Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze is putting together a strong second season in the Windy City. He hauled in six receptions and scored a touchdown in the season opener. Odunze was able to top that performance this Sunday. He snagged seven of his 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. Odunze scored both touchdowns in the first half as the Bears tried to keep this a competitive game. It was an ugly loss for Chicago, but it's good to see Odunze and quarterback Caleb Williams building solid chemistry together. For Week 3, Odunze should be on the WR2 radar for their matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. A defensive unit that just got carved up for 450 yards by Russell Wilson.

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson came ready to prove the doubters wrong during Sunday's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. After a lackluster season opener, there was some speculation that Wilson would be benched in favor of rookie Jaxson Dart. The Giants stuck with Wilson and he gave them a great bounce back performance on Sunday. Wilson completed 30-of-41 passing attempts for 450 yards, with three touchdowns, and one interception in the overtime loss. Everything was going Wilson's way until he threw what looked like a miscommunication interception to end the game. The Giants did lose this game, but this performance should keep the heat off Wilson for a little longer. We'll see if he can carry this momentum into next week's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase bounced back in a major way during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Chase was quiet in the season opener with only two receptions for 26 yards. He looked much more like himself during Sunday's Week 2 contest. Chase hauled in 14 of his 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown in the win. Surprisingly, a majority of Chase's production came after Joe Burrow (toe) exited the game. Jake Browning was able to find Chase with ease throughout the second half. The expectation is that Burrow is going to miss multiple weeks due to a turf toe issue. His absence should decrease the value of Chase, but clearly Browning and Chase do have good chemistry. Even without Burrow, Chase is a locked-in WR1 for Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was outstanding on the field during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Goff bounced back in epic fashion after a lackluster performance in the season opener. Goff completed 23-of-28 passing attempts for 334 yards with five touchdowns in the blowout victory. Yes, you read that correctly, Goff threw five touchdowns in this game. Goff went out and showed former Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson that he's doing just fine without him. He tossed a pair of touchdowns to Jameson Williams while Amon-Ra St. Brown found the end zone three times on Sunday. Now, Goff will head into a tough test against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Given his performance this week, fantasy managers should view Goff as a QB1 for next week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown put together an unbelievable performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday. St. Brown was fairly quiet in the season opener with four receptions for 45 yards in the Week 1 loss. He completely exploded in Week 2 giving fantasy managers an epic afternoon. St. Brown hauled in nine of his 11 targets for 115 yards and three touchdowns in the win. The Bears secondary had absolutely no answers for St. Brown all afternoon long. The superstar wideout recorded his first career three-touchdown game. The Lions offense erupted for 52 points, but we'll see if they can keep it going next week against the Baltimore Ravens. St. Brown should be viewed as a mid-range WR1 for that one.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) is believed to have suffered turf toe during Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Jeremy Rauch of FOX 19. Burrow also suffered torn ligaments and is expected to miss several weeks. The former No. 1 pick exited during the first half and did not return. He finished Week 2 with seven completions, 76 yards, and one passing touchdown. With Burrow expected to miss significant time, Jake Browning will take over as the Bengals' primary quarterback. Browning led the Bengals to a victory Sunday, but it wasn't pretty as he threw three interceptions.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers caught nine of his 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Nabers delivered two acrobatic touchdown grabs on deep passes from Russell Wilson, carrying his team to an overtime thriller before New York ultimately lost on a game-winning field goal. The former first-round pick has quickly developed a strong rapport with Russell Wilson, which should prove to be beneficial as the Giants throw the ball a lot while playing from behind. Nabers remains a high-end WR1 option heading into Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dynasty | Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow left Sunday's game early with a toe injury. Dynasty Analysis: Burrow was slow to get up after a sack and many thought he had some kind of high ankle sprain. Instead, he was ruled out with an apparent toe injury. If it's turf toe, this can be tricky and he could be in a similar boat as Brock Purdy and thus looking at a multi-week absence. It certainly didn't have the looks of a season-threatening ailment but stay tuned to see just how long he may be out. Jake Browning could make for a decent streamer in the meantime.

