Marlon Humphrey’s blunt look at Baltimore’s defense signals a maturity reset after week one’s meltdown, stressing accountability and doing your job over hero plays.

In the Ravens-Browns crossover, Flacco’s return, Garrett’s edge pressure, and Judy’s jab at the Ravens’ secondary set a tense Week 2 narrative. For fantasy, watch how front-seven leverage and clock control shape opportunities and volume for key playmakers.

Overall, it’s a test of identity: Ravens up front and disciplined defense vs Browns’ defense-led grind, with the winner likely dictating early AFC North tone.

Bo Nix faces a suddenly tough Indianapolis defense, which limited big-passing outputs in Week 1. Nix’s dink-and-dunk profile—4.4 yards per attempt and a notably low depth of target—keeps him outside the top-15 projection this week, suggesting a cautious fantasy approach unless you’re chasing a high-floor, low-ceiling streamer.

Daniel Jones burst Week 1, but a tougher Denver unit awaits, and the game carries a 42.5 over/under, signaling limited scoring. Jones likely won’t replicate his ceiling, making him a riskier play in standard formats. Rodgers faces Seattle’s pressure-heavy plan, which could curb his upside, while Tua Tagovailoa’s Week 1 showing against Indianapolis offers a reminder that matchup matters even for high-powered offenses.

Colts defense allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards in Week 1 and held Tua to sub-6 fantasy points, underscoring why this week’s games tilt toward cautious lineups and safer bets at quarterback. The overall tone is to temper expectations for high-ceiling weeks and lean on safer floor options wherever possible.

Colts lean on Jonathan Taylor in a run-heavy clash with Tennessee, with Tyler Warren looming as a sleeper in the Colts’ short-week plan. Ridley faces a stout Rams corner and pass rush, but remains a buy-low long-term bet as Lawrence’s offense looks to gel. Nico Collins was limited by the Rams last week, CJ Stroud lives with pressure from LA, and Mooney, London, and Pitts offer flexible upside as the slate unfolds.

Sunday Night headlines: Ridley’s matchup, Lawrence’s ceiling, and the Rams’ disruptive front shape a week of crucial lineup calls for fantasy managers targeting upside without overpaying for risk.
