New Orleans faces a tough test as Spencer Rattler and a battered offense host San Francisco. With Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau, Trevor Penning, and potentially Taliese Fuaga sidelined, the Saints must push a more efficient passing game and smarter play design to avoid an 0-2 start.

For fantasy managers, focus on Rashid Shaheed, Chris Olave, and Alvin Kamara as the trio most likely to produce targets and yards if the Saints unlock play-action and get the ball into space. San Francisco’s defense remains elite up front and in coverage, so protection and precision from Kellen Moore and Rattler will be pivotal for any redemption day in week 2.

Tanoh Kpassagnon is being elevated from the Bears' practice squad to bolster Chicago's pass rush in Week 2 against Detroit, while Jahdae Walker is ruled out with an ankle injury. The Bears also added Jake Moody to the practice squad and placed Xavier Carlton on injured reserve to clear roster space. Kpassagnon impressed last week with a sack, two QB hits and two tackles across 13 defensive plays and three special-teams snaps, tying for the team lead. Chicago looks to lean on its depth up front as it hosts the Lions.

Week 1 fines centered on Chicago and Philadelphia, led by Cole Kmet’s $17,389 penalty for a leg whip on a D’Andre Swift rush. Noah Sewell followed with $6,174 for a hip-drop that wasn’t penalized in real time, and Jakorian Bennett hit $23,186 for a hip-drop. Jalen Carter’s week’s pay and ejection also factor into the league’s discipline narrative. For fantasy, watch Kmet’s target share and Bears’ blocking discipline, plus how the Eagles’ backfield roles shift as penalties influence on-field usage.
