49ers RB Christian McCaffrey ruled OUT for Week 2, possible IR trip on horizon

The 49ers are now considering placing Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve, which would sideline him this week plus three more games, Shanahan said.

Related Players: Jordan Mason, Isaac Guerendo, Patrick Taylor

Fantasy Impact:

While it's possible that the team brings in another back, they sure weren't opposed to giving Jordan Mason a phenomenal workload last Monday. As it stands, Mason is a must-rostered, must-start option for as long as McCaffrey is out.

The Seahawks listed RB Kenneth Walker III (oblique) as doubtful for Sunday vs. New England.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

If Walker doesn't end up suiting up, Charbonnet needs to be started everywhere. If he is somehow still on your waiver wire, drop what you're doing and go pick him up right now.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Doubtful for Week 2

Jake Ferguson is officially doubtful for Sunday. John Stephens is out. All other Cowboys enter the game without a status designation.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

Now locked in as the No. 2 pass-catcher, Brandin Cooks should be started as a WR3/4 anywhere you have him. Schoonmaker makes for a decent streaming option for managers looking to avoid a goose egg.
