The New Orleans Saints are acquiring wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) and a 2028 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots for a 2027 sixth-round pick, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Polk is currently on season-ending Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue, so this is a future-focused move for New Orleans. A second-round pick in 2024, Polk recorded just 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games for New England as a rookie. He'll now get a chance at a fresh start with the Saints.

The Cleveland Browns have officially activated rookie running back Quinshon Judkins, per a team announcement. Judkins is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens after an offseason arrest kept him out of training camp and delayed his signing with the team. The 21-year-old is likely to split touches with fellow rookie back Dylan Sampson and veteran Jerome Ford early on. Judkins should not be started in fantasy this week, but he's definitely a player to stash for later on this season.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Jordan Whittington could remain involved in the team's offensive attack this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Whittington's involvement in the season opener last Sunday was a pleasant surprise as he played 50 percent of the snaps and was on the field more than teammate Tutu Atwell. Whittington rushed the ball once in last week's win but did not command a target. His snap share was also slightly elevated due to Puka Nacua missing a portion of the game for a concussion evaluation. While Whittington seems to have shown the coaching staff that he deserves to get on the field, he still doesn't have the production necessary to achieve fantasy relevance. He can be left on waivers in all redraft leagues.

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams remains a strong fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Williams' nose for the end zone was on display once again last week as he scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, and he has a strong chance to score this Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Titans. Just last week, we saw this Tennessee defense surrender 151 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to a Broncos team that admitted it didn't even run the ball as much as it should have. If Denver could have pushed closer to 200 yards on the ground, then there's a very real chance that someone like Williams can go for 100 yards and a touchdown, especially with game script and time of possession favoring the Rams. Williams is a high-end RB2 with mid-range RB1 upside.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum should remain an afterthought in the team's offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. While Corum is a solid handcuff, he lacks fantasy appeal as long as Kyren Williams. Just last week, he played only 17 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with one rushing attempt and one reception. While it's encouraging that he was the only Rams running back not named Williams to register a snap, his incredibly low usage indicates that he's not a priority option in this offense. Even in a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week, Corum has a very low floor and can be left on the bench or the waiver wire.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier earned double-digit touches in Week 1, although against a stout Tampa run defense, he was unable to convert them into much production, logging just 24 yards on 10 totes. The 25-year-old back was a non-factor in the passing game, not even drawing a single target compared to Bijan Robinson's seven targets. Allgeier tallied 10 or more carries just five times in 17 games last year, so this likely won't be a regular occurrence, however, the product out of BYU did have a solid game against Minnesota last year, which is who he'll face on Sunday night. The 5-foot-10 back ran nine times for 63 yards and a score in this matchup last year, so he's got a chance to produce again, but the Vikings allowed just 53 yards to running backs last week (QB Caleb Williams ran for 58) and allowed the second-fewest rush yards per game in '24, leaving Allgeier as nothing more than an RB4 or low-end Flex play in Week 2.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was 2-for-2 on extra pointsin Week 1 and 2-for-3 on field goals, but the one field goal he missed was a 44-yarder that could have tied the game and sent it to overtime. We'll see if that shakes his confidence after making just 73.5 percent of his field goalsin 2024, and also after Head Coach Raheem Morris said that theFalcons will begin working out new kickers after the miss. He'll get pristine kicking conditions inside adome (again) at U.S.Bank Stadium in Minnesota on Sunday night, but with other more consistent kicker options available, the 31-year-old kicker ranks outside of the top 12 options at the position this week.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had only 43 yards off 21 carries in the Week 1 win over Cleveland. His 2.0 yards per carry was a tough pill to swallow for fantasy managers. Still, he at least found the end zone, so the afternoon wasn't a total flop. The same can't be said for the rest of the Bengals offense, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards and one touchdown. To make matters worse, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins combined for five receptions. Despite the subpar offensive showing, Cincinnati managed to pull off a narrow one-point victory. With a win in the books, Brown and company will host the Jaguars in Week 2. Without question, the Bengals have struggled to begin the season in the last few years. However, Brown and company have a great chance of turning things around. Although he sometimes struggles picking up yards on the ground, his versatility as a pass-catching back makes a difference. Sunday's game is expected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule, so both offenses may be clicking on all cylinders. All things considered, Brown should be more productive in Week 2, especially if Burrow can get the offense into the Red Zone more than he did against Cleveland. Keep Brown rolling in all fantasy lineups.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded wide receiver Xavier Worthy from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It's not surprising that Worthy will not be able to play in Week 2, considering he suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 1. Without Worthy on the field, Kansas City will rely more heavily on wide receivers Marquise Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Tyquan Thornton. Brown profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option on Sunday against Philadelphia.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. had a nice start to the season in Week 1, drawing eight looks from quarterback Michael Penix Jr., which was second-most on the team, and he recordedseven catchesfor 59 yards. While it was encouraging to see the rapport with his young QB after drawing a total of 10 targets in three games with him under center in 2024, the fact that Darnell Mooney (shoulder) was not a participant in Week 1 almostcertainly boosted Pitts' target share. Mooney is expected to return to the field for Sunday night's road matchup with the Vikings, which could send the 24-year-old tight end back to the No. 3 or No. 4 option in the passing attack behind Drake London (shoulder), Mooney, and perhaps even behind running back Bijan Robinson. Drawing the second-most red zone looks on the team in 2024 buoys his fantasyvalue somewhat, but the 6-foot-6 TE needs to produce on a regularbasis before he's not categorized as a risky low-end TE1, which is what he will be this week.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler suffered a torn Achilles during Thursday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Ekeler injured his ankle on the game's final drive while stepping back awkwardly. The lead back for Washington through the first two weeks, Ekeler totaled 14 carries for 43 yards and added five receptions for 38 yards. With 2024 starter Brian Robinson Jr. already traded, rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt will now step into the starting role. Ekeler's contract expires after this season, making the injury an even bigger blow for the former star running back.

