Each week, I’ll make the observations and you can draw the conclusions with your own team.
Trends will highlight the things that could shape your SuperCoach decisions. Trades will put the more obvious advice in front of you when injuries, roles or other circumstances force the issue.
TRENDS
TNF: Bills/Lions
Josh Allen recorded two rushing TDs and threw another from the one-yard line, once again stealing goal-line work from James Cook. Cook did eventually score late in the game.
DJ Moore was barely involved in the Bills’ offence before exiting with a shoulder injury and being sent for X-rays. He is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain and is considered day-to-day, with his availability for Week 3 currently uncertain.
Detroit's lack of coverage made the receiving hierarchy alongside Dalton Kincaid difficult to determine after DJ Moore went down.
EARLY SUNDAY SLATE
Denzel Boston is emerging as the WR1 in Cleveland.
The Packers can stop the run, holding Breece Hall to just 29 rushing yards in Week 2.
The Packers don’t have a dominant running game at the moment, with no clear lead option emerging through two weeks.
Christian Watson dominated the Packers' targets for the second consecutive week.
The Bengals held Texans running backs David Montgomery and Woody Marks to just 18 combined rushing yards, and haven’t allowed a rushing gain of more than 14 yards through two games.
Colston Loveland had just three targets for one reception in Week 2. His lack of involvement is starting to become concerning for fantasy owners.
Panthers receivers Tet McMillan and Jalen Coker combined for 19 targets and 167 receiving yards in Week 2, after combining for 17 targets and 213 yards the week before.
Ja'Marr Chase bounced back from a quiet Week 1 with seven receptions from nine targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns.
The Patriots' run game looked unlocked with TreVeyon Henderson making his season debut against the Steelers.
Chris Olave backed up last week’s performance with six receptions from eight targets for 88 receiving yards and a touchdown. Tyler Shough also went 27/34 for 252 yards.
Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews emerged as the Ravens’ top targets in the absence of Zay Flowers, combining for 16 targets and 137 receiving yards.
DK Metcalf continues his poor start to the season, catching just four passes from nine targets for 27 yards with several miscues. He caught four passes from 10 targets last week. Metcalf also has a league-high five deep targets through two weeks, but none have been completed.
DeVonta Smith had 10 receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown from 13 targets for the Eagles, while Dontayvion Wicks backed up last week’s performance with five receptions from six targets for 74 yards.
The Falcons are the first team in 18 years to go without running a red-zone play through the first two games of a season, according to QBgami.
LATE SUNDAY SLATE
The Dolphins' offence doesn't appear to have a leading option in the receiving game through two weeks. Caleb Douglas had just one reception from two targets for eight yards after his 94-yard performance last week.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has continued to see plenty of the football with Drew Lock at quarterback. The Seahawks' passing game hasn't suffered in the absence of Sam Darnold, with Drew Lock comfortably feeding the Seattle receivers.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt continues to lead the Commanders' backfield with roughly 70% of the carries, while Rachaad White has been much more effective with his smaller workload this week.
Justin Herbert struggled to protect the football against the Raiders, fumbling six times with one lost and throwing two interceptions. Herbert struggled to be decisive with mostly unfamiliar receiving options in the absence of Njoku and a limited McConkey.
With RJ Harvey sidelined, Jonah Coleman and JK Dobbins continued to split the Broncos' backfield evenly, although Coleman found the end zone.
Jaylen Waddle was far more involved this week, catching eight passes from 10 targets for 138 yards.
Parker Washington had more targets than Brian Thomas Jr for the second consecutive week.
Bhayshul Tuten continues to lead the Jaguars' backfield, recording 13 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown compared to Chris Rodriguez Jr's six carries for 13 yards.
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs had a far more even target share this week, with McLaurin seeing eight targets and Diggs five after Diggs dominated the opportunities in Week 1.
Tre Tucker emerged as the Raiders' leading receiving option this week, while Jack Bech and Jalen Nailor were barely involved compared to last week.
SNF: Chiefs/Colts
Kenneth Walker III confirmed that he will be heavily involved in the Chiefs' offence, finding ways to keep himself busy against a strong Colts front.
MNF: Rams/Giants
Isaiah Likely and Malik Nabers continued to draw targets despite the Giants' inefficient quarterback play.
The Rams’ run defence has impressed across the opening two weeks, preventing significant gains from opposition run games for large portions of both games.
WORTH MONITORING
Caleb Williams was carted off with a hamstring injury, with early reports suggesting it could be serious.
Jayden Reed was carted off with a neck injury.
Dallas Goedert did not return to the Eagles’ game against the Titans, while Saquon Barkley missed most of the first half after suffering a stinger. Barkley returned in the second half, but told reporters after the game that he would undergo an MRI.
Jayden Daniels was carted off with a left elbow injury.
David Njoku was ruled out of the Chargers’ game against the Raiders with a knee complaint.
Ashton Jeanty limped off the field to have an ankle concern assessed. but returns late in the game.
Mike Evans did not return after suffering a hip issue against the Dolphins, although the lopsided nature of the game makes it difficult to know whether he could have returned or was simply kept out with the 49ers comfortably ahead.
Jadarian Price was ruled out of the Seahawks’ game against the Cardinals with a chest injury.
Alec Pierce was ruled out against the Chiefs with a heel injury, with Ian Rapoport reporting that he is likely to be placed on IR while he recovers.
Jaxson Dart is believed to have suffered an MCL sprain and is expected to miss some time. X-rays were negative, with an MRI scheduled for Tuesday.
TRADES
If you're still holding De’Zhaun Stribling, the options emerging to replace him are Denzel Boston, who is looking like Cleveland's leading receiving option through two weeks, or Matthew Golden, who appears to have a key role for Green Bay.
Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow for the second time in less than a year, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. X-rays did not reveal a fracture, but SuperCoach owners should be preparing to trade him.
