Jacksonville’s Week 2 injury report is mostly encouraging for fantasy managers. Two Jaguars players are in doubt or out: cornerback Montaric Brown (ankle) is doubtful, and offensive lineman Wyatt Milum (knee) is ruled out. Buster Brown has progressed in practice and could be nearing a return, while Cole Van Lanen is back for his season debut. Foyesade Oluokun, Anton Harrison and Van Lanen are cleared to play, with Van Lanen drawing praise for his versatility.

Across the league, Cincinnati has no players on the final report, and Carolina looms as Week 1’s opponent after Jacksonville’s opener. Coach Liam Coen spoke highly of Van Lanen’s reintroduction and overall roster depth, signaling another week of meaningful snaps for the Jaguars’ young linemen and veterans alike.

Week 1 ignited fantasy chatter with a star-studded opening act. Allen carved out a 394-yard, four-TD ceiling day, signaling the Bills as a weekly upside play. McCarthy flashed occasional big plays for Minnesota, adding a rushing TD to his 143 passing yards. Oluokun anchored Jacksonville’s defense with 10 tackles, Boswell drilled a long 60-yard FG and perfect kicks for Pittsburgh, and Kam Johnson sparked TB returns. Landman paced LA’s defense with 10 tackles. Week 1 underscored the margins—kick game, return units, and elite QB ceilings—driving early-season rostering and betting pivots.
