Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Bears. RBs Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale are active behind workhorse Joe Mixon.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday – but he said the knee is just a pain-tolerance issue. So there’s a chance he’s able to play his usual snapload tonight. Chicago could certainly use him with WR Keenan Allen out.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed this heel injury on Wednesday, but it sounds like Allen didn’t progress throughout the week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3’s meeting vs. the Colts.
Saints WR Chris Olave caught four passes for 81 yards on a team-high six targets in Sunday's blowout victory at Dallas. His 4 receptions tied WR Rashid Shaheed for the team lead, while the yardage trailed only Shaheed, who caught a 70-yard TD.
Giants WR Malik Nabers drew 18 targets on 28 Daniel Jones pass attempts in the Week 2 loss to the Commanders. That's a massive 64.3% target share. The rookie turned that volume into 10 catches, 127 yards, and his first career TD. Nabers was running free against a bad Washington secondary all game long, and Jones was accurate for the most part. Nabers did have a bad drop on fourth down late in the fourth quarter that potentially cost the Giants the game. But fantasy owners have nothing to complain about after this big game.
Commanders WR Terry McLaurin led the team with eight targets for a 27.6% share in the Week 2 win over the Giants. But that's where the good news ends. McLaurin finished with just 22 scoreless yards on six grabs. Washington had nothing working downfield in the passing game. McLaurin's longest grab went for 12 yards. His other catches: 8, 5, 2, and -2 yards and -3 yards.
Another week, another long TD for Saints WR Rashid Shaheed. He scored from 70 yards out Sunday to power a team-leading 4-96-1 receiving day in a lopsided victory over the Cowboys. That followed his 59-yard TD amid a three-catch day in Week 1. Shaheed also carried three times against Dallas, though he turned them into just 13 yards.
Jets WR Garrett Wilson remained quiet in a Week 2 win over Tennessee. He tallied 4 grabs for 57 yards, going without a score for the second straight week.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored four times in a 44-19 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday. He delivered 115 yards and 3 TDs on 20 carries and added a 57-yard catch-and-run TD as part of a 2-65-1 receiving line.
Rams WR Cooper Kupp injured his left ankle near the end of the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He's been deemed doubtful to return. We'll look for further updates on the injury, but this could be disastrous for a Rams team already without WR Puka Nacua for at least three more games -- and likely more. L.A. is now down to WRs Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell, and Jordan Whittington.
QB Jayden Daniels struggled in the red zone in Sunday's game vs. the Giants. K Austin Seibert nailed seven FGs to get Washington the win, but Daniels finished without a TD. He played well enough otherwise. The rookie completed 23 of 29 passes (79%) for 226 yards (7.8 YPA) and no INTs, adding 44 more yards on 10 carries. The Giants clearly made it a point to limit Daniels' rushing after his huge Week 1. They kept him bottled up for the most part -- but Daniels still posted a nice rushing total thanks to four runs of 9+ yards.
Patriots TE Hunter Henry had a breakout performance with a stat line of eight catches on 12 targets for 109 yards. Henry was the focal point of the Patriots’ receiving game more than doubling the targets of any other Patriots pass catcher. Though he didn’t score a TD, it was a great fantasy performance.
RB Rhamondre Stevenson once again led the Patriots backfield in carries with a final stat line of 21 carries for 81 yards and a TD against the Seahawks. He was also targeted five times in the passing game, though he only had two receptions for nine yards. It was a solid performance again for Stevenson, despite fellow RB Antonio Gibson also earning double-digit carries.
Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet started at RB and ended with a final stat line of 14 rushes for 38 yards and a TD. He also added five catches on five targets for 31 yards. He filled in for the injured RB Kenneth Walker III and did not have a great rushing performance only averaging 2.7 yards per carry, but found the end zone and had success catching the ball.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a breakout performance in Week 2 against the Patriots with a final stat line of 12 catches on 16 targets for 117 yards. JSN was used mostly as a slot WR, but had a few catches on the outside as well. After a disappointing Week 1, JSN bounced back in a big way leading the team in targets.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf ended with a final stat line of 10 catches on 14 targets for 129 yards and a TD. He caught the 56-yard TD in the first quarter and was heavily involved in the Seahawks game plan after a disappointing Week 1. Metcalf still looked to be the primary X WR for the Seahawks and should continue to be used a ton.
Raiders rookie TE Brock Bowers went off with a final stat line of nine catches on all nine of his targets. He nearly had a TD, being downed at the one-yard line. In a game where the Raiders were trailing for most of the second half, QB Gardner Minshew threw the ball 38 times. Bowers was second behind WR Davante Adams in targets for the Raiders.
Raiders WR Davante Adams had a final stat line of nine receptions on 12 targets for 110 yards and a TD. In a game where the Raiders were trailing for most of the game, QB Gardner Minshew threw the ball 38 times. Adams led the Raiders in targets.
Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins delivered for fantasy managers in a Week 2 win over Carolina. Seeing 17 carries, the former Raven busted off 131 yards and 1 TD. He tallied a run of 40+ yards for the second straight week.
Ravens TE Mark Andrews ended with a final stat line of four catches on five targets for 51 yards. He bounced back a bit after Week 1 and had more targets, catches and yards than fellow TE Isaiah Likely.
