Ravens may be without Kyle Van Noy, their top pass rusher, in Week 3 vs Detroit after a hamstring setback. Van Noy logged 12.5 sacks in 2024, ranking fourth in the NFL. His likely absence thins Baltimore’s edge rotation, elevating rookie Mike Green and testing the defense. Detroit heads to Baltimore on Monday Night Football with a chance to exploit the thinner rush.

Cleveland’s 0-2 start exposed a fragile balance: turnover-prone offense, unreliable special teams, and a defense that carried the burden but can’t do it alone. Flacco’s rough day, the offense’s lack of a vertical threat, and costly special-teams miscues allowed Baltimore to seize momentum. Judkins offered a glimpse of upside with 61 yards, but the unit needs more explosives. With Green Bay, Detroit, Minnesota and Pittsburgh looming, cleaner pocket play, steadier run blocking and improved field position are existential.

Week 2’s Himmy Award results spotlight the week’s standout fantasy performers. Brandon Aubrey engineered a historic 64-yard game-tying FG and a 46-yard OT winner. Jared Goff delivered a career-tying five TDs in a 52-21 Lions rout, while Malik Nabers posted 167 receiving yards and two TDs for the Giants. Fred Warner punctuated SF’s win with a late forced fumble and recovery. The performances reshape early-season value as MNF approaches.

Caleb Williams shows growth in Week 2 with 207 passing yards, 2 TDs, and a 63% completion rate, connecting with Rome Odunze for two scores as the Bears fall 52-21 to Detroit. Williams thrives on in-rhythm drops, but accuracy and pocket pressure persist, contributing to four sacks and penalties. Ben Johnson stresses progression and consistency as Chicago heads to a Week 3 visit from Dallas, hoping the offense sustains its opening-drive TD streak and tightens reads under pressure.
