  • Emanuel Wilson RB | SEA

    Seahawks' Emanuel Wilson: Notches 21 carries in victory

    Wilson rushed 21 times for 92 yards and failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-7 win over Arizona.

    Wilson stepped into a larger workload Week 2, partially due to rookie running back Jadarian Price exiting the game with a chest injury in the fourth quarter. The 92 rushing yards were Wilson's highest total since he notched 107 yards and two scores on 28 totes in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign while with the Packers. Wilson could handle the lion's share of touches in the backfield against the Commanders in Week 3 if Price is forced to miss the contest.

  • Darren Waller TE | CAR

    Panthers' Darren Waller: Two TD grabs in rout of Atlanta

    Waller caught all three of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Waller had a touchdown called back in Week 1 against the Bears on an offensive pass interference, but he made a pair of red-zone catches count in this one, scoring from seven and 12 yards. It's become evident that Carolina has big plans for Waller in the scoring area this season. He's not going to go for many yards most weeks, but he's always a candidate to get into the end zone. Waller gets a plus Week 3 draw against the Browns next Sunday.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Breakout performance in Week 2 win

    Waddle brought in eight of 10 targets for 138 yards in the Broncos' 20-13 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

    After a completely non-descript Broncos debut in Week 1, Waddle bounced back with a signature performance in Denver's come-from-behind victory. The veteran wideout led his team in all of receptions, receiving yards and targets by a wide margin, and the highlight of his afternoon was a spectacular 49-yard contested catch early in the second quarter that took the ball down to the Jaguars' one-yard line. The caliber of performance was emblematic of why the Broncos traded for Waddle this offseason, and it may serve as a launchpad for his role in the offense moving forward.

  • Drew Lock QB | SEA

    Seahawks' Drew Lock: Tosses three touchdowns in win

    Lock completed 19 of 26 passes for 235 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 31-7 victory over Arizona.

    Lock didn't make it too hard on himself, looking for superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba early and often. The duo connected for an 82-yard score in the first quarter before later adding touchdowns of seven and 12 yards in the second half. Lock has tossed four touchdowns over the first two weeks, all of which have been to Smith-Njigba. The quarterback has completed 35 of 48 passes for 422 yards with four scores so far this season, and he could be asked to start another contest Week 3 versus the Commanders while Sam Darnold (hip) continues to recover.

  • Denzel Boston WR | CLE

    Browns' Denzel Boston: Scores another long TD in upset win

    Boston caught five of seven targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 23-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

    Boston's big play was a 55-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to pull the Browns even with the Bucs at 16-16. The rookie wideout caught a deep crosser and spun off several would-be tackles and dashed to the end zone. It was Boston's second long touchdown in as many weeks to begin his pro career. Through two games, the second-round pick has seven catches for 154 yards and two scores on 11 targets. He's shaping up as a boom-or-bust fantasy WR4 headed into next Sunday's home date with the Panthers.

  • Jake Ferguson TE | DAL

    Cowboys' Jake Ferguson: Bounces back with two TDs in win

    Ferguson caught all four of his targets for 43 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

    After a quiet Week 1 against the Giants in which he caught just two passes for six scoreless yards, Ferguson bounced back with a pair of red-zone touchdowns against Washington. His four targets were still just fourth on the team, tied with Javonte Williams and behind CeeDee Lamb (nine), George Pickens (eight) and Ryan Flournoy (six) on a day Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes. Ferguson is shaping up as a touchdown-or-bust fantasy tight end headed into Week 3 versus Baltimore.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Ineffective against Seattle

    Brissett completed 17 of 28 passes for 95 yards with a touchdown and an interception while also adding a seven-yard rush in Sunday's 31-7 loss to Seattle.

    Brissett struggled to push the ball down the field against the Seahawks' vaunted secondary, and as a result, he was limited to just 5.4 yards per completion. The quarterback was able to connect with tight end Trey McBride for a two-yard score to open the second quarter, but that was the only bright spot on the day for the 33-year-old. He attempted to find wide receiver Michael Wilson deep down the left sideline in the third quarter, but Julian Love jumped in front of it for his the safety's second interception of the year. Brissett has proven to be more than capable of producing positive results for fantasy managers in his time with the Cardinals, and his next chance to get back on track will come Week 3 against the 49ers on the road.

  • Cardinals' Marvin Harrison: Blanked in Week 2

    Harrison failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

    Harrison was held without a reception for the second time in three regular-season contests dating back to Week 17 of the 2025 campaign. The wide receiver has now gone four straight regular-season games without recording multiple receptions, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett clearly prefers other options like tight end Trey McBride and fellow wideout Michael Wilson over Harrison again in 2026. It's hard to be confident in the 24-year-old former first-round pick heading into the team's Week 3 matchup with San Francisco.

  • De'Von Achane RB | MIA

    Dolphins' De'Von Achane: Inefficient start against stacked fronts

    Achane rushed 20 times for 74 yards while catching three of six targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Achane racked up 23 touches after touching the ball 11 times in Week 1, but the speedster has struggled to find running room while consistently facing stacked boxes. He is averaging a meager 3.5 yards per rushing attempt heading into a Week 3 home game against the Chiefs, which is a departure from Achane's excellent efficiency in previous seasons, as he averaged 5.7 yards per carry last season and has a career mark of 5.6 YPC. Defenses are daring Malik Willis and Miami's underwhelming wide-receiver room to beat them, and Miami's offense hasn't been up to the task during the team's 0-2 start.

  • Ladd McConkey WR | LAC

    Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Three grabs in Week 2 loss

    McConkey (ribs) secured all three targets for 35 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

    McConkey gained clearance from his questionable tag due to a rib injury to suit up, and the third-year wideout tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing second in receiving yards. However, it was a lackluster and mistake-filled day overall for the Chargers passing attack, so McConkey's numbers should also be viewed in that context. McConkey should play a critical role as Los Angeles looks to avoid what would be an alarming third straight loss to open the season in a Week 3 road showdown against the Bills next Sunday.
