Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes. We'll give you everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league.

I'm Bob Harris, and we're one game, tonight's Vikings Bears Tilt in Chicago, from having week one in the books. Of course, the bulk of the games are over. And in addition to the usual and unexpected opening week outcomes, we have some injury issues

0:22.3

to get on your radar. Starting in San Francisco, where 49ers tight end George Kittle exited

0:27.3

Sunday's opener against the Seahawks in the first half after suffering a hamstring injury.

0:31.6

He did not return. He was officially ruled out with about two minutes left in the first half.

0:36.0

Before the injury, Kittle, who missed two

0:37.6

games in 2024, weeks 3 and 11 with hamstring injuries, had four catches for 25 yards,

0:42.7

including a five-yard touchdown. Forty-niners went on to beat Seattle 1713 with Kittles backup

0:47.4

Jake Tonga's securing three catches, including the go-ahead four-yard score with a minute

0:52.2

and a half left. Jawan Jennings suffered a shoulder injury of the game. He did not return despite being designated as questionable to do so. Kittal and Jennings will both undergo MRIs today to check the severity of their injuries, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. If Kittal and Jennings can't go, Ricky Pearson McCaffrey would get the preponderance of targets this week

1:11.1

against the Saints. By the way, McCaffrey rushed 22 times for 69 yards and caught nine of his

1:16.8

10 targets for 73 yards in the win. Shanahan did his best to get McCaffrey the ball, despite the

1:22.6

questionable designation the running back carried into the game after suffering a calf injury

1:26.5

in Thursday's practice.

1:27.9

McCaffrey's 142 yards for scrimmage were evidence of that effort.

1:31.4

The veteran superstar had his 31st career game with 50-plus rushing and 50-plus receiving yards,

1:37.1

the second most such games in NFL history.

1:40.0

Hall of Famer Marshall Falk has 41.

1:42.0

No other player has 25 games with those numbers in their career. Even if the Niners go easy on him in practice this week, expect McCaffrey to play a major role in week two. Raiders tight end Brock Bowers wasn't around for the end of Sunday's 2013 went over the Patriots because of a knee injury, but he didn't sound too concerned about an extended absence. Bowers left to be checked out in the sideline medical tent in the second half and did not return,

2:03.9

but after the game, he said the knee feels fine, although he allowed the time will tell if there's

2:08.0

anything more to worry about. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards, so the Raiders would

2:12.7

obviously prefer he'd be available for their Monday night matchup with the Chargers in week two.
