The Falcons unleashed a ferocious pass rush in Week 2, overpowering Minnesota to fuel a dominant win and lift their defensive ceiling. Bijan Robinson delivered a big all‑around day, while the rookie class stepped forward and the defense fed off the pressure. Red zone execution remains a concern, but Atlanta’s upgraded trenches and striking playmaking set a clear fantasy path for Robinson, other Falcons backs, and defensive pieces.

Colts eye six cornerbacks and a center to fill an open roster spot after Week 2, staging seven workouts including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Keenan Isaac, Nik Needham and Jimmy Morrissey. Injuries tighten the depth chart as Indy weighs immediate help at cornerback and an interior blocker, with Chris Lammons likely to land on the 53-man roster and a corresponding practice-squad shuffle looming.

Jaylon Jones is on IR and Charvarius Ward was in concussion protocol, underscoring why the club is expanding CB options. The workouts signal a practical, depth-focused move rather than a blockbuster signing, with the potential for one of the tested players to secure a roster spot as Indy races to bolster a vulnerable unit.

Falcons climb to second in the NFC South after a 22-6 Week 2 win at Minnesota, while the Buccaneers sit atop the division at 2-0. Panthers and Saints are both 0-2, with New Orleans getting a notable showing from Spencer Rattler (207 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT) in a 26-21 defeat to San Francisco. Week 3 pits Atlanta against Carolina in Charlotte, a pivotal divisional test that could define early-season fantasy angles.

J.J. McCarthy sits Week 3 with an ankle sprain, forcing Minnesota to pivot to Carson Wentz as the starter. Week 2’s dud—two interceptions, six sacks, no TDs—amplifies concerns as the Vikings navigate a banged-up offense line and a shaky run game. Expect a more conservative plan with quick, check-down passes to stabilize the attack while Addison and Hockenson deal with limited big-play upside until protection improves.

The injury avalanche continues: Jones, Skule, Kelly, and Darrisaw are among the blockers and weapons dealing with setbacks. Wentz’s arrival could shore up the floor through safer throws, but Week 3 remains a hurdle. Fantasy managers should recalibrate expectations, lean on safer options, and monitor every practice report for a potential Week 4 trend reversal.
