Quinshon Judkins faces a cautious NFL debut for Cleveland in Week 2, but fantasy managers should temper expectations. Limited practice time suggests a small early workload behind Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford, with Sampson handling most of the receiving work. In half-PPR he’s a low-end flex/RB3; in full-PPR his upside is capped until a bigger role emerges. Bench him in most leagues, monitor every update for potential Week 3 involvement.

Week 2 pits the Cincinnati Bengals against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a clash that could hinge on run-first balance and big-play ability. Cincinnati eyes a sharper defense and Burrow-led offense, while Jacksonville leans on Lawrence’s arm and Etienne’s workload to accelerate the attack. Expect a high-scoring affair, with McPherson providing late-game scoring opportunities for the Bengals if the game stays tight.

Fantasy angles center on Etienne and Brian Thomas Jr. for Jacksonville, Burrow and McPherson for Cincinnati, and the favorable matchups that could unlock turnover-driven points for Cincinnati’s defense. The game sets up for a strategic, back-and-forth battle where early scripts may dictate the ceiling for several role players.

A Colts roster vacancy opened when Jaylon Jones was placed on injured reserve, leaving Indianapolis at 52 players ahead of Week 2 with Denver on the horizon. The team has not filled the spot yet, but has already bolstered cornerback depth by elevating Chris Lammons and adding Ulysess Bentley for depth and special-teams value.

With Ward sidelined by concussion protocols, cornerback depth is the obvious target, and Lammons—familiar with Lou Anarumo’s system—looks like the most likely fit. A linebacker addition remains a possibility, as the club has brought in bodies for workouts since training camp. The move could come Monday or Tuesday to maximize practice reps before the third game.
