Tyrell Williams ruled out for Week 2 (concussion) against Packers

Sep 18, 2021

There was always an outside chance that Williams was going to play Monday night, but with an extra day to be cleared some had their hopes up.

Fantasy Impact:

The biggest beneficiary of Williams absence will be T.J. Hockenson, who vaults himself into one of Week 2's top tight end plays. Expect the Lions to deploy Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond three-wide sets.

The Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

The move was a formality after head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday against the Cardinals. He is still listed as questionable but is fully expected to play. The Dolphins hope Tagovailoa’s return will give them the spark they need on offense. Tim Boyle was released in a corresponding move.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins is listed as questionable for Sunday with a quad injury.
Higgins was limited in practice today and his status will be monitored through the weekend.
Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. (knee) and safety Geno Stone (shin) both went full today and do not have a game status.

Related Players: Ja'Marr Chase, Andrei Iosivas, Trenton Irwin

Fantasy Impact:

If Higgins misses more time, expect Chase's target share to skyrocket, while Iosivas would once again be an interesting Flex play option.

Chris Olave has been cleared from the concussion protocol

Related Players: Bub Means, Mason Tipton, Cedrick Wilson

Fantasy Impact:

Olave should return to his tole as the WR1, but it still looks like Spencer Rattler will be out there, which slots him somewhere around a fantasy WR3.
