Fantasy Football News & Latest NFL Updates

Steelers Edge Alex Highsmith left Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with what the team quickly deemed a high ankle sprain. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports, however, that Highsmith is not expected to land on IR.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn suggested Monday that QB Justin Fields (concussion) will need to be cleared to practice on Wednesday or Thursday to have a chance to start vs. the Buccaneers. “It’s hard for me as a coach once we get to Friday and you haven’t had any reps,” Glenn said. He added that the team needs to "build a plan that's suitable" for QB Tyrod Taylor. We'll see if Fields is able to get on the practice field by Thursday. But, for now, fantasy owners should work under the assumption that it'll be Taylor under center this weekend. Taylor doesn't bring the same rushing ability as Fields, especially at this point of his career. But he might be a slight upgrade as a passer.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson busted off 143 yards on 22 carries in Sunday’s Week 2 win over the Vikings. Robinson tallied runs of 25 and 17 yards on the first two plays of the game alone.

Week 1 turned up just a 35% snap share for Patriots rookie RB TreVeyon Henderson. That number shrank slightly to 32% in the Pats’ narrow Week 2 win in Miami. Henderson finished fourth on the team in carries with 5, while he ranked second among New England RBs in targets. He caught both for 30 yards.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill rebounded from a down Week 1 to post 6 catches for 109 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. Hill’s 7 targets ranked second on the team behind De’Von Achane’s 10.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow will require surgery on his toe, sidelining him for at least three months, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Burrow suffered a Grade 3 turf toe injury and received a second opinion today from Dr. Robert Anderson.

Don't look now, but Daniel Jones is the overall No. 2 fantasy QB through two games. In Week 2, Jones completed 23-of-34 passes for 316 yards and 1 TD while punching in another rushing score (his third) to lead the Colts to a walk-off 29-28 win over the Broncos. Only Lamar Jackson has scored more fantasy points so far in 2025.

WR Marquise Brown led the Chiefs in receptions for the second straight game Sunday but managed only 5 receptions for 30 yards in the loss to the Eagles. His five targets tied WR Tyquan Thornton and TE Noah Gray for second on the team, one behind TE Travis Kelce. Brown also matched Thornton in total snaps (45) and pass routes (30), each running one more route than third WR JuJu Smith-Schuster.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes heads into Monday night's games as the QB7 in Week 2 fantasy scoring. Fantasy managers can thank his rushing production for the second week in a row. Mahomes threw for just 187 yards, with 1 TD and 1 INT, on 16-of-29 passing in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Even those numbers got a large boost from a 49-yard TD connection with WR Tyquan Thornton with 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter. Mahomes racked up 66 yards and a TD on the ground, though, with all seven of his rushes coming via scramble. His TD came from 13 yards out in the second quarter and followed a 6-57-1 rushing line from the opening loss to the Chargers.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco managed just 22 yards on 10 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added 1 reception for 7 yards among two targets. On the positive side, that work did lead the backfield. Kareem Hunt went 8-31 on the ground with 1 catch for 3 yards. Rookie Brashard Smith supplied 2 total yards on one rushing attempt and one incomplete target.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith posted just 4 receptions and 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. But that accounted for 52.5% of Philadelphia's receiving yardage in a game that saw Jalen Hurts throw for just 101. Smith's six targets ranked second (behind A.J. Brown's eight) and constituted 27.3% of Hurts' total pass attempts. Smith did appear to hurt his back early in the second half, visiting the blue medical tent after coming down hard on a reception attempt. He returned, though, and snagged a 28-yard fourth-quarter catch that helped seal the victory.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts threw for just 101 yards in Sunday's win at Kansas City. That marked the lowest total of his career for a game Hurts didn't leave early. He completed 15 of 22 passes, with no TDs or INTs. Hurts also ran for just 15 yards on nine attempts but punched in a 1-yard TD in the middle of the fourth quarter.

Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan caught six of his 10 targets for 100 yards in the Panthers' loss to the Cardinals. He led the team in targets and ranked third in catches. A 40-yard catch and run along with a one-handed sideline catch, highlighted the rookie’s great day.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren rushed 14 times for 48 yards on Sunday. RBs Kenneth Gainwell only had five carries, while Kaleb Johnson had one. Warren did most of his damage through the air, catching all four targets for 86 yards, leading the team in receiving.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker III ran 13 times for 105 yards and a TD against the Steelers while also adding one catch for 13 yards. Running mate Zach Charbonnet had 15 rushes, but could only muster 10 total yards. Charbonnet also had no targets in the game. Walker looked more effective this week than in Week 1where he only had 24 yards on 13 touches.

Cowboys RB Javonte Williams rushed for 97 yards and a TD on 18 carries while also adding six receptions for 33 yards in the Cowboys’ win against the Giants. He handled 77.4% of the backfield touches, giving him a strong case to be included in fantasy lineups going forward.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown followed his one-target opener with better usage in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. Brown drew a team-high eight targets, accounting for 36.4% of Jalen Hurts' total pass attempts. Brown caught five of those but tallied only 27 yards.

Giants WR Malik Nabers racked up nine catches for 167 yards and two TDs against the Cowboys in an overtime loss on Sunday. Nabers made spectacular catches and dominated the Cowboys after the catch. Nabers is now up to 123 career catches, the most by any player in his first 17 NFL games.

Titans QB Cam Ward threw for 175 yards, 1 TD, and 0 INTs in Sunday's 14-point loss to the Rams. He went 19-of-33 passing while taking five sacks. Ward added a mere 8 rushing yards on four carries.

Titans rookie WR Elic Ayomanor caught his first career TD pass in Sunday's loss to the Rams. That 9-yard TD capped a 4-56-1 receiving line on six targets. Ayomanor tied Chig Okonkwo and Calvin Ridley for the team lead in that category.
