Chris Ivory injury update

Jets RB Chris Ivory (groin) is ACTIVE for Monday night against the Colts. He's a risk for re-injury, but you're starting him anyway. Bilal Powell could get a few extra carries behind Ivory.

Will T.Y. Hilton play Week 2?

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton (knee) is ACTIVE for Monday night against the Jets. Hilton is a risky fantasy play, though, so only treat him as a WR3. He could draw the attention of Darrelle Revis, freeing up Andre Johnson and Donte Moncrief for more favorable matchups, including Antonio Cromartie (knee), who might not be 100 percent. It's great news for Andrew Luck and his fantasy owners. 

Alshon Jeffery ruled out for Week 2

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Alshon Jeffery (hamstring, calf) is out for Week 2 against the Cardinals. Eddie Royal and Marquess Wilson will have to step up for the Bears at receiver, however one of them will draw Cardinals corner Patrick Peterson. Martellus Bennett should see more targets at tight end, but it's going to be another busy day for Matt Forte. 

LeSean McCoy injury update

Rapoport also reports that LeSean McCoy (hamstring) will be active for Week 2 against the Patriots. We were never really concerned about Shady, but we do suggest stashing Bills rookie Karlos Williams as insurance until this hamstring issue goes away. 

Other Week 2 game-time decisions 

Mike Evans (hamstring), C.J. Spiller (knee) and Tre Mason (hamstring) are all ACTIVE for Week 2, but Todd Gurley is INACTIVE. Also, Delanie Walker (wrist) is INACTIVE against the Browns.
