Bilal Powell doesn’t do much in Week 2.

Powell had six carries for 13 yards against Oakland, and he was outperformed by Matt Forte and rookie Elijah McGuire. Powell obviously has big-play ability as he showed at the end of last season, but he’s logging less than 50% of the work in the Jets backfield and won’t be a fantasy option unless he starts to get at least 12-15+ touches per game.

Cooper Kupp held in check by Washington.

Kupp caught three passes for 33 yards and was on the receiving end of a Jared Goff interception to essentially end the game. The rookie gets a chance to bounce back quickly against the Niners on Thursday night. He’s a solid FLEX option in PPR leagues.

Jesse James catches four of five targets in Week 2.

James had four receptions for 27 yards against the Vikings. He’s been an outlet for Ben Roethlisberger over the first two weeks of the season, and he does offer some solid fantasy potential each week. There are probably better options for Week 3, though.

Gerald Everett caught three passes for 95 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Redskins.

Everett found himself wide open on a nice scramble by Jared Goff for 69 yards, and the second-round pick is now averaging 33.5 yards per catch through two games. While rookie tight ends usually struggle, Everett has a really smart coach scheming him open so far. Still, he’s not a recommended fantasy option in Week 3 and can probably be left on the waiver wire.

Jarvis Landry catches 13 passes in first game of the season.

Landry had 13 receptions for 78 yards as Jay Cutler peppered him with targets in the team’s first regular season game after a Week 1 bye due to Hurricane Irma. Landry looked healthy and those in PPR leagues should be encouraged by the performance. In standard leagues, he remains a low-upside FLEX.

Dak Prescott struggles as Broncos blow out the Cowboys in Denver.

The Broncos completely shut down the running game of Dallas and forced the Cowboys to play from behind—something they aren’t used to. Prescott was 30/50 for 238 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, including a pick-six at the end of the game. He also had three carries for 24 rushing yards, which by far led the Cowboys. Prescott’s two interceptions are already half his total from last season. This was a tough task for a second-year quarterback heading into Denver against that pass defense with the run game not working, so Prescott should be able to bounce back against the Cardinals in Week 3.

Eli Rogers catches four passes in Week 2.

Rogers was targeted seven times in the game, gaining 43 yards on his four receptions. Rogers is worth consideration in PPR leagues, but there should be better options for your lineup.