Dynasty | Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins had 61 rushing yards, three catches and ten receiving yards in a loss to the Ravens. Dynasty Analysis: The Browns were manhandled by the Ravens but Judkins was one of the few bright spots for Cleveland on the day. He led the Browns running backs in terms of touches and looked like the best playmaker the Browns have. Expect his carries to increase as it looks like he's poised to pass Jerome Ford already. His rookie ranking will be on the rise but a possible suspension looms large.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku posted four receptions for 40 yards on five targets in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Spin: Njoku has had a couple of mediocre stat lines through the first two games. He has to contend with rookie Harold Fannin Jr., and it is hurting his fantasy value a bit. Right now, Njoku looks a lot more like a TE2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams than a must-start option, especially since the Cleveland QB play is mediocre, too.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) was seen wearing a boot and walking with crutches following Sunday's Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Burrow exited during the first half and did not return. He finished Week 2 with seven completions, 76 yards, and one passing touchdown. If the postgame scene is any indication, it appears the quarterback's injury is considered serious, and he could end up missing some time. If so, Jake Browning would take over as the Bengals' primary quarterback. Browning led the Bengals to a victory Sunday, but it wasn't pretty as he threw three interceptions. We'll likely get more information on Burrow's status after the team conducts additional medical testing.

New York Giants QB Russell Wilson finished 30-of-41 for 450 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson also ran for 23 yards on three carries.

Fantasy Spin: What started as a field goal fest through 1 1/2 quarters quickly turned into a shootout. Wilson turned back the clock a few years against a shorthanded Dallas secondary, connecting on several deep balls - including 48 yards to Malik Nabers (TD), 50 yards to Wan'Dale Robinson and 52 yards to Darius Slayton. Wilson's only mistake was a costly one, as he threw one of his patented moon balls to no one in particular late in overtime. Nevertheless, he undoubtedly bought himself some more time as the starter ahead of rookie Jaxson Dart with this performance, although he remains no more than a fantasy QB2 in Week 3 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney (Panthers) visited with the Dallas Cowboys, and owner and general manager Jerry Jones announced after the Week 2 game against the New York Giants that the veteran will be signing. Terms of the deal are undisclosed.

From TheHuddle

Cleveland Browns QB Joe Flacco completed 25-of-45 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens, and he ran once for eight yards.

Fantasy Spin: Flacco was very mediocre against his former team, and it is par for the course, in terms of fantasy appeal. He should be treated as nothing more than a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 3 and beyond.

New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor went 7-for-11 for 56 yards and one touchdown against the Buffalo Bills in Week 2 after replacing QB Justin Fields (head). He also rushed for 21 yards on three carries during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Taylor may be the starting quarterback for the Jets in Week 3 depending on the status of Justin Fields, so fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation. Taylor has had some success during his career but will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts games.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers TE Jonnu Smith ended up with four receptions for 27 yards on four targets in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Spin: Smith is battling incumbent veteran Pat Freiermuth for targets among the Pittsburgh tight ends, and right now it is essentially a 50-50 split, limiting the fantasy effectiveness of both players. For now, consider Smith as a high-end TE2 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

From TheHuddle

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 18-of-33 passes for 203 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. His TD to WR DK Metcalf was the 508th of his career, tying former teammate QB Brett Favre for fourth place all-time in the NFL in passing touchdowns.

Fantasy Spin: Rodgers rolled up some huge totals in Week 1 against his former team, the Jets, but he took a step back in Week 2, and he was a little more mistake-prone, too. This is why, despite his big showing in the opener, why he should continue to be treated as a QB2 in most fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams.

From TheHuddle

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (head) has officially been diagnosed with a concussion following Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Buffalo Bills. He was taken to the locker room in the second half to be evaluated, leaving Tyrod Taylor as the Jets' primary option under center. Fields finished Sunday's game having completed three of 11 pass attempts for 27 yards through the air, and he also added 49 rushing yards. The Jets will have one week until their next game, which leaves very little time for Fields to recover and clear concussion protocol. If he can't get healthy in time, Taylor would be in line to start at quarterback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Baltimore Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (groin) suffered a groin injury during the Week 2 game and is considered questionable to return.

From TheHuddle

Seattle Seahawks WR Cooper Kupp pulled down seven balls for 90 yards on nine targets in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Fantasy Spin: Kupp didn't have a great team debut in Week 1 against the 49ers, but he looked like himself in Week 2. Kupp remains a high-volume pass catcher and a tremendous PPR option in most fantasy leagues. He should be treated as a WR3 or flex fantasy option in standard play.
