Stewart is listed with a knee injury, an ailment that the veteran has battled for weeks preceding Sunday's contest. Despite missing Wednesday's practice, Stewart got limited sessions in on Thursday and Friday, and there doesn't appear to be concern about him missing Week 3's game against the New Orleans Saints.
Fantasy impact: Finally amid a backfield that he can monopolize, Stewart hasn’t gotten off to an inspiring start this season. That said, even at less than 100 percent, he finds himself in a matchup that he could take advantage of.
Stewart remains in the RB2 conversation based on volume alone, and could face a favorable game script vs. a Saints team that will either start Luke McCown or a hobbled Drew Brees. It won't be likely that the Saints sustain many drives in either case, meaning Stewart could be in for extra snaps.
