  • Cowboys' Brandon Aubrey: Makes all seven kicks in Week 2 win

    Aubrey went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made all four PATs in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

    It was a needed rebound game for Aubrey after he made just two of three extra-point tries in the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Giants. Typically drafted as the top fantasy kicker over the summer, Aubrey put up a big line against Washington, with his field goals coming from 25, 44 and 60 yards. He'll get a Week 3 home date with the Ravens next Sunday.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN

    Broncos' J.K. Dobbins: Hoping to play Week 3

    The Broncos are optimistic that Dobbins sustained only a minor hamstring injury during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars and will be available to play Week 3 versus the Rams, James Palmer of Bleacher Report reports.

    Dobbins has been far from a picture of durability during his seven-year NFL career, but early indications are that his latest setback on the health front isn't anything significant. The Broncos haven't provided word that Dobbins will be sent in for an MRI, and the team likely will use his activity in practices Wednesday through Friday to determine his availability heading into next Sunday's game. With RJ Harvey (hamstring) inactive against the Jaguars and with Dobbins making an early exit, rookie Jonah Coleman (10 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown, three catches for 19 yards) ended up finishing the contest as the Broncos' top option out of the backfield.

  • Dallas Goedert TE | PHI

    Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Set for tests on knee injury

    Goedert (knee) is slated to undergo an MRI on Monday after exiting Sunday's 24-20 win over the Titans, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Goedert played 19 snaps on offense and recorded a four-year reception on two targets before sustaining the knee injury in the second quarter. Though the Eagles deemed Goedert questionable to return, he never ended up checking back into the game and now is set to undergo further testing as the team looks to determine the severity of his injury. If the knee issue keeps Goedert from suiting up in the Eagles' Week 3 matchup with the Bears next Monday, Johnny Mundt (2-8-0 receiving line, 64 percent snap share Week 2) would be the next man up at tight end.

  • Chiefs' Xavier Worthy: Five catches in Week 2 win

    Worthy brought in five of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

    Worthy finished third in receptions and targets on the night for the Chiefs, but he was fifth in receiving yards and well behind fourth-place Kenneth Walker's 61 yards. However, Worthy was able to salvage his fantasy line against Indianapolis with a one-yard touchdown reception late in the second quarter. The speedster saw Tyquan Thornton vulture some downfield targets Sunday night, and Worthy is now averaging a tiny 5.4 yards per catch over his first eight receptions of the new season. The 2024 first-round pick will look to break through downfield in a Week 3 road matchup against the Dolphins' vulnerable defense.

  • Travis Kelce TE | KC

    Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Signature showing in OT win

    Kelce secured nine of 11 targets for 101 yards and one touchdown in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

    Patrick Mahomes was in vintage form Sunday night, and Kelce unsurprisingly was a big reason why. The legendary duo was in sync throughout the night, and it helped Kelce to team-high figures in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran tight end has posted a combined 12-172-1 line on 16 targets over his first two games, making him a top option at his position in all formats as a tantalizing Week 3 road matchup against the Dolphins approaches next Sunday.

  • Rashee Rice WR | KC

    Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Robust yardage total in OT win

    Rice brought in four of six targets for 83 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

    Rice finished with the Chiefs' third-highest receiving yardage total and turned in a 31-yard grab along the way. The 2023 second-round pick's boost in production was a welcome sight for fantasy managers after he'd managed a 2-19-1 line in Week 1, and given Patrick Mahomes already looks close to full health after last December's season-ending knee injury, Rice's outlook as Kansas City's No. 1 receiver should only get brighter as the season unfolds. Rice and the rest of the Chiefs' offense is in a premium spot in Week 3, as they'll pay a visit to the winless Dolphins next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Vintage performance in OT win

    Mahomes completed 32 of 47 passes for 382 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing twice for 17 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

    Mahomes put together a pristine final line that saw the multi-time MVP generate elite numbers while connecting with seven different targets. Two of Mahomes' most trusted options Sunday night were tight end Travis Kelce and running back Kenneth Walker, but he also recorded a total of 13 completions to wideouts Rashee Rice, Tyquan Thornton and Xavier Worthy, the latter who was also on the receiving end of one of Mahomes' three scoring strikes. The other two TD tosses went to Travis Kelce (13 yards) and Jalen Royals (one yard), and Mahomes' passing yardage total was his highest regular-season tally since Week 7 of the 2023 season. Mahomes will be teed up for another potentially rewarding performance when the Chiefs visit the winless Dolphins next Sunday.

  • Chiefs' Kenneth Walker: Thrives with massive workload

    Walker rushed 24 times for 117 yards and brought in six of 10 targets for 61 yards in the Chiefs' 33-30 overtime win over the Colts on Sunday night.

    Walker had a tall order in front of him in terms of matching his spectacular Chiefs debut against the Broncos on Monday night, but the offseason addition was able to make up for a lower rushing total by putting together a stellar showing as a receiver that included a clutch 22-yard reception on Kansas City's game-winning drive. Walker wasn't shabby on the ground by any stretch, either, and he's quickly amassed 290 rushing yards and his 60-yard touchdown in Week 1 as a runner while also offering plenty of value as a pass catcher with a 9-79-1 line on 16 targets. Walker's workhorse usage underscores how integral he is to the team's offensive plans, making him an elite option in all formats for a Week 3 road matchup against a highly beatable Dolphins defense next Sunday.

  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Colts' Keenan Allen: Held to one catch in Week 2

    Allen caught one of five targets for five yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Allen failed to capitalize on the first-half exit of fellow Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel). Dating back to last season with the Chargers, the 34-year-old Allen is mired in a 12-game regular-season touchdown drought, during which he has exceeded 44 receiving yards only once. Snapping that funk won't be easy in Week 3 against the Texans.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Seven catches as Pierce (heel) exits

    Downs caught seven of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

    Downs paced the Colts in targets, catches and receiving yards in a game that Alec Pierce (heel) exited in the first half. Pierce was the Colts' leading receiver last season, ahead of Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman (foot) and Downs. With Pierce hurt and Pittman now in Pittsburgh, Downs has a clear path to significant target volume from Daniel Jones in Week 3 at home against the Texans.
