Two Minute Warning - Week 2 By Steve Schwarz, Fantasy Sports Editor Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - There are just a few minutes left before the games begin and this is your last chance to set fantasy lineups. Here are the latest updates on injured players. Week 2 and the injury list to key fantasy players is already getting long. Topping the roll call is No.2 overall pick Arian Foster, but just as important are Hakeem Nicks, Sam Bradford, Steven Jackson and Calvin Johnson. Here is the latest information as we approach game-time. Quarterbacks The Rams' Sam Bradford is probable with a hand injury and is a safe bet to start against the New York Giants weak secondary. Running Backs The most important fantasy question in Week 2 is what to do with Foster? He'll play, but is expected to be limited to 15-20 touches. Ben Tate looked very good last week and will likely get more action than Foster owners would like. Jackson is still listed as questionable, but its more doubtful as he missed another practice. Cadillac Williams should get the majority of the touches this week and be a viable option. LaRod Stephens-Howling's injured hand should turn Chris "Beanie" Wells into a must start. Who else could possibly carry the ball for Arizona...Chester Taylor? Wide Receivers Fear not Johnson owners, "Megatron" will play on Sunday despite his questionable listing. LATEST UPDATE - Its official, Johnson is active. Santonio Holmes, the No.1 option for the Jets, will be active in Week 2. Buffalo's No.1 receiving option, Steve Johnson is active despite a groin injury. Danny Amendola is out according to his coach despite the doubtful listing and rookie Greg Salas will get the start in the slot. He might be a surprising value in the role. Nicks keeps insisting he'll play on Monday night, but its a big gamble to leave him in there and possibly get zero points if he doesn't play if you have no replacement options. Dez Bryant is unlikely to start after not practicing this week, but you won't know for sure until after the one o'clock games have started. Unless you have another late-game starter at wideout, you should start your other early-game starter. Steelers wideout Jerricho Cotchery inactive. Darrius Heyward-Bey, Louis Murphy and Jacoby Ford are inactive for Oakland. That's good news for Denarius Moore and Chaz Schilens who should be the two starting wideouts. Roy Williams of the Bears is inactive, but hopefully you were never considering starting him anyway. Sidney Rice is inactive again. Tight Ends Marcedes Lewis will not play this week. Without David Garrard at quarterback, he wasn't the value most experts thought he would be on Draft Day. His replacement, Zach Miller, is not a viable option. Jermichael Finley, who has been dealing with an ankle injury, is active. Washington tight end Chris Cooley is active, but is expected to split time with Fred Davis. Kickers Sebastien Janikowski, who tied the record for longest field goal last week (63 yards), is expected to play despite his off-the-field problems. Hopefully you heard by now that Nate Kaeding is done for the season and picked up a replacement. Nick Novak will be the kicker in San Diego and is a viable option. 09/18 12:11:11 ET
