Washington Commanders kicker
Matt Gay did not attempt a field goal in their 21-6 Week 1 win over the Giants, but he converted all three extra points. Gay likely would have had a field-goal opportunity at the end of the first half, but Washington was called for an intentional-grounding penalty with a handful of seconds left and no timeouts left, leaving the clock to run out. The offense had other sloppy moments that ended potential scoring drives early, but they still moved the ball at will. In a projected shootout on Thursday night in Green Bay, Gay should be fired up as one of the top kicker options in Week 2.

Green Bay Packers tight end
Tucker Kraft scored in Week 1 and looks to make it back-to-back scoring weeks as the Packers host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Kraft scored on a 15-yard pass from quarterback
Jordan Love to kick off the scoring for the Packers in Week 1. Other than that score, the 24-year-old only caught one more pass for one yard on an additional three targets. The Packers' pass-catchers are heavily reliant on touchdowns rather than target volume, but no pass-catcher saw the field and ran more routes than Kraft did with 92 percent route participation in Week 1. For Week 2 against the Commanders, Kraft is a decent TE1 fantasy play with the hopes that the Packers get pushed by the Commanders on the offensive end.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs led the Packers in receiving yards in Week 1 and looks to help pace the Packers' wide receivers again as Green Bay hosts the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Doubs led the Packers with 68 receiving yards on just two catches; one being a 48-yard snag in the second quarter as the first of a two-play drive that led to a
Jayden Reed touchdown. Doubs led the wide receivers in routes as he was on the field for 71 percent of
Jordan Love's dropbacks. Still, Doubs is simply a low-end fantasy flex play with his production that is very boom or bust and hard to prognosticate in a given week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot) did not practice on Monday but came off the injury report without a designation after two limited practices. He'll suit up for the Packers as they face the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. Reed led Green Bay in targets with five and scored a touchdown on three catches for 45 yards. As a slot-only receiver, Reed rarely gets the chance to play on the outside in anything but 11 personnel. He's been a frustrating player to roster in fantasy since the second half of 2024, so that's why it's tough to trust Reed as anything more than a flex play despite an excellent matchup against the Commanders.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Noah Brown ran a limited number of routes in Week 1 against the Giants after suffering a knee injury in training camp. He ran 19 out of 33 possible routes, and that number should increase as he ramps back up. Washington will likely still rotate Brown with other receivers to an extent, but he is expected to serve as the primary boundary wide receiver this season opposite
Terry McLaurin. While he didn't rack up big stats, he had plenty of positive moments last season, including the infamous Hail Mary catch against the Bears. But he proved to be a reliable weapon that quarterback
Jayden Daniels often trusted to win. Oftentimes, he did, and he also excelled in generating pass interference penalties down the field. Brown plays his role well on a winning team, but he won't be on many fantasy radars for Week 2.

Miami Dolphins running back
Jaylen Wright (knee) remained sidelined during the team's practice on Wednesday afternoon. Wright was listed as a non-participant on each day leading up to their season opener against the Colts, and remains in the same capacity to open Week 2. Managers should continue to monitor his status, but it appears Wright is trending towards missing his second-straight contest. In Week 1, star running back
De'Von Achane took most of the workload while rookie
Ollie Gordon II operated as the No. 2. Last season, Wright posted a 3.7 YPC over the 68 attempts he took as a rookie. When he does return, he will likely compete for the backup job with Gordon, as Achane is well established as the team's workhorse. Wright is only worth stashing in deep 14+ team leagues in an IR spot, as his recovery timeline is still not defined.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Matthew Golden (ankle) was a limited participant on Monday with an ankle injury, but put in two full practices to come off the injury report as the Packers host the Commanders in Week 2. Golden caught both of his targets for 16 yards on a day where the Packers' passing game wasn't too busy in their 27-13 victory over the Lions. Quarterback
Jordan Love only needed 22 pass attempts to dispatch Detroit, and it was more of the same dating back to the post-bye Packers from 2024 as they opted to run the ball more than pass. The lack of passing volume from Green Bay hampers the upside of some of the passing game's weapons, like Golden. That said, Golden does have massive upside in this offense, and the Packers spent a first-round pick on his services, so Golden's offensive involvement will increase game by game. For fantasy, consider Golden an upside-laden flex play for Week 2.

