Kendall Wright leads Bears in receiving in Week 2.

Chicago’s slot receiver received a team-high ten targets and caught seven of them for 69 yards. He’ll be a FLEX option in PPR leagues in Week 3 against the Steelers.

Jordan Howard (shoulder) can’t get anything going in Week 2.

Howard had only seven yards on nine carries against the Bucs. He didn’t receive touches in the second half, but he was in the game. Perhaps because the Bears were down by 26 at halftime and couldn’t get anything going on offense, they decided to abandon the run game early—but Howard certainly would have liked to get more touches in the game. Hopefully Howard gets more work next week against the Steelers, but it’s a difficult matchup so he does have some definite risk while also dealing with this shoulder issue. We’ll see how Howard is listed on the injury report throughout the week.

Tarik Cohen gets 15 touches in Week 2.

The running game for the Bears could not do anything against Tampa Bay, with 16 carries for 20 yards total in the game. Cohen had 13 yards on his seven carries but was able to add 55 yards on his eight receptions (nine targets), though he did lose a fumble in the game. With a clear role on offense, Cohen is looking like a very good option in the FLEX spot for PPR leagues. And with Jordan Howard (shoulder, nine carries for seven yards) banged up, Cohen could get more work next week against the Steelers.

Mike Glennon throws two interceptions in Bears’ loss.

The Buccaneers came out after their Week 1 bye and really limited the Bears on offense. Glennon was 31/45 for 301 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions (including a pick-six), and a lost fumble in the game. Bears head coach John Fox said Glennon is safe as the starter—but things can change quickly. Chicago has another difficult game next Sunday against the Steelers.

LeSean McCoy shut down in Week 2 loss.

McCoy rushed 12 times for nine yards and caught six passes for 34 yards in a defensive battle with Carolina. It was a clear step back from a strong performance against the Jets last week, and Shady will get another tough test against Denver next Sunday. The Broncos just shut down Ezekiel Elliott, but McCoy should remain a low-end RB1/high-end RB2.

Albert Wilson catches two passes in Week 2.

Wilson had 22 yards on his two receptions, while also adding a four-yard carry. On his other target of the game, Wilson could’ve had a huge gain on a slant route but Eagles corner Rasul Douglas made a nice play to deflect it. Wilson is off the fantasy radar for now.

Tyrod Taylor was 17/25 for 125 yards in Sunday’s 9-3 loss to the Panthers.

Taylor also led the team in rushing with eight carries for 55 yards. Buffalo couldn’t do anything offensively as Carolina shut down LeSean McCoy and the running game, but they still had a chance to orchestrate a game-winning or game-tying drive; it ended on a drop by rookie receiver Zay Jones that would have set the Bills up inside the 10, but it was a difficult catch. Tyrod isn’t a fantasy option in Week 3 against Denver.
