Brown recorded 16 rushes for 47 yards in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars. He added two receptions on three targets for 18 yards.

Brown was the only Bengals running back to record a carry for the second straight game to begin the season. However, he was also extremely inefficient once again, averaging only 2.9 yards per attempt with a long of just 11 yards. This performance was a bit more justifiable, as Jake Browning entered the game halfway through the second quarter after Joe Burrow (toe) was sidelined, allowing the Jaguars to focus on short areas of the field defensively. The Bengals don't have strong alternatives to Brown for carries, but he now has only 90 rushing yards on 37 attempts across the first two games of the campaign.

Jennings caught five of 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 win over New Orleans.

The veteran wideout had a little trouble getting on the same page with new quarterback Mac Jones early in the contest, but the duo connected on a 42-yard TD in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winning score. Jennings' final line, and the performance of the 49ers' offense in general without Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) under center, was very encouraging, and he'll look to keep rolling in a Week 3 clash with the Cardinals.

St. Brown brought in nine of 11 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns while adding two rushes for seven yards in the Lions' 52-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.

St. Brown comfortably led the Lions in receptions and targets while edging Jameson Williams for the top spot in receiving yards as well. While his speedy teammate got that runner-up spot largely via a 64-yard chunk play, St. Brown chipped away at the Bears secondary throughout the afternoon with short and medium gains, including touchdown grabs of four, eight and four yards. The two-time All-Pro's breakout performance was a welcome departure from his modest 4-45-0 receiving line Week 1 against Green Bay, and St. Brown's contributions figure to be critical again when the Lions tackle the unenviable task of a road trip to Baltimore for a Week 3 Monday night showdown with the Ravens on Sept. 22.

Surtain is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts due to an ankle injury, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.

Surtain picked up the injury in the second quarter, but he was spotted running up and down the Broncos' sideline and could return before the end of the half, per Gabriel. Kris Abrams-Draine would be in line to see more snaps at outside corner if Surtain is unable to join the defense on the Broncos' next defensive series.

Gibbs rushed 12 times for 94 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Lions' 52-21 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Although Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown mostly stole the show in Detroit's jaw-dropping offensive breakout, Gibbs rather quietly put together a fruitful fantasy performance. The dynamic back outpaced David Montgomery by one carry and 37 rushing yards, with Gibbs' game-long 42-yard scamper the big difference between the two backfield mates. Gibbs also recorded his first rushing touchdown of the season on a six-yard run in the first quarter, which served to round out his production on a day where he was limited to a mid-level workload. Gibbs will look to navigate a particularly challenging matchup when the Lions travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in a Week 3 Monday night showdown on Sept. 22.

Danna (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Danna suffered a hip injury in the first quarter, and the injury is severe enough for him to not return to Sunday's contest. Charles Omenihu and rookie third-rounder Ashton Gillotte should see an uptick in defensive snaps the rest of the way in Danna's absence.

Jones completed 26 of 39 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints. He added six rushing yards on six carries.

The three passing TDs tied the former Patriot's career high, as Jones connected with Luke Farrell in the first quarter, Christian McCaffrey in the second and Jauan Jennings in the fourth. With Brock Purdy (toe/shoulder) expected to miss multiple games, Jones could get a chance to grow comfortable at the helm of the 49ers' offense, although he'll be without the services of George Kittle (hamstring) and Brandon Aiyuk (knee). Assuming Purdy doesn't make a rapid recovery, Jones will look to carry his momentum into a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

Fulton (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Fulton was tagged as doubtful to return after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter, and the 2020 second-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Nohl Williams will work in rotation with starters Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie due to Fulton's injury.

Henry rushed 11 times for 23 yards and wasn't targeted during the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Baltimore.

The offense ran through Lamar Jackson and his pass catchers Sunday, as the star signal-caller finished with four touchdown passes and turned in a turnover-free performance. In contrast, Henry was consistently bottled up, and considering eight of his yards came on one carry, he truly found next to no running room throughout the afternoon. After a spectacular first three-plus quarters of the new season, Henry's fortunes have taken a turn for the worse beginning with his critical fumble in the final quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Bills. His next opportunity to reverse course will come in a Week 3 home interconference clash against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.

Chase recorded 14 receptions on 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

Chase struggled in Week 1 against the Browns along with the rest of the Bengals' offense. However, he bounced back in a big way in Week 2, doubling up Tee Higgins in targets while accounting for over half of the team's yards through the air. His touchdown came from four yards away early in the first quarter, and he then tacked on receptions of 25, 16, 14 and 13 yards. Even more impressive was that the majority of Chase's production came with Jake Browning under center after Joe Burrow departed in the second quarter with an apparent toe injury. If Burrow is sidelined for an extended period, Chase's production would likely dip, but his talent and role will keep him locked in as a top option at wide receiver.
