Week 1 is complete, and we flip the page to Week 2.
Key questions as we enter this second week of NFL and fantasy football action:
Can Ja'Marr Chase re-establish himself against a traditionally strong Houston defense after a quiet Week 1?
Can the Atlanta Falcons find quarterback play to salvage Drake London and Kyle Pitts Sr.?
How real were the contributions of Dalton Kincaid, Isaiah Likely, and Jalen Coker after Week 1 breakouts?
Will injuries to Zay Flowers and Nico Collins keep them out of Week 2, and can Baltimore and Houston survive depleted receiver rooms?
We run through the entire NFL's passing attacks from Week 1 and look towards Week 2.
The Target Report
I view target trees as "clean" or "dirty." Clean trees distill targets to their top options and give standout fantasy performances. Dirty trees are, well, a mess and rely on unpredictable possibilities. The chart below categorizes these offenses.

-
Cooper Rush, combined with Kevin Stefanski's affinity for the short passing game, has the entire offense running through Robinson. Rush is questionable for Week 2, Michael Penix Jr. remains an enigma, and undrafted rookie Jack Strand could be in line to start. Robinson can survive this environment, but London's Round 2 ADP threatens to sink managers unless something changes quickly. Kyle Pitts Sr. drew a zero with Rush missing him on a potential touchdown. Pitts is a sit in Week 2; Robinson is a start. You likely don't have a clearly better option than London, but this doesn't feel good.
-
The Lions continued their hyper-consolidated passing attack. Add in Jahmyr Gibbs, and 95% of targets went to four players. St. Brown needs 180 yards to pass Johnnie Morton for third on the Lions' career yardage list. He is already third in receptions and touchdowns. It was St. Brown's 4th career game with 10+ receptions and 2+ touchdowns, tying 11 other players (including Jerry Rice) for the 11th most in NFL history. Davante Adams has 12, and Antonio Brown is 2nd with 8. Williams' involvement was encouraging, though his low conversion rate was disappointing.
-
Jefferson tied Randy Moss for the second most receptions in Vikings history, trailing Cris Carter. It was his first multiple-touchdown game since Week 16, 2024, and he equaled his 2025 total touchdown output. Jordan Addison drew a zero as the team focused on Jefferson. No other receivers were noteworthy, though Hockenson had his best fantasy game since Week 3, 2025. The Vikings could find themselves in a shootout with a Bears offense that scored 59 points and a defense that gave up a massive day to the Panthers.
- Nabers' health and involvement were very encouraging signs, but Isaiah Likely stole the show. Bob Tucker, in Week 11 of 1972, was the only other Giants tight end to post an 8+ - 70+ - 2+ line. Tucker went 8-100-2 in a 62-10 win over the Eagles. Singletary's involvement looked fluky; the Giants offense struggled when Cam Skattebo came out and fell into the Cowboys, failing to cover Singletary flaring out of the backfield. The Giants were one of the surprises of Week 1 and seek to carry the momentum against another Week 1 surprise, the Rams, in a primetime spot.
