Fantasy football injuries are starting to pile up across the league heading into the Week 2 NFL schedule. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers went down with a season-ending Achilles injury, the most notable Fantasy football injury in Week 1. Backup quarterback Zach Wilson engineered a comeback win against Buffalo, but he finished with just 140 passing yards, one touchdown and one interception. Is Wilson a quality replacement option for Rodgers in Week 2 Fantasy football lineups? Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) and Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) are both questionable this week.

Top Week 2 Fantasy football injury projections
One Fantasy football injury that the model can help you deal with: Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins. The Ravens lost Dobbins to a season-ending Achilles injury in Week 1, leaving many Fantasy owners scrambling to find a replacement. Dobbins entered the season as the top running back on the Ravens depth chart despite playing just seven games in the last two years due to knee injuries.
The Ravens have plenty of depth behind Dobbins, including running backs Gus Edwards and Justice Hill. Edwards received most of the snaps on early downs in the win over Houston, while Hill was given most of the touches in the red zone. Hill capitalized with a pair of touchdowns, but that production could be inconsistent moving forward.
Baltimore also promoted former Pro Bowler Melvin Gordon III from the practice squad to the active roster, but he is not expected to be relevant for Fantasy purposes. SportsLine's model has Edwards rushing more than 11 times for 50-plus yards on Sunday, while Hill finishes with 8.2 carries for 30 yards in the latest simulations. Fantasy owners might want to wait one more week to commit to one of those running backs, as their full usage rate is unknown at this point.
