Las Vegas eyes a 2-0 start as it hosts Los Angeles after a Week 1 road win; the Chargers swept the Raiders last season and opened with a win over Kansas City, signaling a pivotal Monday test and a chance for Las Vegas to prove its growth. Justin Herbert’s blend of precise passing, RPOs and scrambles remains the toughest challenge for the defense.

Raiders coach Pete Carroll highlighted Herbert’s playmaking ability as the defining hurdle, underscoring the need to contain him in both the pocket and on the move. Week 2 will serve as a clear gauge of Las Vegas’s progress and readiness for a tougher stretch ahead.

Momentum, fantasy angles and division implications collide in this matchup as both teams chase a critical early-season result.

Keion White and Christian Gonzalez are out for Week 2 as New England visits Miami, thinning the Patriots’ edge and secondary. Anfernee Jennings could inherit bigger edge duties, reshaping the Patriots’ pass rush against a familiar opponent. Morgan Moses is questionable at right tackle, with Marcus Bryant positioned to step in if needed, while Marte Mapu is also uncertain, complicating lineups and special-teams depth.

The Dolphins have no named injuries in this update, leaving their offense comparatively intact. For fantasy and bets, Jennings, Bryant and Lowe emerge as notable late-round or DFS targets if Moses sits, while Mapu’s status could tweak back-end coverage and IDP value. Monitor final injury designations as Week 2 approaches.

Overall, Boston-to-M Miami sets the stage for depth pieces to shine. Expect heightened usage for Patriots’ depth at tackle and edge, and a cautious approach to the secondary until Dallas returns to practice. A dynamics-driven game with plenty of rotation could produce surprise fantasy contributors.

Chargers lean on a pass‑heavy attack in Week 2 vs. the Raiders, using quick, efficient throws to extend drives with Rashawn Slater out. Herbert targets Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston, who flashed big‑play upside, while Omarion Hampton anchors the backfield at about a 60‑40 split with Najee Harris ramping up. With Bosa out, Tuli Tuipulotu steps in to spearhead the rush alongside Khalil Mack. Tre’ Harris and Marlowe Wax emerge as under‑the‑radar difference makers for Monday night.
