Joe Mixon– Ankle- Questionable
We’ll start off the two minute drill with some bad news: The walking news headline Adam Schefter reported (either late last night or early this morning) that Mixon plans to play. The problem? In reference to his ankle, Mixon wants to “test it out” before making a final decision to play or not. So, even though he draws a questionable tag, this is more of game time decision. Not what you want to hear just hours before kick off. Find a better option. (Take a look at his gnarly injury here)
Mark Ingram– Shoulder– Questionable
Next on the list is Mark Ingram, who also draws a questionable, but his situation was not worrisome from the beginning. If the questionable tag scares others in your pool away, slide him into a lineup or two this morning as I’m not concerned about his shoulder and this is another great spot for him. Moving on to the Steelers.
James Conner– Illness- No Designation
The third player on my radar is James Conner. This is just a reminder that he’s a solid mid-salary option this week as his illness is in the rear view mirror. It’s always nice to have good news in the two-minute drill, isn’t it? Now, let’s move on to pass catchers.
Mike Williams- Knee- Questionable
Unfortunately, this next guy is bad news. Williams’ injury continues to be shrouded in mystery and to be quite honest, seems serious. He’s a game time decision with a questionable tag, so I’m avoiding him today despite Adam Schefter reporting he’ll be used in the red zone today. Speaking of big bodied targets, next up on the list is a tight end.
Mark Andrews- Foot- Questionable
It was unexpected when Andrews didn’t practice on Friday. However, considering that the Ravens are confident he’ll play and the fact that his teammate Mark Ingram is also questionable, I’m okay with rolling Andrews out there today. Now, let’s move on to his teammate.
Marquise Brown- Hip- Questionable
By nature, I am very conservative when it comes to player injuries. That’s why I view Hollywood Brown this week as a cautious dart throw in tournaments. I consider him a yellow-light as he was only on the field in week one for 12 snaps. Add in that he missed most of the preseason, continues to be questionable, and the Ravens’ plethora of offensive weapons and you get a yellow light.
Le’Veon Bell-Shoulder-Questionable
Last but not least, let’s talk Bell, who plays on Monday night. Although there are yellow flags surrounding his shoulder, what other offensive options do the Jets have with Darnold out? Start him as a volume play in the show-down slates as the injury might make him slightly less chalk.
That wraps up the week two version of the two-minute injury drill. Good luck this week!
