The Cleveland Browns have officially activated rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins, per a team announcement. Judkins is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens after an offseason arrest kept him out of training camp and delayed his signing with the team. The 21-year-old is likely to split touches with fellow rookie back
Dylan Sampson and veteran
Jerome Ford early on. Judkins should not be started in fantasy this week, but he's definitely a player to stash for later on this season.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph (knee) was a surprise addition to the team's injury report on Friday and is officially questionable to play in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. Joseph dealt with a knee issue during training camp but was able to play in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers and logged full practices on Wednesday and Thursday of this past week. The 24-year-old was a first-team All-Pro in 2024, recording a league-best nine interceptions. His absence would be a huge blow to the Lions' secondary and would make life significantly easier for quarterback
Caleb Williams and the rest of the Bears' passing game.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier earned double-digit touches in Week 1, although against a stout Tampa run defense, he was unable to convert them into much production, logging just 24 yards on 10 totes. The 25-year-old back was a non-factor in the passing game, not even drawing a single target compared to
Bijan Robinson's seven targets. Allgeier tallied 10 or more carries just five times in 17 games last year, so this likely won't be a regular occurrence, however, the product out of BYU did have a solid game against Minnesota last year, which is who he'll face on Sunday night. The 5-foot-10 back ran nine times for 63 yards and a score in this matchup last year, so he's got a chance to produce again, but the Vikings allowed just 53 yards to running backs last week (QB
Caleb Williams ran for 58) and allowed the second-fewest rush yards per game in '24, leaving Allgeier as nothing more than an RB4 or low-end Flex play in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum should remain an afterthought in the team's offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. While Corum is a solid handcuff, he lacks fantasy appeal as long as
Kyren Williams. Just last week, he played only 17 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with one rushing attempt and one reception. While it's encouraging that he was the only Rams running back not named Williams to register a snap, his incredibly low usage indicates that he's not a priority option in this offense. Even in a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week, Corum has a very low floor and can be left on the bench or the waiver wire.

The Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, which is bad news for both defenses. The Jaguars D/ST had a good Week 1, finishing with 11 fantasy points against
Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, but this week's matchup with
Joe Burrow and the Bengals should be much more difficult on paper. The Bengals do tend to struggle early in the season for whatever reason, but that isn't a risk worth taking, especially after
Ja'Marr Chase had a surprisingly quiet Week 1. Drop or leave the Jaguars D/ST on waivers if streaming a defense in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams remains a strong fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Williams' nose for the end zone was on display once again last week as he scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, and he has a strong chance to score this Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Titans. Just last week, we saw this Tennessee defense surrender 151 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to a Broncos team that admitted it didn't even run the ball as much as it should have. If Denver could have pushed closer to 200 yards on the ground, then there's a very real chance that someone like Williams can go for 100 yards and a touchdown, especially with game script and time of possession favoring the Rams. Williams is a high-end RB2 with mid-range RB1 upside.

The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST played well last week, beating last year's Super Bowl runner-up, the Kansas City Chiefs. They held their divisional rivals to just 21 points and limited their running backs to only 41 yards. This week, they face the Las Vegas Raiders and quarterback
Geno Smith, who threw for over 300 yards last week. Although Smith is less mobile than
Patrick Mahomes, the Raiders' offense remains strong. The Chargers' defense is steady, but with no turnovers and only one sack in Week 1, they might not offer the explosive upside fantasy managers look for in a D/ST. There could be better streaming options available this week as RotoBaller lists them as the D/ST16.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (collarbone) from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It's not surprising that Worthy will not be able to play in Week 2, considering he suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 1. Without Worthy on the field, Kansas City will rely more heavily on wide receivers
Marquise Brown,
JuJu Smith-Schuster, and
Tyquan Thornton. Brown profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option on Sunday against Philadelphia.

Cincinnati Bengals running back
Chase Brown had only 43 yards off 21 carries in the Week 1 win over Cleveland. His 2.0 yards per carry was a tough pill to swallow for fantasy managers. Still, he at least found the end zone, so the afternoon wasn't a total flop. The same can't be said for the rest of the Bengals offense, with
Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards and one touchdown. To make matters worse,
Ja'Marr Chase and
Tee Higgins combined for five receptions. Despite the subpar offensive showing, Cincinnati managed to pull off a narrow one-point victory. With a win in the books, Brown and company will host the Jaguars in Week 2. Without question, the Bengals have struggled to begin the season in the last few years. However, Brown and company have a great chance of turning things around. Although he sometimes struggles picking up yards on the ground, his versatility as a pass-catching back makes a difference. Sunday's game is expected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule, so both offenses may be clicking on all cylinders. All things considered, Brown should be more productive in Week 2, especially if Burrow can get the offense into the Red Zone more than he did against Cleveland. Keep Brown rolling in all fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker had a perfect outing in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, scoring nine points with two field goals and three converted extra points. This week, the Chargers are projected to score around 25 points against the Las Vegas Raiders, setting Dicker up for another productive day. He is a reliable kicker on a high-scoring offense, which makes him a valuable asset in fantasy football. RotoBaller projects Dicker as K2 this week and should be started with confidence.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end
Will Dissly had only one target in Week 1, converting it into a single catch for 18 yards. He will look to rebound against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. Despite the Raiders' defense giving up 76 yards to the tight end position last week, Dissly might not see enough volume to be relevant in fantasy. Dissly's 54.1% route participation and his lack of involvement in the game script make him an unreliable fantasy option. RotoBaller projects him as TE38, and he should not be started in any fantasy leagues at this time.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Quentin Johnston silenced his critics in Week 1 with an impressive 5-79-2 stat line on just seven targets against a tough Kansas City Chiefs defense. Johnston's 97.3% route participation and 66.7% red-zone target rate show that he is a key part of this offense. The former first-round pick is expected to have a favorable matchup against Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Kyu Blu Kelly, and his big frame could make him a go-to target in the red zone again this week. He has a high ceiling and a solid floor for this Week 2 divisional matchup. He is a strong flex option versus the Raiders, and RotoBaller projects him as WR45 this week.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller

Atlanta Falcons kicker
Younghoe Koo was 2-for-2 on extra points in Week 1 and 2-for-3 on field goals, but the one field goal he missed was a 44-yarder that could have tied the game and sent it to overtime. We'll see if that shakes his confidence after making just 73.5 percent of his field goals in 2024, and also after Head Coach Raheem Morris said that the Falcons will begin working out new kickers after the miss. He'll get pristine kicking conditions inside a dome (again) at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minnesota on Sunday night, but with other more consistent kicker options available, the 31-year-old kicker ranks outside of the top 12 options at the position this week.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Jaylon Jones (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will not be eligible to return until Week 6 at the earliest. Indianapolis will be severely shorthanded in the secondary on Sunday against the Denver Broncos with both Jones and top corner Charvarius Ward (concussion) sidelined. Xavien Howard and Mekhi Blackmon appear poised to be the team's starting corners on the outside, but it could be a big day for quarterback
Bo Nix and the Broncos' passing game.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie sensation
Travis Hunter had a solid Week 1, and will look to expand on it in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He finished his first NFL game against the Carolina Panthers with six catches on eight targets for 33 yards. It seems like head coach Liam Coen is interested in getting the ball in Hunter's hands as much as possible, a great sign for his future fantasy outlook. Against the Bengals, the game script should favor passing against a weaker pass defense, so that is good news for Hunter's upside. The only potential drawback for the rookie receiver is if he plays more on defense this week. Given Hunter's clear talent, fantasy managers should feel great starting their star rookie in the flex spot in Week 2.
