Denver Broncos wide receiver
Troy Franklin had the best game of his career in Week 2, recording eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in his team's 29-28 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Franklin was targeted nine times in a game where no other Denver receiver logged more than four targets. The second-year wideout has now recorded 12 catches on 15 targets for 133 yards and a touchdown this season. Franklin could be emerging as the number two wide receiver in Denver behind
Courtland Sutton. The 22-year-old will be a name to monitor on the waiver wire for fantasy managers heading into a Week 3 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones posted his second straight stellar performance in his team's 29-28 Week 2 victory over the Denver Broncos. Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 316 yards and one touchdown, adding another touchdown as a rusher as well. Jones has now thrown for 588 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions across the first two games of the season. He's rushed for three scores as well. The 28-year-old is in his first year in Indianapolis after six underwhelming seasons with the New York Giants. Jones has been far better than expectations so far with the Colts, and may deserve consideration as a waiver-wire pickup in fantasy. He'll play his first road game of the season in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans.

The Dallas Cowboys are signing veteran defensive end Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year, $3.5 million deal with a maximum value of $6 million, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Dallas traded away star edge rusher Micah Parsons before the season started, and their defense has allowed 61 points over the first two weeks of the season. Clowney should be able to help replace some of the pass rush the Cowboys lost in Parsons. Clowney has recorded 58 career sacks across 11 NFL seasons, including 5.5 in 14 games for the Carolina Panthers in 2024. The 32-year-old will likely slot into a rotational role behind starting Cowboys defensive ends Sam Williams and Dante Fowler Jr.

Indianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor had a monster game in his team's Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old logged 25 carries for 165 yards and also caught two passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Across the first two games of the season, Taylor has now recorded 313 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 48 total touches. The Colts' offense has been surprisingly effective so far overall, dropping 33 points on the Miami Dolphins in Week 1 and 29 on Denver in Week 2. Taylor is a must-start fantasy running back with high-end RB1 upside as long as he stays healthy and the Indianapolis offense remains competent.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (turf toe) could miss three months if it is determined that he needs to undergo surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Images of Burrow's injury have been sent to Dr. Robert Anderson, who will review the information and suggest the best course of action for the former No. 1 overall pick. While there was certainly concern that Burrow's injury could be serious after he was seen with crutches and a walking boot, a three-month absence seems to fall on the more extreme end of worst-case scenarios for the star quarterback. We'll likely know more information about his status Monday when the dust settles on Week 2. Barring an unforeseen development,
Jake Browning will start at quarterback for the Bengals in Week 3 and beyond.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback
Dak Prescott completed 38 of 52 pass attempts for 361 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the New York Giants in overtime. He also took three sacks and rushed for 17 yards. The veteran signal caller certainly bounced back after a disappointing season opener, and it was intriguing to see him spread the ball around to a variety of pass catchers.
CeeDee Lamb,
Jake Ferguson, and
George Pickens all had at least nine targets apiece while combining for 258 yards and one touchdown as a group. Prescott will be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback heading into next week's favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who just surrendered five passing touchdowns to
Jared Goff.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams caught six of his 13 targets for a team-leading 106 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Rams vowed to get Adams more involved this week, and that's exactly what happened, as the veteran pass catcher carved out an impressive 39.4 percent target share. Although he finished with fewer fantasy points than
Puka Nacua for the second week in a row, what's more important is that both Nacua and Adams scored at least 22.5 points (PPR). Week 2 showed that the two can easily co-exist in a
Matthew Stafford-led offense, which bodes well for their respective fantasy values going forward. Heading into Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Nacua is a low-end WR1 while Adams is a mid-to-high WR2. Both have high-end WR1 upside, though.

San Francisco 49ers running back
Christian McCaffrey rushed for 55 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's Week 2 victory over the New Orleans Saints. He also caught six of seven targets for an additional 53 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. Although the veteran playmaker didn't quite eclipse the 100-yard mark, he made up for it by scoring his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. He also served as a very valuable and dependable pass-catching option for quarterback
Mac Jones amidst the injury to
Brock Purdy (shoulder). McCaffrey has wasted no time making a big impact in fantasy football, scoring at least 22.7 points (PPR) in each of his first two games this year. There's minimal competition for the 29-year-old in San Francisco, keeping him in the mid-range RB1 tier ahead of Week 3 versus the Arizona Cardinals.

Dallas Cowboys running back
Javonte Williams carried the ball 18 times for 97 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He also converted seven targets into six receptions for 33 yards through the air. The veteran running back not only earned significant volume in the overtime victory, but he also showed that he can stay fresh and productive for an entire game. In fact, he has now strung together two impressive games in a row, scoring at least 20 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his contests so far. He's a very solid RB2 option heading into a Week 3 clash with the Chicago Bears, who were just destroyed by the Detroit Lions.

Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane carried the ball 11 times for just 30 rushing yards during Sunday's Week 2 loss against the New England Patriots. However, he also caught eight of 10 targets for an additional 92 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. All in all, while the speedy running back wasn't able to get much going on the ground, he made a huge impact through the air and gave his fantasy managers plenty of reasons to celebrate. He has now scored at least 16.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games this year, putting him in the low-end RB1 conversation for Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua caught eight of his nine targets for 91 yards through the air. However, the young receiver's best play of the day was a 45-yard touchdown run that involved breaking several tackles and winning a foot race to the end zone. Nacua has now scored at least 23 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games so far, establishing himself as a top-tier wide receiver in fantasy football. It was impressive to see him continue to produce in a game like Sunday's, where he had a tougher matchup and played in a positive game script. The game script could flip next week against the Philadelphia Eagles, creating even more opportunities for Nacua to earn targets. He's a firm WR1 option going forward.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson caught eight of his 10 targets for 142 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Robinson set a career-high in receiving yards, shattering his previous personal best mark of 100 yards. He was one of several beneficiaries of the Giants' shootout against the Cowboys as quarterback
Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns. While it's unlikely that Robinson replicates this level of performance going forward, it's still clear that he has built a strong rapport with Wilson and is able to maintain fantasy relevance week in and week out. With at least 11.5 fantasy points (PPR) in each of his two games so far this season, Robinson ranks as a strong WR3/flex option ahead of Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

New England Patriots quarterback
Drake Maye completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. In the process, he tied his career-high completion percentage (82.6 percent). He also ran the ball 10 times for an additional 31 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. The second-year signal caller has looked solid through two games this year, showcasing an ability to make plays on the ground and through the air. Sunday's matchup was relatively softer, but he was still tested from time to time. We could see a similar fantasy performance from Maye next week as he takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers, whose defense has underperformed through the first two games.

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith (illness) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Atlanta Falcons. He had been limited in practice this week but ultimately will not play. This is the second game in a row for which Smith has been sidelined, which means his season debut will have to wait at least one more week. Theo Jackson is expected to start at safety in his absence.

September 14, 2025
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski told the media that he's not considering a quarterback change following Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Joe Flacco struggled in the loss, completing 25 of 45 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also took two sacks and lost a fumble. With Cleveland trailing by multiple possessions late in the game, Stefanski replaced Flacco with rookie
Dillon Gabriel. In the first drive of his career, Gabriel went 3-for-3 with a passing touchdown, albeit against a defense that presumably wasn't playing at 100 percent due to the large lead. Flacco will remain the starting quarterback in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, whose Micah Parsons-led defense has been playing quite well. Flacco can't be trusted in fantasy football next week.
