New England outlasted Miami 33-27 in Week 2, led by Drake Maye’s sharp imprint as a pro-ready passer who also made plays with his legs. Maye posted a 137.3 passer rating and +0.57 EPA per dropback, showcasing downfield accuracy and rhythm underneath. Stevenson and Gibson powered the ground game (122 rushing yards) while Gibson’s 90-yard kickoff return sparked late drama. Penalties and a looser secondary kept this from being clean, but the offense delivered enough to win.

Week 2 expands the sample to reveal who’s real and who’s not in the NFL, with the defending champs Eagles proving depth and consistency as other contenders mix high highs with worrying lulls. The Packers, Bills, 49ers and Ravens show dominant floors, while the Chiefs stumble to a rough start that tests every facet of their title window. Surprises abound from the Colts and Cardinals to the Jaguars and Raiders, shaping early fantasy value through balanced offenses, emerging playmakers, and defensive clamps. Injuries and scheme shifts ride shotgun to the narrative, nudging rosters and weekly projections in real-time.

Caleb Williams as Bears quarterback remains a high-variance fantasy gamble as Ben Johnson’s offense faces early-season adversity. Chicago’s new start hinges on linemen staying healthy and Johnson adapting play-calling to leverage Williams’ ceiling, while Detroit’s Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Lions’ high-powered attack highlight the NFC North’s volatility. The Bears’ path to relevance revolves around Williams’ NFL acclimation, Williams’ supporting cast, and a defense that must keep pace in a division stacked with contenders.

Live reaction to Week 2 chaos reshapes fantasy playbooks: Falcons upset Vikings on Sunday night and Chiefs slide to 0-2, while Cowboys scream to end the early slate. Lions offense re-emerges, Jaguars fall to Jake Browning, and Shanahan teams up with Mac Jones for late-game juice. Pats and Dolphins stumble in a sloppy clash, Rodgers and the Steelers hit rough patches, and Indy quietly sits at 2-0. This sets clear Week 3 pivots and hot streamer bets for fantasy rosters.
