Rams | Kamren Kinchens hits double digits Sun Sep 14, 07:40 PM
Los Angeles Rams S Kamren Kinchens posted game highs with 10 total stops and seven solo tackles in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans.

Los Angeles Rams RB Blake Corum ran five times for 44 yards and his first NFL touchdown in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the pass game.
| Footballguys view: Corum should be added in all but short bench leagues. He could be a matchup flex if he keeps getting goal line carries, and Corum showed more juice than Kyren Williams in the win over the Titans. |

Rams | Jordan Whittington totals two catches Sun Sep 14, 07:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Jordan Whittington had two receptions for 42 yards on two targets in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans.
Link to story Rams | Puka Nacua targeted nine times Sun Sep 14, 07:29 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua ended up with eight receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, while posting a 45-yard touchdown run on his only attempt.
| Footballguys view: Nacua's 45-yard rushing score would leave many running backs envious. The Rams emphasized Davante Adams more early in the game, but Nacua can't be held down for long. He may end up being the most valuable receiver in fantasy football this season - if he and Matthew Stafford can stay healthy. |

Rams | Davante Adams hits triple digits with TD Sun Sep 14, 07:26 PM
Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams posted six receptions for a game-high 106 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans.
| Footballguys view: The Rams wanted to feature Adams more this week, and they did with excellent results. There's no doubt that Puka Nacua is the most valuable receiver in this offense, but Adams can still be good enough to be an every-week high floor WR2 start. He and the Rams will be tested by the Eagles next week. |

Rams | Kyren Williams totals 80 scrimmage yards Sun Sep 14, 07:23 PM
Los Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams ran 17 for a team-best 66 yards in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, while adding two receptions for 14 yards on two targets.
| Footballguys view: Williams gave way to Blake Corum at the goal line, and Corum's touch share was up to about 1/3 of the backfield work, in a bad sign for Williams weekly ceiling going forward. He's more RB2 than RB1 for fantasy, and going against a tough Eagles defense in Week 3. |
Rams | Matthew Stafford just misses 300 yards Sun Sep 14, 07:18 PM
Los Angeles Rams QB Matthew Stafford completed 23-of-33 passes for 298 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, and he ran twice for minus-6 yards.
| Footballguys view: Stafford had a strong game even though his offensive guard duo is banged up and the Titans best defender is a defensive tackle. He got Davante Adams more involved today and showed he can be playable as a QB2/Superflex in the right matchup. Next week vs. the defending champion Eagles is probably not that matchup. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins scores touchdown in Week 2 Sun Sep 14, 07:08 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins posted three receptions for 56 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Higgins had two Jaguar defenders bounce off of him on his long touchdown catch and run to salvage a decent fantasy day. Jake Browning is bold with the football and can keep Higgins a viable WR3/Flex play, but there's no understating the impact of the loss of Joe Burrow for "several" weeks on this offense. |

Bengals | Big stat line for Ja'Marr Chase Sun Sep 14, 07:06 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase ended up with 14 receptions, 165 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Chase may prove to be the kind of receiver that transcends his quarterback play like Randy Moss or Justin Jefferson. It will be a great test of what his value will be without Joe Burrow next week against the team those receivers were drafted by - the Minnesota Vikings. |

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson highly involved vs. NYG Sun Sep 14, 07:05 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson caught nine of his team-high 12 targets for 78 yards in Week 2 against the New York Giants.
Link to story Bengals | Chase Brown mostly stuck in neutral Sun Sep 14, 07:03 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Chase Brown ran 16 times for just 47 yards in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while adding two receptions for 18 yards on three targets.
| Footballguys view: Jake Browning vultured a touchdown or Brown would have been adequate for fantasy, but there's no sugarcoating what the loss of Joe Burrow will do to Brown's fantasy stock. Consider him a low ceiling RB2 against the Vikings next week. |

Cowboys | KaVontae Turpin sidelined by a neck injury Sun Sep 14, 07:02 PM
Dallas Cowboys WR KaVontae Turpin (neck) caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and ran for six yards on two carries in Week 2 against the New York Giants before leaving with a neck injury.
| Footballguys view: It appears Turpin avoided serious injury, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater. He was wearing a neck brace, according to her, though. Slater noted that Turpin's x-rays came out good, which is the most important thing. The Cowboys will surely provide some updates on Turpin as the week moves along. We'll follow up as the week progresses. |
Bengals | Jake Browning throws for 241 yards, two TDs Sun Sep 14, 07:00 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning completed 21-of-32 passes for 241 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in Week 2 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, taking over for the injured QB Joe Burrow (toe). He also ran once for a 1-yard touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Browning will be a top priority on superflex waiver wires, but he's a boom/bust play in 1QB leagues, with a tough matchup against the Vikings next week. He showed he can support Ja'Marr Chase's value, but Browning also had multiple poor decisions that resulted in interceptions and will need to tighten up his play in Week 3. |

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. |

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. |
