Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) expected to play Week 2

Commanders believe veteran RB Austin Ekeler did in fact tear his Achilles during Thursday night’s loss at Green Bay. Ekeler still needs to undergo imaging that is scheduled Friday for confirmation.

Rodriguez has been a healthy scratch twice to begin the season and wasn't pegged for the third-down role to begin with, so we should imagine most of the work will go to Croskey-Merritt and McNichols, unless the Commanders bring in another body (which is very possible). For now, JCM should be boosted into legit RB2 consideration based on matchup, while McNichols is somwhere in the RB4/5 range.

Packers WR Jayden Reed will miss 6-8 weeks with a broken collarbone.

Related Players: Dontayvion Wicks, Malik Heath, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, Savion Williams

This would presumably tighten the WR rotation a little bit, but as we saw on TNF, it would take a lot of consolidation to be able to trust any of the Packers receivers to garner a large workload. Continue to hold Golden, and potentially also Doubs in deeper leagues, but TE Tucker Kraft is the easiest click of this group, even after Reed's injury.

A good sign: Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy, who injured his shoulder just six days ago, returned to practice today on a limited basis.

Related Players: Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Travis Kelce

The rumor has been that the team will try to have Worthy play through the injury with a brace, but it's hard to expect him back out on the field in Week 2. Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling ,while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.
