ESPN's Week 2 fantasy football inactives update notes that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is dealing with back soreness and is listed as questionable, but he is expected to start against the Houston Texans.
Burrow told ESPN that it would be "ridiculous" if the injury caused him to miss Week 2, and the outlet ranks him as a fantasy QB1 despite the tough matchup.
The update also indicates that wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's teammate, Collins, has been ruled out, while Flowers is doubtful and Nacua is questionable for their respective teams.
Official Sunday inactives are expected to begin arriving approximately 90 minutes before kickoff, with early games seeing lists around 11:30 a.m. ET and late‑afternoon games around 2:30 p.m. ET.
ESPN says it will post fantasy‑relevant updates and analysis as each team releases its official inactives list, urging managers to refresh often for the latest information.
For additional preparation, ESPN directs readers to Mike Clay's Playbook, the Week 2 Buzz, Week 2 Rankings and Matchup rankings for Week 2.
