Jared Cook gets four targets in Week 2.

Cook had four receptions for 25 yards versus the Jets. He’s been targeted a good amount by Derek Carr through two games and will have some big weeks, but there are better options at tight end with the Raiders offense running mostly through Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree, and the running backs.

Taylor Gabriel caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday’s win over the Packers.

Gabriel had a quiet night despite the team scoring 34 points, as they had a defensive touchdown and the running backs combined for three scores. With five catches for 50 yards through two games, there’s a chance Gabriel breaks one against the Lions in Week 3. Still, there are probably better fantasy options.

Marshawn Lynch scores first touchdown as a Raider in Week 2 win.

Lynch had 12 carries for 45 yards and the touchdown while adding a four-yard reception. He also gained attention (again) when he danced on the sideline like it was a club. Lynch and the Raiders play the Redskins in Week 3 on Sunday night.

Mohamed Sanu plays great in Falcons’ Week 2 win.

Sanu was a reliable target for Matt Ryan over the middle, catching five of six targets for 85 yards. Sanu has had some success against the Packers over the past two years—as have the Falcons in general. The Falcons take on the Lions next week in a potential high-scoring game, and Sanu offers a nice floor in PPR leagues in that matchup.

Travis Benjamin held to one catch in Week 2 loss.

It went for 11 yards. Benjamin is no higher than the fifth option in the Chargers offense, so there will be more quiet weeks than big ones. He isn’t a recommended fantasy option against the Chiefs next Sunday.

Julio Jones caught five passes for 108 yards in Sunday night’s win over Green Bay.

Jones and the passing attack didn’t have to do much, as the Packers couldn’t keep up after Jordy Nelson (quad) went down. Had it been a full-fledged shootout, Julio probably would have exploded. He is an every-week top-two option, including next week in Detroit against the Lions.

Cordarelle Patterson runs for long touchdown in Raiders’ Week 2 win.

The electric receiver/returner had three carries for 57 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown from the shotgun on an inside zone run. Patterson also added one reception for six yards. He’s a dynamic weapon and was quite the acquisition for Oakland, but it’s hard to trust him in your fantasy lineup.
