Alexander Mattison rushed the ball four times for one yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: The Raiders picked up a big win over the Ravens in Week 2. Mattison scored one of the team's two offensive touchdowns, but he wasn't able to do much else. He has scored in two straight weeks but still shouldn't be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Jakobi Meyers catches four passes for 29 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Meyers wasn't super involved on Sunday, but he did well in the limited work that he was given. However, rookie Brock Bowers has emerged as a huge piece of Las Vegas's offense, so he will likely take work from and limit the upside of the veteran moving forward.

Brock Bowers caught 9-of-9 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: The rookie had another great performance on Sunday. He fell just shy of 100 receiving yards, and he played a huge role in the 4th quarter and was a key piece in Las Vegas' upset win. He will be a must-start fantasy option in PPR leagues for the foreseeable future.

Zamir White rushed the ball nine times for 24 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: White continued to struggle on Sunday. He led the team in rushing attempts and yards, but he was inefficient at 2.7 yards per carry and didn't contribute much in the passing game. Las Vegas will need him to pick up his production soon if they want to have a well-rounded offense this season.

Davante Adams caught nine passes for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 upset win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: Adams had a dominant performance on Sunday. He totaled over 100 receiving yards and a touchdown against the Ravens, and his efforts in the fourth quarter helped the Raiders to secure their upset win. He and Brock Bowers will continue to be the dominant forces in Las Vegas' offense for the foreseeable future.

Gardner Minshew II completed 30-of-38 passing attempts for 276 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact: The Raiders were able to pick up an upset win over the Ravens on Sunday, and a lot of that can be attributed to the efforts of Minshew. He played well and limited mistakes against a tough Baltimore defense, and he was able to move the ball well enough to pick up the win. He is inconsistent and shouldn't be started in the majority of fantasy leagues moving forward.

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin saw a pair of targets, catching one for 10 yards, against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Conklin has consecutive weeks of just one catch, not a strong start for a common sleeper tight end favorite. While he has had a solid Jets career so far (58-552-3 in 2022; 61-621-0 in 2023), he has not gotten much attention with Aaron Rodgers under center. It's OK to pivot off Conklin until proven otherwise with this offense still finding its own wings.

The Ravens' D/ST recorded five sacks and an interception in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Baltimore's defense allowed 26 points to the Raiders on Sunday, which is less than ideal. Outside of that, however, they made some nice plays over the course of the afternoon. They totaled five sacks and an interception, and they should continue to be one of the league's best units throughout the rest of the season.

The New York Jets D/ST recorded a four-sack effort against Tennessee Titans QB Will Levis, adding on a pair of turnovers and a blocked punt.

Fantasy Impact: The Jets' defense scored fantasy points in a multitude of ways. While the unit allowed 300 yards of offense, it got home against Levis and forced a pair of mistakes, holding Tennessee to just 17 points. It was a solid fantasy outing for a unit that should see strong performances soon (NE, DEN in Weeks 3, 4).

Justin Tucker went 3-of-4 on his field goal attempts and converted both of his extra point attempts in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Tucker totaled 11 points in Sunday's game, but he left some points on the field after missing another field goal against the Raiders. He hasn't been as dominant recently as he used to be, but he remains a quality fantasy option at the position.

Rashod Bateman caught three passes for 40 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Baltimore's passing attack had a solid day on Sunday, and Bateman was a notable part of that. He totaled 40 yards on three catches, and although he wasn't heavily targeted, he was still a helpful piece for Baltimore's offense. He's important to them in real life, but that doesn't translate to fantasy points very well for the former first-round pick.

Justice Hill carried the ball four times for 22 yards and caught two passes for ten yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Hill wasn't very involved in Sunday's game. he saw just six touches over the course of the afternoon, and he was way less involved than Derrick Henry, who saw 19 touches on the day. Hill will be involved as the pass catching back for Baltimore, but he's unlikely to hold much fantasy value at any point this season.

New York Jets WR Mike Williams saw just one target in Week 2, hauling it in for a 19-yard catch.

Fantasy Impact: Despite only seeing one target (tied for seventh on the team), Williams actually played 37 snaps, the third-highest among WRs on the team (trailing WRs Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard). This is an increase from his zero-target, nine-snap showing in Week 1. Williams has entered the WR rotation but is not earning looks yet, a concerning development that, optimistically, should only improve from here.

Isaiah Likely caught two passes for 26 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Likely had a strong performance in Week 1 with over 100 yards and a touchdown, but he followed that up with a disappointing performance in Week 2. He totaled just 26 yards over the course of the day, and he wasn't particularly involved as part of the offense. He remains a fringe starter with upside at best for the time being.

Mark Andrews caught 4-of-5 targets for 51 yards in Baltimore's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Andrews ended up having a modest performance on Sunday. He started out the game slow, but he ended with four catches for over 50 yards, which gave him a decent enough fantasy total in PPR formats. He has yet to look like his former elite self this year, however, so fantasy managers might not be happy with this performance from the veteran tight end.

Zay Flowers caught 7-of-11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Baltimore wasn't able to pick up a win over the Raiders on Sunday, but that didn't stop Flowers from having a strong showing. He led the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns in the game, and he continues to be the focal point of the Ravens' passing attack. He should continue to be a strong fantasy option in PPR leagues for the foreseeable future.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard caught two passes for 11 yards on four targets against the Tennessee Titans.

Fantasy Impact: While Lazard was one of four players on the Jets to see four or more targets (and only one of two receivers), he did not do much with the quartet of looks following his Week 1 multi-TD effort. While he is a favorite target for QB Aaron Rodgers, he should not likely be counted on for any level of consistency in fantasy production.

Derrick Henry rushed the ball 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown and caught one pass for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: The ground game was doing decently well for Baltimore on Sunday, and Henry benefited from that. He led the team in rushing with 84 yards at an efficient clip of 4.7 yards per carry, and he was able to find the end zone for the second week in a row. He has high touchdown upside, but fantasy managers will be disappointed with his fantasy totals on weeks that he doesn't get in the end zone.

Lamar Jackson completed 21-of-34 passing attempts for 247 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while rushing for 45 yards on five carries in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: The Ravens suffered an upset loss at the hands of the Raiders on Sunday, and Jackson is partially to blame for that. He threw an interception and didn't make many strong plays through the air, but he also didn't make many mistakes and was strong on the ground. He should continue to be a high-end fantasy quarterback for the foreseeable future.

The Bears' D/ST logged three sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Chicago's defense actually played pretty well on Sunday, all things considered. They held the Texans to 19 points on the night despite the offense turning the ball over several times, and they were able to record a fumble recovery in the red zone. This unit is pretty good but should only be started in plus matchups for the remainder of the season.
