Week 1 Injury Report and Waiver Radar
Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season kicked off with excitement but brought a wave of injuries. FullTime Fantasy delivers the latest injury updates and waiver wire targets for Week 2 fantasy football success.
Week 1 Injury Report
Drake London (WR – ATL)
Drake London suffered a potential AC-joint injury in the Falcons’ Week 1 loss. His Week 2 status is unclear, boosting Kyle Pitts and Ray Ray McCloud’s value if he’s out.
George Kittle (TE – SF)
Kittle exited with a hamstring injury. Ricky Pearsall and backup TEs Jake Tones and Luke Farrell could see more snaps, making them streaming options.
Jaylen Waddle (WR – MIA)
Waddle returned after discomfort, but his Week 2 status is uncertain. Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine are speculative adds in deeper leagues.
Jauan Jennings (WR – SF)
Jennings aggravated a shoulder injury, raising durability concerns. Ricky Pearsall gains a bigger role, offering fantasy upside.
Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)
Worthy’s dislocated shoulder will sideline him for weeks. Marquise Brown and Juju Smith-Schuster should see more targets.
Chris Olave (WR – NO)
Olave returned after a brief exit; no long-term concern. He should remain a WR1 barring setbacks.
Isaiah Likely (TE – BAL)
Likely missed Week 1 post-surgery but should return soon. Mark Andrews is the TE focus for now.
Brock Bowers (TE – LV)
Bowers had a knee scare but isn’t worried. Monitor him; Michael Mayer steps up if needed.
Evan Engram (TE – DEN)
Engram’s calf injury is concerning. Greg Dulcich and Lucas Krull are options, but expect limited impact.
Waiver Wire Radar
1. Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL) – Elevated targets with London’s injury; a must-add.
2. Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF) – Rising with Jennings and Kittle injuries; grab him now.
3. Marquise Brown (WR – KC) – Will step into WR1 role if Worthy misses multiple weeks.
4. Ray Ray McCloud (WR – ATL) – A sneaky depth piece for Atlanta if London sits.
5. Juju Smith-Schuster (WR – KC) – Benefits from Worthy’s absence in a Mahomes-led attack.
6. Malik Washington (WR – MIA) – Possible Waddle fill-in with athletic upside.
7. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (WR – MIA) – Depth add for deeper leagues if Waddle sits.
8. Greg Dulcich (TE – DEN) – Could see TE1 snaps if Engram misses extended time.
9. Michael Mayer (TE – LV) – Will be involved as TE1 if Bowers misses time.
