Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) exited Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals. He is doubtful to return. With Puka Nacua (knee) sidelined, Kupp was potentially in line for a big showing, especially after his stellar performance versus the Lions. While there's still a chance he could return, it doesn't look good. If the 31-year-old doesn't make it back to the field for the rest of Week 2, he'll finish with four catches for 37 yards, with Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, and Tutu Atwell anticipated to see more attention from Matthew Stafford. Of course, Kyren Williams could also have his number called more than initially planned.

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas did not command a target during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. It has been an underwhelming start to the season for the second-year receiver, who now has just two catches through two games. Many fantasy managers spent a late-round pick on Douglas thinking that he could be a reliable option in the short passing game, but so far, he has been the opposite of reliable. He can be dropped in most redraft leagues as the Patriots employ a run-heavy approach and Brissett throws to the receivers not named Douglas.

New England Patriots wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught one of two targets for seven yards during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Osborn was one of just two Patriots wide receivers who were targeted in the contest. It has become evident that New England will try to win games by running the ball with Rhamondre Stevenson, opting to pass only when absolutely necessary. As a result, Osborn is avoidable in most fantasy leagues despite his starting role in the Patriots' offense. He remains off the fantasy radar heading into Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield didn't have the prettiest stat line, but he was able to do enough on Sunday. Mayfield completed 12-of-19 passing attempts for 185 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the win over the Detroit Lions. He was running all over the field with the Bucs offensive line struggling to contain Aiden Hutchinson who got to Mayfield five times. Mayfield was able to scramble around for 34 additional yards on five rushing attempts with one rushing touchdown. It wasn't as excellent as Week 1, but Mayfield was serviceable for fantasy managers. He should remain a low-end QB1 for Week 3 against the Denver Broncos.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught eight of 12 targets for 109 yards during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. The veteran was the target on nearly half of Jacoby Brissett's pass attempts, showcasing a strong rapport and sense of trust between the tight end and quarterback. Nevertheless, this outcome may have surprised some fantasy managers who expected a quieter game from Henry after he caught just two passes in the season opener. Henry's big Week 2 game gives him plenty of fantasy intrigue ahead of Week 3, but managers should still temper expectations knowing that the Patriots want to employ a run-first approach this year. As a result, Henry is more of a security blanket or reliable veteran option rather than a star target. He can be viewed as a mid-to-high TE2 heading into Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper caught three of his eight targets for 11 yards in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. It was another quiet outing for Cooper, who struggled with drops for the second consecutive contest. Cooper tied for the team lead in targets but was vastly outproduced by Jerry Jeudy, who went for 73 yards on five catches. Overall, the veteran wideout has just five catches for 27 yards through the first two games of the season. With Cooper struggling and with Deshaun Watson taking a liking to Jeudy in the passing game, fantasy managers should downgrade him to a WR4 heading into a Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White failed to do much damage during the Week 2 matchup against the Detroit Lions. White was forced to exit early in the first quarter due to a groin issue. Luckily, White was only out for a few plays, but fantasy managers wouldn't even notice that he came back. The former third-round pick rushed 10 times for 18 yards while hauling in one reception for five yards in the win. It was a bad day for White who was outrushed by fellow back Bucky Irving and even quarterback Baker Mayfield. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as White will get a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos next week. He should be able to bounce back there and hopefully this was a fluke.

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit were busy against the Indianapolis Colts in Green Bay's Week 2 home opener. The Packers forced three interceptions from Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson as he completed 50% of his passes. Devonte Wyatt added the lone sack for the Packers, while Xavier McKinney, Evan Williams, and Eric Wilson added the interceptions in the win. The Packers were excellent throughout, only giving up 10 points to the Colts and being in control through the majority of the game. Next week, the Packers will travel to Nashville to face the Tennessee Titans, where the Packers should be considered a starting D/ST in fantasy football given the turnover-prone nature of Titans' quarterback Will Levis.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught five of his six targets for 73 yards in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Jeudy finished second on the team in targets but led the Browns in receiving yards in the close win over the Jaguars. The veteran wideout has quickly become a favorite target of Deshaun Watson early in the season as he is leading the Browns in receiving yards through two games while outperforming No. 1 receiver Amari Cooper. Jeudy is looking like a solid flex play in fantasy heading into Week 3 against the New York Giants.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) exited Sunday's matchup against the Washington Commanders. The veteran popped up on the injury report on Saturday night due to a groin issue. However, while he initially believed he aggravated the ailment, it was actually a hamstring injury that kept him out for the remainder of Week 2. Gano made both field goal tries during the loss to the Vikings in Week 1, including a 50-yard attempt. But considering his history, fantasy managers may not see him on the field in Week 3 against the Browns, although it's still too early to speculate.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed 11 times for 96 yards during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. He also caught his lone target for a seven-yard game. In total, he had 103 scrimmage yards on 12 touches. The versatile running back was highly productive on Sunday, though nearly half of his yardage came on one 45-yard gain on the ground. Nevertheless, he has shown explosiveness and is starting to earn the trust of the Patriots' coaching staff. He'll continue to operate behind Rhamondre Stevenson against the Jets on Thursday but could sneak into the RB3/FLEX tier in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams.

