The New York Giants announced that newly-signed tight end Ben Patrick has decided to retire as he no longer wants to play football.

Fantasy Impact:

Patrick was more of a blocking tight end, so his decision to hang it up won't dramatically impact New York's passing game.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman cleared, TE Isaiah Likely Out for Week 2

1 minute ago

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is officially out again Sunday vs. Cleveland. WR Rashod Bateman (personal) is good to go.

Related Players: Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Mark Andrews

Fantasy Impact:

Andrews disappointed in Week 1, but we've been here before. His efficiency in the red zone makes him a top-7 (at least) option in any given week, particularly with Likely out.

Consider Bateman a boom/bust WR4 option in Week 2.

Bills RB James Cook (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

All systems go for James Cook as a high-end RB2 here. Keep Davis in the desperation RB4 range.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy officially Doubtful for Week 2

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially doubtful for Sunday vs. the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

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.
