Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright (knee), who was listed as doubtful on Friday's final injury report, is officially out for Sunday's Week 2 divisional clash against the New England Patriots. Wright had a minor surgery on his right knee in late August and was always expected to miss time early in the 2025 season. With a quick turnaround next Thursday night in another divisional tilt against the Buffalo Bills, Wright is probably going to be facing an uphill battle to make his season debut. When fully healthy, the explosive and fast Wright should operate as De'Von Achane's primary backup. Miami's offense looked terrible in the Week 1 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, giving rookie Ollie Gordon II limited opportunities to make noise behind Achane. Fantasy managers should not be starting Gordon against the Pats with Wright out again.

Buffalo Bills veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel is once again a healthy inactive for Sunday's Week 2 divisional contest on the road against the New York Jets. Samuel was also a healthy scratch for the season-opening win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday night. Right now, the 29-year-old is buried on Buffalo's receiver depth chart, thanks to the offseason additions of Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Tyrell Shavers are also ahead of him. Samuel should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats for now. In his first year with Buffalo in 2024, he caught 31 of his 46 targets for 253 yards and only one touchdown in 14 regular-season games (two starts).

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) has officially been ruled out of Week 2 against the visiting Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Mullings made his NFL debut in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos as the RB3 behind Tony Pollard and Julius Chestnut, but was quickly injured in the first half on special teams. The 22-year-old sixth-rounder didn't see a single touch on offense in the 20-12 loss in Denver. With Tyjae Spears (ankle) on Injured Reserve and set to miss at least the first four weeks of the season, Tennessee's backfield depth behind Pollard and Chestnut is dangerously thin. Now that Mullings is out, the Titans were forced to bring up Jordan Mims from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Rams. He'll operate as the team's No. 3 RB in Week 2.

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Efton Chism III is once again a healthy scratch for Week 2 on Sunday versus the division-rival Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. Chism impressed the coaching staff in training camp and the preseason, but it wasn't enough to put him on the active game-day roster the first two weeks of 2025. The 23-year-old was an undrafted free agent and has more work to do to get on the field on Sundays in his first NFL season. For now, he's just a bench stash in deep dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues. At the moment, he's blocked by receivers Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, and Kyle Williams. If an injury arises to any of New England's receivers, Chism will likely be the first to benefit.

Detroit Lions running back Sione Vaki (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. He was limited in practice this week but was not expected to play after the Lions listed him as doubtful. The 24-year-old played in 16 games last year, totaling 51 scrimmage yards, but has not yet stepped on the field in his second pro campaign. Craig Reynolds will continue to operate as the Lions' No. 3 running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

For the second straight week to begin the 2025 season, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton is a healthy inactive for the Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burton had a pretty rough rookie season in 2024 that involved some maturity issues, but he got rave reviews during training camp in the summer. For now, though, Charlie Jones is ahead of him as the team's WR4 behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas. The 24-year-old former third-rounder caught four passes for 107 yards on 14 targets in 14 games in his rookie season. Burton isn't anywhere close to the fantasy radar in redraft leagues right now.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Jahdae Walker (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as doubtful after missing practice on Friday. The 23-year-old did suit up in last week's season opener, but he only played on special teams. Chicago should have no trouble replacing him on special teams this week, and his absence has no impact on the Bears' offense or fantasy managers' lineups.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Having Robinson available will be key for the Giants, as he's their second-best option in the passing game behind Malik Nabers. The 24-year-old was productive in last week's season opener, catching six of eight targets for 55 yards. He should continue to deliver similar productivity this week against the Cowboys, as the Giants are expected to throw the ball a lot while playing from behind. He ranks as a mid-range WR3/flex, especially in PPR leagues.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. The fifth-round rookie has now been a healthy scratch for each of the Cowboys' first two games of the season. In his absence, Miles Sanders will serve as the backup running back behind Javonte Williams. Sanders and Williams are the Cowboys' only two active running backs, but fullback Hunter Luepke should also see some blocking work in the backfield. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should be patient with Blue and hold onto him, as it's likely only a matter of time before he's active as the No. 3 running back or leapfrogs Miles Sanders for the backup job.

The Buffalo Bills have declared CB Taron Johnson, OT Chase Lundt, CB Jordan Hancock, DL Ed Oliver, WR Curtis Samuel, LB Shaq Thompson and DE Landon Jackson inactive for Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He had been listed as doubtful after missing all three practices leading up to this weekend's game. Parkinson is working his way back from an AC joint sprain that he suffered last Sunday against the Houston Texans. Parkinson was actually able to finish last week's game after receiving medical attention, but evidently, the Rams aren't going to send him onto the field for Week 2. Terrance Ferguson is active for his NFL debut and will assist in filling Parkinson's void alongside a tight end committee that also features Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen. None of these Rams tight ends can be trusted in fantasy football, but Ferguson is an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) is officially active for Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Jennings had been listed as questionable, but there was increased optimism about his status heading into gameday. The shoulder issue limited Jennings to just 66 percent of the offensive snaps last Sunday as he caught two of five targets for 16 yards. This week, he'll be playing with a quarterback downgrade as Mac Jones steps in for the injured Brock Purdy (shoulder). Jones still has a solid arm, and a favorable matchup against the Saints bodes well for Jennings. Plus, the 49ers will also be without George Kittle (hamstring), creating several vacated targets that could go Jennings' way. He's a solid WR3/flex option this week.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is slated to see 10-15 snaps in his NFL debut on Sunday. While Judkins was able to practice with the team leading up to this contest against the Ravens, it appears the Browns will closely monitor his workload in this game. Judkins was unable to play in the preseason and participate in training camp as he was facing domestic violence charges. While his prosecutors eventually dropped their charges, he could still face a suspension from the league. However, for now, Judkins should remain a key part of the Cleveland backfield. In Week 1, the Browns relied on fellow rookie Dylan Sampson and veteran Jerome Ford. With Judkins now returning, managers should expect Sampson to remain the lead option, with Judkins seeing a few opportunities in short-yardage situations. As a result, Sampson still holds flex appeal while Judkins is a touchdown-dependent high-risk RB3.

Updating previous reports, an MRI exam for Washington Commanders RB Austin Ekeler (Achilles) confirmed that he has suffered a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.

Fantasy Spin: Ekeler sustained the injury during Week 2's game against the Green Bay Packers and will be supplanted by rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt as Washington's lead running back. Croskey-Merritt can be viewed as an RB3 with upside and should be added immediately in all fantasy leagues where he is still available. RB Jeremy McNichols is expected to move into the No. 2 role for the Commanders and can be viewed as an RB4 or RB5 option in most leagues, although RB Chris Rodriguez should see an increased number of offensive snaps as well going forward.
