  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Even timeshare with Williams

    Corum rushed 12 times for 79 yards and brought in his only target for 13 yards in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

    Corum and Kyren Williams had the exact same number of carries, and the former was just six rushing yards shy of his teammate's total. Corum also was efficient on his one reception, and the 2024 third-round pick, who also recorded 10 carries in Week 1 against the 49ers, appears set to work as a legitimate 1A option in the Rams backfield moving forward. Corum next takes aim at a tough Broncos defense in a Week 3 road showdown on Sunday night.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Major downturn in Week 2 loss

    Nabers brought in one of four targets for one yard in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday.

    Nabers exited late in the first quarter with a right shoulder injury but was able to return before halftime. However, the Giants' air attack saw a major downturn once quarterback Jaxson Dart was forced from the contest after one series due to a knee injury, and Nabers appears to have suffered some of the collateral damage, in addition to whatever limitations his injury may have imposed. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network relays that Dart has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, so it's conceivable the star wideout could face the Titans in a Week 3 home matchup with Jameis Winston once again leading New York's offense. Nabers himself is slated for testing, as he stated following Monday's loss that his shoulder "popped out" and had to be "popped back in" during the game. He'll undergo X-rays to gain more information about the extent of his injury, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

  • Kaytron Allen RB | MIA

    Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Has five carries in garbage time

    Allen logged five carries for 24 yards in the last 3:01 of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

    Allen saw just six offensive snaps in Sunday's game, all in garbage time. The game was well out of reach by the time Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White left the field, leaving the sixth-round rookie to gain more NFL experience.

  • Cam Skattebo RB | NYG

    Giants' Cam Skattebo: Stymied in Week 2 loss

    Skattebo rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.

    Jaxson Dart's first-half exit due to a knee injury naturally put a damper on the Giants offense as a whole, and Skattebo unsurprisingly faced more stringent fronts than he otherwise would have had Dart been in the game. Skattebo did have a solid passing game role as New York trailed throughout, but with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting Dart has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, it's possible the second-year back may play at least Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Titans without his talented teammate.

  • Brian Burns LB | NYG

    Giants' Brian Burns: Suffers low-ankle sprain

    Burns suffered a low-ankle sprain in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    The diagnosis of a low-ankle sprain is welcome news for the Giants' pass rush. Instead of missing roughly 4-to-6 weeks with a more serious injury, Burns could be back for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Titans. The linebacker will need further testing, but it appears the star pass rusher should return to the field sooner rather than later.

  • Kyren Williams RB | LAR

    Rams' Kyren Williams: Scores receiving TD on efficient night

    Williams rushed 12 times for 85 yards and brought in both targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night. He also lost a fumble.

    Williams and backfield mate Blake Corum split the rushing workload right down the middle, and both backs were highly efficient. Williams added a 10-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, but the talented veteran's lost fumble late in the first half on his own 11-yard line led to a Giants field goal. Williams has a rushing and receiving score apiece over the first two games heading into a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Broncos on Sunday night, although his timeshare with Corum does cap his outlook to an extent.

  • George Holani RB | SEA

    Seahawks' George Holani: Logs five touches Week 2

    Holani carried four times for 13 yards and caught his only target for two yards Sunday in a 31-7 victory versus the Cardinals.

    Holani got the third-most offensive snaps (18) among Seattle's running backs, trailing Jadarian Price (24) and Emanuel Wilson (29). Price hurt his shoulder and had to exit the game in the fourth quarter, at which point Wilson took over as the clear lead RB and finished with a strong 21-92-0 rushing line. With that said, if Price is sidelined Week 3 versus Washington, Wilson would likely lead Seattle's backfield, though Holani would stand to see increased opportunities as well.

  • Cardinals' Kendrick Bourne: Catches two targets in loss

    Bourne caught two of his three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

    Bourne played 30 of the Cardinals' 50 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver continues to garner some attention behind leading weapons Trey McBride and Michael Wilson while playing a significant share of the team's snaps.

  • Davante Adams WR | LAR

    Rams' Davante Adams: Stellar output as No. 1 receiver

    Adams secured eight of 10 targets for 195 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night.

    With Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Adams entered the contest projected for an elevated workload, but the veteran wideout exceeded expectations in a spectacular primetime showing. Adams set the tone for a dominant performance early via a 31-yard touchdown reception over the middle late in the first quarter. He'd go on to add an 11-yard scoring grab just past the midway point of the third quarter, and Adams' reception, receiving yardage and target totals all comfortably paced the Rams on the night. The breakout effort was in stark contrast to Adams' quiet three-catch Week 1 tally, but he draws a tough Week 3 assignment on the road against the Broncos on Sunday night, one where he could garner plenty of Patrick Surtain's attention if Nacua remains sidelined.

  • Elijah Sarratt WR | BAL

    Ravens' Elijah Sarratt: Suits up but doesn't play

    Sarratt was active for Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints but did not play any snaps in the contest.

    Sarratt was a healthy scratch for the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts. The wide receiver could not get on the field in Week 2 against the Saints, even with star No. 1 option Zay Flowers (hamstring) sidelined due to injury.
