Jordan Love sits at 9.76 Adjusted Net Yards per Attempt through two games, a pace just behind Justin Herbert for the league lead and the best Packers mark for a passer with at least 50 attempts. Josh Jacobs has 43 touches, far and away Green Bay s top back, while Savion Williams owns the next best rushing total with 24 yards and the longest 16 yard run this year. Tucker Kraft piled up 124 receiving yards on six catches in a standout Thursday night. Defensively, Xavier McKinney has an unusual pick drought, but Keisean Nixon and Devonte Wyatt delivered multiple plays on the ball, and Edgerrin Cooper is pacing toward an extraordinary tackle total, signaling upside for fantasy managers across both sides of the ball.

Love s efficiency and the backfield dynamics shape fantasy projections beyond the obvious names. Kraft is the breakout TE to monitor, while Williams and Golden offer low ownership paths with potential. The defense s ball production, led by Nixon and Wyatt, adds streamable upside week to week, and Cooper s pace suggests a monster tackle season if the trend continues.

J.J. McCarthy’s NFL debut sparkled with a fourth‑quarter comeback, but his Week 2 showing in Atlanta exposed the Vikings’ offensive line woes and exposed the rookie’s wobbling consistency. He finished 11 of 21 for 158 yards with two interceptions and six sacks, a 37.5 passer rating that trails every starter from Sunday. Minnesota’s hope rests on improved protection, Addison’s looming return, and a brighter floor as they navigate a brutal NFC North slate.

Fantasy managers should view McCarthy as a high‑ceiling, low‑floor asset whose value hinges on play‑calling and pass protection. Week 1’s late surge proves he can produce when given time; Week 2’s pressure gives him a clear path to improvement if Darrisaw returns and the Vikings corral the trenches. The upcoming Bengals game offers a softer landing than Atlanta and could unlock a Risk‑Reward profile worth patience for in deeper leagues.

Packers dominate on short rest, defeating Washington 27-18 at Lambeau, highlighting a young, fast Packers roster while Washington’s aging group struggles to keep up. Daniels faced heavy pressure from a relentless Packers front, with Parsons fueling the defense’s surge. Ertz provided a reliable safety valve for Washington, but the offense stalled most drives. Washington suffered season-ending injuries to Ekeler and Wise Jr., trimming veteran depth as Green Bay’s stability and growth shine for fantasy angles next week.

Week 2 preview: Bears head to Detroit chasing a hot start, with Caleb Williams showing early efficiency before a late hiccup in Week 1. Rome Odunze has momentum as Chicago’s likely top target after nine targets and a TD, and Yahoo backs him as a Week 2 lineup staple against a Lions defense reshuffling after Aaron Glenn’s departure. Detroit’s fast track and the Lions’ adjustments will test Chicago’s air game, making Odunze a core fantasy piece and Williams a risk-reward play on the road.
