Karabell's Week 1 superflex ranksBest, worst matchups by positionThe Playbook for Week 1Top players under pressureBowen's players to upgradeMatchups to exploit in Week 1Field Pass: Rookies, backfields Key Week 1 WR/CB matchups
Drake London's knee is questionable.
Impact: London's workout on Saturday likely tipped the scales for the rookie, who is now reportedly going to play.
J.K. Dobbins is a running back for the Baltimore Ravens.
Impact: He wants to play, but the Ravens may be cautious. Some combo of Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis may be safer in Week 1.
Velus Jones Jr. is doubtful with his hamstring.
Impact: The rookie will have to wait before challenging Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle and Equanimeous St. Brown for targets.
Michael Woods II is out of the picture due to illness.
Impact: Here's another rookie who will miss a Week 1 debut. David Bell's value rises a bit.
There is a question about Ty Montgomery's knee.
Impact: Typically, for the Patriots a "Questionable" means "He's playing." Still, Rhamondre Stevenson is the better flex play.
The knee is Questionable.
Impact: Meyers should still end up with better stats than Matthew Slater or Kendrick Bourne.
Tre'Quan Smith is out due to a shoulder injury.
Impact: You're about to get introduced to Chris Olave.
The question is posed by Michael Thomas.
Impact: Now expected to play, but Jarvis Landry could get a huge fantasy boost if Thomas is unable to go a full 60.
The quarterback for NYJ is out with a knee injury.
Impact: Get ready for around four weeks of Joe Flacco.
George Kittle is a football player.
Impact: It would be very surprising to see the 49ers risk things here. Tyler Kroft to step up.

Impact: Although he may play, he'll likely still be limited. Maxx Williams would see more time.

Impact: Sammy Watkins could be pressed into a large role. Rookie Romeo Doubs might surprise.
