CPR training aided Rams DC Raheem Morris in life-saving Vegas incident

CPR training helped Rams defensive coordinator Raheem Morris rescue an unresponsive 3-year-old in a Las Vegas pool last week.

The child had no detectable pulse when his father removed him from the Encore Las Vegas pool and carried him to a nearby lifeguard, according to Morris' wife, Nicole, who shared the story on Instagram.

Morris rushed to ask the lifeguard where the automatic external defibrillator (AED) was located and ran to retrieve it.

"When I got back, we had a doctor on site that was able to start the compressions. I was able to hand the AED to him, get it open for him, put the pads on the child, and he ended up being OK," Morris told ESPN.

Morris credited his recent training on certified CPR and AED use for knowing the process and protocol for introducing the automatic electric shock device. Use of AEDs and CPR training have become priorities for NFL teams since the January incident involving Bills safety Damar Hamlin, who experienced cardiac arrest on the field and was revived by team training and medical staff using an AED.

"I'm just thankful I knew what to do," Raheem Morris said. "You just never know when you're going to need that stuff."

Nicole Morris said the boy was discharged from the hospital 24 hours later.

Five Fantasy Takeaways: Week 2

Player Notes
Chase Edmonds Sep 15 9:13pm CT
Chase Edmonds

Dynasty | The Commanders have signed running back Chase Edmonds. Dynasty Analysis: Edmonds and Demetric Felton both worked out for Washington today and it was Edmonds who gets the contract. He didn't play last season after last playing for the Bucs but has always offered some juice in the passing game. There could be some short-term appeal here eventually should the platoon of Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Chris Rodriguez and Jeremy McNichols fail to impress but Edmonds is more name than game at this point and not worthy of a roster add quite yet.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Jayden Daniels Sep 15 9:13pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is dealing with a knee injury and could miss this week's game. Dynasty Analysis: While this doesn't look like anything catastrophic, Daniels has had a bit of a slow start to the season, throwing for just 433 yards and three scores with a completion percentage down 6% from last season in two games. There's no need to panic here but dynasty managers will need to see more to keep him in the truly elite group of quarterbacks moving forward.

Carson Wentz Sep 15 9:13pm CT
Carson Wentz

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy has a high ankle sprain and will miss 2-4 weeks. Dynasty Analysis: McCarthy suffered the injury last night and it apparently felt worse this morning. It's of little surprise with him essentially running for his life most of the night as the Falcons laid siege to the Vikings porous offensive line. Carson Wentz will take over for a stretch here and McCarthy will need to get better and show more than he has in the first few weeks to make dynasty managers feel better about his future.

Malik Washington Sep 15 9:10pm CT
Malik Washington

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington had a highlight reel play in Week 2 against the Patriots, returning a punt for a 74-yard touchdown. The second-year receiver finished with only one catch for two yards on two targets and added three carries for 23 yards as well. In a positive sign for his future production, Washington's snap percentage increased from 58% in Week 1 to 61% in Week 2, while the rest of the periphery receivers all saw their snap counts drop. Washington is clearly the third receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and he could continue to work his way into a larger role in an offense searching for answers after a 0-2 start. One important factor to watch this week with Washington, though, is that he did show up on the injury report with a thumb injury and was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation. If he plays on Thursday against the Bills, he has dynamic upside as a playmaker, so keep an eye on his status this week.

Devon Achane Sep 15 9:00pm CT
Devon Achane

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane remains an elite running back option for fantasy football every week despite his team's struggles on offense. The Dolphins didn't open much space for Achane in Week 2 against the Patriots, and he only managed 30 rushing yards on 11 carries. No worries, though! Achane is heavily involved as a pass-catcher and hauled in eight of 10 targets for 92 yards and his second receiving score in as many weeks. Achane is an elite PPR producer in Miami's system, and he has a good matchup on Thursday night against the Bills. Despite his team's drama, offensive struggles, and 0-2 record, Achane is a must-start in all formats every week.

From RotoBaller

Ollie Gordon II Sep 15 8:50pm CT
Ollie Gordon II

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II only had one carry in the Dolphins' Week 2 loss, and his snap share dropped from 25% in Week 1 to 12% in Week 2. To further complicate Gordon's future opportunities, Jaylen Wright (knee) is back to limited participation in practices, which could give him a chance to return this Thursday against the Bills. With Gordon already in such a small role and Wright's return pending, it looks safe to drop Gordon for now in standard leagues. He's still holdable in deep leagues as a handcuff for De'Von Achane since he showed so much upside in the preseason, but Gordon seems a long way from making an impact in Week 3 against the Bills, or for the foreseeable future.

