Mike Gillislee rushed 19 times for 69 yards and one touchdown in Sunday’s win over the Saints.

Rex Burkhead started again, but Gillislee was the guy New England went to when they got a big lead. He now has four touchdowns through the first two weeks, and he looks like an every-week RB2 as long as he doesn’t make any big mistakes that would jeopardize his role. The Texans present a tough matchup in Week 3, but unless you have a lot of options, you should keep Gillislee in the lineup.

Jack Doyle catches all eight targets in Week 2.

Jacoby Brissett certainly liked throwing Doyle’s way in his first start with the Colts. Doyle led the team with eight receptions and 79 yards against Arizona. He’ll look to build on that heading into Week 3 against Cleveland. Doyle should be a very good TE1 option, as the Browns have struggled to defend tight ends so far this year.

Tom Brady torches Saints in 36-20 victory.

Brady was 30/39 for 447 yards and three touchdowns, picking apart New Orleans with a variety of different targets. All three scores came in the first quarter, as he found Rex Burkhead for a 19-yard score to start things off, then let Gronk catch-and-run for a 53-yard touchdown, before finishing things off with a 13-yarder to Chris Hogan. Had the Saints been able to keep up, it would have been an even better performance from Brady and the Pats. Still, fantasy owners can’t complain, as Brady showed he’s still the best. He should make easy work of a banged-up Houston secondary in Week 3.

Cardinals shut down rookie Marlon Mack in Week 2.

After a very solid first professional game last week, Mack could not find any room to run against the Cardinals. He had six carries for -3 yards, but he did add an 11-yard reception. Mack is worth rostering for Gore owners, but he doesn’t have much standalone value on an offense that’s struggling without its quarterback.

Robert Turbin gets four touches in Week 2.

Turbin carries three times for 11 yards and had an eight-yard reception. Frank Gore is the clear lead guy in Indy’s backfield, so Turbin doesn’t have much fantasy value right now. When Andrew Luck returns, it should give a boost to everyone including Turbin, though.

Frank Gore scores in Week 2.

Considering the difficult matchup versus Arizona, Gore had a very good day, rushing 14 times for 46 yards and a touchdown. He obviously has more upside with Andrew Luck in the lineup, but Gore is still a FLEX option until he returns. The Colts face the Browns in Week 3.

Marqise Lee caught seven passes for 76 yards in Sunday’s loss to Tennessee.

Lee is the best fantasy option on the Jaguars besides Leonard Fournette, and he should be rostered in all leagues as the team’s #1 receiver. Blake Bortles could make him a frustrating play, though, and Lee should stay on the bench for next Sunday’s matchup with the Ravens.
