Week 2 Injury Report


One of the big fantasy question marks this week is Pierre Garcon and if his foot is ready to go against the Rams he should have a monster game.  If Garcon is unavailable, which is looking more and more likely, Aldrick Robinson should get the start and will be a nice fantasy pickup.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said that both Steve Smith and Jonathan Stewart should play this week, even though both were limited in practice this week. Smith will have a huge game this week seeing how he lit up the Saints last year and their pass defense didn’t look good at all last week against Robert Griffin III and the Redskins.



Eagles receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are questionable this week but they face a stiff opponent in the Ravens defense. Jackson’s hamstring and Maclin’s hip are concerns and Andy Reid said both would be game time decisions.

Kevin Kolb will get the start in place of John Skelton who was limited all week with an ankle sprain. I would avoid the Cardinals offense, expect Fitzgerald but I believe the Patriots defense should be strong at home this season.

Roddy White has been limited in practice this week but I expect that he will start this weekend because he will have an extra day to rest up.

Austin Collie is listed as doubtful with a concussion, if you have to use a Colt’s receiver I would use Reggie Wayne, who is still a fantasy stud despite being with a young Andrew Luck.

Jason Witten should be much more active this week as he has 10 days to rest up his spleen and don’t expect another two catch game with 10 receiving yards. Witten had a great game against last season with 71 receiving yards and a touchdown expect more of the same.