From RotoBaller

Tyreek Hill Sep 15 8:40pm CT
Tyreek Hill

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill turned the page after a disappointing Week 1 with a big Week 2. He only had four catches for 40 yards in the season-opening loss to the Colts, but against the Patriots, he posted 109 receiving yards by catching six of his seven targets. Tua Tagovailoa was more aggressive passing the ball down the field, especially late in the game, but Tua missed Tyreek on a play that could have kept the game-winning drive going. There continues to be plenty of drama with Hill in Miami, but at least with his performance, we know he still has the ceiling to be a productive receiver going forward. This week, he and the 0-2 Dolphins play on a short week against the 2-0 Bills on Thursday Night Football.

Raheem Mostert Sep 15 8:00pm CT
Raheem Mostert

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert is once again a healthy scratch for Week 2 in a Monday night matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Mostert was also a healthy scratch last Sunday in the season-opening win over the New England Patriots. The 33-year-old is buried on the Raiders' RB depth chart early in the year in his first season in Vegas. The Raiders will roll with rookie starter Ashton Jeanty, Zamir White, and Dylan Laube as their top three RBs. Until further notice, Mostert should remain on the waiver wire in all fantasy formats. He's just a year removed from his first Pro Bowl selection in 2023 with the Miami Dolphins, when he produced a career-high 1,012 rushing yards and a league-high 18 rushing touchdowns in 15 starts. Mostert had only 278 rushing yards and two TDs last year, though, and has had trouble staying healthy in his career.

Michael Pittman Jr. Sep 15 7:50pm CT
Michael Pittman Jr.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. turned in a modest outing in his team's 29-28 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 2. After an encouraging Week 1 that saw him catch six balls for 80 yards and a touchdown, Pittman caught four of his five targets for just 40 yards against the Broncos. Of course, Pittman had to contend with lockdown corner Patrick Surtain II for much of the afternoon, which may have led Daniel Jones to look elsewhere when he dropped back to pass. With a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Pittman is likely to operate as a decent WR4 with upside moving forward.

Brock Bowers Sep 15 7:50pm CT
Brock Bowers

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is officially active for Monday night's divisional clash in Sin City against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Bowers suffered a knee injury in the Week 1 win over the New England Patriots and was listed as questionable for Week 2 on Saturday's final injury report. The 22-year-old second-year tight end will be wearing a brace on his left knee against the Bolts and shouldn't be limited, so fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him on Monday night will have him available. If Bowers is limited at all, it will open up more opportunities for fellow TE Michael Mayer, who is more than capable of having a decent game for any tight end streamers. Bowers had five catches for 105 yards in the season opener before injuring his knee, and he's already one of the best TEs in football in his sophomore campaign.

Tyler Warren Sep 15 7:40pm CT
Tyler Warren

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren continued to show he's a focal point of the team's offense in a 29-28 Week 2 win over the Denver Broncos. Warren caught four of his seven targets for 79 yards while taking one carry for no gain in the close win. The rookie tight end is off to a torrid start to his NFL career, compiling 11 catches on 16 targets for 155 yards thus far. Warren is safe to treat as a solid, mid-range TE1 in fantasy leagues going forward. He will look to continue his hot start in Week 3's road matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

From RotoBaller

Josh Downs Sep 15 7:40pm CT
Josh Downs

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs disappointed in Week 1, catching just two passes for 12 yards in a win over the Miami Dolphins. Fortunately for his fantasy managers, Downs looked more like his usual self in Week 2, hauling in six of his eight targets for 51 yards against the Denver Broncos. With the Indy offense humming along with Daniel Jones under center, Downs should continue to string together productive fantasy outings, especially in PPR leagues. He should be treated as a high-end WR3/flex option heading into a Week 3 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Jerry Jeudy Sep 15 7:30pm CT
Jerry Jeudy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is off to a decent, yet unspectacular, start to the 2025 season. Through two games, Jeudy has caught nine of his 16 targets for 117 scoreless yards as the Cleveland offense has struggled mightily thus far. The veteran's receiving yardage is good enough to lead the Browns so far, showing just how much moving the football has been an issue. Jeudy will look to break out at home in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have been tough on defense thus far, as they shut down the Detroit Lions' receivers in Week 1 and gave up just 92 receiving yards and a touchdown combined to Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel in Week 2. Jeudy is looking like a WR4 in fantasy unless the Browns can straighten out their offensive issues.

