The Ravens downgraded WR Zay Flowers to out for Sunday's game against the Saints with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Flowers did practice on a limited basis Friday, but the Ravens will allow him to rest and get ready for the trip to Brazil in Week 3 against the Cowboys. Rashod Bateman stands to lead the wide receiver group Sunday with Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker behind him.

Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters Saturday wide receiver Puka Nacua will not practice Saturday and is questionable for Monday’s game against the Giants.

Fantasy Impact:

Nacua did not practice during the media portion of Friday’s practice. He is listed with a hip injury and McVay added Nacua is dealing with soreness in his groin, which began after practice Thursday. Nacua is looking like a game-time decision for Monday. Jordan Whittingham is a potential replacement if you’re in a pinch and Davante Adams could see a very healthy amount of targets. Tight end Terrence Ferguson will also be in the mix.

The Steelers ruled out WR Michael Pittman Jr. for Sunday against the Patriots with a foot injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Pittman did not practice all week. He will look to return next week against the Bengals. For now, D.K. Metcalf and Roman Wilson will likely operate as the top two wide receivers with Pat Freiermuth working underneath following scoring a touchdown last week against the Falcons.
