Lopez (back) could still potentially suit up for North Carolina in Week 2, per On3.com.

Lopez left the Tar Heels' blowout Week 1 loss in the second half with a back injury, paving the way for Max Johnson to take the reins at quarterback. Still, UNC appears optimistic about Lopez's injury, as he's back on the practice field as of Wednesday. The question now becomes whether you want anything to do with Lopez from a fantasy standpoint after he finished the opener with a stat-line that read 4-of-10 passing, 69 yards and an interception.
