Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (calf) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Tennessee Titans. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, Engram had caught three passes for 21 yards in his Broncos debut. This is a significant loss for Denver as Engram is the first alpha tight end they've had in quite some time. As a result, Engram's injury has a negative effect on the fantasy value of Bo Nix, though it could lead to more targets for someone like Courtland Sutton. Expect Adam Trautman to operate as the Broncos' No. 1 tight end until Engram can return to action.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is viewed as week-to-week. Schefter noted on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday afternoon that the injury does not appear to be overly serious, but he is expected to miss some time. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but should not plan on him suiting up in Week 2. Worthy suffered an injury on the team's opening drive during their loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Friday evening. Once he left the contest, Marquise Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster emerged as the team's top wide receivers. With Rahsee Rice away on a suspension, fantasy managers should expect Brown and Smith-Schuster to continue to operate as the team's primary pass catchers for the foreseeable future.
