Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 24-17 win over Baltimore.

Carlson rebounded well after missing a potential game-winning 62-yard kick wide right to end regulation in the team's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1. The kicker nailed a chip-shot 23-yard field goal in the second quarter before converting a 47-yard try as time expired in the first half. He later added a season-long 51-yard field goal make to cap off the team's first possession of the third quarter. Carlson beat out Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth for the Saints' starting kicker job last month, and he now has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries over two contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Hurst caught two passes (on seven targets) for 27 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hurst was listed as a starter alongside Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka for Sunday's game, with Hurst playing 48 of 65 offensive snaps (73.8 percent). The rookie third-rounder caught passes of 21 and six yards from Baker Mayfield, though Hurst also was targeted on a ball that was intercepted by Myles Harden late in the first quarter. Hurst will take a 5-63-0 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 3 home tilt against the Vikings on Sept. 27.

Shrader made all three of his field-goal attempts and PATs in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

All three of Shrader's field goals were under 50 yards, including his game-tying make in overtime from 38 yards. The kicker has made all four of his field goals this season and five of six PATs through two contests.

Douglas caught one of two targets for nine yards Sunday in a 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Douglas not only posted an unimpactful stat line, he also was on the field for only 47 percent of New England's offensive snaps after logging a a 62 percent snap share Week 1. Both Mack Hollins (71 percent) and Romeo Doubs (67 percent) recorded a significantly higher offensive snap share Week 2, though Douglas remained ahead of Kyle Williams (20 percent) and Efton Chism (18 percent). With only six catches (on nine targets) for 29 yards through two contests, Douglas has yet to give fantasy managers any confidence in deploying him in lineups.

Butker went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.

Butker was a busy man versus Indianapolis, making field-goal tries from 46, 28, 31 and 40 yards in the victory, the last of which was a game-winner in overtime. The kicker's lone miss of the day came in the second quarter when he pushed a 51-yard attempt wide left. Through two contests, Butker has looked as good as always, converting five of six field-goal attempts, and he'll look to add his first make from 50-plus yards in Week 3 versus Miami.

Otton caught five of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Four of the five passes Otton caught went for 10 yards or less, but he still led all Bucs pass catchers with five receptions while finishing third in receiving yards to Tez Johnson (49) and Chris Godwin (46). Otton played 58 of 65 offensive snaps (89.2 percent) and has served as a security blanket in the passing game for Baker Mayfield. That said, Otton may be used more as a pass blocker Week 3 against the Vikings and their blitz-happy defense under defensive coordinator Brian Flores.

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said that Durant (hamstring) could miss "a few weeks" after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Schottenheimer didn't reveal whether Durant is a candidate for injured reserve, but at the very least, the cornerback appears safe to rule out for the Cowboys' Week 3 game against the Ravens. Durant has tallied three tackles, two pass breakups and one forced fumble through the Cowboys' first two contests.

Thompson suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 35-13 win over Miami, David Lombardi of SFStandard.com reports.

Thompson sustained the injury in the second half of the victory, and he will now likely be forced to miss some time moving forward. In his absence, the 49ers will have to add another interior defensive lineman to their active roster.

Cooper (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the Packers' estimated injury report Monday.

Cooper was able to play all 72 of the team's defensive snaps in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win against the Jets, recording eight total tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, in the contest. The Packers didn't hold an official practice Monday, but the linebacker's limited designation is a positive sign for his chances to play Thursday night versus Atlanta.

Jeudy failed to haul in his lone target during the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jeudy couldn't improve on his 2-26-0 line (on four targets) during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The seventh-year pro played 34 of 58 offensive snaps Sunday (58.6 percent), which was third most among Cleveland wide receivers behind rookies Denzel Boston (54) and KC Concepcion (38). Jeudy finished the 2025 regular season with the second-most receiving yards on the Browns, but it appears Boston, Concepcion, tight end Harold Fannin and even running back Quinshon Judkins are the preferred targets for Deshaun Watson to open the season. Jeudy will look for better results in Cleveland's home opener against Carolina on Sept. 27.
