Badie rushed once for three yards and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.

Badie had a quiet game against Indianapolis, as he was targeted just two twice after seeing six targets in Week 1. The 25-year-old running back continued his role as the No. 3 back behind J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, playing just 13 of the Broncos' 58 offensive snaps. With Dobbins and Harvey handling most of the backfield duties for Denver, Badie should be ignored for fantasy purposes based on his limited usage. The Broncos are set to visit the Chargers in Week 3.

Beebe is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The 2024 third-round pick from Kansas State exited the Week 2 win in the fourth quarter and is now expected to be placed on injured reserve in the near future. With Beebe set to be sidelined for up to eight weeks, Brock Hoffman is likely to step in and start at center for the Cowboys.

Strange secured three of five targets for 17 yads during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cincinnati.

Strange again operated as Jacksonville's clear No. 1 tight end, playing 90 percent of offensive snaps, but it was wideouts Dyami Brown (5-57-1) and Parker Washington (5-76-0) who stepped up in the receiving game with both Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter held in check for a second straight week. Strange has drawn nine targets through two weeks, enough volume to put him on the radar as a back-end TE1 for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Texans.

Washington secured all five of his targets for 76 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.

Washington wasn't targeted in Week 1, but he led the Jaguars in receiving yards in a Week 2 loss that saw Brian Thomas turn 12 targets into just four catches for 49 yards, with rookie Travis Hunter limited to just three grabs for 22 yards on six targets. It was No. 3 man Dyami Brown who scored the only one of Trever Lawrence's three touchdowns to go to a wide receiver. Washington's production came on just a 24 percent snap share on offense, but his workload could increase after such a strong showing.

Brown secured five of seven targets for 57 yards and a touchdown during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Brown finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Parker Washington (5-76-0 on five targets), outproducing both Brian Thomas (4-49-0 on 12 targets) and Travis Hunter (3-22-0 on six targets). While Thomas and Hunter remain in the top two spots on the depth chart, Brown has racked up over 50 yards in back-to-back weeks as the Jaguars adapt to new head coach Liam Coen's offensive scheme, and the former Commander could be a useful option for fantasy teams in need of a fill-in due to injuries or bye weeks. Brown will look to stay productive in Week 3 against the Texans.

Allen rushed twice for 13 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.

Allen took a step back to fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten (eight carries for 42 yards, two catches for 32 yards and a score) in Week 2 after having handled more snaps than him Week 1. In the wake of Jacksonville trading Tank Bigsby, Tuten looks entrenched as the No. 2 man behind Travis Etienne, with Allen having lost out on the backup competition but still in line for opportunities for change-of-pace touches as the No. 3 man. The rookie seventh-round pick will work to keep making the most of his depth role Week 3 against the Texans.

Engram secured one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.

Engram returned from the calf injury he sustained in Week 1, but he played only 43 percent of offensive snaps and worked behind Adam Trautman (62 percent), who brought in all three of his targets for 10 yards and a score. It's possible Engram gets more involved in Week 3 against the Chargers as he improves his game fitness, but even before being injured in the opener he played just one snap, and the veteran chain-mover may not be as entrenched as the team's No. 1 tight end as expected, with Trautman offering superior blocking ability. Fantasy managers may want to wait until Engram proves he's earned a larger snap share before relying on him.

Conner was not targeted during Miami's 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Conner and Julian Hill were both held without a target Week 2, even with Darren Waller (hip) inactive a second straight game. While Waller appears to be trending in the wrong direction for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Bills, Conner and Hill remain off the fantasy radar outside of formats that require multiple starting tight ends. Even then, Hill has handled marginally more offensive snaps through two weeks and likely offers more upside in the red zone than Conner.

Hill was not targeted during the Dolphins' 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Hill drew another start at tight end with Darren Waller (hip) again sidelined, but neither he nor fellow reserve TE Tanner Conner were targeted versus New England. Though Hill caught a two-point conversion in Week 1, Tua Tagovailoa otherwise hasn't looked his way this season. The tight end position isn't likely to offer tangible fantasy value in Miami until such time as Waller is able to take the field, if then, but the veteran is expected to remain out for Thursday's game against the Bills.

Westbrook-Ikhine secured two of three targets for 18 yards during Miami's 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Westbrook-Ikhine played just 28 percent of offensive snaps, working further behind Malik Washington (65 percent) than he did in Week 1. Still, Westbrook-Ikhine drew one more target than his competition for the No. 3 wideout role, though Washington also handled three carries and scored a TD on a punt return. The Dolphins' passing game is in need of red-zone playmakers, and Westbrook-Ikhine could eventually step into that role after having scored a career-high nine touchdowns with the Titans last season, but he's currently off the fantasy radar heading into a difficult Thursday night matchup against Buffalo.
