Geno Smith’s Week 2 MNF struggles overshadow a solid Raiders defense as Las Vegas dropped a high-variance shootout against Los Angeles. Smith forced throws, 3 interceptions, and just 180 passing yards, while the defense limited the Chargers to 20 points after an early turnover. Offense line woes and playmaking gaps surfaced, prompting questions about how the unit will rebound in Week 3. Depth guys Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty chipped in modest yet meaningful touches, and chatter about Brady, Carroll, and game-planning added context to the fallout.

Fantasy-wise, the takeaway is twofold: Smith’s ceiling remains volatile if the line can’t protect him, and the defense’s resilience could keep them in low-scoring streamer territory in favorable matchups. Watch for Jayden Daniels’ status and potential offensive adjustments, as well as how the Raiders’ next game script might lean into supporting cast contributions and more disciplined attacking sequences.

Houston stalls at 0-2 after a 20-19 heartbreaker to Tampa Bay, with a last second Rachaad White TD sealing it. C. J. Stroud urged unity in the locker room as the team faces a Week 3 clash with Jacksonville, seeking to steady a slow start.

Houston has averaged 14 points per game and produced only one passing TD, while the defense has been stout. The OC switch from Bobby Slowik to Nick Caley hints at faster tempo and new route concepts, a potential spark for fantasy managers monitoring every shift.
