Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams carried the ball eight times for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense was unable to record a sack and forced just one turnover in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2.

Cowboys Defense Solid In Week 2 Victory

The Dallas Cowboys defense was solid in a Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The defense didn't record any turnovers, but they sacked Joe Burrow six times and only allowed 17 points.

Dolphins Defense Struggles In Week 2

The Miami Dolphins' defense struggled against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Although Miami came back in the win, the majority of the credit goes to the offense. The Dolphins' defense registered zero turnovers and zero sacks while allowing Lamar Jackson to rack up 318 passing yards, 119 rushing yards, and four total touchdowns. Their […]

Michael Thomas Continues Bounce-Back Campaign

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas finished with six receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in the Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Dameon Pierce Sees Increased Role In Week 2

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce was a popular preseason sleeper, but his role in Week 1 against the Colts really stymied that hype when he took a back seat to Rex Burkhead. That trend took a major shift in Week 2's loss to the Broncos, though, as Pierce ended up being the only […]

Chris Boswell Makes Two Field Goals In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell made both of his field goals in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Boswell hit field goals from 36 and 52 yards in the loss although he did not attempt an extra point as the Steelers went for two after their only touchdown. The veteran […]

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave finished with 13 targets that he turned into five catches for 80 yards in the Week 2 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 of his 34 attempts for 176 yards and a touchdown while also adding 21 rushing yards on 10 carries in the Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Giants didn't need the former first-round pick to do much in the win for the second consecutive week, […]

Davis Mills Struggles Against Broncos

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills had another underwhelming performance in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. Mills was 19-for-38 from the field, finishing with 177 yards. He didn't throw an interception, but he also didn't throw a touchdown despite having one more pass attempt than he did in Week 1. Mills is in no danger […]

Mike Gesicki Catches Touchdown In Week 2

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in all four of his targets for 41 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens.

River Cracraft Catches Touchdown Pass In Week 2

Miami Dolphins wide receiver River Cracraft hauled in one of his two targets for a two-yard touchdown during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. His score played a role in Miami's comeback win. Cracraft went untargeted against New England in Week 1. He does not have any fantasy football appeal going forward.

Chase Claypool Catches Four Passes In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught four of his six targets for 26 yards in a 17-14 loss to the New England Patriots in Week 2. Claypool's receiving line was very similar to what he did in Week 1 when he also caught four of six targets for just 18 yards. The difference was […]

Tyreek Hill Runs Wild In Win Over Ravens

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill had one of the best games of his career on Sunday as he totaled 11 catches, 190 yards, and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens.

Taysom Hill A Non-Factor In Week 2

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill did not play up to expectations in the Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
