Bills WR D.J. Moore believed to have suffered AC-joint sprain

Sep 18, 2026

Bills WR DJ Moore, who was off to a fast start in Buffalo, is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain, sources say. While it’s not a serious injury, @AdamSchefter reports his status is up in the air for next week.

Fantasy Impact:

The favorable diagnosis appears to have eliminated a prolonged absence, but Moore could still miss Week 3. Coleman caught all six of his targets for 63 yards Thursday and would be positioned for considerably more playing time alongside Shakir and Palmer if Moore sits.

Steelers WR Michael Pittman Jr. downgraded to DNP Thursday

Michael Pittman Jr. did not practice Thursday because of a foot injury after being limited Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

The Thursday downgrade creates legitimate Week 2 uncertainty. Metcalf would consolidate an already substantial target share if Pittman sits, while Wilson would be positioned for a larger route share. Freiermuth could also receive additional short-area opportunities.

Falcons QB Tua Tagovailoa remains sidelined Thursday

Tua Tagovailoa missed his second consecutive practice with an oblique injury and has yet to participate this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Tagovailoa is trending toward an absence, but Atlanta’s replacement remains uncertain. Rush offers the safer health profile, while Penix would carry more volatility after returning from a significant knee injury. London and Pitts would retain starting consideration with either quarterback, though both would have reduced passing-game ceilings.

Saints WR Chris Olave added to injury report with hamstring issue

Olave was added to Thursday’s injury report because of a hamstring injury. He was able to participate on a limited basis.

Fantasy Impact:

Friday’s participation will be important because Olave was added rather than carried over from Wednesday. Vele would become New Orleans’ leading wide-receiver option if Olave cannot play, with Johnson and Fant potentially absorbing additional middle-of-the-field opportunities. Shough would receive a significant downgrade without his clear No. 1 target.
