Rhett Ellison catches two passes in Week 2.

Ellison gained five yards on his two receptions versus Dallas. He’s not a fantasy option at the moment.

Ryan Tannehill throws two touchdowns in Dolphins’ win.

Tannehill played another efficient game, going 17/23 for 168 yards and two touchdowns while adding eight carries for 44 yards. He also lost a fumble in win. The first touchdown was a laser pass to Albert Wilson working back in the middle of the end zone, and the second was to A.J. Derby for 19 yards to put Miami up 20-0 on the Jets. Tannehill should be a high-floor option in Week 3 against the Raiders.

Tavon Austin catches 64-yard touchdown in Week 2 win over the Giants.

Austin was able to get behind Janoris Jenkins on the game’s opening drive, and he finished with two receptions for 79 yards, also adding a 15-yard rush. The former first-round pick will probably make big plays like he did on Sunday Night at least a couple more times this year, but they will be unpredictable. He’s not a recommended fantasy option.

D.J. Moore scores first career touchdown in 31-24 loss to the Falcons.

It came in the fourth quarter on an impressive 51-yard catch and run to bring Carolina within seven points, and the rookie also rushed once for seven yards. Moore should make some more plays this year as a receiver, runner, and returner, but he doesn’t have much weekly value in redraft leagues behind Devin Funchess, Torrey Smith, and Jarius Wright on the depth chart.

Sterling Shepard catches three passes against the Cowboys.

Shepard gained 24 yards on his three receptions (five targets) in the Sunday night loss. Shepard is off to a relatively slow start to the year with eight receptions for 72 yards through two games, but he should get going soon. Next week against Houston is a good matchup.

C.J. Anderson rushed three times for 31 yards in Sunday’s loss to Atlanta.

The veteran ripped off a 22-yard run on one of his attempts, but he also was on the receiving end of a costly interception that bounced off his hands in the fourth quarter. Anderson has looked good as a runner to start the season, but we think Christian McCaffrey should and will get more weekly touches, especially after the costly turnover against the Falcons. Consider the Panthers’ No. 2 back a handcuff with limited standalone value.

Cody Latimer catches two passes in Week 2.

Latimer gained 41 yards on his two receptions, including a nice catch on a 37-yard pass down the field. Latimer is doing a good job as the No. 3 receiver for the Giants, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option.
