Week 2 brought a brutal reality check for defenses, with six units slipping into the red and two big-name anchors—Denver and Chicago—stuck on the wrong side of the scoreboard. The Broncos allowed a prolific Colts attack to march, while the Bears could not muster anything on either side of the ball. Fantasy managers watched extra points, kicks, and turnover-free drives erase day-long projections.

Key fallout centered on receivers who cooled after Week 1 fire, and running backs whose ground games vanished against stout defenses. Fields exited with a concussion scare, Sutton saw limited downfield looks, and several pivots emerged on the bench as Week 3 approaches. The takeaway: streaming defenses and shoring up high-variance lineups are back in play.

Detroit blitzed Chicago at Ford Field as the Bears drop to 0-2, with Caleb Williams flashing but penalized and turnover-prone. Rome Odunze erupted for 7 grabs, 128 yards and 2 TDs, signaling a fantasy spike. Chicago's secondary and pass rush faltered after Jaylon Johnson left, while Detroit's offense clicked behind Goff's clean day.

The game spotlighted penalties, miscues and coaching decisions that fantasy managers will weigh as Chicago recalibrates for Week 3.
