Not every injury requires an IR stint to wreck a fantasy lineup.

Several major fantasy players entered the second half of the week with legitimate availability concerns.

🔴 LADD McCONKEY — RIBS

McConkey missed practice Wednesday and Thursday because of the rib injury he suffered in Week 1.

Fantasy Fallout: If McConkey can’t play, Quentin Johnston becomes especially interesting as we look for where Justin Herbert’s targets go.

Beyond the ADP Take: Johnston’s ceiling changes considerably if McConkey is inactive.

🔴 ZAY FLOWERS — HAMSTRING

Flowers erupted for 150 yards and a touchdown before aggravating his hamstring in Week 1 and subsequently missed Wednesday and Thursday practice.

Baltimore’s receiving situation is now one fantasy managers need to monitor closely.

Fantasy Fallout: Rashod Bateman becomes much more interesting if Flowers sits, while Mark Andrews could also see additional opportunities.

🔴 BROCK BOWERS — KNEE

Bowers continues to deal with his knee issue heading into Week 2.

Fantasy Fallout: If Bowers plays, we’re starting him. If he doesn’t, Michael Mayer immediately becomes a short-term TE option worth considering.

🟠 NICO COLLINS — HAMSTRING

This may be the most important new injury we’re monitoring.

Collins injured his hamstring during Wednesday’s practice and then missed Thursday.

Fantasy Fallout: Houston’s entire passing-game hierarchy becomes more interesting if Collins can’t play.

👀 THE BOTTOM LINE

🔴 McConkey
🔴 Flowers
🔴 Bowers
🟠 Collins

Don’t set your Week 2 lineup and forget about it.

Friday’s final practice reports and official game designations could change several fantasy decisions.
