Titans sit 0-2 after losses to Denver and L.A., and the fan uproar over Callahan’s offense is tempered by the reality that both opponents are clearly stronger. Denver’s stumbles and a late-game misstep against the Rams show potential, but aim is to avoid overreacting to a tough opening stretch. The piece argues Callahan isn’t solely to blame for Denver’s bad sequence or the Rams’ late surge, but he must deliver more than three wins this season. Ayomanor’s non-challenge and a key Cam Ward fumble are noted as turning points, with questions about second-half adjustments and overall trajectory. The author urges patience this year, while acknowledging the need for meaningful wins to justify keeping the current staff, especially if the offense stalls again in talk of firing by season’s end.

Dallas moved to 1-1 with an overtime win over the Giants, but questions about the defense linger as analysts slot Dallas mid-pack in power rankings. The offense looks more cohesive under Brian Schottenheimer and Dak Prescott’s mobility adds a new dimension. Javonte Williams’ three rushing TDs offer a bright spot, and Brandon Aubrey’s reliable kicking keeps Dallas in tight games. The win fuels optimism, yet the slate remains challenging and fantasy implications shift with game flow.

Week 3 fantasy kicker plan centers on high-floor streamers and smart waivers. Brandon Aubrey remains a top tier start after a Week 2 22-point game; Spencer Shrader and Parker Romo emerge as must-add waivers with strong early-season totals. Matt Prater offers a safe floor against Miami, while mid-range options like Elliott, Carlson, and Reichard provide steady points. Fade spots include Matt Gay and Wil Lutz where volume is unreliable. Target an efficient mix of streaming and short-term plays this week.

Week 2 rookie standouts surge across QB, RB, WR and OL, led by Cam Ward's notable QB jump and Cam Skattebo's expanded role for the Giants. Ayomanor, TeSlaa, and Bryant also flashed, while Hawes, Colby, Fairchild and Ratledge anchored top rookie grades on offense. On defense, Schwesinger and Ezeiruaku headlined the rookie impact for Browns and Cowboys, with multiple others contributing across the board.
