Sampson rushed four times for six yards and brought in all three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Sampson had led the Browns' ground attack with 12 carries and had garnered 20 total touches in Week 1, but the debut of fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins in Sunday's loss altered the backfield hierarchy. Judkins ultimately recorded a game-high 10 rush attempts, but Sampson still found a way to make an impact by recording an eight-yard touchdown reception from another member of the team's 2025 draft class, Dillon Gabriel. With Judkins' workload a virtual lock to go up from this point forward, Sampson will likely be looking to displace veteran Jerome Ford for the No. 2 role.

Collier (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Arizona's matchup versus the Panthers on Sunday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Collier picked up the injury in the first quarter of the game, and it's severity is currently unknown. PJ Mustipher will likely see increased playing time at defensive tackle in Collier's absence.

Melton (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

Melton was carted to the locker room with a knee injury in the first half, and his day has now officially come to a premature end. The cornerback compiled two solo tackles before his departure, and in his place, Denzel Burke will likely continue to see an increase in workload in Arizona's secondary.

Higgins recorded three catches on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

Higgins bounced back from a poor Week 1 performance, thanks primarily to a long 42-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. That pass was delivered by Jake Browning after Joe Burrow departed with a toe injury, and it was Higgins' only catch on five targets that he was able to haul in from Browning. If Burrow is set to miss additional time, Higgins could become a boom or bust fantasy option with Ja'Marr Chase continuing to dominate targets in the Cincinnati offense.

Judkins rushed 10 times for 61 yards and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Although Judkins was reportedly ticketed for a modest role in his delayed NFL debut, the rookie ended up leading the Browns in rush attempts and rushing yards on the afternoon. Just over half of Judkins' rushing production came on a 31-yard run, but considering the quality of the defense he was facing and the fact he missed all of training camp and preseason, his performance can't be labeled as anything but encouraging. With Judkins displaying the conditioning to handle double-digit touches right out of the gate, it's possible he paces the ground attack again in a Week 3 home matchup against the Packers next Sunday.

Shaheed caught four of five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of Spencer Rattler's second of three TD passes on the day, a three-yard strike in the third quarter. Shaheed has had a respectable start to the season in new head coach Kellen Moore's scheme, posting a 10-85-1 line on 14 targets through two games as the WR2 behind Chris Olave. Shaheed will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Seahawks.

Olave caught six of 10 targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

The fourth-year wideout led the Saints in volume once again while seeing double-digit targets from Spencer Rattler for the second straight game. Olave is still looking for his first TD, and his first breakout performance, of 2025, but his usage in new head coach Kellen Moore's scheme suggests both will come in due time. Olave will take on a Seahawks secondary in Week 3 that has been stingy so far against WRs, but which did give up a TD to DK Metcalf in Week 2.

Williams rushed the ball 17 times for 66 yards in Sunday's 33-19 win over the Titans. He added two receptions on two targets for 13 yards.

Williams dominated touches out of the Rams' backfield for the most of the game, but he was inefficient once again. He delivered 12- and 15-yard rushes late in the fourth quarter to salvage his day, but that came one drive after he ceded a possession to Blake Corum that concluded with Corum in the end zone. Corum's opportunity was likely due to the Rams being up two scores midway through the fourth quarter, but Williams' usage in the red zone will remain worth monitoring.

Kamara carried the ball 21 times for 99 yards and caught all six of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

After needing a touchdown to salvage his Week 1 performance, Kamara topped 100 scrimmage yards for the first time in 2025 in Week 2. The veteran RB needed volume to get there though, as his longest run went for only 15 yards. Kamara remains the centerpiece of the Saints' offense under new head coach Kellen Moore, and he could have a big day through the air in Week 3 against a Seahawks defense that has given up 159 combined receiving yards to the Steelers' Jaylen Warren and the 49ers' Christian McCaffrey to begin the season.

Rattler completed 25 of 34 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers. He added 14 rushing yards on four carries.

The second-year quarterback kept the Saints in the game with TD tosses Juwan Johnson in the second quarter, Rashid Shaheed in the third and Devaughn Vele in the fourth, but Rattler's attempt at a game-winning drive in the final three minutes stalled out around midfield. The three scores were a career high for the QB, who tossed only four in seven games as a rookie. Perhaps more impressive is the fact he's gone two straight starts without committing a turnover to begin 2025. Rattler will try to get his team into the win column in Week 3 against the Seahawks.
