Woody Marks RB | HOU
Texans' Woody Marks: Elevated role in Week 2
Marks rushed three times for 14 yards and caught his only target for 37 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Marks was bumped up the depth chart after veteran backup Dameon Pierce was made a healthy scratch ahead of Monday's kickoff. The 24-year-old Marks responded well by converting his four touches into 51 total yards backing up Nick Chubb (14-72-1 from scrimmage). Marks is unlikely to see his workload increase against the Jaguars on Sunday, but he is a name to keep an eye on if the 0-2 Texans continue to slide and decide to give the rookie an extended look later in the season.

Khalil Mack OLB | LAC
Chargers' Khalil Mack: Won't return Monday
Mack (elbow) has been ruled out from returning to Monday's matchup against Las Vegas.
Mack had to be carted to the locker room after hurting his elbow in the first half, and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the veteran defender appeared to be "in significant pain." Mack's specific diagnosis hasn't yet been announced, but he's not going to be able to re-enter the matchup. He recorded one tackle -- which was a solo sack -- prior to his exit.

Dalton Schultz TE | HOU
Texans' Dalton Schultz: Gains 29 yards on MNF
Schultz had three receptions (on four targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay.
Schultz turned in another mild fantasy score despite finishing second in targets for the Texans. The veteran starter provides predictability for those in deeper formats, but his lack of upside and scoring potential (two touchdowns over 17 starts in 2024) keep him from flourishing in fantasy circles. Schultz remains a low-end option heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Jamien Sherwood LB | NYJ
Jets' Jamien Sherwood: Secures 13 stops Sunday
Sherwood registered 13 tackles, including two for loss, in a Week 2 defeat against Buffalo on Sunday.
After posting six stops in Week 1, Sherwood more than doubled that amount against the Bills. The talented linebacker paced New York in tackles, with two of his stops coming in the backfield. Sherwood exploded for a career-high 158 tackles last year and is off to a strong start to the 2025 campaign.

Nick Chubb RB | HOU
Texans' Nick Chubb: Hits pay dirt Monday
Chubb carried the ball 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 29 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Chubb was having trouble finding running room for most of this contest before finally ripping off a 25-yard touchdown scamper late in the fourth quarter. The 29-year-old continued dominating Houston's backfield touches sans Joe Mixon (foot/ankle), with rookie Woody Marks' three carries checking in a distant second behind the veteran starter. Chubb is looking like a solid flex candidate Week 3 heading into a potential soft matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Justin Eboigbe DT | LAC
Chargers' Justin Eboigbe: Returns to game Monday
Eboigbe has returned to Monday's Week 2 contest against Las Vegas after previously exiting with an ankle injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Eboigbe temporarily departed in the first quarter after hurting his ankle, but he's since been able to re-enter the contest. He should thus be able to continue working in a rotational role along the Chargers' defensive line.

Luke Goedeke OT | TB
Buccaneers' Luke Goedeke: Spotted on crutches
Goedeke (foot) was on crutches in the locker room after Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Goedeke suffered a foot injury on the Buccaneers' first possession of the game, forcing him to miss the remainder of the contest. Charlie Heck replaced him at right tackle, and it's currently unclear what the severity of Goedeke's injury is.

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.
