Week 2 DFS spotlight centers on five RB matchups: Gibbs vs Bears, McCaffrey vs Saints, Conner vs Panthers, Hall vs Bills, Williams vs Cowboys. The focus is on game-script independent backs who can reach 15-20 touches regardless, a rarity in today’s NFL.

The Lions look to rebound at home while Chicago’s run defense isn’t as stout as last year. Arizona and San Francisco lean on their respective lead backs, with New York’s duo in a favorable grind. These spots fuel DFS lineups, season-long builds, and prop bets alike.

McCaffrey’s Week 1 workload was 31 touches, and Week 2 injury chatter centered on a calf scare. He practiced fully late in the week and wasn’t listed on the Sunday injury report, making him a strong play against New Orleans unless a late setback arises.

The 49ers’ backfield remains in flux. If McCaffrey can’t go, Brian Robinson would step into the top role and Isaac Guerendo could mix in behind him. Shanahan offered little new detail beyond saying there was nothing to report after Week 1, keeping fantasy managers on alert for last‑minute lineup decisions.

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.

BYU marked its 150th anniversary with a campus devotional featuring Chase Roberts, Andy Reid and Steve Young, highlighting leadership on and off the field as the Cougars celebrate the milestone.

Video clips with Reid and Young underscored BYU's mentorship tradition, honoring LaVell Edwards and other mentors who shaped BYU football. Alumni voices tie BYU's past to a future where football, education and faith guide players’ paths.

Jaylen Warren looks like a strong Week 2 start in PPR leagues, nursing a solid floor as a high-end RB2 while sharing work with Kenneth Gainwell. The Steelers’ matchup against Seattle offers a favorable environment, especially if Gainwell continues to struggle with efficiency. Warren’s quick, decisive runs and reception upside give him steady fantasy value, with the potential to push into the top tier of Week 2 backs if the Seattle defense stays vulnerable to both the run and short passes.

If Gainwell falters, Warren could absorb a larger workload and be Pittsburgh’s featured runner, a path that raises his ceiling beyond the typical RB2 range. The combination of Pittsburgh’s backfield dynamics and Seattle’s Week 1 struggles defending backs sets Warren up to deliver solid, usable Week 2 production in most formats.
