Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone.

Thank you so much for hanging out with us today.

Had the season opener last night, which was decided by a toe, specifically, Isaiah likely's toe, which was barely on the line in the back of the end zone, but that prevented the thrilling comeback from the Ravens. And don't worry, we're to talk more about Likeley's big game, all the other notable takeaways. We'll go over that stuff early next week when we run down the waiver wire pickups and we go over some of the things that we learn from the first batch of games. For now, we're still focused on getting you ready for week one. Got a game tonight in Brazil between the Eagles and the Packers. Then we got the full slate on Sunday and there's already lots of injuries we've got to talk about here. It's going to complicate some of your lineup decisions some of them just getting announced right

before we started recording here so for anybody new to the show this year I'm going to run

through all the important injuries today gonna talk about them from a fantasy

perspective and for some of them we're not really sure whether the guy is gonna

play and we might not find that out until Sunday so So I'll give you my expectations. I'm also going to touch on what it could mean if the opposite happens in certain scenarios, just to kind of cover all our bases. So let's dive in here. Tends to be a longer show most weeks, and at the beginning of the season, it shouldn't be. And yet this year, we still have a pretty long one ahead of us here.

So let's kick it off with quarterbacks and Russell Wilson, the first name on the list.

He was dealing with that calf injury in the preseason.

Then he seemed to be healthy.

Mike Tomlin officially named him as the starter over Justin Fields.

But this week, Wilson pops back up on the injury report with the CAF issue on Thursday.

He was listed as limited in that practice. And the reporting around it did not seem very hopeful.

And then today, he was not out there at all. Fields was the one throwing. Wilson was watching

from the sidelines. And the reporting around this does not seem very hopeful.

Ian Rappapora NFL network, he pointed out that the Steelers training staff tends to be

very cautious with these kind of injuries.

He said that it's up in the air whether Wilson's going to play and that he wouldn't be

surprised if the Steelers, quote, get Wilson off his feet this week and beyond.

So maybe that's rap sheet speculating.

Maybe he's getting that vibe from people he's talking to around the team.
