The former Colts wide receiver’s son was a ghost in this one. Harrison’s lone target occurred on the Cardinals’ sixth drive, but he was unable to secure it. The Cardinals will likely need Harrison to contribute if they hope to put up a fight against the 49ers next week, but at this point, he does not necessarily need to be in starting lineups for 12-team leagues. He can only be viewed as a boom-bust FLEX.21 September 2026
After his two-catch performance in Week 1, Jeudy is off to a roaring start. Denzel Boston has established himself as Cleveland’s de facto No. 1 wideout while KC Concepcion is being force fed the ball on gadget plays near the line of scrimmage. With almost no avenue to fantasy relevance, Jeudy should remain on waiver wires.21 September 2026
David Njoku left the game early with a knee injury and Charlie Kolar followed him to the locker room much later because of a forearm injury. As a result, Gadsden’s route rate jumped from 14 percent in Week 1 to 48 percent today. He still managed just two catches, but Gadsden at least found the end zone for the first time this year. The Chargers offense has looked defunct through two weeks, so even a full-time role for Gadsden could result in middling fantasy numbers. Still, he is worth a look ...21 September 2026
Wilson failed to catch his lone target. The Seahawks’ burly back began rotating in on the team’s fourth drive and traded touches with starting RB Jadarian Price thereafter. On the fifth drive, Price got the first touch on 1st-and-goal, but Wilson subbed in and took three unsuccessful carries in a row, leading to a turnover on downs. That did not deter the Seahawks from using him, though. Wilson remained heavily involved for the rest of the game and generally served as the team’s lead rush ...

Holani got involved late in the game, after starting RB Jadarian Price exited with a chest injury, but it was RB Emanuel Wilson who regularly spelled Price throughout the game, racking up a game-high 21 carries. If Price is sidelined against the Commanders in Week 3, Holani would likely handle passing downs in Seattle’s backfield.21 September 2026
Cousins was intercepted on the Raiders’ opening drive of the game, but no one was necessarily at fault. Cousins threw a well-timed ball to Tre Tucker on an in-breaking route and the speedy receiver slipped while cutting, leaving the pass to sail into enemy hands. The veteran passer needed a few more drives to get in rhythm but eventually began to pick apart the LA defense. He completed four passes of 20+ yards, something he managed just once in Week 1. Cousins remains more of a ball distribut ...21 September 2026
Brissett was seemingly dealing with some sort of thigh issue against the Seahawks. Between the Cardinals’ eighth and ninth drives, Brissett was seen briefly meeting with the training staff, who applied a heating pad to one of his legs. He tried walking after a while, but shook his head and took a seat on the bench until it was time for the Cardinals’ offense to retake the field. The veteran quarterback was constantly under pressure, though he only took two sacks. Brissett threw an intercept ...21 September 2026
Sutton’s lone end zone target was intercepted on a poor throw from Bo Nix. Last week Sutton had just 11 yards on five targets in the Broncos’ season-opening loss to the Chiefs. Jaylen Waddle, with 148 yards in Week 2, has established himself as the clear-cut WR1 in the Denver offense. Sutton will be a touchdown-dependent WR3/4 option in Week 3 against the Rams.21 September 2026
Waddle was targeted on an obscene 42 percent of his pass routes against the Jaguars. He came up a yard short of a long touchdown in the first half and easily led all Denver pass catchers with ten looks from Bo Nix. Broncos OC Davis Webb’s insistence on force feeding Waddle makes the wideout too big to fail in the balanced Denver offense. Despite a letdown of a Week 1 performance against KC, Waddle should be locked into lineups until further notice. He’ll be a top-20 player in Week 3 against ...21 September 2026
The Athletic’s Mike DeFabo penned a rather pessimistic assessment of the Steelers’ current state on Sunday night. We can’t necessarily blame him. The results have been disappointing. Perhaps thinning out the playbook will pay off. McCarthy believes QB Aaron Rodgers “could play with any volume of game plan, but at the end of the day, it’s a team game.” DeFabo notes that the Steelers moved WR DK Metcalf into the slot at times, attempting to avoid Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez’s cov ...21 September 2026
