Kansas City rookie Josh Simmons starred at left tackle in Week 2, holding his own against Philadelphia's stout pass rush and not surrendering a single pressure on 36 pass-blocking snaps. Pro Football Focus graded him at 87.8 for the performance, a precise signal of his upside as a starting tackle for the Chiefs.

Despite the loss, the standout showing fuels optimism for Week 3 against the New York Giants, giving fantasy managers a reason to watch Simmons closely as he cements a blind-side role and Kansas City's protection dynamics evolve behind a young, developing unit.

Dallas’s Week 2 drama centers on a beleaguered secondary with DaRon Bland sidelined, likely pushing the Cowboys to allow the most receiving yards again and elevating risk for fantasy managers in Week 3. Russell Wilson blistered Dallas for 450 passing yards before New York sealed the OT win, highlighting the ceiling for high-volume pass attacks. Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson torched the coverage, Rome Odunze flashed with 128 yards and two scores, while Trevon Diggs and Kaiir Elam struggled. Bland’s return timing will dictate Week 3 and Week 4 fantasy impact against Chicago and Green Bay.

Dallas shook off a slow start to beat the New York Giants 40-37 in overtime, proving the offense can fuel a high-flying game while exposing a vulnerable secondary. Russell Wilson carved Dallas up for 450 yards and 3 TDs, and without DaRon Bland, Kaiir Elam and the rest of the unit struggled to contain big plays. Dallas heads to Week 3 against a wounded Chicago squad, where the secondary will be under the microscope and the offense will look to sustain explosive output.

Fantasy managers should watch how Dallas cushions the secondary in practice and whether Caleb Williams noise around the Bears becomes a real storyline. The Cowboys’ ability to balance pass-heavy drives with a sharp defense will be the key for consistent fantasy upside, especially as opponents lean more on passing in high-scoring setups.
