Rhamondre Stevenson will see more volume, but remains an RB2, given Seattle’s rush defense.Zach Charbonnet, RB, SEA: With Charbonnet on the PUP list, Jadarian Price will get a chance to lead the backfield; however George Holani could factor in, and the Seahawks have, according to Jake Ciely, “alluded to using more two-tight end sets.” Price is more Flex than RB2 in Week 1.Thursday nightGeorge Kittle, TE, SF: Kittle is tracking toward playing, according to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows and Vic Tafur. If he takes the field, Kittle could have his workload monitored, but he’s currently Ciely’s TE7.Sunday 1 p.m. Tank Dell, WR, HOU: With Dell on IR, new addition Kayshon Boutte could see more work. One thing’s for sure, Nico Collins should get all the looks he can handle and has top-five potential this week.Jonathon Brooks, Chuba Hubbard, RBs, CAR: Brooks’ and Hubbard’s values this week are dependent on the health of each. If both are healthy, Brooks gets the nod as a possible Flex. If Brooks sits, Hubbard moves into Flex territory.Rome Odunze, Luther Burden, WRs, CHI: Odunze has been described as “day-to-day,” which isn’t the best news. If he sits, Burden is squarely in WR2 territory and TE Colston Loveland, who could finish as a top-three TE in Week 1, gets a boost too.
