Injuries suck, but they are a part of professional sports. Of course, they’re also part of fantasy sports and betting. In both instances, they can be the difference between wins and losses on a weekly basis.
As a fantasy football manager, you’ll need to know which players are in and which are out. We’re here to help you keep a tab on all of the important ones.
We’re just one week into the NFL season and the injuries are already piling up. Some are big, some small, but all are important in one way or another.
Here’s a look at the injuries ahead of Week 2.
WR Michael Pittman Jr. - Indianapolis Colts
Week 1 was fun for the Colts’ WR1. Week 2 won’t be nearly as enjoyable from the sidelines.
Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) has been downgraded to Out for tomorrow.

RB J.K. Dobbins - Baltimore Ravens
Are we inching closer to a return? Surely. Will Dobbins actually return in Week 2 from his ACJ injury? We’ll see, he says. He;s officially listed as questionable.
The #Ravens officially listed RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) as questionable for Sunday.

WR Tee Higgins - Cincinnati Bengals
Tee Higgins was diagnosed with a concussion when the Bengals hosted the Steelers in Week 1. He’s listed as questionable, but it seems as though he’ll be out there Sunday in Dallas.
#Bengals expecting WR Tee Higgins to play against the #Cowboys Sunday after concussion in Week 1. He missed practice Thursday to attend funeral for his father, who passed away two weeks ago. So absence unrelated to his injury.

RB Alvin Kamara - New Orleans Saints

TE George Kittle - San Francisco 49ers
The good news is that Kittle got in some practice time towards the end of the week. The bad news is that he’s still on the injury report. But at least there’s a little optimism towards him making his debut.
Kyle Shanahan said George Kittle is a game-time decision. He was limited in today's practice and is listed as questionable on the injury report.
