Baker Mayfield, Bucky Irving and Rachaad White sparked a late game-winning drive to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over Houston, sending TB to 2-0 and dropping the Texans to 0-2. Mayfield showed clutch poise while Irving and White fueled the offense in crunch time, hinting at a versatile backfield that'll be fantasy relevant in the weeks ahead.

In the other primetime-like matchup, the Chargers smothered Geno Smith in his home Raiders debut, snagging three interceptions and holding Las Vegas to nine points. The staunch defensive effort puts a spotlight on Chargers D/ST viability and raises questions about Seattle’s passing attack and Raiders’ week-to-week ceiling.

Houston stalls at 0-2 after a 20-19 heartbreaker to Tampa Bay, with a last second Rachaad White TD sealing it. C. J. Stroud urged unity in the locker room as the team faces a Week 3 clash with Jacksonville, seeking to steady a slow start.

Houston has averaged 14 points per game and produced only one passing TD, while the defense has been stout. The OC switch from Bobby Slowik to Nick Caley hints at faster tempo and new route concepts, a potential spark for fantasy managers monitoring every shift.

Texans fall 20-19 at home to Tampa Bay, slipping to 0-2 as the late defense couldn’t close out the two-minute drill. Mayfield’s 11-play drive sealed it after Chubb and Noel jump-started a Houston lead with a punt return and a long TD run. Houston’s run defense surrendered 169 yards, and Stroud’s rhythm with Nico Collins wavered after an early TD. Protection issues reemerged in the second half, underscoring the need for cleaner pockets and sharper tackling to stay competitive.

Offense showed bright spots early, especially Collins on the opening strike, but the passing game needs consistent targets and red-zone execution. If Houston can fix the back-end timing with Collins and tighten late-game protection, they’ll have a clearer path to turning Week 2’s lessons into Week 3 momentum.

Late drama at NRG Stadium: Baker Mayfield escaped pressure on a fourth-and-10 at the Texans’ 32, scrambling 15 yards to keep Tampa Bay alive. Six plays later, Rachaad White capped the drive with a 2-yard TD with six seconds left to seal a 20-19 comeback win. Houston had four sacks on Mayfield but couldn’t close out the drive, raising questions about late-game defense and execution for upcoming fantasy lineups.
