Le’Veon Bell gets 31 touches in Week 2.

The Vikings did a real nice job limiting Bell, as he was only able to gain 87 yards on his 27 carries while only gaining four yards on his four receptions. Bell did have a goal line opportunity, but the Vikings plugged up the running lanes all day. Bell will try to get loose and have a big breakout game against a tough Bears front seven in Week 3.

Ben Roethlisberger leads the Steelers to Week 2 win over the Vikings.

Big Ben was in the comfortable confines of Heinz Field and played very well against a tough defense, going 23/35 for 243 yards and two touchdowns. The first touchdown came on a in-breaking route to Martavis Bryant, while the second came on a shuffle pass to JuJu Smith-Schuster. The Steelers scored in every quarter while pretty handily defeating a Vikings team that was without Sam Bradford (knee). Roethlisberger and the Steelers travel to Chicago for Week 3 in what won’t be an easy matchup away from home.

Jairus Wright catches one pass for nine yards in Week 2.

Wright is off the fantasy radar and will contribute more in real life than he will for your fantasy team right now.

Laquon Treadwell catches three passes for 33 yards in Week 2.

Treadwell was targeted six times by Vikings backup quarterback Case Keenum. He’s third for targets among Vikings wide receivers, so Treadwell isn’t a good fantasy option yet.

Adam Thielen catches five of six targets in Week 2.

Thielen had 44 yards, including a long of 24 yards, versus the Steelers. Obviously, Sam Bradford returning will help Thielen be a much better FLEX/WR2 option in Week 3 against Tampa Bay.

Kyle Rudolph leads Vikings in receiving in Week 2.

Rudolph caught four of six targets for 45 yards against the Steelers. It’s good to see him show a high floor even without Sam Bradford in the lineup. Obviously, his upside is higher with Bradford in there, so hopefully the quarterback is good to go for next Sunday against the Bucs.

Mark Ingram totals 76 yards on 12 touches in Week 2 loss.

He rushed eight times for 52 yards and caught four passes for 24 yards, but was held out of the end zone for the second-straight week. Ingram has probably deserved more touches since last season, but Sean Payton wants to give Adrian Peterson and Alvin Kamara work, too. That leaves Ingram as a low-end RB2/FLEX rather than a RB1/RB2, which he has the talent to be. The Saints travel to Carolina in Week 3.
