Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers turned back the clock in Week 1, completing 22 of 30 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns in the Steelers' 34-32 win over the New York Jets. The 42-year-old quarterback completed passes to seven different receivers in Week 1 and looked fantastic in offensive coordinator Arthur Smith's scheme. Rodgers faces the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2, which should be an electric atmosphere in Acrisure Stadium. The Seahawks allowed the 13th fewest fantasy points in 2024 and forced two interceptions off 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. While the early excitement surrounding Rodgers and the Steelers' offense is evident, Rodgers should be on fantasy benches this week.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman has low-end starter/flex potential that could be worth a waiver-wire add in deeper PPR formats, especially. The third-year receiver had a nice Week 1 in which he tied for a team-best eight targets with five catches and a touchdown, but his role on the offense is still likely to be secondary over the course of the season. Cleveland's top receiver is still Jerry Jeudy, and the Browns are likely to be near the top of the league in time spent with multiple tight ends on the field due to David Njoku and breakout rookie Harold Fannin Jr. Further, rookie running back Dylan Sampson also had eight targets in Week 1, and Cleveland will be adding running back Quinshon Judkins into the fold at some point, too. Tillman certainly has shown potential, but Cleveland, per usual, is a volatile and unpredictable situation.

Fantasy managers who selected Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers (knee) in their drafts this year may want to consider the waiver-wire potential of Raiders tight end Michael Mayer, who figures to be the beneficiary if Bowers is unable to play Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. The third-year pro had a nice showing in Week 1, catching all four of his targets for 38 yards after Bowers exited the game. Bowers told reporters that he wasn't overly concerned about the injury, although the Raiders' final injury report will not be released until Saturday, and there is a possibility he won't be ruled out until Monday, after most games have been played. In the event Bowers is looking unlikely to play, there will be a rush to add Mayer, who has been a capable receiving option in his own right.

Long a productive fantasy wide receiver, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is once again showing he can be a starting option in his first year back with L.A. After a big Week 1 that included 10 targets and a touchdown catch, the veteran naturally saw a big uptick in waiver-wire adds and managers inserting him into starting lineups, and for good reason. At age 33, Allen fell in drafts following a chaotic season with a Chicago Bears team that started a rookie quarterback and fired its coach mid-season. Now with an organization with stability at coach and quarterback, Allen has consistent WR3/flex potential. It's clear that Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert trusts him, and after Week 1, it's also clear there's more than a little left in the tank.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) remains an intriguing waiver-wire option despite the injury as his team is set to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. The talent has always been visible for the LSU product, but the third-year pro appears to be developing a real chemistry with New England quarterback Drake Maye. Boutte finished the 2024 season with 16 catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns in the final three games, and started 2025 with a 103-yard showing. The Pats brought in Stefon Diggs and still roster DeMario Douglas, both of whom are factors, though Boutte is showing legitimate fantasy potential. His shoulder ailment is worth watching in Week 2, but he's shown some season-long potential that could strengthen a manager's bench.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (wrist) is off the team's injury report, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapport. Washington coach Dan Quinn downplayed the QB's throwing-wrist injury earlier this week, and it appears his lack of concern came to fruition, as Daniels will suit up when Washington takes on Green Bay on Thursday Night Football. The Washington offense was slow to start in an unremarkable season-opening win against the New York Giants, but Daniels remains one of the very best options in any fantasy format due to his consistent rushing ability. He's still a starting option even against a tough Packers defense.

According to Ian Rapport of the NFL Network, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will miss the next 2-to-5 weeks with turf toe. Purdy appeared on the team's injury report with a toe and left shoulder injury on Wednesday. However, it seems this injury is more serious than expected, and the team's QB1 could miss up to the next two weeks of action. As a result, Mac Jones is slated to serve as the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. In the season opener, Purdy went 26-for-35 with 277 passing yards and two scores en route to defeating the Seattle Seahawks. Last season, Jones saw starting opportunities filling in for the injured Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville. Jones averaged 205.5 passing yards in the eight games in which he logged more than 40 offensive snaps in 2024. He projects to be a risky QB2 in all fantasy formats in Week 2, facing the Saints.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the NFL has begun a review of the recent domestic violence allegations against Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Florio noted that this is standard policy for the NFL. Hill's estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, accused Hill of eight instances of domestic violence. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor this situation as the league could look to discipline the wideout after this investigation concludes. In the season opener, Hill had a quiet day as the entire Miami offense had struggled, as he caught just four of his six targets for 40 yards. Hill had a disappointing 2024 season as well, tallying just 959 yards and six touchdowns. For the time being, Hill is not in any danger of missing their contest on Sunday against the New England Patriots.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (abdomen/groin) was listed as a full participant during Wednesday's practice session. The 28-year-old appeared to have suffered this injury in the fourth quarter of their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings. However, seeing him log a full practice on Wednesday suggests the 28-year-old is not in any danger of missing their next game against the Detroit Lions. In their loss to the Vikings, Moore caught three of his five targets for 68 yards. Second-year wideout Rome Odunze appears to have emerged as Caleb Williams's top target as he saw nine targets in this contest. Despite this, Moore projects to be a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in a potentially high-scoring game against the Detroit Lions this Sunday.

