- Vick Ballard is out for the season with a torn ACL, leaving Ahmad Bradshaw and Donald Brown as the Colts options at running back. John Clayton said on SportsCenter that the Colts were hoping to ease Bradshaw into the starting role, but now he'll have to take on the bulk of the carries with Ballard out. Tough loss for the Colts, as Ballard rushed for 63 yards in Week 1. The Colts obviously need to run the ball at some point, but Bradshaw probably isn't worth a start just yet. We'll see how many touches he gets this week, but for now it looks like this injury benefits Andrew Luck and the Colts receivers more than it does Bradshaw. Look for Luck to have a solid game against the Dolphins.
- Danny Amendola could miss up to six weeks with a groin injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Julian Edelman, who had 13 catches for 78 yards, is the only target Tom Brady trusts right now, meaning he's a guy you should be starting in your flex spot going forward. Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins, the Patriots rookie wide receivers, struggled to hold onto the football last night, but both are worth a pickup. Dobson caught a TD last night, and Thompkins nearly caught one as well.
- Nothing new on Jamaal Charles, who suffered a quadriceps injury against the Jags last week. His status may not be determined until Sunday morning, so make sure to keep an eye on that all weekend. Most expect Charles to play, but it's still worth keeping an eye on. If he's healthy, he's a must-start against the Cowboys.
- Jermichael Finley, who has a toe injury, is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Redskins. Finley looked to be on the same page as Aaron Rodgers last week, which is a good sign for his fantasy value going forward. You should have no concerns putting him into your lineup this week.
If anything else breaks, we'll let you know.
