Jalen Mills lands on the Texans' practice squad, adding veteran depth as Houston searches for stability after an 0-2 start. Mills owns a nine-year résumé with 115 games and 91 starts, eight interceptions, and 59 passes defended, offering versatile coverage and run support for a developing secondary. Houston shuffled its practice squad again, cutting Silas Bolden and Jaylon Thomas to align with Week 3 needs. The move signals a measured, cost-controlled path to revamping a struggling defense.

Bills sit No. 1 with a clean Week 2 showing, followed by Eagles, Ravens, Packers, and Chargers as Week 3 favorites. The rest of the league shifts with the Dolphins and Panthers sliding after rough outings, while Colts climb into the middle of the pack on explosive offense and emerging pieces. Bryce Young flashed in Carolina, Spencer Rattler impressed in New Orleans, and J.J. McCarthy looks like a work-in-progress in Minnesota as teams settle into schemes and fantasy roles.

Cleveland Browns rookie Dylan Sampson led the backfield in Week 1, but Quinshon Judkins’ debut in Week 2 pushed Sampson down the depth chart. Sampson projects as a change‑of‑pace or third option behind a likely workhorse in Judkins and veteran Ford, making him a drop in 10‑team leagues while holding modest handcuff value in deeper rosters. The waiver landscape now features a wave of emerging backs like Bhayshul Tuten, Cam Skattebo, and Trey Benson, who could supplant Sampson in a hurry.

For those chasing upside, the Who Should I Pickup tool highlights several rookies who could leapfrog Sampson, with Skattebo and Benson showing clearer standalone value and Tuten stepping into a larger role in Jacksonville. In deeper leagues, Sampson still has a path to relevance if injuries reshape the Browns’ backfield, but the current trend favors younger, hotter handcuffs with clearer paths to touches.
