Dallas’s Week 2 drama centers on a beleaguered secondary with DaRon Bland sidelined, likely pushing the Cowboys to allow the most receiving yards again and elevating risk for fantasy managers in Week 3. Russell Wilson blistered Dallas for 450 passing yards before New York sealed the OT win, highlighting the ceiling for high-volume pass attacks. Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson torched the coverage, Rome Odunze flashed with 128 yards and two scores, while Trevon Diggs and Kaiir Elam struggled. Bland’s return timing will dictate Week 3 and Week 4 fantasy impact against Chicago and Green Bay.

Joe Mixon’s 2025 season is in limbo. The Texans placed him on the non-football injury list and he has not practiced since mid‑July, with no clear return date. In his absence, Houston has leaned on Nick Chubb, while Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce and rookie Woody Marks handle depth duties. For fantasy managers, hold Mixon in IR spots if possible, but be prepared to pivot in shallow leagues as a late-season return remains uncertain.
