Miami is 0-2 after a 33-27 loss to New England, with late turnovers stalling a potential comeback. McDaniel deflects talk of job security, focusing on fixes to substitutions and timing. Tagovailoa voices frustration with crunch-time calls, while Achane flashed late but the drive stalled. With Bills on Thursday, fantasy managers will weigh the offense’s reliability and volume as Miami searches for a quick bounce-back.

Week 2 pivots for fantasy rosters center on Jauan Jennings, Baker Mayfield, Chase Brown, Malik Nabers, De'Von Achane, Rashid Shaheed, Geno Smith, Brock Bowers, Calvin Austin III, and Amon-Ra St. Brown. Jennings' Week 2 status hinges on Kittle’s absence, boosting his target floor if active. Mayfield remains a mid-range QB1 in a pass-heavy setup as Tampa Bay leans through the air. Brown, Nabers, and Achane carry upside in high-scoring games; Shaheed stays a boom-bust option; Smith, Bowers, Austin III, and St. Brown anchor rosters with solid floors.

Defenses and matchups in Week 2 shape starts across the board. The Who Should I Start tool highlights four-player comparisons to optimize lineups, with injury status, volume, and schedule as key inputs. The overall guidance leans into upside where the schedule allows, while preserving safe floors for standard and PPR formats.

SportsLine's Week 2 model flags two big TD avenues: De'Von Achane for the Dolphins and Ja'Marr Chase for the Bengals. Achane, the clear Miami back, carries an 88% TD probability against the Patriots, while Chase sits at 74% for Cincinnati's matchup with Jacksonville. Brian Thomas Jr. of Jacksonville adds plus-money value at 70% to score, as does Chase at -130 and Achane at -127. A $10 parlay at +572 is highlighted, with promos boosting new-bettors’ returns.

The model underscores target share and matchup dynamics as the driver of TD upside, noting Chase’s past heavy workload and Thomas’s role in the Jaguars’ passing game. It also points to RJ White’s strong Week 2 track record and parlay opportunities that could land big payouts for savvy players through DraftKings and FanDuel promos.

In short, the Week 2 landscape leans toward efficient offenses and defined roles, with the model emphasizing value in high-usage players at favorable odds and encouraging careful bet selection around game flow and quarterback health.
