Jared Goff Throws Five Touchdowns
Detroit Lions quarterback 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.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Scores Three Touchdowns
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown put together an unbelievable performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. St. Brown was fairly quiet in the season opener with four receptions for 45 yards in the Week 1 loss. He completely exploded in Week 2 giving fantasy managers an epic afternoon. St. Brown hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The Bears secondary had absolutely no answers for St. Brown all afternoon long. The superstar wideout recorded his first career three-touchdown game. The Lions offense erupted for 52 points, but we'll see if they can keep it going next week against the Baltimore Ravens. St. Brown should be viewed as a mid-range WR1 for that one.

Joe Burrow Suffers Turf Toe and Torn Ligaments in Win
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback 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.

Patrick Surtain II Questionable to Return Against Colts
Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (ankle) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. He is officially listed as questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had five tackles, one pass defended, and one defensive pass interference penalty. Widely regarded as one of the top defenders in the NFL, Surtain's absence will be felt as the Broncos continue to battle the Colts in a high-scoring affair. Jahdae Barron should earn more snaps at cornerback until Surtain can return.

Malik Nabers Explodes for Two Touchdowns in Overtime Thriller
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught nine of his 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers delivered two acrobatic touchdown grabs on deep passes from Russell Wilson, carrying his team to an overtime thriller before New York ultimately lost on a game-winning field goal. The former first-round pick has quickly developed a strong rapport with Russell Wilson, which should prove to be beneficial as the Giants throw the ball a lot while playing from behind. Nabers remains a high-end WR1 option heading into Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Joe Burrow Seen with Boot and Crutches Postgame
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback 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.

Alex Highsmith Suffers High-Ankle Sprain in Week 2 Loss
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain after exiting Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The 28-year-old finished the game with just one tackle. He will likely be placed on injured reserve as he misses roughly four to six weeks. Nick Herbig and Jack Sawyer should handle more defensive snaps opposite T.J. Watt going forward.

Justin Fields Diagnosed With Concussion Sunday
New York Jets quarterback 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.

Shemar Stewart Won't Return in Week 2
Cincinnati Bengals rookie first-round defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. The rookie finishes Week 2 with two tackles. With Stewart sidelined, Myles Murphy should earn more defensive snaps as a rotational piece behind Trey Hendrickson and Joseph Ossai.

KaVontae Turpin Injures Neck, Questionable to Return
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver KaVontae Turpin (neck) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially questionable to return. He had been heavily involved prior to his departure, catching four passes for 47 yards and a touchdown, rushing for six yards, and returning four kicks for an additional 100 yards. Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy should pick up some of Turpin's offensive snaps until he can return. Tolbert will also handle Turpin's kick and punt return responsibilities.

Justin Fields Evaluated for Concussion, Tyrod Taylor Enters Game
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (head) exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He was taken to the locker room and is being evaluated for a concussion. At the time of his departure, he had completed just three of 11 pass attempts for 27 yards through the air, and he also added 49 rushing yards. Tyrod Taylor has entered the game and will lead the Jets' offense until Fields is cleared to return. If Fields officially enters concussion protocol, Taylor would likely be in line to start next week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

T.J. Edwards Doubtful to Return Sunday
Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) exited Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions and is officially doubtful to return. Edwards was dealing with a hamstring earlier this week, so it's possible that he re-aggravated that same injury. With Chicago trailing by multiple possessions, it's unlikely they'll try to get Edwards back into the contest. Assuming his day is done, he finishes Week 2 with four tackles. Noah Sewell should assume a larger role on defense for the duration of Edwards' absence.

Jaylon Johnson Done for Week 2
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old had been listed as questionable after exiting earlier in the contest. He finishes the game with a pair of tackles. Jaylon Jones and Nahshon Wright will earn more defensive snaps in Johnson's absence.

Joe Burrow Ruled Out for Remainder of Week 2 With Toe Injury
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 2. He exited in the first half and was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. He finishes the week 7-for-13 passing with 76 passing yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Jake Browning took over for Burrow and has kept the Bengals playing a close game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for additional updates on Burrow's status once the Week 2 contest in Cincinnati comes to an end.

Laiatu Latu Officially Inactive Against Broncos
Indianapolis Colts defensive end Laiatu Latu (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Denver Broncos. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport previously noted that Latu's injury is not believed to be serious, so his absence on Sunday likely indicates the Colts are erring on the side of caution. Samson Ebukam and Tyquan Lewis should earn more defensive snaps in Latu's absence.
