Khalil Mack OLB | LAC
Chargers' Khalil Mack: Exits early Monday
Mack (elbow) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Raiders.
Mack suffered an elbow injury while attempting to make a tackle in the first half, ultimately taking a cart to the locker room for imaging on his arm. The linebacker seems unlikely to be able to return to action against Las Vegas, and in his absence, Bud Dupree stands to see an increase in workload.

C.J. Stroud QB | HOU
Texans' C.J. Stroud: Slight improvement in MNF loss
Stroud completed 13 of 24 pass attempts for 207 yards and a touchdown while rushing four times for 27 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay.
Stroud didn't waste much time scoring the Texans' first touchdown of the season after failing to get his team into the end zone against the Rams in Week 1. The 24-year-old dialed up WR Nico Collins for a 27-yard score on Houston's opening drive, but that would end up being his only touchdown of the contest. Stroud failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity on the opponent's one-yard line early in the fourth quarter when he missed on two consecutive throws to turn the ball over on downs. With marginal yardage totals (197.5 passing yards per game) and just one touchdown to one interception through two starts, Stroud has played his way out of starting consideration in standard 1QB formats ahead of Sunday's tilt against Jacksonville.

Justin Eboigbe DT | LAC
Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Questionable to return Monday
Eboigbe (ankle) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Eboigbe suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter, placing some doubt on his chances to return to action. The defensive lineman operates as a depth option, so his absence doesn't carry a major impact on defense for Los Angeles.

Byron Murphy II DT | SEA
Seahawks' Byron Murphy: Rankles Rodgers in Week 2
Murphy registered five tackles (two solo), including 1.5 sacks, against Pittsburgh in a 31-17 victory Sunday.
Murphy and Leonard Williams came together to bring down Aaron Rodgers on the final play of the first half, and Murphy later sacked Rodgers on his own with 3:41 remaining in the contest. Murphy had just a half-sack over 14 regular-season games last year, so he's already exceeded that through two weeks in the current campaign.

Rachaad White RB | WAS
Buccaneers' Rachaad White: Scores game-winning TD
White rushed 10 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for one yard in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night. He also recovered a Baker Mayfield fumble.
White logged seven fewer carries than backfield mate Bucky Irving, but the former finished with only six fewer rushing yards. Additionally, White was the only one of the two backs to cross the goal line, powering in off right guard with six seconds remaining for the game-winning touchdown. White is still a clear complementary option to Irvin, but after taking only two carries in the Week 1 win over the Falcons, his workload boost Monday night was encouraging for fantasy managers. White next takes aim at a Jets defense Week 3 that just allowed 132 yards on 21 carries to the Bills' James Cook on Sunday.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Scores first TD of 2025
Collins had three receptions (on nine targets) for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud wasted no time finding his favorite target in the end zone Monday when he floated a rainbow in to Collins on the Texans' first possession of the game. The athletic receiver made a near-impossible grab where he managed to keep both of his feet in bounds for a millisecond before the momentum of the pass carried him out of the end zone. It wasn't all roses for Collins, as he finished the contest with an abysmal 33 percent catch rate on a team-high nine targets. The end result was still a significant improvement over the star wideout's Week 1 stinker. Collins' next opportunity to put up the consistent WR1 numbers managers have become accustomed to from him will be in a road matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Julian Love SAF | SEA
Seahawks' Julian Love: Quiet in Week 2
Love logged two tackles (one solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 31-17 win against the Steelers.
Love was very productive in Week 1 with 10 tackles, but he had a more quiet effort Sunday. Nonetheless, the veteran safety did notch his first defensed pass of the season. Love and the Seahawks will face New Orleans in Week 3.

Emeka Egbuka WR | TB
Buccaneers' Emeka Egbuka: Another TD in MNF win
Egbuka brought in four of seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.
The rookie first-round pick had a relatively quiet latter portion of the game, but not before making his mark with what was already his third trip to the end zone through two NFL games. Egbuka scored on a nifty 15-yard catch and run in the second quarter, a play that accounted for more than half of his receiving yardage on the night. The Texans, like the Falcons in Week 1, generally did a good job keeping plays in front of them, but Egbuka could benefit from the heavy attention Sauce Gardner is likely to bestow on Mike Evans in a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Calijah Kancey DT | TB
Buccaneers' Calijah Kancey: Set to undergo additional imaging
Kancey (pectoral) will undergo additional imaging in Tampa on Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Kancey suffered a pectoral injury in the first half of Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, ultimately not returning to the contest. The defensive lineman was spotted in a sling, and he's expected to be subject to diagnostic imaging upon his return to Florida in order to identify the severity of his injury.

Baker Mayfield QB | TB
Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield: More late-game heroics Monday night
Mayfield completed 25 of 38 passes for 215 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding three carries for 33 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.
Mayfield was in danger of a second straight sub-200-yard performance to open the season, but the veteran signal-caller came alive on Tampa Bay's game-winning drive. He took the Bucs a total of 80 yards on 11 plays in just over two minutes, completing seven of nine passes while adding a 15-yard scramble before Rachaad White capped off the march with a two-yard touchdown run. In the second quarter, Mayfield also connected with Emeka Egbuka on a 15-yard scoring pass for the rookie's third touchdown over the first two games. Despite completing just 60.0 percent of his passes through the first pair of contests, Mayfield also will take a sparkling 5:0 TD:INT into a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.
