Team	Pos	Player	Injury	Wed	Thu	Fri	Off Inj	Playing Status
ARZ	S	Adrian Wilson	ankle	L	L	L	Q	DB3 value but check inactives before starting.
ARZ	CB	Patrick Peterson	groin	-	L	L	Q	Injury or not I don't think Peterson should be in lineups this week.
ATL	CB	Brent Grimes	knee	O	O	O	O	Placed on IR by Falcons
ATL	LB	Sean Weatherspoon	hamstring	L	L			Situation to monitor but with it being a MNF game, might need to look elsewhere.
BAL	LB	Paul Kruger	back	DNP	DNP	L	Q	LB designation bigger impact on lack of fantasy value.
BAL	DE	Pernell McPhee	knee	DNP	DNP	L	Q	An option in deeper leagues, but watch inactives report.
CAR	DE	Greg Hardy	illness	-	DNP	F	P	Full practice means he should be good to go this week.
CIN	DE	Carlos Dunlap	knee	L	L	L	Q	Wait to see him actually on the field before putting him in your lineup.
CIN	CB	Dre Kirkpatrick	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
CIN	CB	Jason Allen	quadricep	DNP	L	L	Q	Should play but look for DB help elsewhere.
CIN	LB	Thomas Howard	knee	-	L	DNP	O	Torn ACL has ended Howard's season. Dan Skuta is expected to start at WLB in his place.
CLE	LB	James-Michael Johnson	ribs, oblique	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
DAL	DT	Jay Ratliff	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
DAL	LB	DeMarcus Ware	hamstring	L	L	L	P	Should be good to go.
DAL	S	Gerald Sensabaugh	concussion	L	F	F	P	Looks like he will play but not a solid fantasy option.
DEN	CB	Chris Harris	ankle	DNP	DNP			In a walking boot and doesn't look promising to play.
DET	S	Louis Delmas	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	D	Unlikely to play. Not a viable fantasy option this week.
DET	CB	Chris Houston	ankle	L	L	L	Q	Houston could play this week but isn't a safe fantasy option.
HOU	DE	JJ Watt	elbow	F	F	F	P	Expected to play. Keep him in your lineup!
HOU	LB	Brian Cushing	ribs	F	L	F	P	Expected to play, projected as 3rd best LB this week.
HOU	LB	Brooks Reed	hip	L	L	F	P	Should play but not a fantasy option.
IND	LB	Pat Angerer	foot	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT Jerrell Freeman is his replacement.
IND	DE	Dwight Freeney	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT. Not good for the Colts defense.
JAC	DE	Austen Lane	foot	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT	OUT
JAC	DE	George Selvie	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT	OUT
JAC	CB	Derek Cox	hamstring	L	L	L	Q	Would be a plus for Jaguars defense to get him back on field but not a fantasy play this week.
JAC	LB	Daryl Smith	groin	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT	OUT
KCC	S	Kendrick Lewis	shoulder	L	L	L	O	OUT
KCC	CB	Brandon Flowers	foot	L	F	F	Q	Flowers should get back on field this week. Not a good fantasy option.
KCC	DE	Allen Bailey	ankle	L	L	L	O	OUT
KCC	DT	Anthony Toribio	ankle	L	L	L	O	OUT
MIA	DT	Randy Starks	groin	L	L	F	P	Starks was a great play in DT mandatory leagues last week. Should play this week and is a must start in DT mandatory leagues, DL2/3 value in combined leagues.
MIN	CB	Chris Cook	biceps	L	L	L	P	Should play but would avoid for fantasy purposes.
NEP	S	Patrick Chung	shoulder	F	F	F	P	Will play on Sunday.
NOS	CB	Jabari Greer	groin	F	F	F	Q	Full practice all week should get Greer back on the field. Fantasy wise look elsewhere for DB help.
NOS	LB	Scott Shanle	knee	L	L	F	Q	No fantasy value, even if he wasn't on the injury report.
NYG	LB	Keith Rivers	hamstring	L	L	L	D	Rivers with injury issues? Color me not surprised. Avoid him this week.
NYG	CB	Prince Amukamara	ankle	L	L	L	Q	The Giants secondary needs him back, fantasy owners should wait to see him on field first.
NYG	CB	Michael Coe	hamstring	L	L	L	P	Giants can ill afford to lose another CB.
NYJ	DT	Sione Pouha	back	L	L	F	P	Will help to stifle Steelers inside run game. No fantasy value.
NYJ	CB	Darrelle Revis	concussion	DNP	DNP	L	O	Bump up the Steelers WRs. Kyle Wilson will replace Revis and garners consideration in deeper CB mandatory leagues.
NYJ	S	Laron Landry	heel	F	DNP	F	P	Landry will most likely be on the injury report every week. After week 1 it looks like he is a viable DB.
NYJ	LB	Bryan Thomas	hamstring	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT. Sneaky play is Aaron Maybin in deeper big play leagues.
NYJ	CB	Antonio Cromartie	shoulder	F	F	F	P	Will play, he has to without Revis.
OAK	DT	Richard Seymour	knee	L	L	L	P	Option in DT mandatory leagues, but check inactives.
OAK	LB	Rolando McClain	ankle	DNP	L	L	Q	Will definitely have to check the inactive report before putting McClain in your lineups. However, I don't really like the matchup so it might be best to find a replacement.
OAK	CB	Ron Bartell	shoulder	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
PHI	S	Kurt Coleman	facial lacerations	L	F	F	P	Football players don't miss games due to facial lacerations.
PIT	S	Troy Polamalu	calf	DNP	DNP	DNP	Q	Very likely to miss week 2. Avoid for fantasy purposes.
PIT	LB	James Harrison	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	Q	Looks like Chris Carter will get the start again in week 2. Avoid Harrison until he gets back on the field.
SDC	DT	Antonio Garay	ankle	F	F	F	P	Only a consideration in DT mandatory leagues.
SDC	CB	Quentin Jammer	thumb	DNP	F	F	P	Pass for fantasy.
SF	LB	NaVorro Bowman	shoulder	L	F	PNC	P	Should be good to go but monitor game day inactives.
STL	DT	Michael Brockers	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT
TBB	CB	EJ Biggers	foot	F	L	L	D	No fantasy value.
TBB	CB	Anthony Gaitor	hamstring	F	F	L	D	No fantasy value.
TEN	LB	Colin McCarthy	ankle	DNP	DNP	DNP	O	OUT. Witherspoon should slide to MLB, don't see much fantasy value with him. Too risky to rely on.
TEN	DT	Jurrell Casey	elbow	F	F	F	Q	If in a DT mandatory league monitor inactives.
WAS	S	Brandon Meriweather	knee	DNP	DNP	DNP	OUT	OUT 2-4 weeks due to knee injury. Gomes started in week 1, not Reed Doughty. Shanahan has played games with the S spot before so avoid if possible.
