Two Monday Night Football games headline Week 2: Tampa Bay at Houston and Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas. Tampa Bay opened with a 23-20 win over Atlanta, while Houston dropped to 0-1 after a 14-9 defeat to the Rams. The Chargers kicked off with a 27-21 victory over Kansas City, and the Raiders followed with a 20-13 win over New England. The slate sets up two sharp fantasy angles: steady offenses against resilient defenses and two defenses that could swing streaming value all night.

In TB@HOU, the Buccaneers aim to start 2-0 as Houston looks to avoid a 0-2 hole. In LAC@LV, the Chargers chase a rare 2-0 start since 2001, while the Raiders seek back-to-back wins. Fantasy owners should weigh who carries volume in these offenses and monitor matchup-driven play-calling as the night unfolds.

With back-to-back MNF games, rosters will hinge on efficient game plans and opportunistic plays. Expect tighter smart-value opportunities at the flex and streaming defenses based on pace and game script, rather than relying on splashy, unproven options.