Cedric Tillman Sep 15 7:20pm CT
Cedric Tillman

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman continued to show a nose for the end zone in his team's lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Tillman was mostly quiet, but he salvaged his afternoon with a fluky 18-yard touchdown grab to finish with a two-catch, 22-yard line in the loss. The veteran wideout has now scored in each of his two games to open the season, as he has carved out fantasy value as a flex/WR4 type in leagues. Tillman will hope to keep it going in a tough Week 3 home matchup against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers might want to temper expectations due to the difficult matchup.

From RotoBaller

David Njoku Sep 15 7:20pm CT
David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is off to a slow start in 2025. After his four-catch, 40-yard performance in a lopsided Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Njoku has just seven catches for 77 scoreless yards through two games. Meanwhile, fellow Cleveland tight end Harold Fannin Jr. has officially become a concern for Njoku's fantasy managers as the rookie has outproduced the veteran with 12 catches for 111 yards. Njoku is likely to bounce back, although a struggling Cleveland offense led by an ineffective Joe Flacco doesn't offer much hope for upside. Njoku will hope to get his season on track in Week 3 against a Green Bay Packers defense that has given up big games to Sam LaPorta (six catches for 79 yards) and Zach Ertz (six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown) this season. Njoku is worth a look as a low-end TE1 in fantasy thanks to the favorable matchup in Week 3.

Quinshon Judkins Sep 15 7:10pm CT
Quinshon Judkins

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins made his long-awaited NFL debut in a Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Judkins was initially only expected to play a handful of snaps, but he ended up handling 10 carries for 61 yards while adding three receptions for another 10 yards while relegating Jerome Ford to a backup role. The rookie running back should continue to see a larger role in the Cleveland backfield going forward after missing all of training camp. A Week 3 home matchup against the Green Bay Packers will be a tough test for the Cleveland offense, but Judkins is looking like a solid, high-end RB3 heading into that contest.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Sep 15 6:20pm CT
Marvin Harrison Jr.

While Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said he's not concerned about the amount of targets that second-year wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. gets, he knows that his being involved is what is best for the offense. "I know he's got to touch the football for our offense to play at its premium," Gannon said. Harrison had five catches on six targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 win over the New Orleans Saints, but he caught only two of five targets for 27 yards in the Week 2 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Cardinals got out to a big early lead and took their foot off the gas pedal in an eventual 27-22 win, so Harrison wasn't really needed. Harrison and quarterback Kyler Murray reportedly worked on their chemistry this offseason, but it hasn't looked great through two games. Fantasy managers will be expecting a bounce-back game in Week 3 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers.

Jauan Jennings Sep 15 6:00pm CT
Jauan Jennings

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (ankle) injured his ankle in the Week 2 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday and will be evaluated day-to-day through this week, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. It's been one thing after another for Jennings health-wise since offseason workouts, when he suffered a calf injury. The 28-year-old missed most of training camp and all of the preseason after aggravating his calf issue before injuring his shoulder in the season-opening win over the Seattle Seahawks. The good news is that he looked healthy and operated as the WR1 on Sunday against the Saints, catching five of 10 targets for 89 yards and his first touchdown of 2025. Jennings will at least be in play as a WR4/flex if he's active in Week 3 against the division-rival Cardinals, but if he's out or limited, Ricky Pearsall would be the top target for quarterback Mac Jones.

Matthew Stafford Sep 15 6:00pm CT
Matthew Stafford

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 23 of his 33 pass attempts for 298 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. The veteran signal caller was quite productive on the road, finishing just a couple of yards away from a 300-yard, two-touchdown performance. He put together this dominant showing despite Los Angeles leading for more than half the game. In a situation where some teams might run the ball more, Stafford was still given an opportunity to rack up passing yards. He also did so against a solid Titans pass defense that intercepted Bo Nix twice just one week earlier. Stafford's lack of rushing upside is unfortunate, but fantasy managers should rest assured that there's no concern about Los Angeles deviating from a pass-heavy approach while leading in future weeks. He's firmly in the mid-range QB2 conversation for Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Darren Waller Sep 15 5:40pm CT
Darren Waller

Although Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) is not expected to make his debut with the team in Week 3 on Thursday night against the division-rival Buffalo Bills, the Dolphins listed him as limited on Monday's practice estimation. Waller has yet to practice this year and has been inactive for the first two weeks, so his limited status on Monday doesn't mean a whole lot on a short week. The 33-year-old was focusing on his conditioning for all of training camp and the preseason before suffering a hip injury right before Week 1. Whenever he is finally cleared to make his 2025 debut after coming out of retirement, the Dolphins will likely limit his snaps, making him one to avoid in starting fantasy lineups. The Dolphins are expected to move forward with Julian Hill and Tanner Conner at the position on Thursday, but neither TE is a realistic fantasy play.
