With just 7.9 fantasy points in an upset loss to the Raiders, Justin Herbert finished outside of the top 20 QBs for a second consecutive week. The Chargers QB completed 15 of his 27 pass attempts for just 192 yards while throwing a TD and two INTs.
Omarion Hampton produced 16.5 PPR points, leading all Chargers in a loss to the Raiders where the offense totaled just two scores. Hampton handled 23 carries for 94 yards and a TD while adding 2 receptions on both of his targets for 21 more yards.
The Steelers mustered only three points against the New England Patriots in Week 2. QB Aaron Rodgers only completed 59% of his passes for 187 yards. The two starting RBs (Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle) combined to rush 18 times for 65 yards, 3.61 yards per carry. WR D.K. Metcalf had his second straight week with a dropped pass. It’s possible the offense just won’t carry much fantasy value going forward.
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson made his season debut against the Steelers in Week 2 after missing Week 1 against the Seahawks due to an ankle injury. The team’s Wednesday game last week gave him a few extra days to recover. Henderson proved effective, rushing 16 times for 76 yards and a TD. That TD came on an explosive 39-yard run that showcased Henderson’s deep speed.
The Saints upset the Ravens in Week 2, but the RB split makes Travis Etienne a fantasy concern going forward. Alvin Kamara returned to the lineup after missing Week 1, and Kendre Miller was inactive. That didn’t seem to help Etienne, who had 8 rushes for 25 yards. Kamara had 9 carries for 15 yards and was most active in the passing game, catching 5 of 6 targets for 7 yards, while Etienne caught both his targets for 6 yards. It appears Etienne is set to split time no matter which other RBs are active.
Ravens WR Rashod Bateman stepped up with Zay Flowers out with a hamstring injury, catching 7 of 9 targets for 88 yards and a TD. Bateman did his damage as a deep threat, scoring on a 22-yard catch. The Ravens did lose the game, but Bateman showed he can perform when given the opportunity.
Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten led the team in touches rushing 13 times for 65 yards and a TD. He also caught both of his targets for -3 yards. Chris Rodriguez handled short yardage duties, but only ran the ball 6 times for 13 yards. Ameer Abdullah also had 3 rushes for 11 yards, and a catch for 2 yards. Tuten once again looked like the best RB on the team with his explosiveness off the snap and ability to break a long play (he had a 16-yard outside scamper).
Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle caught 8 of 10 targets for 138 yards in the Broncos win against the Jaguars. That came off the heels of Waddle’s disappointing Week 1 performance catching 1 of 3 targets for 2 yards. The Broncos got Waddle involved early and often in the game plan, with scripted passes to him allowing Waddle to pick up yards after the catch. He appears back on the track of being an every-week starter.
Ladd McConkey began Sunday questionable to play with a rib injury before being listed active shortly before gametime. The Chargers WR finished with just 3 receptions for 35 yards in a 6.5 PPR point game in the team’s loss to the Raiders.
Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving easily led the backfield in playing time and opportunities in Sunday's loss to the Browns. Irving played more than double Gainwell's snap share, which marked a stark contrast vs. Week 1.
Browns RB Quinshon Judkins endured a second straight terrible rushing day in the Week 2 win over the Bucs, taking his 12 carries for just 21 yards (1.8 per attempt). That followed a 12-33 rushing line in Week 1 (2.8 per rush) and marked the second straight game in which he trailed QB Deshaun Watson in rushing yardage. Judkins helped his PPR line by catching all five of his targets for 27 yards, marking just the second time in his young career that Judkins reached 5 catches in a game.
After a 28.9 PPR point Week 1 outburst, David Montgomery got out-carried by Woody Marks in a Week 2 loss to the Bengals. Montgomery produced just 10 yards with 6 carries and added 14 yards on two receptions for just 4.4 PPR points.
Browns WR Denzel Boston drew 7 targets in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers and finished with 5 catches for 95 yards and a TD. Most of his production came via a 55-yard TD late in the third quarter. Even that play sprang from a short target.
Rookie WR KC Concepcion led the Browns with 6 catches in Sunday's win over the Buccaneers, his second straight game as the reception leader to open the season. But Concepcion manaed just 28 yards for a 4.7-yard receiving average. That put him third on the team in receiving yards, trailing WR Denzel Boston (95) and TE Harold Fannin Jr. (54). Concepcion also led RB Quinshon Judkins by just 1 receiving yard (on one more reception).
Browns QB Deshaun Watson completed 24 of 30 passes (80%) for 238 yards, 2 TDs, and 0 INTs in Sunday's surprising 23-19 victory over the Buccaneers. His 121.9 passer rating tied for 14th-highest among 74 career regular-season appearances and ranked third among his Browns outings.
In a week where the Texans were down WR Nico Collins, it was Dalton Schultz that stepped up for this offense. The veteran TE led the team in receiving, catching 12 of his 14 targets for 140 yards and 26.0 PPR points.
In a game where Ja’Marr Chase put up 26.5 PPR points, it was Tee Higgins who led the Bengals in targets and yards. Higgins finished just shy of his first 100-yard game since Week 9 of last season after catching five of his 10 targets for 95 yards in a 14.5 PPR point Week 2 performance.
Colts WR Alec Pierce left in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs with an injury to his left heel. The team has deemed him questionable to return.
Update: The team downgraded Pierce to out before the start of the second half.
Ja’Marr Chase caught multiple touchdowns of at least 15 yards in a Bengals win where he produced 26.5 PPR points. The star WR hauled in seven of his 9 targets for 75 yards while adding two TD receptions to hold the WR5 ranking for Week 2 pending Sunday and Monday Night Football.
Commanders QB Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, HC Dan Quinn said afterward. X-rays on the elbow came back clean. This is the same injury that Daniels suffered in Week 9 last year. He missed the next 4 weeks (3 games plus a bye) before returning in Week 14, re-injuring the elbow, and missing the final 4 games of the season. We'll look for a timeline for Daniels' return this time around, but expect him to miss multiple games. That'll leave the starting job to QB Marcus Mariota, who threw for 111 yards and a score in the second half vs. Dallas today. Across 5 full games last season, Mariota averaged 17.9 fantasy points, which would have ranked 14th over the course of the season. He'll be a fringe QB1 option for as long as Daniels is out.