New England Patriots wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk turned three targets into two catches, 12 yards, and one touchdown during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Even though Polk wasn't very heavily targeted, he actually led all Patriots receivers in targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns in Week 2. In fact, K.J. Osborn was the only other Patriots receiver to even garner a target in this contest. This tells us that New England is committed to employing a run-heavy approach, making the receivers somewhat of an afterthought. Polk is an appealing dynasty target, but he lacks redraft appeal for the time being.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford carried the ball seven times for 64 yards and caught one pass for no gain in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Ford ripped off a 36-yard run on fourth-and-one in the second quarter, setting the Browns up for a 38-yard field goal. Besides that big play, however, Ford was quiet as he lost work to D'Onta Foreman (14 carries) and Pierre Strong Jr. (two touches). Foreman's usage is a concerning development for fantasy managers rostering Ford after he handled all but four of the running-back touches back in Week 1. Ford is looking like more of an RB3/flex option heading into Week 3 against the New York Giants.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brayden Narveson had a solid day at the office in his first game at Lambeau Field since being picked up by the Packers after the preseason. In the Packers' 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, Narveson booted three field goals from distances of 46, 42, and 34, plus an extra point on the Packers' lone touchdown of the day in the first quarter. Narveson also missed a field goal attempt from 45 yards wide right toward the end of the fourth quarter. With Narveson making 6-of-8 field goals on the season, he's starting to make some waves in fantasy football. If you need a kicker in a pinch, the Packers play the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, you can do much worse than Narveson, who has been advertised in his short career. The Packers should need Narveson's services in Week 3, so consider him a low-end streaming option at the position.

Cleveland Browns running back D'Onta Foreman carried the ball 14 times for 42 yards while adding nine yards on one catch in an 18-13 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Foreman led the Browns in carries just one week after playing only one snap in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1. Cleveland appears content to split the backfield work between Foreman and Ford until Nick Chubb (knee) is ready to be activated from injured reserve. For now, Foreman is worth a waiver add in deeper leagues ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made just two catches in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. He was targeted twice, making both catches for a total of 19 yards. Palmer watched Quentin Johnston end up with two touchdowns, but the Chargers only completed 14 passes on 20 attempts, which limited all of their pass catchers. It could be like this for most of the season, which will be a knock for the fantasy value of all of the Chargers receivers. Palmer will have better weeks, but he might have more games like this as well.

From RotoBaller

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs had a solid day given the lack of passing volume afforded to the Packers' pass-catchers in their 16-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Doubs caught all three of his targets for a team-leading 62 receiving yards, capped by a 39-yard strike from starting quarterback Malik Willis early in the fourth quarter. With the Packers only dropping back to pass 19 times and throwing only 14 times, the pass-catchers didn't have too much to work with thanks to the game plan by head coach Matt LaFleur to lean heavily on the run game and an opportunistic defense that forced three turnovers. Doubs and the Packers will head southeast to Nashville to play the Tennessee Titans in Week 3, but Doubs will merely be a flex play in fantasy.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle) exited Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. He played relatively well in Week 2, finishing with 130 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception off 14-for-20 passing, adding six carries for 18 yards. Unfortunately, Herbert sustained an ankle injury, with the signal-caller stating he got "rolled up" during the contest. He was observed limping after the game. Herbert also underwent an X-ray to determine the severity of the injury. However, until the results are released in the next day or two, fantasy managers should prepare heading into the Week 3 outing with the Pittsburgh Steelers. If he doesn't suit up for that one, Easton Stick is the favorite to take over under center.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made four kicks in a Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers. Dicker attempted two field goals, making one from 46 yards out and the other from 42. He attempted three extra points as well, missing one. Dicker tried 35 extra points last season and made all 35, so he got one miss out of the way early this year. He should continue to be a solid and consistent fantasy kicker throughout the season.

From RotoBaller

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 15 of 27 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown, and zero turnovers during the team's 23-20 overtime loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. This was a similar stat line to Brissett's Week 1 finish, with the main difference being that he threw for a touchdown this Sunday. Just as important is the fact that he played turnover-free football for the consecutive week. The veteran isn't a very appealing fantasy option given the Patriots' mellow passing attack, but he has certainly provided plenty of value to the organization with a very solid first two games of the year. He'll face the Jets on Thursday night in Week 3.