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk is one of the riskier options this week for his home matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The 40-year-old was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goal tries last weekend - including a 51-yarder - and knocked through both of his extra-point attempts - providing decent fantasy value in the loss. Folk has been deadly accurate across the past two campaigns. Over that stretch, he's a superb 50-of-52 on FGs, and 11-of-12 on ones from 50 or more yards out. While New York offered him plenty of opportunities for points in Week 1, it's unclear if the same will be true against Buffalo's defense. The University of Arizona product has a chance to be a modest producer in Week 2, but fantasy managers can likely find a better option than him. Folk is RotoBaller's K29 for his contest with the Bills.

The Jacksonville Jaguars could be in for a shootout with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, with quarterback Trevor Lawrence succeeding in fantasy because of it. After a 26-10 blowout victory on the back of the defense and run game led to disappointing 10 point fantasy day, Lawrence will be looking to right the ship in a game where the game script should favor more passing. The Jaguars QB has always shown potential to succeed in fantasy with his arm talent and solid rushing ability, and now has elite weapons at his disposal. If he were to break out early this season, this week seems like the prime week to do so. Lawrence should be viewed as a high-end QB2 with QB1 upside this week against the Bengals.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Karty has been tough to trust on a week-by-week basis in his young career, leaving fantasy managers looking elsewhere for a high-ceiling option at the kicker position. Karty only attempted two kicks -- both successful extra points -- in the season opener, leaving him with a high success rate but low points total. He does carry more upside into Week 2 against a struggling Titans team, but he's merely a fringe top-15 fantasy option. He's startable in leagues with at least 14 teams but can probably be avoided in smaller formats.

The Seattle Seahawks have named running back Zach Charbonnet a team captain for Week 2's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The third-year back handled 12 carries for 47 yards and a touchdown in Seattle's 17-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Charbonnet was one of the biggest fantasy talking points from Week 1 after out-snapping and outproducing Kenneth Walker III, fueling speculation about a changing of the guard in the Seahawks' backfield. Reports before the opener suggested Charbonnet would be "more involved" this season, and his captain designation could be another sign of his growing role.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is not a top fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Instead, he ranks as a low-end QB2. First of all, the Titans' passing defense showed major strides in Week 1, intercepting Bo Nix twice. This was the lone bright spot for a Tennessee team that struggled essentially everywhere else. Additionally, the Rams are favored to win, so they could adopt a run-heavy approach that aims to drain the clock. If so, we'll see fewer attempts from Stafford through the air. With a respectable matchup and potentially positive game script, Stafford, who lacks rushing upside, drops to the fringe top-24 range.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis won't be on the fantasy radar this weekend when his team takes on the visiting Buffalo Bills. As expected, Davis operated as New York's third option in their ground attack in Week 1. However, the touch split was more drastic than initially anticipated. Incumbent starter Breece Hall carried the ball 19 times, while quarterback Justin Fields attempted 12 rushes of his own. Davis and Braelon Allen combined for just eight touches, with the latter ceding four to his second-year counterpart. If either Allen or Hall were to miss time, Davis should step in as the de facto change-of-pace option, particularly with Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) dealing with an injury. For now, though, his role is too limited to be viable for fantasy. The 23-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB70 ahead of this weekend.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown reportedly drew interest from multiple teams this offseason, per The Athletic's Dianna Russini, but general manager Howie Roseman shut down all trade inquiries. Brown is coming off his least productive season since 2021, missing time with a hamstring injury while the Eagles leaned on a more run-heavy attack. He opened 2025 slowly as well, managing just one catch in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, though Philadelphia still pulled out the win. Despite the sluggish start, there's no expectation of a trade, and Brown should be viewed as a high-end WR2 heading into the Eagles' Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught three of his four targets for 33 yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. The wideout has been known to have some off weeks throughout his career. However, he wasn't the only one who struggled, with Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards. Teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, didn't play much better, with the former LSU Tiger amassing only two grabs. All things considered, the Bengals likely did some work during the week leading up to Sunday's clash with the Jacksonville Jaguars, meaning there is a good chance the offense turns it around. While that doesn't mean Higgins will see the most attention from Burrow in Week 2, there's still reason to believe he'll perform at a higher level, considering Sunday's contest may be the highest-scoring game on the schedule.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III garnered five targets in Week 1, turning them into three receptions for 51 yards with a long of 24 yards. That's about as good as one could hope for from the veteran receiver, and although the team gets Darnell Mooney (shoulder) back in the mix this week, Casey Washington (concussion) will be out with a concussion, and Washington drew six targets in Week 1. It likely means about the same should be expectedof McCloud in Week 2 on the road against the Vikings, but with his targets typicallyof the shortvariety and not usually a threat to score (one touchdown in '24 on 62 receptions), the 28-year-old is relegated to the WR5 range or a low-end Flex option in PPR leagues.
