Bowers’ Week 2 status looms large for fantasy managers after a knee issue kept him out of practice and left his Week 2 availability uncertain. Carroll’s upbeat outlook clashes with the active/inactive risk, so rosters should have a contingency plan. If Bowers is limited or inactive, pivot options include Will Dissly, Cade Otton, or Dalton Schultz, with Monday night implications and potential stash candidates to cover the TE void.
