We recently reported on Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant exiting the Sunday Night Football game against the New York Giants this week with a broken foot. He'll be missing around four to six weeks due to surgery and recovery. Read more on this news here, including how to deal with this loss in your Fantasy Football league.
Other injuries reported include those of Andre Ellignton, DeSean Jackson, Frank Gore, Josh McCown and some defensive players, according to Fantasy Pros. Clearly, you have to monitor these players' progress heading into week two, but perhaps think about some backups if you have any of these stars.

If you happened to start Travis Kelce, Austin Seferian-Jenkins, or Tyler Eifert in the tight end spot, you had a surprising outcome from each! These surprises of week one scored two touchdowns and broke 100 receiving yards each! This was clearly a great week for TEs. Rookie quarterback Marcus Mariota threw a record-tying four touchdowns in his first NFL game, matching Fran Tarkenton. These are the only two rookies to do this in the history of the NFL according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
