Chargers | Limited impact from Omarion Hampton Tue Sep 16, 02:04 AM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton ran the ball eight times for 24 yards against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. Hampton was also targeted twice as a receiver, catching one for one yard.
Footballguys view: Hampton, the 22nd pick of the draft, has 72 yards through two games. On Monday, he was held to fewer than 50 yards rushing in back-to-back games for the first time since his 2022 freshman season at North Carolina, per NFL Research. There's little reason to think much brighter days aren't ahead, but so far, the draft's first-round RB duo has been anything but dynamic. He'll try to get on track against the Commanders in Week 3. |
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert connected on 19 of his 27 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in a win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Herbert also ran nine times for a team-high 31 yards.
Footballguys view: Herbert has been excellent this season. He tossed a pair of touchdowns on Monday -- one to Keenan Allen and a 60-yarder to Quentin Johnston, for five in two games with no interceptions. Failing to salt away a win in the fourth quarter on three fruitless drives that added up to 11 plays for 29 yards and a lost fumble is troubling. Still, though, Herbert is playing arguably the best ball of his career and flourishing in a second year with offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Herbert is QB4 through two games. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 13 of 24 passes for 207 yards and a touchdown in a Week 2 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Stroud added 27 yards on four rushes.
Footballguys view: As NFL.com noted, Stroud's accuracy was unquestionably an issue Monday night, but so was his lack of time in the pocket. Too often, Tampa Bay would dial up even the simplest of blitzes and earn quick pressures. It's entirely understandable that Stroud would struggle with accuracy under consistent pressure, but the real damage is done when the quarterback begins to miss throws when free from pressure. That is what happened far too often Monday night, a concerning sign for this offense even after just two weeks. We'll look for signs of improvement against the Jaguars in Week 3. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers TE Cade Otton had three catches (on four targets) for 25 yards versus the Houston Texans in Week 2.
Link to storyUpdating previous report, Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is not expected to be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of his ankle injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Footballguys view: While the expectation isn't an IR stay, the team doesn't have an exact timeline for McCarthy's return yet. They'll see how he responds to treatment this week. "Hearing from our medical staff, it's one of those things that tends to be much worse today than it probably was in the moment for him, with adrenaline and everything," O'Connell said. The reported timeline is two to four weeks. Carson Wentz will start in McCarthy's absence. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard posted 34 yards on four receptions against the Houston Texans in Week 2. Shepard was targeted four times.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka had four receptions, 29 yards, and a touchdown against the Houston Texans in Week 2. He was targeted seven times, which ranked second on the team.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving gained 71 yards on 17 carries during the team's Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. Irving added six receptions (on six targets) for 50 yards.
Footballguys view: Two seasons ago, the Buccaneers owned the NFL's worst running game and drafted accordingly, selecting Irving and enjoying instant success by leaning on him as the lead back in 2024. A year later, they've discovered they have two quality options that can be interchanged on any down. Irving and Rachaad White teamed up to tally 136 yards and a game-winning score on the ground Monday night. Irving showed tons of explosion and swiftness while knifing through the Texans' defense, and White spelled him effectively. But it's Irving who sits at RB12 heading into a Week 3 meeting with the Jets. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans caught five of 11 targeted passes for a team-high 56 yards during the team's Week 2 win over the Houston Texans.
