It was an outstanding Week 1, as we kicked off the regular season Thursday in Friday in Brazil and Sunday all across the NFL. After studying for draft day, then wondering how the projections would play out, we finally have some data to mull over.
Unfortunately, we also have some major injuries from Week 1. The Cleveland Browns lost tight end David Njoku to what might be a multiweek injury. In the same game, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson also suffered a knee injury. The injuries weren’t limited to tight end as Puka Nacua checked out in the first half with a knee injury, opening the door for others to step up. In addition, the Green Bay Packers lost Jordan Love to what should be a multiweek injury, while Christian McCaffrey was a surprise scratch and could miss even more time.
We’re only heading into Week 2, and you don’t want to panic after only one game. But there were some alarming situations outside of the injuries, which could change the fantasy picture dramatically going forward.
