NFL week one is upon us, and the purpose of the two-minute drill injury analysis is to provide a final two-minute drill injury analysis on relevant player injuries to help you win today. Let’s start with the 1:00PM kick-offs.
Cam Newton: How fitting to start the two-minute drill with Cam Newton, who is not on the injury report. However, he is on my list of “if not now, then never” list. In other words, many analysts and talking heads label Cam an “injury risk”. While I don’t share that same sentiment (let’s say I do for argument’s sake) week one is the time to start him anyway. Fire away with Cam Newton.
Todd Gurley: Let’s continuewith this game and my “list.” Enough with the talk. I mention here that if we’regoing to trot Gurley out in tournaments, week one is the time to do it.
Cooper Kupp: In true two-minute drill fashion, this one’s quick: Fire away.
Odell Beckham Jr: He has no formalinjury designation, just a weird way of communicating. His head coach says Beckhamis 100%. Just one day prior, OBJ said in an interview that he hasn’t been ableto “open up and run”, that’s a cause for concern. You have better options.
Stefon Diggs: Diggs draws a Questionable tag for Sunday. I was planning on using Diggs this week myself before he came up on the injury report on Wednesday. If we’re being honest, the smart move is to find another option. The devil’s advocate in me says that in a game with shoot-out potential, ya gotta risk-it-for-the-biscuit. Ultimately, I’m staying away, but if one of you out there takes the risk, it could pay off big.
Robby Anderson: Anderson wasalso limited in practice all week with a calf injury and is listed as questionablefor Sunday against the Bills. I’m less optimistic on him than Diggs and I’m stayingaway until we get a clearer picture of how long this injury may linger.
Jordan Reed: He’s likely out for Sunday and I’m just hoping this dude finds what he’s looking for after his seventh documented concussion. You’re probably steering clear of this atrocious offense, but I suppose check the tight end depth chart for a lottery ticket/flyer.
Mike Evans: The only playerI’m truly concerned about in the post 4:00PM kick-offs is Evans. He fought offa stomach bug all week, so fatigue and hydration could be a big concern. Theearly September weather in Florida doesn’t make me any more optimistic. However,like Diggs, if you risk it, there could be a biscuit waiting for you at the finishline.
That’s it, the two-minute drill is over. How are you feeling?
Remember, this is a game of probability. You must be the one to make the decision. Happy week one and good luck!
