Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game with the Rams, though he practiced in full today. Positive steps towards a return.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze, DeAndre Carter

Allen came in and led them team in target share in Week 1, but Caleb Williams had a rough day at the office in his NFL premiere. Allen should regain that role as a low-aDOT target hog who is particularly valuable in PPR leagues as a WR3 with the upside for more.

Good news for the #Bears: Veteran WR Keenan Allen, who has missed the last couple games with a heel injury, is back at practice today on a limited basis. He's tracking to return this week if all goes well.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game with the Colts.

In a follow-up tweet, it was announced that Odunze has no injury designation, so it's possible he has a little bit of a coming-out party in Week 3. That said, the Colts rush defense has been awful through two weeks, so it's likely the Bears focus on the ground game. Moore is still a must-start WR2 while Odunze floats into desperation Flex status.

Allen hasn't practiced all week. Odunze was limited today.

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. D.J. Moore is a must-start, even with Caleb Williams' poor Week 1 performance.

As Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson struggles to regain his old form, he has a new legal issue.

On Monday, Watson was sued in Houston for sexual assault and battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The plaintiff in the new case, who filed under the Jane Doe pseudonym, contends that she went on a date with Watson. Most if not all other cases arose from paid massages that Watson had arranged. The details can be found in the story.

From a fantasy angle, the story went on to say it’s possible that Watson could be subject to further scrutiny under the Personal Conduct Policy. It’s also possible that a suspension — if one is imposed — could give the Browns a path toward voiding his remaining salary guarantees and ending the relationship. The story added the biggest difference between the latest case and the others is that Watson specifically is accused of sexual assault.

Mike Williams available in Week 1, Saleh says. Had a nice day in practice today, with 4/5 catches, per Saleh. So there you have it: Mike Williams will play vs SF.

If everyone is healthy, namely Aaron Rodgers, the Jets could be interesting in fantasy for the first time in decades. Williams could carve out a role as a fantasy WR3 with upside for more.

Bengals RB Chris Evans suffered a torn patellar tendon during today’s practice, and he will miss the entire regular season.

Just a devastating blow for the former Michigan star, who was having a strong camp with Cincinnati.

It seemed as if Evans were on the outside looking in on the roster bubble, but this injury will clear the way for Williams to presumably lock in a spot. Hopefully Evans has a smooth recovery and finds a team for the 2025 season.

Browns QB Deshaun Watson’s shoulder was cleared for full contact, head coach Kevin Stefanski said Sunday.

Watson did not play in Sunday’s preseason opener against the Green Bay Packers but had been throwing in nearly every training camp practice this summer. He is expected to get a “vast majority” of the first-team reps during the team’s upcoming joint practices Wednesday and Thursday with the Minnesota Vikings. He will not play in the game Saturday but Stefanski did leave open the possibility of Watson playing in the preseason finale August 24 against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Jets activated WR Mike Williams from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after he passed his physical.

This doesn't necessarily mean he'll be a full-go by Week 1 but it's a step in the right direction. If everyone is healthy, namely Aaron Rodgers, the Jets could be interesting in fantasy for the first time in decades. Williams could carve out a role as a fantasy WR3 with upside for more.
