Jamison Crowder caught four passes for 47 yards in Sunday’s win over the Rams.

Crowder and the Redskins have gotten off to a poor start offensively, and the group clearly doesn’t have as much chemistry as a season ago. Teams have been able to focus on Crowder with Jordan Reed banged up and Terrelle Pryor ineffective, but hopefully a favorable upcoming schedule will allow Crowder to get on track. He is a player that might cause problems for the Raiders in Week 3, so Crowder will be a good WR2 option.

Dwayne Washington (quad) leaves MNF and is questionable to return.

Washington appeared to hurt his quad on offense and then he appeared to aggravate it on special teams. It doesn’t look like he’ll be retuning to the game, but he hasn’t officially been ruled out yet. He had three carries for nine yards before leaving.

Seahawks struggle again offensively as they squeeze by the Niners in Week 2.

The offensive line struggled again, as Russell Wilson was sacked three times by the 49ers in the game and had to make a lot of plays with his legs when protection quickly broke down. Overall, he was 23/39 for 198 yards and a touchdown, along with 12 carries for 34 yards on the ground. The touchdown was hard to come by, as it came in the fourth quarter on a pinpoint pass in the end zone on a comeback route to Paul Richardson. Despite the slow season start, Wilson has seemingly done this every year for the past few years. There’s definitely a chance he starts picking it up and becomes a top-level option at the position, as he has in the past. Wilson plays his first game against Marcus Mariota as Seattle goes to Tennessee for Week 3.

Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) is active for Monday Night Football against the Lions.

OBJ was on the field and warming up like there’s nothing wrong with him, so expect him to be full-go tonight as helps the Giants try to avoid an 0-2 start to the season. Although he said it’s a 6-8 week injury, this shouldn’t be an issue for Beckham moving forward. Fantasy owners can insert OBJ right into their lineup and hopefully keep him there for the rest of the season (except for his bye week).

Samaje Perine handles 22 touches as he takes over for an injured Rob Kelley.

Perine rushed 21 times for 67 yards and caught a pass for no gain. The rookie back was seemingly in the doghouse after fumbling in the preseason, but Jay Gruden had no problem feeding him after Kelley went down. Early indications are Kelley might have a fractured rib, so Perine needs to be added in all fantasy leagues with that expectation in mind. He’d be an immediate RB2 in standard leagues and a FLEX option in PPR leagues. Kelley looked good on Sunday, but Perine probably has more talent. It’s possible he takes over the backfield if given the opportunity.

Rob Gronkowski says his groin injury is “nothing serious.”

Gronk talked to reporters and said he’s “super relieved” the injury isn’t bad and said he’s day-to-day. He might miss some practice time this week, but expect the All-Pro to be out there in Week 3 against the Texans.

Trent Taylor catches two passes in Week 2.

Taylor was only able to gain six yards on his two receptions, but the 49ers struggled as whole through the air. He gets the Rams in Week 3 (Thursday Night Football).
