Terrel Bernard LB | BUF
Bills' Terrel Bernard: Records four tackles in Week 2
Bernard finished with four tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 30-10 win against the Jets.
No Buffalo defender recorded move than five stops in a game during which the Bills dominated time of possession by nearly 17 minutes. Bernard finished tied for the third on the team with his four stops, which was one more than he registered in the season opener against Baltimore. Bernard and Buffalo next face Miami in Week 3 on Thursday night.

Kendre Miller RB | NO
Saints' Kendre Miller: Logs five carries Week 2
Miller recorded five rushes for eight yards and hauled in his only target for two yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss versus San Francisco.
Miller logged five carries for the second week in a row, though he was much more inefficient compared to the season opener when he gained 48 yards on the ground. After back-to-back seasons marred by injuries, the 2023 third-round pick has been the clear No. 2 running back through the first two games this year. However, his fantasy value is still limited while operating behind RB1 Alvin Kamara, who tallied 11 carries in Week 1 and 21 carries in Week 2. Miller will hope for more opportunity this coming Sunday, Sept. 21 versus Seattle.

Mason Tipton WR | NO
Saints' Mason Tipton: Doesn't see the field Week 2
Tipton suited up but did not play during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.
The 2024 undrafted wideout served as New Orleans' fifth wideout once again, while 2023 sixth-round pick Trey Palmer was a healthy scratch for the second week in a row. Tipton also played zero offensive snaps in the regular-season opener, when he only saw the field for two snaps on special teams. The Saints traded for 2024 second-round pick Ja'Lynn Polk from the Patriots on Saturday, though he won't play for the team this season after undergoing shoulder surgery in August. Tipton likely won't have any opportunities as a pass catcher this season unless Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks or Devaughn Vele misses time with injury.

Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Elevated role in Week 2
Marks rushed three times for 14 yards and caught his only target for 37 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Marks was bumped up the depth chart after veteran backup Dameon Pierce was made a healthy scratch ahead of Monday's kickoff. The 24-year-old Marks responded well by converting his four touches into 51 total yards backing up Nick Chubb (14-72-1 from scrimmage). Marks is unlikely to see his workload increase against the Jaguars on Sunday, but he is a name to keep an eye on if the 0-2 Texans continue to slide and decide to give the rookie an extended look later in the season.

Khalil Mack OLB | LAC
Chargers' Khalil Mack: Won't return Monday
Mack (elbow) has been ruled out from returning to Monday's matchup against Las Vegas.
Mack had to be carted to the locker room after hurting his elbow in the first half, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the veteran defender appeared to be "in significant pain." Mack's specific diagnosis hasn't yet been announced, but he's not going to be able to re-enter the matchup. He recorded one tackle -- which was a solo sack -- prior to his exit.
-
Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Gains 29 yards on MNF
Schultz had three receptions (on four targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay.
Schultz turned in another mild fantasy score despite finishing second in targets for the Texans. The veteran starter provides predictability for those in deeper formats, but his lack of upside and scoring potential (two touchdowns over 17 starts in 2024) keep him from flourishing in fantasy circles. Schultz remains a low-end option heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Jamien Sherwood LB | NYJ
Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Secures 13 stops Sunday
Sherwood registered 13 tackles, including two for loss, in a Week 2 defeat against Buffalo on Sunday.
After posting six stops in Week 1, Sherwood more than doubled that amount against the Bills. The talented linebacker paced New York in tackles, with two of his stops coming in the backfield. Sherwood exploded for a career-high 158 tackles last year and is off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign.
-
Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Hits pay dirt Monday
Chubb carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 29 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Chubb was having trouble finding running room for most of this contest before finally ripping off a 25-yard touchdown scamper late in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old continued dominating Houston's backfield touches sans Joe Mixon (foot/ankle), with rookie Woody Marks' three carries checking in a distant second behind the veteran starter. Chubb is looking like a solid flex candidate Week 3 heading into a potential soft matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Justin Eboigbe DT | LAC
Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Returns to game Monday
Eboigbe has returned to Monday's Week 2 contest against Las Vegas after previously exiting with an ankle injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Eboigbe temporarily departed in the first quarter after hurting his ankle, but he's since been able to re-enter the contest. He should thus be able to continue working in a rotational role along the Chargers' defensive line.

Luke Goedeke OT | TB
Buccaneers' Luke Goedeke: Spotted on crutches
Goedeke (foot) was on crutches in the locker room after Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Goedeke suffered a foot injury on the Buccaneers' first possession of the game, forcing him to miss the remainder of the contest. Charlie Heck replaced him at right tackle, and it's currently unclear what the severity of Goedeke's injury is.
