— Baltimore's Crockett Gillmore (4 percent owned in Yahoo) had two touchdowns for a team needing receiving threats,Off White Nike Vapormax 2018.
Washington's divisional trip to New York could reveal whether it's staying with a run-heavy attack. That could mean plenty of carries for both Morris and Jones, but fewer chances for receiver Pierre Garcon and tight end Jordan Reed in the passing game.
— Oakland's Derek Carr (15 percent owned in Yahoo) had 26.34 points by in a huge day against the Baltimore defense that shut down Denver in Week 1.
OBSERVATIONS FROM WEEK 2
LOOKING AHEAD TO THURSDAY
— Green Bay's Ty Montgomery (4 percent owned in ESPN) could see more reps with starter Davante Adams battling an ankle injury.
So now what?
The carnage included injuries and bad performances from marquee players so widespread that they almost certainly affected your teams.
At quarterback, Dallas lost Tony Romo to a broken collarbone, Chicago lost Jay Cutler to a hamstring injury and Detroit's Matthew Stafford is banged up.
Hoping to tweak your lineup? Here are some possible waiver additions to consider:
— It's hard to know what's coming from longtime producer Roddy White in Atlanta. A week after grabbing four passes for 84 yards, he went catchless and with one target. The beneficiary was Leonard Hankerson, who had a TD catch and 11 targets behind Julio Jones.
As for the Giants, Eli Manning found Odell Beckham Jr. for a big day in Week 2. They could use some production on the ground from one of their running backs: Rashad Jennings, Shane Vereen and Andre Williams.
That was the reaction — the printable version, anyway — of fantasy football players as bad news kept rolling in during Week 2.
— New England sure likes the versatile Dion Lewis (40 percent owned in ESPN),Wholesale China Jerseys. He had 13 touches for 138 yards and a touchdown against Buffalo despite LeGarrette Blount's return from a one-game suspension.
The problems at running back weren't limited to injuries to Green Bay's Eddie Lacy and San Francisco's Carlos Hyde. There were high-profile flops such as Seattle's Marshawn Lynch (62 total yards) and Cincinnati's Jeremy Hill (benched for two fumbles), while Philadelphia's DeMarco Murray is off to an awful two-game start (21 carries for 11 yards).
TIGHT ENDS
— Cleveland's Travis Benjamin (6 percent owned in ESPN) is a boom-or-bust guy, but he's got three scoring catches of at least 50 yards and a 78-yard punt return for a score.
— Hello Matt Jones! Washington's buzzed-about rookie (16 percent in ESPN) split carries with Alfred Morris in Week 2 and ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns. His workload might fluctuate, but he's got upside in a run-heavy approach.
— Denver's offense is a work in progress. Peyton Manning showed some life at Kansas City out of the shotgun, and that boosted wideouts Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. But C.J. Anderson's running struggles aren't helping and could mean more work for backup Ronnie Hillman.
QUARTERBACKS
RUNNING BACKS
— If Lacy is limited or out with his ankle injury, James Starks (8 percent owned in ESPN) could have a heavy workload for the Packers.
— Others to watch: Atlanta's Hankerson (4 percent owned in ESPN), Miami's Rishard Matthews (2 percent owned in Yahoo) and Oakland's Michael Crabtree (23 percent owned in Yahoo).
RECEIVERS
— Buffalo's Tyrod Taylor (15 percent owned in Yahoo leagues) scored 25.98 points in standard leagues against New England by accounting for four touchdowns to offset three turnovers.
HELP WANTED
Welp.
Tune out the bubbling panic and remember: you drafted them for a reason,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, whether for talent,Cheap Nike Air Max 90 Mens Trainers, their fit in an offense or both. Kneejerk trades rarely pay off unless you're targeting an underperformer,NFL Jerseys China, and another week might make clear whether to ride it out or start dealing.
— Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis offense are out of sync early,Cheap NFL Jerseys China. The Colts committed five turnovers in Monday's loss to the New York Jets and have eight in two games. And offseason additions Frank Gore and Andre Johnson haven't made the expected impact yet.
— Detroit's Eric Ebron (20 percent owned in ESPN) has two touchdowns in two games. |
