Week 2 fantasy decisions hinge on rebound potential for Pacheco, Mason, and Swift. Pacheco faces a stingy Eagles front and could see his workload grow, while Mason has momentum in Minnesota and looks poised to seize bellcow duties. Swift must translate earlier flashes into efficient carries and strong pass-game work against Detroit, still offering PPR upside.

Beyond these three, Judkins, Warren, Ridley, Odunze, Olave, Williams, and Meyers offer viable flex or streamer appeal, depending on format and roster depth. The analysis emphasizes workload, matchup, and efficiency to guide Week 2 starts and sits.

The Oklahoma Sooners’ defense dominated Temple 42-3, riding a relentless, high-energy tempo that Venables compared to recess. OU hasn’t allowed a point in the first or fourth quarter this season, while stifling Temple to 104 yards and 3 points. The offense was efficient but not spectacular, with Mateer guiding the unit and a breakout 100-yard performance from Tory Blaylock. The win underscored OU’s depth and the defense’s intense camaraderie, a vibe fueled by Poles’ carryover idea of playing with joy.

OU’s physical, back-and-forth style produced turnover-free, penalty-light football and a roster-wide rotation that kept every starter fresh. Temple’s totals collapsed after a promising spring and a strong early performance, and OU’s attack still produced 515 yards. The team’s defense, described as “recess” by players, seems on a mission to build an elite, cohesive unit for the season ahead.

Caleb Williams' Bears debut showed electric early moments but faded late, leaving Chicago with questions about pace and accuracy. Ben Johnson's lofty target of 4,000 yards and 70% completion remains a bold bet, even as Williams' Week 1 numbers drift from that ceiling. The upcoming showdown with Detroit dwarfs the drama, raising the fantasy stakes around Williams' rushing upside and the offense's rhythm.

For fantasy managers, Williams' dual threat keeps upside intact, but must be weighed against the volatility of a young passer behind a developing supporting cast. If the Bears fix timing and target distribution, the 4,000/70% path stays alive; if not, Week 2 could intensify the conversation around role clarity and potential roster tinkering.
