Fantasy Impact: As far as reports go at this point, there isn't an MRI scheduled for the young quarterback. Locker did not have a huge day for fantasy owners, but his 89.2 quarterback rating was a positive start. If he is unable to go, though, in Week 2, Matt Hasselbeck will get the nod at quarterback.

If you're planning on starting Locker this weekend, you need to continue to monitor his status closely throughout the week.
