9:27 a.m.: As expected, Kerwynn Williams will assume the Arizona Cardinals’ lead back duties in the absence of David Johnson.
Fantasy alert 🚨🚨: #AZCardinals will start Kerwynn Williams, and Chris Johnson will back him up. They’ll use Andre Ellington on third downs.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 17, 2017
9:25 a.m.: Sam Bradford should play Sunday, but that certainly doesn’t mean he’s 100 percent, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport.
"His MRI is hard to read because he has so much scar tissue but they believe his ACL is stil intact." @RapSheet on Bradford.
Sheesh.

9 a.m.: Good news, fantasy owners: Jordan Howard, Sam Bradford and Jarvis Landry all are expected to play, according to various reports.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) September 17, 2017
These injuries (especially Howard’s) still are worth monitoring, but that’s a good early sign.
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams also should be good to go, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
