Brenton Strange's breakout continues for Jacksonville, climbing to a season-high target share and leading the team in receiving yards in two of four games. Lawrence trusts him in a shaky passing attack, and Strange could be this year's Hunter Henry.

Darren Waller returned on Monday night with 16% target share and two end-zone catches on limited routes; his workload should grow as Tyreek Hill's injury creates more pass-volume opportunities for Giants' receiving corps.

Mason Taylor stepped into Jets' No. 2 WR role, drawing seven targets, five catches, and 65 yards. With Garrett Wilson drawing coverage, Taylor offers a sneaky weekly floor in deeper leagues.

Tyreek Hill's involvement may shift if Hill is limited or out, opening opportunities for Jaylen Waddle and other pieces; Dalton Schultz and Isaiah Likely provide late-round TE plays as workloads stabilize for Texans and Ravens.

Fields returns to lead a Jets offense that must balance run-first identity with a meaningful aerial attack against aMiami defense that struggles to stop the pass. Garrett Wilson looms as the clear target, while secondary weapons like Mason Taylor and Arian Smith could break out with a cleaner pocket and better spacing.

Defensively, Quinnen Williams and Jermaine Johnson can disrupt Tua Tagovailoa and force mistakes, backed by Will McDonald stepping up if Johnson is limited. Miami’s speedy receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle test Jets coverage, and Brandon Stevens will be under the microscope handling one-on-one duties with help needed in zone.

Overall, this game is a potential turning point for Aaron Glenn and the Jets: win and show cleaner tackling, better scheme execution, and a path toward steady improvement in a very young roster.

Miami hosts New York in a primetime clash, both 0-3 but in different rebuild stages. Miami’s blitz-heavy defense under Anthony Weaver is pushing the pocket, while the offense must balance Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle with a more efficient run game. New York must steady the QB situation, improve protection, and lean into screens to counter the pressure, hoping for a breakthrough on early downs.

Key matchups loom: Sauce Gardner vs Hill or Waddle, Brandon Stevens vs either receiver, and the Jets' ability to force a turnover. Special-teams miscues could tilt the balance, making discipline and fundamentals pivotal in a game that could define both teams’ midseason trajectory.

Drake May’s second NFL game shows real growth: poised pocket presence, smart checkdowns, and a playable, multi-dimensional threat that reshapes the Patriots’ ceiling. The offense finally balanced the run with the pass, leaning on 29 carries for 122 yards and a high-percentage passing plan. The win rode May’s maturation and a cleaner red-zone execution, even as the team paid for self-inflicted mistakes and special-teams hiccups.

Vrabel and the staff emphasized resilience and process, not just results. The defense produced timely sacks and a key pick, while the offense sustained drives with a mix of zone reads and engineered passes. The win resets the week’s talking points: May isn’t just “a guy” you win with; he’s a quarterback who can carry a game, provided the line and play-calling stay steady.

For fantasy and betting, the takeaway is clear: May’s trajectory matters more than the box score. If the Patriots keep feeding him a balanced script and limit the self-imposed errors, New England becomes a sleeper upside play in a developing offense that finally looks capable of sustained scoring.

Week 1 delivered a chaotic but instructive start for fantasy managers. Justin Fields flashed with rushing upside and Baker Mayfield connected with Ameka Ibuka for a breakout-like debut, shifting belief around TB’s offense. Quinton Johnston looms as a ceiling-first WR with an unsettled QB situation. Garrett Wilson and Aaron Rodgers clicked in a Jets debut that has fantasy owners rethinking his upside. Waiver targets like Nico Collins, Puka Nacua, and Marquise Brown look viable bets as we map Week 2 workloads.

Rookies and Committee-risk players dominated the chatter: Etienne Jr. flashed big yards but no TD, while CMC and Kittle hauled in heavy volume for SF. The Colts and Browns offered surprise offensives, while the Dolphins’ sky-high expectations met rough matchups. The overarching lesson: plan around volume in Week 2, identify secure roles, and avoid overreacting to Week 1 blips. Stay flexible on matchups, and weather the early-season ebbs and flows with careful rostering and smart streaming.
