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.

Steelers vs. Seahawks looms as Pittsburgh eyes a 2-0 start, but Week 1's Justin Fields showcase has insiders arguing Tomlin mishandled his development in 2024. Fields shocked with decisive, multi-faceted play against Pittsburgh, fueling a growing belief that the benching may have slowed his career trajectory. The Jets’ near-400-yard effort in that game adds heft to the debate and pumps Week 2 fantasy intrigue for Fields and Jets receivers.

For fantasy managers, the Fields revival sweetens the Jets’ upside and shifts Week 2 projections. It also magnifies questions about Tomlin’s QB usage and Steelers’ ceiling without a fully unleashed signal-caller. In the background, Rodgers’ efficiency for the Jets and Giants’ Week 1 struggles offer a nuanced contrast that could tilt lineup and betting decisions this Sunday.

Heyward faced a $6,327NFL fine for a late hit on Isaiah Davis during a Week 1 punt, a penalty that won’t push him out of Pittsburgh’s plans. The Steelers’ home opener vs. Seattle looms, with Metcalf returning to a former team storyline and Porter Jr. sidelined by injury in the short week. Week 2 odds and staff picks add a fantasy betting layer as run-defense questions swirl and Tomlin’s comments on Justin Fields echo into the week.

Seattle visits Pittsburgh as Metcalf eyes a big-game backdrop against a Steelers secondary reshuffled by Porter’s absence. The injury report highlights Joey Porter Jr. OUT, nudging corner depth and influencing target distribution. All told, the Steelers and Seahawks prepare for a thin-margin clash that shapes lineups and wager plays alike.
