Jones recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) in a 31-17 win against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Jones paced Seattle in stops while recording his first double-digit tackle total of the season. The veteran linebacker has six such performances during the regular season last year. Jones dealt with a shoulder injury early in the week but appeared fine Sunday, logging all 62 of the Seahawks' defensive snaps.

Evans secured five of 11 targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

Evans comfortably led the Buccaneers in targets and also set the pace in receiving yards, albeit by a smaller margin. The Texans did a good job overall disrupting the rhythm between Evans and Baker Mayfield, leading to Evans' second straight five-catch, sub-60-yard effort to open the season. The successful QB-WR duo will look to author their first breakout performance of 2025 when the Buccaneers host the Jets in a Week 3 matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Irving rushed 17 times for 71 yards and brought in all six targets for 50 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

Backfield mate Rachaad White actually took the first touch of the night for the Buccaneers, but Irving went on to gain 16 yards on his first two carries later in the opening possession. The Texans were able to clamp down on Irving more consistently as the game unfolded, but the versatile second-year back helped make up for some inefficiency with his work as a receiver. Irving particularly came up big on Tampa Bay's game-winning drive, recording four of his catches for a total of 39 yards. White would go on to punch in the game-winning score, but Irving still outpaced him by seven carries and four targets. The duo should continue in a timeshare that clearly tilts in Irving's favor during a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt and made two PATs in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans.

McLaughlin once again connected with the upright in Week 2, missing a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter. The kicker has now missed two field goals and one extra-point try over the first two games of the year, and he'll look to get back on track in the team's Week 3 matchup with the Jets on Sunday.

Fairbairn went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made one PAT in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Fairbairn made a 35-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 53-yard make in the fourth. The kicker has now opened the season having gone 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts, including three makes from 50-plus yards, over two games.

Granson pulled in his lone target for five yards in Sunday's victory over the Chiefs.

Granson was elevated from No. 3 to No. 2 tight end in the absence of Dallas Goedert (knee), which led to an increase in snaps for the former from Week 1's tally of 17 to 33. He still finished with just a single catch, though, so it would likely take injuries to both Goedert and Calcaterra (who also caught just one pass Sunday) for Granson to have a shot at fantasy relevance.

Phillips registered 11 tackles (eight solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, in Sunday's overtime loss to the Cowboys.

Phillips finished second on New York in stops behind Paulson Adebo (13). Phillips also accounted for the Giants' only interception in the contest with he picked off Dak Prescott on a pass intended for CeeDee Lamb on the second play of the third quarter. The interception was the second of Phillips' career.

Calcaterra served as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end Sunday against the Chiefs due to Dallas Goedert's knee injury but finished with just one catch for six yards.

Calcaterra outsnapped fellow tight end Kyle Granson 53-34, leaving little doubt that he remains Goedert's top deputy. Goedert has missed an average of five games per season since 2022, so that role should continue to lead to a handful of starts for Calcaterra, but those starts won't necessarily lead to many targets. He was targeted just twice in Week 2.

Murray recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cincinnati.

Murray jumped in front of a pass by Jake Browning in the second quarter, snatching his first interception of the year. The safety has been rather productive through two weeks, compiling 14 total tackles (nine solo) while also adding three passes defensed, including Sunday's interception.

Lloyd recorded five total tackles (two solo) while also adding an interception in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Bengals.

Lloyd was able to pick off quarterback Jake Browning in the fourth quarter, securing his first interception of the 2025 campaign. Through two contests this season, the linebacker has now registered nine total tackles (two solo) and an interception.
