Jaguars | Travis Hunter totals three receptions Sun Sep 14, 06:28 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter ended up with three catches for 22 yards on six targets in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while posting two solo tackles and a pass defensed.
| Footballguys view: Hunter's most impactful plays - good and bad - came on defense in this one. He isn't having a big impact as a receiver out of the gate, and Trevor Lawrence isn't playing well enough to expect Hunter to be a good fantasy start against the tough Texans defense in Week 3. Stash the #2 overall pick on your bench for now. |
Lions | Three receptions for Sam LaPorta Sun Sep 14, 06:27 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught three passes for 26 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta was the best fantasy passcatcher for the Lions while they struggled in Week 1, but he wasn't targeted much in a much easier game against the Bears that unlocked the downfield passing game. The Lions did throw a touchdown to a tight end, but it was Brock Wright. LaPorta is still a top five play against the Ravens next week. |

Jaguars | Brian Thomas Jr. targeted 12 times Sun Sep 14, 06:26 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. posted four receptions for 49 yards on a team-high 12 targets in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Thomas had a key drop in the red zone on fourth down that let the Bengals have a chance to win and just didn't look like the player who dominated in the second half of his rookie year. Maybe we should give Mac Jones - who had a great game against New Orleans in a Week 2 win - more credit for Thomas's breakout. It's not crazy to put Thomas on your bench if you have a receiver who has outscored him in both of the first two games because the Jaguars face a big step up in defensive quality against Houston in Week 3. |
Lions | Brock Wright reaches end zone Sun Sep 14, 06:24 PM
Detroit Lions TE Brock Wright caught three passes for 28 yards and one touchdown against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He was targeted three times during the game.

Jaguars | Dyami Brown scores in Week 2 Sun Sep 14, 06:21 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Dyami Brown registered five receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was targeted seven times.
| Footballguys view: Brown also dropped another easy touchdown, so an even bigger game was there. He has been the most valuable Jaguars receiver in fantasy leagues so far, but he and the Jaguars offense should be held in check against Houston next week, who has a much tougher defense than the Panthers or Bengals, the Jaguars first two opponents. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington tops charts in Week 2 Sun Sep 14, 06:16 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington registered five receptions for a game-high 76 yards on five targets in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
| Footballguys view: Washington doesn't have lasting fantasy value, but he and Dyami Brown putting up better stats than Brian Thomas and Travis Hunter has to be distressing for fantasy players who spent for the Jaguars top two receivers. |

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen Jr. totals two touches Sun Sep 14, 06:15 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen Jr. ran twice for 13 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the third-string rookie was not targeted in the passing game.
Link to story Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten scores first NFL touchdown Sun Sep 14, 06:12 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten ran eight times for 42 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding two receptions for 32 yards and his first NFL touchdown on two targets.
| Footballguys view: With the trade of Tank Bigsby to the Eagles, Tuten is the clear RB2 in Jacksonville. He juked a defender out of their jockstrap on his touchdown catch and run and looked like he is going to translate to the NFL field as one of the more athletic backs in the league. He should be picked up in all leagues as a high injury upside backup, but know that a lot of players are going to have good games against the Bengals defense this season. |
Cowboys | Dak Prescott throws 52 times in dramatic Week 2 win Sun Sep 14, 06:11 PM
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott finished 38-of-52 for 361 yards and two touchdowns with one interception in Week 2 versus the New York Giants. Prescott also added 17 yards rushing on three attempts.
| Footballguys view: Prescott didn't really start clicking with his receivers until the second quarter, but more than made up for lost time in the instant classic 40-37 overtime win. He'll face a Bears defense next week that just gave up a fiftyburger to the Lions in Week 2, so he's a solid fantasy QB1 for Week 3. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne rushed 14 times for a game-high 71 yards in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals, while adding two receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Etienne showed Week 1 was probably not a fluke with another strong game against a Bengals defense that shut down the Browns meager running game in Week 1. Etienne is startable in fantasy leagues against the Texans next week, but we should lower expectations across the Jaguars offense in a tough matchup. |

Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence throws three touchdowns Sun Sep 14, 06:07 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence completed 24-of-42 passes for 271 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He also ran twice for four yards while recovering his own fumble.
| Footballguys view: Lawrence had a good fantasy game against the abysmal Bengals defense, but he still made mistakes and seemed out of synch with his receivers at times. He's going to face a much tougher Texans defense next week and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. The Jaguars passing game is going to remain a work in progress. |

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 115 yards and three touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Like the rest of the Lions offense, St. Brown had a huge bounce back game in Week 2. He made it look easy all day facing Ben Johnson, who helped put St. Brown on the map in fantasy leagues when he was the Lions offensive coordinator. There was some talk that Jameson Williams would have a bigger role in the passing game this offseason, but St. Brown resoundingly showed he is still the clear #1 receiver in Week 2. |

Ravens | Rashod Bateman limited to two grabs Sun Sep 14, 06:02 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman posted two receptions for just 15 yards on four targets in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Bateman was an afterthought on an afternoon that Tez Walker and Tylan Wallace caught touchdowns - Walker actually caught two. After signing an extension this offseason there were increased expectations for Bateman, but he can probably be dropped because while big plays may come catching passes from Lamar Jackson, Bateman won't be consistent enough to trust. |

Lions | Touchdown for David Montgomery Sun Sep 14, 06:00 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed for 57 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was very effective against a Bears defense that has had trouble stopping the run and his team scored 50+ points, but he was still only an adequate flex play. He's just bench depth in fantasy leagues. |

Ravens | Mark Andrews mostly invisible Sun Sep 14, 05:57 PM
Baltimore Ravens TE Mark Andrews had just one reception for two yards on two targets in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Andrews just doesn't have the ability to influence the outcome of NFL games or fantasy matchups anymore. He can be dropped. Isaiah Likely could have fantasy relevance when he returns to the field with Andrews doing so little in the Baltimore passing game. |

Lions | Outstanding performance for Jared Goff Sun Sep 14, 05:51 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 23-for-28 for 334 yards and five touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: How good is the Packers defense to shut down Goff and the Lions passing game in Week 1? The Lions didn't seem to miss Ben Johnson at all in the first game against their old offensive coordinator. Goff remains a matchup QB1 who is better indoors, but the scoring potential of next week's game against the Ravens may incline you to put him in your lineup even though the game is outdoors. |

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught one pass for five yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He was targeted two times during the game.
Link to story Ravens | Zay Flowers targeted game-high 11 times Sun Sep 14, 05:41 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Zay Flowers posted game highs with seven catches, 75 yard and 11 targets in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.
| Footballguys view: Flowers didn't catch of the four touchdown passes Lamar Jackson threw and the Ravens cruised to a victory, but he still had a nice PPR game to help fantasy teams. His value is up from his draft cost, and Flower is a borderline WR1 next week against the Lions in what should be the highest scoring game of the week. |

Giants | Wan'Dale Robinson goes off against Dallas Sun Sep 14, 05:36 PM
New York Giants WR Wan'Dale Robinson caught eight of his 10 targets for a career-high 142 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys.
| Footballguys view: Robinson had a decent PPR showing in Week 1, but the Giants offense failed to score a touchdown. He had one of the best wide receiver games of Week 2 in this one with Russell Wilson finding his deep ball accuracy and the Cowboys unable to slow down the Giants passing game. If Robinson is still out there, he'll be a hot pickup heading into a more challenging matchup against the Chiefs. |
Bears | DJ Moore catches five passes Sun Sep 14, 05:33 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore caught five passes for 46 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Moore hasn't been a fantasy disaster through two weeks, but he's not returning the value on his draft cost, and he's not likely to with Rome Odunze emerging as the #1 receiver. Consider Moore an upside WR3/Flex play against the Cowboys next week. |

Ravens | Derrick Henry bottled up in Week 2 Sun Sep 14, 05:32 PM
Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry managed just 23 rushing yards on 11 attempts in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, and he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: The Browns said they weren't intimidated by Henry during the week leading up to this game, and they followed through by shutting him down. Too bad they couldn't put up much of a fight against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens passing game, which hung four scores on them. Henry should be better against the Lions next week. |
