Stay tuned for in-game trackers and quick-hit analyses that translate directly to lineups and waiver adds as the action unfolds.

Jaylen Wright remains sidelined as Week 2 nears, with the Dolphins listing him doubtful after knee surgery that ended his preseason. Mike McDaniel indicated Wright is week-to-week, making Ollie Gordon II the likely backup behind De'Von Achane for a second straight week against New England. Mattison’s season was lost, reshaping Miami’s backfield ahead of a tougher schedule.

Longer-term, Wright’s only real path to fantasy value is a Week 3 return and a potential change-of-pace role in a healthier Dolphins offense. Week 2 remains a sit for most rosters, though a late-week return would shift backfield dynamics in Miami.

Steelers must clamp Seattle’s two-headed backfield, dial up pressure on Sam Darnold, and win third downs to keep drives off the field. After a rough showing vs Jets, Pittsburgh leans on T. J. Watt to spark the pass rush, while stout run defense and timely stops shape fantasy upside—Watt’s sack ceiling and Seahawks’ balanced attack.

From a fantasy lens, Watt becomes the primary catalyst if the Steelers can collapse the pocket. Seahawks RBs Charbonnet and Walker III are workload bets in a game-script that could tilt on efficiency in short-yardage and third-down scenarios. Monitor game flow and substitution patterns for optimal lineups.
