Bears WR Rome Odunze questionable for Week 1

Sep 11, 2026

Rome Odunze is officially questionable with a calf injury after remaining limited throughout the practice week. The receiver said he is “ready to go,” although Bears head coach Ben Johnson acknowledged the team could exercise caution early in a long season.

Fantasy Impact:

Odunze appears more likely than not to play, but three consecutive limited practices leave some risk of a restricted workload or aggravation. He is a volatile flex at his current ranking. An absence would concentrate Chicago’s passing game around Burden and Loveland, with Raymond, Thomas, and Walker competing for the vacated receiver reps.

Saints HC Kellen Moore: Alvin Kamara “ready to go” for Week 1

Saints

0 minutes ago

Alvin Kamara is officially questionable for Sunday’s opener against Detroit, but he progressed from limited practices Wednesday and Thursday to full participation Friday. Moore subsequently described the veteran running back as “ready to go.”

Related Players: Travis Etienne, Kendre Miller, Audric Estime

Fantasy Impact:

Kamara’s full practice suggests he will play, but his long layoff and uncertain initial workload make him extremely difficult to trust in Week 1 lineups. Etienne is still the clear option in the Saints backfield until proven otherwise.

Dan Quinn said every player on Washington’s 53-man roster has been cleared to face Philadelphia. That includes Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who was limited Wednesday and Thursday with a groin injury.

Related Players: Rachaad White, Kaytron Allen, Jerome Ford

Fantasy Impact:

Croskey-Merritt is available as a Week 1 Flex, although Quinn said the Commanders still need to discuss possible workload limitations for players returning from injuries. The close rankings between Croskey-Merritt and White reflect the uncertainty surrounding Washington’s initial backfield split.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love expected to play Sunday

Jeremiyah Love is expected to make his NFL debut against the Chargers after practicing on a limited basis this week. He has been recovering from the high-ankle sprain he suffered during the preseason.

Related Players: Tyler Allgeier, Zonovan Knight

Fantasy Impact:

Love can return to fantasy lineups as an RB2/Flex, but Arizona may manage his workload coming off the ankle injury. Allgeier remains likely to handle a meaningful share of the backfield work and was listed first on the team’s unofficial depth chart.
