Drew Brees tosses two touchdowns in Saints’ win.

New Orleans’ offense started slow against the Browns, with just three points through three quarters. But they turned it on with 18 fourth-quarter points in a three-point Week 2 victory the Browns. Brees was 28/35 for 243 yards and two touchdowns in the win, with both scores going to Michael Thomas. The Saints face the Falcons in Week 3 in what could be a potential shootout, and Brees remains a very strong fantasy option for that matchup.

David Njoku catches two passes in win over the Jets.

Njoku caught two passes for 36 yards in the 21-17 victory. Despite the modest night, the second-year tight end trailed only Jarvis Landry in receiving yards, and his season-long outlook gets a huge boost with Baker Mayfield replacing Tyrod Taylor as the starter. Now is the time to buy-low on Njoku, who faces the Raiders in Week 4.

Marcus Murphy handles four touches in Week 2 loss.

Murphy rushed three times for six yards and caught a seven-yard pass. He also put the ball on the ground, but recovered it. The 26-year-old would form a committee with Chris Ivory if LeSean McCoy went down.

Jarvis Landry catches eight passes for 103 yards in Cleveland’s first win since 2016.

Landry also completed a pass to Baker Mayfield on a two-point conversion. The productive slot receiver didn’t have the cleanest game in the world with a drop, another pass that he could have caught go off his extended hands, and an unnecessary block in the back that wiped out a game-winning touchdown (Cleveland ended up scoring anyway), but he was unsurprisingly the clear focal point of the passing attack. Landry gets a slight boost with Baker Mayfield under center as an upgrade for the entire offense, and he looks like a weekly WR2 in standard leagues and a borderline WR1 in PPR leagues.

Chris Ivory scores in Week 2 loss.

Ivory rushed two times for seven yards, including a goal-line score in the second half. He also added a 30-yard reception. The veteran back looks like the preferred short-yardage option for Buffalo, but he isn’t a recommended fantasy play and might not even be a worthwhile handcuff behind a sub-par offensive line.

Chris Herndon catches two passes in Jets’ loss.

Herndon had -1 yard on his two receptions (two targets), as he was mostly an outlet for Sam Darnold. None of the Jets tight ends are recommended weekly fantasy options, but the rookie tight end should be held in dynasty leagues.

Darren Fells catches both Week 2 targets.

Fells gained 15 yards on his two receptions in a Browns loss. He’s a solid real-life contributor but not a reliable fantasy option.
