The 2022 NFL season is underway and the first Sunday of the year is upon us. We have all worked extremely hard during the offseason to get to this point and it’s finally here.

As the games kickoff across the country, many of you are also kicking off your season. Fantasy football teams have been drafted and it’s time to tinker with your lineup. Who will you start at FLEX? Is your starting running back going to play? Should you take a risk and play a receiver who is dealing with injury over a healthy backup?
There are a lot of questions that you have to answer this morning before kickoff rolls around at 1:00pm ET. We are here to help you make some of those decisions and let you know — to the best of our knowledge — who is playing and who is not.
