Detroit ran up 52 points against Chicago, with Amon-Ra St. Brown leading the way by pulling in three touchdowns and posting an elite 91.6 PFF offensive grade, underscoring his status as a weekly fantasy anchor. Rookie Isaac TeSlaa flashed again, snaring another highlight-reel grab and climbing to 17 snaps in Week 2, signaling a growing role on a high-powered offense.

Defensively, Brian Branch anchored the unit with a sack and a 91.4 grade, while Aidan Hutchinson pressed the edge at 80.8. The Lions’ line and playmakers created a strong floor for fantasy assets across the board, including Jameson Williams, Brock Wright, and Sam LaPorta, as Detroit looks to sustain this high-scoring output and climb in both standard and dynasty leagues.

Fantasy takeaway: TeSlaa’s uptick and St. Brown’s certainty keep Detroit’s passing game a top target stack, with deep-league appeal emerging from TeSlaa. IDP angles brighten for Branch and Hutchinson, while pass-catchers like Wright and LaPorta offer streaming upside in favorable matchups.

Geno Smith struggled in Week 2, finishing with an 0-11 mark on passes of 10+ yards and three interceptions as the Raiders fell to the Chargers 20-9. The offense, led by a slow-starting Chip Kelly game plan, stalled in the red zone (1-7) and left fantasy managers questioning Smith’s ceiling after a hot opener in New England. Ashton Jeanty showed flashes but couldn’t spark a consistent ground attack.

The home crowd, Brady in the box and Carroll’s birthday spectacle added narrative spice, while Khalil Mack and Maxx Crosby anchored the defense and Daniel Carlson delivered a 54-yard FG. Herbert and the Chargers closed strong, leaving Las Vegas with more questions than answers about offense and play-calling. Next up, a Bears visit that will test the Raiders’ consistency at Allegiant.

Key fantasy takeaways: bench/limit Geno until he resets, monitor Crosby’s disruptive upside, and keep an eye on the red-zone usage of Bowers and the offense as a whole. Herbert remains a strong fantasy start, with the Chargers’ defense capable of supporting streaming options in tougher matchups.
