- Fantasy Football. Start 'em Sit 'em Week 2 for Fantasy ahead of Sunday Football
- Fantasy Football. What time do waivers process on NFL Fantasy? This is when you'll be able to claim a player
The NFL is back, and injuries are a common occurrence, so it's important to pay close attention to whether it's a good time to use reserves in Fantasy Football. It is estimated that for week two, around 329 players are injured and likely to be unavailable.
Most of these players were already dealing with injuries before the start of the season, but that doesn't change the fact that teams will need to find options within their rosters to cover significant losses.
The Browns and the Panthers are the most affected teams, with 17 potential absences for week 2 of the NFL.
One case that has the Baltimore Ravens concerned is Lamar Jackson, who is doubtful after finishing the game against the Chiefs with an injury. Reports indicate that he participated in practice on Wednesday, so it is highly likely that he will be able to play against the Raiders.
For the first game of week 2 between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins, there are some absences. For Buffalo, Taron Johnson, Dawuane Smoot, and Javon Solomon will not see action. For Miami, the injured players are De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, and Malik Washington.
Probably the most anticipated game of the week is the Cincinnati Bengals versus the Kansas City Chiefs. For Cincinnati's rematch from Super Bowl LVII, they have 11 players with a high probability of not seeing action, including Tee Higgins.
