Jackson Smith-Njigba paced Week 1 targets with a dominant 59% share, signaling a ceiling-raising role in Seattle’s passing game against the Steelers. Seattle’s multiple weapons should keep JSN's target volume high, bumping him toward weekly top-10 consideration in PPR formats.

Jakobi Meyers projects as Las Vegas’ primary Week 2 option, especially in a Chargers matchup where volume and quick-hitting targets could compile a steady floor. Stefon Diggs looks to remain a high-floor staple for Buffalo, while Travis Etienne’s resurgence adds a bullish upside for Jacksonville. Keenan Allen’s route-heavy role keeps him in the WR2/1 mix for half-PPR leagues.

Patriots Week 1 setback exposed a rookie-led attack, with Drake Maye flashing potential but showing upfront footwork and pocket rhythm gaps as the run game stalled and Raiders controlled the clock. The late surge highlighted growth, yet overall Week 1 underscored the need for a steadier rhythm, run-game support, and cleaner reads for fantasy juice.

Defensively, New England flashed a disruptive blueprint and a path to pressure, while questions about situational football linger. Week 2 vs Miami is a litmus test: establish the run to open play-action, protect Maye, and spread targets to a developing receiving corps. Fundamentals win in close games, and this is the moment to convert growth into fantasy points.

Bottom line: better run-game balance, cleaner pocket mechanics for Maye, and disciplined execution in critical moments should lift the offense and fantasy outputs in Week 2.

Drake Maye faced heavy pressure as New England’s offense stalled on a pivotal third-quarter sequence, leading to a floated pass that Crosby sandwiched for a game-changing interception. Las Vegas’ X stunt pulled Onenu and Moses wide, creating a clean path for Crosby to loop around and force the errant throw. The moment underscores how interior protection and edge pressure collide to swing fantasy rows, elevating Crosby’s short-term ceiling and putting Diggs back in the spotlight when Maye recovers chemistry.

Diggs found a soft spot in the middle of cover two, hinting at future opportunities if Maye can throttle down and trust the pocket. For Patriots fantasy managers, the takeaway is twofold: Crosby’s rush could create sacks and pressures in upcoming games, while Diggs remains a high-floor play if the offense stabilizes and Maye tightens timing with his receivers. O-line tweaks for Onwenu and Moses will be critical to unlock the unit’s ceiling going forward.

Booty led the team in receiving yards and targets, signaling him as the top waiver add in many leagues. Palmer posted a 20% target share in Week 1, while Robinson drew 25% of targets, underscoring a trio of pass-game options. Seattle’s JSN is beginning to take on a real role, with Horton and Washington entering deeper leagues as stash options. Tyreek Hill trade chatter adds a volatile wrinkle to veteran WR value, while Cup’s health and the Rams’ passing game remain a watch.

Dynasty and deep-league moves look prudent: stash Horton and Malik Washington; in shallower formats, grab Booty or Palmer if available. The segment also flags Tyreek Hill’s potential moves and the ripple effects on the WR market, plus a reminder to monitor Hopkins’ and Cup’s status as the season unfolds.

Max Crosby wrecked New England’s plan on a pivotal third-quarter snap, pressuring Drake Maye into an underthrown pass that became the interception and swung momentum Vegas’s way. The Raiders sat in a four-man rush with seven in coverage, attacking Crosby’s edge while neutralizing the Patriots’ run game with a tight X dunk setup. The play reshaped the game’s tempo and underscored how Crosby’s presence dominates the Patriots’ protection schemes.

New England tried to counter with five blockers and an extra back, but Crosby’s loop and inside counter disrupted Drake Maye’s timing and forced ill-advised throws. Stephon Diggs later identified soft spots in cover two, while Crosby’s relentless pressure continued to dictate the pace, cementing the Raiders’ defensive win and stalling the Pats’ offensive rhythm.
