Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Cameron (shoulder) is considered day-to-day and might not be able to play in the team's Week 2 game against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, according to a report by Tony Grossi. Cameron managed just a pair of catches for 47 yards in the team's 30-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1.
Jordan Cameron aggravates shoulder injury, fantasy status for Week 2 questionable

Fantasy Impact: With star wide receiver Josh Gordon suspended for the entire 2014 season, it was obvious going into Week 1 that Cameron was the team's top target on offense. He's big, athletic and somewhat proven given that he put together a breakout season last year.
His shoulder injury goes back to the preseason and is being called an aggravation of the AC joint. At this point, it’s unclear whether Cameron will be able to play through it this week. There’s a good chance he’ll be marked as questionable for most of the week.
If Cameron doesn't play against the Saints, Gary Barnidge would be the next in line to fill in at the tight end position. In 80 career games, Barnidge has just three touchdowns. With that in mind, wide receiver Andrew Hawkins is the player most likely to benefit from Cameron's possible absence this Sunday.
