Week 2 starts/sits lens focuses on Zach Charbonnet as Seattle aims to lean on the run game, with Kenneth Walker III in a complementary role. Jordan Mason brings bruising value in a Vikings backfield that appears to have found balance. Isiah Pacheco faces a tougher test after a quiet opener, needing a rebound against a tougher Philadelphia defense. A.J. Brown looks to rebound with Hurts and a likely uptick in targets; Keon Coleman has emerged as Buffalo’s No. 1-ish option, while Marquise Brown could pepper the Chiefs with targets as Rashee Rice and Worthy sit. Justin Fields is a top Week 2 QB play for the Jets, and Jonnu Smith provides a solid tight end streaming option for Pittsburgh.

Week 2 kicker rankings spotlight a high-floor, high-upside mix led by Brandon Aubrey and Cam Little. The Week 2 news lane ushers in roster moves and streaming pivots: Koo out, Romo active, Moody with the Bears, Lutz risk-reward, Slye rising, Loop solid, Butker in a tough spot, and McPherson and Pineiro in favorable spots depending on offenses. Expect a balance of monster ceiling kicks and actionable flex starts across multiple matchups.

Philadelphia’s Week 1 fallout: three Eagles fined for on-field infractions totaling $46,372—Jakorian Bennett $23,186 for a hip-drop, Cooper DeJean $11,593 for unnecessary roughness/face mask, and Nolan Smith $11,593 for taunting after a Cowboys moment. Jalen Carter was ejected but not fined. Week 2 at Kansas City looms as a high-profile rematch, adding intrigue for fantasy managers monitoring rotation, discipline, and potential roster shifts.

Marquise Brown steps into KC’s Week 2 spotlight with Xavier Worthy likely out, after a 16-target, 10-catch, 99-yard Week 1. Brown projects as a high-volume WR3 with upside in a Mahomes-led attack facing Philadelphia. Worthy’s status clouds long-term ceiling, but Brown’s Week 2 floor remains solid in 10+ team leagues, especially if the run game stays balanced and Mahomes targets him on quick, safe throws.

Week 1 fines hit the Cowboys-Eagles opener: Tyler Guyton was fined for an unnecessary roughness jab to Jalyx Hunt’s helmet after the edge clash. Jalen Carter received a one-game suspension for spitting on Dak Prescott, deemed served since he didn’t play a down in the game. Additional penalties hit Marist Liufau and Cooper DeJean for facemasks, Nolan Smith for taunting, and Jakorian Bennett for a hip drop. The ripple effects sharpen early fantasy expectations and lineup decisions.