Pierce came up lame on a route on the final play of the first quarter and was escorted to the medical tent by the training staff. He appeared to be unable to put any weight on the injured leg. It’s obviously not what fantasy managers want to see after he missed most of the offseason program following surgery on the ankle on the same leg in late March. He remained in the medical tent for about 10 minutes before being carted to the locker room. Pierce caught his lone target for 11 yards prior t ...21 September 2026
Walker’s lone reception came on a 47-yard deep shot from Lamar Jackson. Walker fought through a DPI to make the catch, but was otherwise a non-factor for the Ravens. His 16 routes run were the fewest of any Ravens receiver who took the field in this one. Any hope fantasy managers had of Walker seeing a meaningful role with Zay Flowers (hamstring) sidelined can be put on hold for now. He will likely revert to being a healthy scratch if Flowers returns in Week 3 against the Cowboys.21 September 2026
Be sure to send Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald a thank-you card for this one. Up 24-7 on 4th-and-goal with just over three minutes left in the game, the Seahawks started a fresh set of downs from the Cardinals’ three-yard line. Both RB George Holani and RB Emanuel Wilson were given chances to punch it in before Seahawks OC Brian Fleury dialed up a Tush Push play for Barner on 4th-and-goal. Barner jumped up and across the line, bringing his fantasy stat line from something unusable to something ...21 September 2026
Ferguson connected with Dak Prescott for a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter when he broke free in the secondary for an uncontested score. After a recovered fumble by the Cowboys in the third quarter,, he and Prescott would link up again for a 12-yard score to put the Cowboys up 27-13 in a game where their team never trailed. This was a far more encouraging outing for Ferguson, who posted a disappointing 2-6-0 line in Week 1 against the Giants. He’ll be on the TE2 radar in Week 3’s ga ...21 September 2026
Strange ran a pass route on 30 of the team’s 36 drop backs but was invisible for most of the game. For now Strange can be treated as a desperation streamer in 12-team formats ahead of the Jags’ Week 3 matchup against the Patriots. He should remain on waiver wires in 10-team leagues.21 September 2026
Achane is the Dolphins’ entire offense, but, unfortunately, opponents know as well. He still looks explosive when he has the ball in his hands and has enough wiggle to make a few defenders miss, but there are defenders cramped in the box every time he touches the ball. The Dolphins try to get him the ball sometimes in the passing game, but he caught just three of six targets from Malik Willis, and those two are not on the same page yet. The positive news is that Achane played on 45 of the tea ...21 September 2026
Washington led the Dolphins’ receivers in targets and was leading the team in receiving yards before one garbage time pass to Ryan Miller. Washington played on 43 of the team’s 56 snaps and ran a route on 26 of their 30 dropbacks, so he has the second-biggest role among the receivers. The issue is that he is not seeing passing down the field, and the Dolphins appear to be unable to move the ball. It’s not a situation to attack outside of the deepest fantasy formats.21 September 2026
Williams tied Dyami Brown for the second-most routes run (24) by any Commanders receiver, but he saw one fewer target than he did in his rookie debut. The rookie receiver came up short on an opportunity for a wide-open touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin on a trick play, which was the closest he came to generating a big play in this one. All three of Williams’ targets came on the second-to-last drive of the game for the Commanders. There’s far too much target competition here to consider Willi ...21 September 2026
Douglas left the stadium in a walking boot, and while it is likely precautionary, it’s certainly something to monitor. The rookie got his ankle rolled up on while blocking late in the second half. He did escape being pinned quickly and was walking on the sideline, so perhaps it’s not a serious injury. Douglas appears to have the WR1 role for the Dolphins, playing on 51 of the team’s 56 snaps and running a route on 26 of Malik Willis’ 30 dropbacks, even counting the time missed with the ...21 September 2026
It’s been a slow start to the season for Bell, who played on 21 of Miami’s 56 snaps and ran a route on 11 of their 30 dropbacks. That being said, many people expected Bell to start the season on the PUP list after tearing his ACL last year in college. The fact that he was healthy for Week 1 and was allegedly not on a snap count caused us to maybe get our hopes up too quickly. The 22-year-old is a talented receiver and could likely end the season as the Dolphins’ best option, but he’s go ...