According to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson may look to give rookie running back Kyle Monangai more opportunities in the future. When asked about Monangai's usage on Monday, given that he logged nine snaps without any carries, Johnson expressed that "I need to call more runs" and "I need to call more so that we get him in the game a little bit more. That's something EB and I have talked about, making sure he has more carries going forward." In their season opener against the Vikings, veteran D'Andre Swift ran the ball 17 times and caught three passes. Monangai, the seventh-round rookie out of Rutgers, caught his lone target for 11 yards. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should consider stashing Monangai as it appears he could carve into Swift's role as the season progresses.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins was slated to practice with the team on Wednesday, but was unable to attend as he was meeting with league officials regarding his domestic battery arrest that occurred in the summer. Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network noted that Judkins plans to practice on Thursday and Friday, and the team will determine his availability for Sunday's contest. Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reported that there has yet to be a definite timeline regarding his current investigation with the league. As a result, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but the former second-round pick may miss Sunday's game as well if he is unable to be built up to game speed over the next few days. If he were to sit out, fellow rookie Dylan Sampson would likely serve as the leader of the backfield once again in Week 2.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones put together an unbelievable season debut on Sunday. He completed 22-of-29 passing attempts for 272 yards with one touchdown. Jones didn't stop there as he rushed seven times for 26 yards with an additional two scores. I don't think anyone had Jones scoring three touchdowns on their opening week bingo card. It will get more challenging for Jones in Week 2 against a tough Denver Broncos defense. After that, Jones will play the Titans, Rams, and Raiders. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another three-touchdown game for Jones in Week 2. However, he could be an interesting long-term option given the Colts do play some lackluster defenses early in the season.

Tennessee Titans running back Kalel Mullings (ankle) wasn't able to do much of the field during the season opener. He appeared in only a handful of snaps before exiting with an ankle injury. Now, Mullings is opening Week 2 on the sideline for Wednesday's practice. The absence of Mullings leaves Julius Chestnut as the lone backup behind Tony Pollard right now. Mullings will still have a few more days to practice before needing to make a final decision. The rookie back isn't someone that is going to offer much value right now, but is worth stashing in dynasty formats. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for another update on his status.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (groin) logged a full practice session during Wednesday's practice. This is good news after Coleman was battling a groin injury throughout last week. The groin issue didn't stop him in the season opener as he recorded eight receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown in the win. The second-year wideout appears ready to take the next step this season. It appears Coleman and quarterback Josh Allen have improved chemistry from last season. It was only one game, but this could be a breakout year for Coleman. The 22-year-old should be started in most fantasy formats after that 112-yard season opener.

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram (calf) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans. Engram was pulled out of the contest with a calf injury and didn't return. Now, Engram will open the week as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It doesn't sound like the injury is too serious, so the Broncos are probably just being extra cautious. Barring any setbacks, Engram should be out there versus the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (calf, rest) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. This shouldn't come as a surprise after McCaffrey dealt with a calf issue all throughout last week. It didn't stop him from playing as he rushed 22 times for 69 yards while hauling in nine receptions for an additional 73 yards in the season opener. He opens the practice week on the sideline, but that is probably for rest purposes. The 49ers want to give McCaffrey time to fully heal his calf issue. Fantasy managers should expect McCaffrey to be out there for Week 2. He'll remain an elite RB1 as long as he can stay healthy.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus looks to keep his solid run going in Week 2 as the Packers host the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. McManus kicked two field goals from 38 and 34 yards out and converted all three of his extra point attempts in Week 1 as the Packers beat the Lions 27-19. In the regular season, McManus has missed just one kick in his Packers' career, so he's been reliable. Given that the Packers are on a trajectory to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the NFL, McManus should get plenty of opportunities in the future for Green Bay. He's startable in leagues with a kicker slot if you didn't get one of the top kickers in your draft.

Los Angeles Rams OT Rob Havenstein (ankle), OG Kevin Dotson (ankle), OG Steve Avila (ankle), WR Davante Adams (rest) and TE Colby Parkinson (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. TE Davis Allen (knee) was a limited participant.

Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring) and DT Grady Jarrett (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring), CB Josh Blackwell (groin), RB Roschon Johnson (foot) and WR Jahdae Walker (ankle) were limited during practice. WR DJ Moore (abdomen, groin) and CB Jaylon Johnson (calf, groin) fully participated in practice. The Bears only held a walkthrough Wednesday, so the report is an estimation.

Tennessee Titans S Quandre Diggs (hand), OT JC Latham (hip), RB Kalel Mullings (ankle) and DT T'Vondre Sweat (ankle) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 10. LB Arden Key (pectoral), CB L'Jarius Sneed (knee) and S Kevin Winston Jr. (hamstring) were limited during practice.
