Hill brought in four of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Hill finished as the co-leader in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards, but on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for only 114 yards, tossed two interceptions and took three sacks, those team-leading numbers weren't exactly noteworthy. The veteran speedster entered Week 1 with at least some mild questions surrounding his fantasy outlook; however, Hill appeared to maximize his opportunities in a negative game environment Sunday, and he could be in line for a boost in production in a Week 2 home matchup against a Patriots defense that gave up 362 passing yards to the Raiders' Geno Smith in Week 1.

Emmanwori is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an ankle injury.

Emmanwori appeared to suffer the injury after teammate DeMarcus Lawrence rolled up on the former's ankle early in the first quarter. Emmanwori attempted to run on the sidelines but was eventually taken to the locker room by trainers to undergo further tests to evaluate the severity of the injury. Ty Okada is slated to see more rotational snaps at safety for as long as Emmanwori is out of the game.

Achane rushed seven times for 55 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Achane was certainly efficient on the ground, but his opportunities were capped by a surprising game script that saw the Colts already ahead by a 20-0 margin at halftime. The speedy back did offer underwhelmed fantasy managers some solace with his fourth-quarter 11-yard touchdown reception, and more opportunities on the ground should be available in a Week 2 home matchup against the Patriots.

Taylor rushed 18 times for 71 yards and secured all three targets for 27 yards in the Colts' 33-8 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The Colts somewhat surprisingly opened up with a pass-centric approach in Daniel Jones' debut as the new starting quarterback, but Taylor eventually mixed in effectively throughout the afternoon. The talented back's longest run went for a modest 15 yards, yet he also recorded a 16-yard reception and certainly put together a serviceable fantasy outing to open the campaign. Jones did vulture one goal-line opportunity from Taylor, but the latter will undoubtedly be called on frequently in such scenarios moving forward. Taylor does draw an unenviable matchup Week 2, however, as the stingy Broncos defense pays a visit next Sunday.

Way is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants due to a back injury, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Way may have suffered the injury after hitting the ground back-first on a punt that was partially blocked by Abdul Carter. Way will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury, and it could impact his availability for the Commanders' next game against the Packers on Thursday, even if he returns late Sunday.

Smith (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears.

Smith came under the weather earlier in the week and was given the doubtful tag despite logging back-to-back limited practices to end the week. He won't travel with the team to Chicago, and his next chance to suit up is Week 2 against the Falcons on Sunday, Sept. 14. Smith's absence opens the door for Theo Jackson and Jay Ward to start at safety alongside Josh Metellus in Monday's NFC North clash.

Harrison has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jets due to a knee injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Harrison appeared to injure his knee during Justin Field's one-yard rushing touchdown midway through the fourth quarter. Cole Holcomb and Carson Bruener could see a slight uptick in defensive snaps for the rest of Sunday's game due to Harrison's injury.

McFadden suffered a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Commanders, but it appears he did not suffer any structural damage, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

McFadden appeared to suffer a severe leg injury, as he had to be carted off the field, but early X-rays have come back negative. That's good news for the Giants and the 2022 fifth-rounder, but he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether he has a chance to play against the Cowboys in Week 2.

Jackson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to a toe injury.

Jackson may have aggravated the same toe injury that caused him to miss the entire preseason, per Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald. Larry Borom will likely come in at right tackle if Jackson is unable to return.

Ingram is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams due to an abdominal injury.

Ingram popped up on Thursday's injury report and finished the week with back-to-back limited practices due to an abdominal injury. The injury appears to be severe enough for the 2022 second-rounder to miss Sunday's game, and his next chance to play will be Monday, Sept. 15 against the Buccaneers. With Ingram sidelined, the Texans will likely go with Tytus Howard at right guard, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.
