Fantasy managers with Zay Flowers don't need to fret. His hamstring injury doesn't seem serious. Andy Lyons / Getty ImagesSept. 14, 2026 3:52 pm EDT Updated Well, opening week certainly left a mark on our fantasy rosters. Here’s a quick, bulleted rundown of key injury situations across the league:
The Athletic’s Sam Warren reports that Las Vegas’ Brock Bowers was “walking unaided” on Sunday, following the tight end’s meniscus cleanup — yet another sign the issue is only a short-term problem. Michael Mayer delivered a six-catch effort with Bowers out of the mix against Miami.
The Patriots’ TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) returned to practice on Monday, suggesting he might be back in business for the Steelers matchup on Sunday. It should be an all-hands-on-deck scenario for New England after their deflating loss in the season opener.
Baltimore’s Zay Flowers aggravated the hamstring issue that’s bothered him in recent weeks. He’s considered day-to-day according to Ian Rapoport, and likely would have played through his injury had it occurred in the postseason. Ja’Kobi Lane suffered a fractured wrist on Sunday, which will clearly lead to a multi-game absence. Rashod Bateman becomes a viable fantasy add this week.
