Patriots Defense Forces Turnover On Rookie’s First Career Interception

The New England Patriots' defense allowed 24 points during a Week 2 loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins.

However, to their credit, the unit held Tyreek Hill to 40 yards and rookie Christian Gonzalez notched his […]

Mike Gesicki Gets Involved Versus Former Team

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki turned six targets into five receptions for 33 yards against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 2.

Ezekiel Elliott An Afterthought Sunday

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed just five times for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Elliott garnered a whopping seven targets last week but earned no receiving opportunities on Sunday.

Rhamondre Stevenson Salvages Week 2 Performance With Touchdown

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson logged 15 carries for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday evening. He also caught three passes for an additional 10 receiving yards, which is relatively underwhelming considering he had six catches for 64 yards in Week 1.

Nick Scott Won't Return Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals safety Nick Scott (concussion) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 2 versus the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old had logged nine tackles prior to exiting Sunday's contest. Jordan Battle should see more snaps at strong safety until Scott is able to return.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) is questionable to return in Week 2 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After totaling 53 yards and one touchdown during the season opener, he had failed to log a single target prior to exiting this Sunday. Some combination of Chase Claypool, Velus Jones Jr., and Equanimeous St. Brown […]

Micah Hyde Questionable To Return Sunday

Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde (hamstring) is questionable to return against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. Given Buffalo's sizable lead, it would be a bit surprising to see him check back in on Sunday. Cam Lewis will likely see more snaps until Hyde can return.

Greg Zuerlein Inactive For Week 2

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (groin) is officially inactive for Week 2 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He had been ruled out on Saturday, prompting the Jets to sign Austin Seibert as a temporarily fill-in. Seibert isn't on the fantasy radar.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (right knee) is questionable to return against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He was carted to the locker room with a wrap on his right knee in the second half of Sunday's game.

Breece Hall Suiting Up In Week 2

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He had been listed as questionable but was expected to play after practicing in full on Friday. The expectation is that Hall will have some sort of snap count, similar to Week 1. Of course, that didn't hold […]

Budda Baker Inactive For Week 2

Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after popping up on the injury report Friday. His absence will be felt as the Cardinals enter Week 2 as underdogs. Andre Chachere is expected to start at free safety in his absence.

Wan'Dale Robinson, Azeez Ojulari Inactive Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and defensive end Azeez Ojulari (hamstring) are inactive for Week 2 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Both players had been listed as doubtful, so their absence Sunday comes as no surprise. Darren Waller is the only Giants pass-catcher who can be trusted in fantasy football at the moment. […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Won't Return In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He exited after catching three passes for 29 yards. In the veteran's absence, the Ravens passing game will revolve around Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor.

Puka Nacua Officially Active Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) is officially active for Week 2 versus the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Nacua was arguably the biggest breakout player of Week 1, hauling in 10 of 15 targets for 119 yards. We don't know […]

Austin Ekeler Could Return In Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (ankle) "has a chance" to play in Week 3, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The star playmaker has already been ruled out for Week 2 versus the Titans, catapulting Joshua Kelley into the lead-back role. Ekeler, who totaled 154 scrimmage yards and one touchdown during the Chargers' season […]

C.J. Stroud On Track To Play Week 2

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (shoulder) is expected to play against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2 despite being listed as questionable, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Mark Andrews Expected To Play In Week 2

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quad) is expected to play against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Should I Start Nico Collins in Week 2? WR Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

The general rule of thumb is to avoid players on bad offenses, but there are times where exceptions can be made. One example is this year's Houston Texans, who roster fantasy-relevant players in Dameon Pierce and Nico Collins despite having one of the NFL's lowest-ranked offenses. Heading into Week 2, it's time for fantasy football […]

Should I Start Tyler Allgeier in Week 2? RB Fantasy Football Rankings Analysis

After some questions about how the Atlanta Falcons would distribute opportunities among their running backs, fantasy football managers gained some much-needed clarity in Week 1 and should view both Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier as fantasy-relevant options ahead of Week 2.
