Brock Purdy’s turf-toe injury sidelines the 49ers QB for up to five weeks, thrusting Mac Jones into Sunday’s matchup with New Orleans. Fantasy managers should scan the QB streamer list, with Daniel Jones, Trevor Lawrence, and even Aaron Rodgers cited as viable options in tougher spots.

Week 1’s injury avalanche continued with Austin Ekeler’s season-ending Achilles and George Kittle’s hamstring. Add in Xavier Worthy’s shoulder and Brock Bowers’s knee, and the waiver wire becomes a chessboard. Watch for sleepers like Harold Fannin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka to emerge for deeper leagues.

Tyreek Hill enters a noteworthy drought: 365 days since a 30-yard+ grab, with Week 1 totaling four catches for 40 yards. The Dolphins face the New England Patriots in Week 2, offering a prime chance to reintroduce big plays, while Hill and Tua Tagovailoa navigate health and rhythm to restore fantasy upside.

Hill's ceiling remains tied to explosiveness and correct play design. If the Dolphins thaw the flow and Tua stays healthy, a rebound into the high-impact weekly sweet spot is plausible. Fantasy managers should monitor target distribution and whether the offense fixes the rhythm that unlocks Hill's legendary big-play ability.

Overall, Hill’s value hinges on one or two vertical connections to flip a week; the upcoming matchup will be telling as the Dolphins push for a sharper shot at the ceiling Hill has shown in prior seasons.

Two Calvin Johnsons share a name but not a lineage: the Hall of Fame Lions receiver and CJ2, a Tulsa wideout who just found the end zone on a Saturday night. The piece confirms they aren’t related and traces CJ2’s path from Northwestern to Tulsa, where a early score signals budding talent amid doubt about frame and workload.

For fantasy managers, CJ2 is intriguing but uncertain. At 5-11, 185, his size doesn’t scream megatron-like dominance, and Tulsa’s offense may limit ceiling. Still, the name recognition and a spark like that Saturday TD demand watch-list consideration, especially if Tulsa’s system unlocks more targets.

The column also threads in broader NFL headlines—Hill’s cold streak, Mac Jones’s leap with the 49ers, and other notes—that color the week’s fantasy landscape and remind managers to chase opportunity over hype.
