Analysis: Massive bounce back from pre-season rankings! While Burrow and Chase underwhelmed with just 12 combined points, the depth pieces like Keenan Allen (looking like WR1), Garrett Wilson's chemistry with Fields, and Deebo fitting perfectly in Washington's offense carried the day. Once the Burrow-Chase connection clicks, this team becomes legitimately scary.

Analysis: Despite the loss after Buffalo's defensive disappointment against Baltimore, this team hit on the picks that matter. Bijan, JSN, and Trey McBride all delivered top-3 positional performances. If Egbuka continues his late-round breakout and they can stabilize QB/kicker, this roster has serious upside.

Analysis: CMC's health proving crucial - even without a TD, he delivered top-5 RB numbers. With Kittle sidelined 4+ weeks, CMC becomes even more vital. The young core shows promise with Tetairoa McMillan already getting force-fed targets in Carolina. If Bryce Young develops beyond bottom-5 QB play, Tet could explode.

Analysis: Derrick Henry silenced age concerns with a dominant Buffalo performance, cementing top-2 RB status. Chase Brown continues to impress, but Kittle's 4+ week IR stint creates holes. Having Justin Fields as insurance could be the X-factor if starter struggles emerge.

Analysis: Despite the loss, players in questionable situations delivered. Nabers produced solid WR numbers despite Giants QB chaos. Jeanty and the Raiders offense look competent with the Geno-Pete reunion. Travis Hunter's dual-role upside as full-time WR/part-time CB creates unique scoring opportunities. Main concern: KW3's potential 50/50 split with Charbs.

Analysis: The Herbert late-round steal narrative proves correct with his strong showing in the revamped Chargers offense - not stacking with Dak was actually brilliant. But CeeDee's pedestrian numbers and AJ Brown's single pity target in garbage time are concerning. Losing by 1 point could haunt a team fighting for playoff positioning.

Analysis: Survived a nail-biter with some mixed performances. Saquon and Brock remain the foundation, but health questions linger around J.K. in Denver. Aaron Rodgers looked rejuvenated while DK managed 10 points. Kupp was invisible, but ETN's confirmation as Jacksonville's workhorse back (especially after trading Tank Bigsby) provides crucial RB2 upside.

Analysis: Stafford's health enabling Puka's WR1 ceiling showed immediately. Breece Hall looked explosive again after years of underwhelming play, and Keon Coleman emerging as Buffalo's top target adds depth. If Bo Nix returns to form, this team could make serious noise in the middle tier.

Analysis: Josh Allen's SNF heroics in the best game of week 1 salvaged what could have been disaster. But concerning performances from Pacheco and Gibbs leave the RB room full of question marks. Tyreek's struggles with Tua looking awful creates another headache. Can this elite QB carry enough weight?

Analysis: Another SNF comeback story - both Nico and BTJ had lackluster debuts which is worrying for the season outlook. The glaring RB2 hole with Jerome Ford remains problematic, though Dylan Sampson on the bench provides hope. Will Pops be able to predict which Cleveland back performs weekly? And what happens when Quinshon Judkins gets ramped up?

Analysis: Lowest scoring week despite elite pieces is deeply concerning. Lamar Jackson and the Andrews stack looked rough, and Jefferson seemed QB-proof but couldn't overcome the overall struggle. If McCarthy develops into his 4th quarter form consistently, there's hope. Rice's return from suspension can't come soon enough.

Analysis: Without Ben Johnson, the Lions offense looks downgraded as predicted. ARSB showing decline signs and Montgomery clearly behind Gibbs hurts the foundation. Achane performed well despite Miami's dumpster fire, and Hampton has future upside, but may not be enough. Baker looked serviceable - the question is whether last year's TD rate variance continues.
