NFL Week 1 Injury Report: All you need to know for DFS and fantasy football

Injury Analysis: Falcons WR Drake London has been dealing with knee injury since the first game of the pre-season. He has been limited this week but I do believe he makes his NFL debut in Week 1.

Saints WR Michael Thomas has been dealing with a hamstring injury for the past couple of weeks. I believe he is dealing with a Grade 1 and will be ready for Week 1.  WR Tre-Quan Smith has a groin injury and has been ruled out for Week 1. He is likely dealing with a Grade 1 strain, RTP two to three weeks.

Injury Analysis: Dolphins RB Salvon Ahmed has been a limited participant all week with a heel injury. I do not believe it is a major concern and he will be ready for Week 1.

Patriots WR Jakobi Meyers injured his knee in the final preseason game and his been limited in practice all week. I am optimistic Meyers plays in Week 1.  RB Ty Montgomery suffered a potentially serious ankle injury in the preseason finale. The Patriots have interestingly enough labeled Montgomery as a knee injury on their report. When I saw his injury I thought he would be a long shot to play Week 1, he has a chance to play but is likely a game-time decision.

Injury Analysis: Steelers WR Diontae Johnson has been dealing likely with an A/C joint sprain in his shoulder. I believe he will play in Week 1 but he may require a harness and/or pain injection. If he does land in a similar manner he could easily reinjure his shoulder.

Injury Analysis: 49ers TE George Kittle was reported to be dealing with a groin injury Monday. He is a tough player that is known for playing through injuries but I just do not believe he will be ready for Week 1. If he does he as at high risk for making the groin injury worse and would be limited on the field.

Injury Analysis: Cardinals WR Rondale Moore has been ruled out of Week 1 with a hamstring injury. He is likely dealing with a Grade 1 strain and could miss one to three weeks. TE Zach Ertz sandwiched Thursday's DNP with two limited practices due to his calf issue. I am optimistic Ertz is ready in time to play Week 1.

Injury Analysis: Giants WR Sterling Shepard has been working his way back since tearing his Achilles last season. He will be ready to play Week 1 but his production will likely get better as the season progresses. 

Injury Analysis: Bucs WR Chris Godwin has been making great progress from his multi-ligament injury he suffered in early January. I do not believe it is smart for a Super Bowl-aspiring team to rush their star player back from a serious injury. Risk drastically decreases after nine months. I believe he will not play in Week 1, but if he does play he will likely be extremely limited volume-wise and will increase as the season goes. WR Russell Gage will likely be ready for Week 1 after dealing with a hamstring issue for the past few weeks.

Cowboys QB Dak Prescott suffered an ankle injury this week but it sounds like it was more of a shoe malfunction. He will be ready to go Week 1. WR Michael Gallup has been working his way back from an ACL tear. He did not get surgery until February so I do not believe he plays Week 1 and will not play until around the nine month mark.

Injury Analysis: Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III is recovering from his hernia surgery and I do not expect him to be ready for Week 1. He should be ready to make his rookie debut in the next week or two.

Broncos WR K.J. Hamler has made great progress with his serious knee/hip injury he suffered 11 months ago. I believe he will be ready to go for Week 1.
