Week 2 centers on a noon Sunday clash as Dallas hosts New York, a game that could define early-season fantasy values. After Week 1’s rust and a Thursday win by Green Bay, the Cowboys face a Giants squad led by Russell Wilson, with roster moves and injuries shaping who steps up. Watch the injury reports and how Dallas’ young pass rush and Giants’ pass protection fare in a potential fantasy swing game.

Fantasy managers should monitor Bland’s status and Giants’ offensive-line readiness, plus Cam Skattebo’s workload for New York. Eberflus’ comments about slowing explosive passes add a tactical layer to the game, hinting at snap distribution shifts and scoring opportunities in a Dallas home tilt.

Confidence in the Commanders’ direction stays high after Week 2, even with an offense that looked rusty and a defense that bent to Green Bay. Reacts shows 98% backing the plan as fans brace for a marathon season. Week 3 offers a home environment, a nine-day rest, and a chance to reset amid a murky NFC East picture that could shift with Sunday outcomes.

The schedule remains demanding: Raiders on a short week, Eagles and Rams on the horizon, and a division race that could swing from top to middle quickly. Injuries and coaching decisions loom large; the path to a meaningful season hinges on cleaner offense and sharper play-calling, not panic.

McCaffrey’s Week 1 workload was 31 touches, and Week 2 injury chatter centered on a calf scare. He practiced fully late in the week and wasn’t listed on the Sunday injury report, making him a strong play against New Orleans unless a late setback arises.

The 49ers’ backfield remains in flux. If McCaffrey can’t go, Brian Robinson would step into the top role and Isaac Guerendo could mix in behind him. Shanahan offered little new detail beyond saying there was nothing to report after Week 1, keeping fantasy managers on alert for last‑minute lineup decisions.