New York Jets rookie tight end
Mason Taylor (ankle) was unable to participate during Wednesday's initial practice session due to an ankle injury. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status as he could be closely monitored heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Bills. In his NFL debut last Sunday, the LSU product caught his lone target for 20 yards. He took the backseat to
Jeremy Ruckert, who was able to bring in two receptions for 16 yards. If Taylor were to sit out in this game, Ruckert would see the majority of targets at the tight end position. However, fantasy managers should expect top wide receiver
Garrett Wilson to remain
Justin Fields's clear top option as he drew a hefty nine targets in their loss to Pittsburgh.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor him during the week. However, seeing him open the week in a limited capacity does not suggest that this injury is not severe. In the season opener, Boutte emerged as
Drake Maye's top target as he brought in six of his targets for an impressive 103 yards. Boutte enjoyed an impressive conclusion to the 2024 season, and it appears he is building off his strong finish. Over his final three games in 2024, Boutte scored two touchdowns and averaged 80.0 yards per game. Given his role as the team's top wideout, he carries high-end WR3 value heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Dolphins.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver
Jaylin Lane had a role in the offense in his NFL debut, catching one of two targets for 11 yards. Lane is entrenched as the team's starting punt returner, but he also impressed in his reps as a receiver during training camp and preseason, which ultimately earned him the No. 4 wide receiver spot. It was a small thing, but Lane dropped the first target he received from quarterback
Jayden Daniels. But Daniels had faith in the fourth-round rookie and went right back to him on the next play, and Lane made the catch about six yards, then turned upfield for an 11-yard gain for his first career touch. Lane will likely continue to see a handful of snaps on offense a week now that the top of the Washington receiver room is intact. He is worth keeping an eye on in redraft leagues with his explosive playmaking ability.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) is dealing with a shoulder injury and was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, David Furones of the Sun Sentinel reports. Waddle suffered the injury in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, but he did return after a brief exit. While Waddle caught four of five targets in Miami's season opener, he only accounted for 30 yards in a rough afternoon for him and his team. If Waddle takes the field in Week 2, he'll go up against a New England Patriots defense that could be without No. 1 cornerback Christian Gonzalez (hamstring), who sat out Week 1 and did not practice on Wednesday.

Green Bay Packers running back
Chris Brooks looks to build on his minor role within the team's offense as the Packers host the Washington Commanders in Week 2. Brooks played well in Green Bay's preseason games, and his status in the running back pecking order ahead of fellow back
Emanuel Wilson remained true. While Brooks remains a clear and distant role player for the Packers, he did get much more work than Wilson did. If something happened to
Josh Jacobs, it's fair to say Brooks' role would increase in what would likely be a split backfield with Wilson. Brooks' situational role keeps him firmly on waivers for Week 2.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. (glute) is dealing with a glute injury, but it didn't stop him from fully participating in practice on Wednesday. As of now, it appears he'll be good to go against a stingy Denver Broncos defense led by all-world cornerback Patrick Surtain II on Sunday. Pittman got off to a great start in catching six of eight targets for 80 yards in a blowout win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. However, it could be tough sledding for Pittman this week if he's matched up against Surtain, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. Surtain broke up the only pass thrown his way in a Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz had a productive Week 1 against the Giants, securing three of his five targets for 26 yards and a touchdown. He and quarterback
Jayden Daniels have developed excellent chemistry on third down and in red zone situations. Ertz had an uncharacteristic sequence on the first drive of the game, where he was flagged for a false start penalty, and then on the next play, he dropped a pass that would have converted a third-and-10. He redeemed himself later with the score. Now he and Washington face a Green Bay defense that shut down a potent Detroit attack. There weren't many signs of positivity for the Lions offense in their 27-13 Week 1 loss, but tight end
Sam LaPorta led the team with 79 receiving yards. Ertz will look to have a similarly productive day against Green Bay on Thursday Night Football, and should be viewed as a low-end TE1.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs looks to build off a solid Week 1 performance in his Week 2 matchup at home against the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night. Jacobs scored a touchdown and took 19 totes for 66 yards on the ground with a catch for yards through the air. It was a typical line for Jacobs, who has been a touchdown-scoring machine for the Packers since last season's Week 10 bye, having scored at least one rushing touchdown in every game since. He's one of the most dependable fantasy running backs in the league with volume and production on what looks like one of the best teams in the NFL. Jacobs is an easy RB1 for Week 2's matchup with Washington, with his typical volume as he looks to make it 10 straight regular-season games with a rushing touchdown.
