Lawrence completed 17 of 29 passes for 189 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for six yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Lawrence helped lead the Jaguars to a 10-3 halftime lead and 13-6 advantage after three quarters, but the Broncos' defense progressively exerted its will and ended up holding him to a 52.4 QBR while sacking him twice. Lawrence's interception was also costly, as it came late in the third quarter at the Broncos' 33-yard line and led to a Denver touchdown. The drop-off in performance for Lawrence compared to Week 1 was fairly drastic, and the 2021 first overall pick will face another high-caliber defense in a Week 3 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.

Pierce is set for further tests on his left heel Monday, but X-rays returned negative after he exited Sunday's game against the Chiefs in the first half, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Pierce caught his only target for 11 yards prior to exiting the game. He came up lame while running a route and was subsequently carted to the locker room. Pierce's left heel injury is perhaps connected to an offseason ankle surgery that prevented him from practicing prior to September. Further details on Pierce's injury will be provided prior to the Colts' Week 3 home game against the Texans.

Concepcion caught all six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Bucs. He added one rushing attempt for minus-6 yards.

Concepcion's six targets tied Harold Fannin for second on the team, finishing one behind Denzel Boston, who proved again to be the big-play threat for the Browns, finishing with a 5-95-1 receiving line. Concepcion is running the majority of his routes from the slot, but his average depth of target was a microscopic 1.8 yards Sunday. It's going to be difficult to produce big yards when catching the ball basically at the line of scrimmage. Through two games, Concepcion has 10 catches for 71 scoreless yards on 11 targets. He gets a boost in PPR formats as a WR4/5 headed into next Sunday's date with the Panthers.

Washington brought in seven of 12 targets for 98 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 12 yards and fumbled once but recovered.

Washington led the Jaguars across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also posting a game-high 32-yard catch. The fourth-year wideout has picked up right where he left off during his breakout stretch run and postseason in 2025, as he's quickly put together a 12-181-1 line on 18 targets over his first two games. Washington will remain a focal point of the Jaguars' air attack in a second consecutive marquee matchup in Week 3 at home against the defending AFC champion Patriots.

Meyers secured his only target for 28 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.

On a day Trevor Lawrence threw for just 189 yards on 29 attempts, Parker Washington and Brian Thomas combined to see 20 of those targets. Meyers dealt with a thumb injury during the practice week but still led all wideouts with 54 snaps against Denver, running a team-high 29 routes. Through two games, Meyers has just three catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on three targets. He's tough to get behind as anything more than a fantasy WR4 ahead of next Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Clemons (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against Kansas City.

Clemons suffered a toe injury at some point during the second half of the contest, and his availability for the rest of the game is now unclear. In his absence, JT Tuimoloau could see an increase in opportunities on the defensive line.

Tuten rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and brought in both targets for minus-3 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

Tuten worked as the Jaguars' clear lead back for the second time in as many games to open the season, even though his rushing workload was relatively modest Sunday. Tuten got into the end zone for the first time this season on a one-yard run early in the second quarter, and he was efficient overall against a high-caliber defense. Tuten figures to remain in the same role for a Week 3 home showdown against the defending AFC champion Patriots next Sunday.

Ward (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Chiefs, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Ward suffered a groin injury in the second half, and his status for the stretch run is now uncertain. In Ward's absence, Cam Taylor-Britt will stand to step into a prominent role in the secondary with Indianapolis.

Rodriguez rushed six times for 13 yards in the Jaguars' 20-13 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.

For the second straight game to open the season, Rodriguez operated as the clear RB2 for the Jaguars behind Bhayshul Tuten, who rushed 13 times for 65 yards and a touchdown as the lead back. Tuten also out-targeted Rodriguez two to zero. Through two games, Rodriguez has a meager 36 yards on 12 carries, averaging a pitiful 3.0 yards per carry. He's not usable in fantasy ahead of a tough Week 3 date with New England.

Lloyd rushed six times for 20 yards in the Packers' 20-17 overtime win over the Jets on Sunday. He added two catches for six yards and a touchdown on two targets.

Lloyd got the start out of the backfield for Green Bay and scored his first career regular-season touchdown with a six-yard catch in the second quarter. That's the good news. The bad news is Lloyd played a total of just 16 offensive snaps and lost a fumble deep in his own territory early in the fourth quarter. He never touched the ball again following the fumble, as Kaleb Johnson took over as the early-down back in overtime, with Chris Brooks remaining the preferred option in passing situations. Lloyd gets a dream matchup with the Falcons on Thursday night, but it's fair to wonder about his role headed into that Week 3 contest.
