Waller (hip) is unlikely to play Thursday against the Bills, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Waller has yet to suit up for the Dolphins and didn't practice in any capacity ahead of Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots, so it's hardly surprising that he isn't expected to be available on a short week for Thursday's trip to Buffalo. Tanner Conner had two catches against the Colts in Week 1, but the Dolphins didn't get a reception from a tight end in Waller's absence Week 2.

Nix completed 22 of 30 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. He added three rushes for 20 yards.

Nix and the Broncos' offense began the game in exceptional form, as he threw for three touchdowns on the team's first four offensive possessions. His most impressive was a 23-yard dart to the back corner of the end zone to Marvin Mims, and Nix also connected with Troy Franklin for a 42-yard gain early in the second quarter. Things changed in the second half, however, as his explosive plays were eliminated, and he also threw a key interception early in the fourth quarter to aid the Colts' comeback efforts. Nix's fantasy performance was solid, but he now has three interceptions and a fumble lost in the first two games of the new campaign.

Warren recorded four receptions on seven targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 29-28 win over the Broncos. He also logged one carry for zero yards.

Warren finished second on the team in targets behind Josh Downs, but he flashed strong playmaking ability to lead the team in yards. Warren began his performance with a 41-yard reception on the Colts' second possession and followed that up with additional explosive gains of 14 and 15 yards. He has immediately taken over as the team's top pass catcher, recording a combined 11 receptions for 155 yards in his first two games as a pro.

Smith corralled four of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.

Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver in a game during which his team threw for just 101 yards. It was a marked improvement from the veteran starter following last Thursday's three-catch, 16-yard stinker in a win over the Cowboys. Expect Smith and the entire Philadelphia passing attack to be more involved next Sunday lining up opposite the Rams' high-powered passing attack.

Ryland went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made three PATs in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

Ryland finished off Arizona's first offensive possession of the game with a 29-yard field goal, and he later added a 47-yard make in the second quarter. Through two weeks in 2025, the kicker has made four out of five field-goal tries, including a 50-yarder, while also adding five PATs.

Patterson went 2-for-2 on field-goal tries and made three PATs in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots.

Patterson was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row while Jason Sanders (hip) remained sidelined. Patterson made a 40-yard field goal to finish off Miami's first possession of the second half. He later added a 44-yard make on the team's next drive. If Sanders (hip) can't go in Week 3, Patterson will likely be elevated again for the team's matchup with the Bills on Thursday Night Football.

Sutton recorded one reception on four targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.

Bo Nix spread targets among the Denver pass catchers very evenly, with nine players targeted at least twice in the contest. While that was one factor in limiting Sutton's involvement, Troy Franklin also commanded nine targets to lead the team. It seems unlikely that Franklin will truly challenge Sutton for opportunities moving forward, but this was nevertheless a concerning performance for the latter.

Harrison had two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

Harrison's production crashed in Week 2 following last week's team-high receiving line of 5-71-1 against the Saints. The 23-year-old took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (6-78-0) while fellow wideout Michael Wilson caught QB Kyler Murray's lone touchdown pass Sunday. Harrison experienced his fair share of ups-and-downs over his rookie campaign in 2024, and we may not see much consistency from him as a sophomore based on this two-game sample size. Fantasy managers will be hoping for one of Harrison's "up" games in road tilt against San Francisco next Sunday.

Murphy (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Falcons.

Murphy appears to have picked up an apparent knee injury, which will bring his night to a premature end. The linebacker failed to record any stats in the contest prior to his departure.

Gano went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made three PATs in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

Gano finished off the Giants' opening drive of the game with a 38-yard field goal, before later adding another 33-yard make in the first quarter. The kicker would later add another 33-yard field goal in the third quarter. Gano has now made all five of his field-goal tries, and three PATs over the first two games of the season.
