Russell Wilson Throws for 450 Yards, Three Touchdowns in Loss
Russell Wilson came ready to prove the doubters wrong during Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. After a lackluster season opener, there was some speculation that Wilson would be benched in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. The Giants stuck with Wilson and he gave them a great bounce back performance on Sunday. Wilson completed 30-of-41 passing attempts for 450 yards, with three touchdowns, and one interception in the overtime loss. Everything was going Wilson's way until he threw what looked like a miscommunication interception to end the game. The Giants did lose this game, but this performance should keep the heat off Wilson for a little longer. We'll see if he can carry this momentum into next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Jared Goff Throws Five Touchdowns
Jared Goff was outstanding on the field during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Goff bounced back in epic fashion after a lackluster performance in the season opener. Goff completed 23-of-28 passing attempts for 334 yards with five touchdowns in the blowout victory. Yes, you read that correctly, Goff threw five touchdowns in this game. Goff went out and showed former Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson that he's doing just fine without him. He tossed a pair of touchdowns to Jameson Williams while Amon-Ra St. Brown found the end zone three times on Sunday. Now, Goff will head into a tough test against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Given his performance this week, fantasy managers should view Goff as a QB1 for next week.

Joe Burrow Suffers Turf Toe and Torn Ligaments in Win
Joe Burrow (toe) is believed to have suffered turf toe during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Jeremy Rauch of FOX 19. Burrow also suffered torn ligaments and is expected to miss several weeks. The former No. 1 pick exited during the first half and did not return. He finished Week 2 with seven completions, 76 yards, and one passing touchdown. With Burrow expected to miss significant time, Jake Browning will take over as the Bengals' primary quarterback. Browning led the Bengals to a victory Sunday, but it wasn't pretty as he threw three interceptions.

Joe Burrow Seen with Boot and Crutches Postgame
Joe Burrow (toe) was seen wearing a boot and walking with crutches following Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow exited during the first half and did not return. He finished Week 2 with seven completions, 76 yards, and one passing touchdown. If the postgame scene is any indication, it appears the quarterback's injury is considered serious, and he could end up missing some time. If so, Jake Browning would take over as the Bengals' primary quarterback. Browning led the Bengals to a victory Sunday, but it wasn't pretty as he threw three interceptions. We'll likely get more information on Burrow's status after the team conducts additional medical testing.

Justin Fields Diagnosed With Concussion Sunday
Justin Fields (head) has officially been diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He was taken to the locker room in the second half to be evaluated, leaving Tyrod Taylor as the Jets' primary option under center. Fields finished Sunday's game having completed three of 11 pass attempts for 27 yards through the air, and he also added 49 rushing yards. The Jets will have one week until their next game, which leaves very little time for Fields to recover and clear concussion protocol. If he can't get healthy in time, Taylor would be in line to start at quarterback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Joe Burrow Questionable to Return in Week 2 with Toe Injury
Joe Burrow (toe) is questionable to return to his team's Week 2 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars due to a toe injury, per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Burrow was taken into the locker room with assistance from trainers and was limping heavily. It remains to be seen whether Burrow will be able to return on Sunday, but the fact that he was not immediately ruled out by the team has to be considered a positive sign.

Joe Burrow (leg) was taken to the locker room on Sunday due to an apparent left leg injury. Burrow was limping heavily and required assistance from the training staff to get off the field. More will be known about the injury once the team releases an official update, but a Burrow injury would obviously be a massive blow for both fantasy managers and the Bengals' offense.

Josh Allen Returns to the Game After Injury Scare
Josh Allen (nose) has returned to the game against the New York Jets after taking a shot to the face. The superstar QB departed the game after being bloodied when he was sandwiched between two Jets defenders, a collision that popped him in the nose. Allen wasn't out for long, though, as the Bills' medical staff put gauze up one nostril and got back him on the field. Fantasy managers rostering the QB1 can forge ahead as usual.

Jack Conklin Out for Browns
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin (eye, elbow) will not play in Week 2 against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens after he was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday. Conklin was a game-time decision for this one, but apparently, he wasn't feeling good enough during pre-game workouts. With the 31-year-old veteran sidelined, it will be a downgrade for Cleveland's offensive line at right tackle. Expect Cornelius Lucas to make the start in Conklin's place against a Ravens defense that got steamrolled in Week 1 by the Buffalo Bills. The Browns' offense isn't anywhere close to the level of Buffalo, though, so this could be a problem on the right edge for quarterbackTrent Williams Active for Week 2 Against Saints
Mac Jones' blindside. Williams being active is refreshing for the 49ers and their fans, who haven't received very much good news on the injury front lately. Brandon Aiyuk (knee) opened the season on IR, and now George Kittle (hamstring) and Brock Purdy (shoulder) are both expected to miss time. This offense should run through Christian McCaffrey, which is one of many reasons why it's good for the 49ers that Williams is active.

He had been listed as questionable, and while there was some concern after he missed two practices this week, he was able to return in a limited capacity on Friday. Now, after testing his knee during pregame warmups Sunday, Williams is good to go.

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) is active for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. Decker had been listed as questionable, and there was some concern about his availability after he didn't practice this past week. However, in the end, the veteran lineman is healthy enough to suit up. His presence will be quite impactful for the Lions' offensive line as they look to protect
