Demarcus Robinson scores in Week 2.

Robinson had a very nice three-yard touchdown catch in which he tight-roped the back of the end zone to keep his feet in bounds. It was the first touchdown reception of Robinson’s career, and his only of the game. He’s an excellent fourth receiver for the Chiefs but is obviously off the fantasy radar for now.

Julio Jones (calf) did not practice on Wednesday.

Jones is probably just being rested for a big divisional matchup against the Saints as much as anything else, so fantasy owners shouldn’t lose sleep over this. We’ll update his status tomorrow, but Julio is fully expected to be out there on Sunday as an elite WR1.

Chris Conley scores in Week 2.

Conley caught a post from the slot for a 15-yard score on one of Patrick Mahomes’ three first-quarter touchdowns against the Steelers. Conley fumbled his only other reception of the game, and ended up with two receptions (on two target) for 17 yards, a touchdown, and a fumble lost in the win. The athletic Conley is a valuable member of Kansas City’s offense, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Derrick Henry (back) was limited in practice.

This probably isn’t a big issue, but it’s worth noting. The Titans are already banged up as a team this season. Hopefully Henry is back to a full participant tomorrow.

O.J. Howard scores 75-yard touchdown in Week 2 win.

Howard showed his unfair combination of size and speed on a catch and run in the second quarter of Tampa Bay’s victory over the Eagles, as he simply outran everyone with some help from Chris Godwin leading the way. The Alabama product finished with three receptions for 96 yards and a score, but he was also at fault on a dropped pass that was boosted into the air for an interception. Fortunately, it didn’t cost the Bucs, who are rolling at 2-0 heading into a meeting with the struggling Steelers. Howard is worth considering as a TE1 option after Travis Kelce stung Pittsburgh for 109 yards and two scores on Sunday.

Josh Gordon (hamstring) was limited in practice.

This was the first practice as a Patriot for Gordon, who is reportedly expected to play on Sunday night against the Lions. It’s no lock, though, and we’ll see if he can get up to a full practice participation by Friday.

Tyreek Hill scores in Week 2.

Hill was third on the team in receiving, but he caught five-of-six targets for 90 yards and a touchdown in the victory against Pittsburgh. The score was on a 36-yard deep ball in which Hill broke free with a good release at the line. The fact that it felt like a quiet game for Hill yet he still had 90 yards and a touchdown indicates how good of a fantasy option he is right now. There are simply too many weapons for the defense to cover when things are clicking for Kansas City. Keep Hill in lineups for Week 3 against the Niners.
