Kelvin Banks Jr. has opened with immediate impact for New Orleans, holding his own against Nick Bosa in Week 2 and earning high praise from Spencer Rattler. Through two games he’s played every snap, posted a 69.1 PFF grade (19th among tackles) and a 74.4 pass-blocking mark, with no penalties. Paired with Taliese Fuaga, the Saints appear to have durable edge bookends for the foreseeable future, boosting quarterback protection and the run game.

Week 2 injuries reshape fantasy NFL rosters. Burrow's toe surgery outs him for months; Browning starts, elevating Chase's and Higgins' ceiling only if Cincinnati stabilizes at QB. Reed's 6-8 week absence widens Packers targets to Wicks, Doubs, and Kraft while Love powers the offense. Ekeler's season-ending injury opens Croskey-Merritt as Washington’s lead back, with Jones’ hamstring risk looming. Fields' concussion creates Jets QB uncertainty, boosting Tyrod Taylor as a streamer. Week 3 brings more volatility as backfields and pass-catching duties shift to fill the gaps.
