New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 22 passes for 137 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The Giants' game plan focused on screens and short passes due to injuries along the offensive line. Jones rarely took shots down the field in an effort to avoid the San Francisco pass rush. The 26-year-old's interception came on what ultimately proved to be his final pass. Tyrod Taylor replaced him on the next drive with the game out of hand. Jones and the Giants will next host the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane could be looking at a bigger role heading into the Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The rookie back sat out Week 1 to fully recover from a preseason injury. He made his NFL debut last week, but played in a limited role. The expectation is that Achane will have larger role this week with the backfield banged up. Raheem Mostert will be the starter, while his primary backup in Salvon Ahmed (groin) is unlikely to play. That means, Achane could step into the No. 2 role for this upcoming game. It would likely lead to increased snaps and hopefully some streaming appeal. However, Mostert will handle a majority of the snaps, so Achane would mainly be a deep league option, assuming he serves as the primary backup.

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe has been reliable when called upon in his first NFL season and has not yet missed a field goal or extra point attempt. Grupe is a top-10 kicker in fantasy, and should be in lineups this week against the Green Bay Packers. The rookie has averaged 2.5 field goals per game and should continue kicking at a high clip.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) hasn't practiced this week and is not expected to suit up for the Week 3 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie quarterback suffered an ankle injury at some point during last week's matchup against the New Orleans Saints. He was able to play through the pain, but will now possibly miss some time. The organization doesn't expect Young to miss more than two games. That being said, Young could possibly be on the sideline for Week 4 as well. The team will likely wait and see how his ankle issue progresses over the next week or so. Until then, Andy Dalton will be under center for the Panthers.

New Orleans Saints second-year wide receiver Rashid Shaheed has lived off of big plays over the early portion of his career. He has had no shortage of them this season, keeping the former undrafted free agent on the fantasy radar. Shaheed has only been targeted ten times this season, but has a total of 163 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown. He has operated as both a deep threat and YAC receiver for Derek Carr and has been effective in his role. Shaheed can be started, but be cautious as he needs to rip off a big play to pay off.

New York Giants running back Matt Breida scored a touchdown on limited touches in the team's 30-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran got the starting nod with star Saquon Barkley (ankle) sitting out. Breida only had four carries and three catches for 18 total yards but the entire Giants team only had 11 carries on the night. He salvaged his fantasy performance with the Giants' only touchdown, which came early in the third quarter. Barkley is dealing with a high-ankle sprain and could miss even more time. Breida is worth a spot on your roster until Barkley returns.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has had a slow start to his 2023 fantasy campaign after a strong 2022 season that included seven touchdowns. Johnson has only been targeted eight times, clearly behind Chris Olave, Michael Thomas, and Rashid Shaheed in the pecking order. He has totaled 49 yards and no touchdowns, disappointing anybody who has started him so far this season. Johnson is heavily touchdown-dependent due to his lackluster volume, and should be avoided this week against the Green Bay Packers in what projects as a low-scoring game.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was unable to practice on Thursday, according to John Boyle. Dissly has now missed back-to-back practices due to a lingering shoulder issue which puts his status for Week 3 in danger. There's still a chance he practices on Friday, but Dissly is trending in the wrong direction. His absence would mean that Noah Fant and Colby Parkinson would likely split up the reps. Between the two, Fant is the better streaming choice, but is more of a deep league option.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will continue to soak up targets in Week 3. Olave has been targeted a team-high 21 times through the first two games and likely will remain quarterback Derek Carr's go-to option in the passing game. While Jaire Alexander blanketed D.J. Moore in Week 1, Drake London (6-67-1) had more success against him in Week 2. Alexander will likely shadow Olave, which could make his matchup tough, but do not hesitate to keep him in lineups this week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints veteran wide receiver Michael Thomas has regained a role in the offense over the first two weeks of the season, hauling in 12 receptions on 17 targets for 116 yards. Thomas has seen consistent usage, making him an attractive FLEX option for Week 3 against a Green Bay defense that has been hit-or-miss. While the game is likely to be a lower-scoring affair, Thomas should deliver due to his consistent volume. Fire him up in Week 3 but be cautious that he could be held without a touchdown again.

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) has missed the first two weeks due to injury, but appears to be trending towards playing this weekend after fully participating in back-to-back practices. With Jamaal Williams (hamstring) trending towards missing the game and Alvin Kamara (suspension) a week away from returning, Miller should slot in as the lead back immediately. Tony Jones Jr. and Taysom Hill led the backfield in Week 2 after Williams left, but this should be the third-round rookie's opportunity to show that he can operate as a workhorse. Fire him up as an RB2 against a Packers defense that has been favorable to running backs this season, barring any last second changes to Jamaal Williams' status.

New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. took over the backfield in Week 2 after Jamaal Williams (hamstring) left the game. Jones ran 12 times for 34 yards and punched in two touchdowns in the win. While Williams is trending towards being out this week, rookie Kendre Miller (hamstring) has logged back-to-back practices and looks like he will be ready to make his NFL debut on Sunday. Miller should lead the backfield and although Jones should see some work, it likely won't be enough to make him fantasy-relevant.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has led the team to a 2-0 record, but his on-field efforts have not translated into fantasy football production. Carr has only thrown for one touchdown through two games, and he is unlikely to stuff the stat sheet in what should be a lower-scoring matchup with the Green Bay Packers. Only consider playing him in superflex leagues, and even then it may be wise to explore other options.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had his best game of the young season on Thursday night against the New York Giants. The colorful tight end out of Iowa grabbed seven of his nine targets for 90 yards, helping pick up the offensive slack with receiver Brandon Aiyuk sidelined by injury. While fantasy managers are still waiting for Kittle's first touchdown, it was good to see Kittle beat projections after duds in the first two weeks. Next up for Kittle's 49ers is a home matchup against the Arizona Cardinals where he'll remain a TE1.

San Francisco 49ers rookie wide receiver Ronnie Bell scored his first career touchdown on his first career reception in Thursday night's 30-12 win over the New York Giants. The seventh-round pick in this year's draft had a modest day otherwise, catching both of his two targets for 24 yards. While Bell looks like a good fit in the 49ers offense after tonight and a solid preseason, he probably would have remained catchless if not for starting receiver Brandon Aiyuk being sidelined with a shoulder injury. Bell still has a long way to go before fantasy relevance and should be left in the free-agent pool, except in the deepest dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Giants running back Eric Gray didn't receive a carry in the Giants blowout loss to San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: This was a disaster for anyone who took a flier on Gray with Saquon Barkley out. He was in on special teams but the carries went to Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell (four each). This is a disaster in fantasy leagues and the entire Giants backfield needs to be avoided until Barkley comes back.

Dynasty | Brock Purdy completed 25-of-37 passes for 310 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the 49ers win against the Giants. Dynasty Analysis: Just another day at the office for Purdy, who has now completed 67% of his passes and has yet to throw an interception on the season. While he isn't the most exciting player on the planet, Purdy has proven to be able to get the job done time and time again. His numbers aren't going to be record-setting but he's in the QB2 conversation every week and about the safest play you're going to get at the moment. Purdy comes in as our QB25 and that may actually be too low.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had the game fantasy managers have been waiting for against the New York Giants on Thursday night. Samuel, 27, lit up the New York defense to the tune of six receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown while tacking on one carry for two yards. With receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) on the sideline, Samuel was clearly the focal point of San Francisco's passing attack. He was targeted 12 times in the game, which was not only a season-high for Samuel but represented the most targets in a single game for any 49ers player this year. Samuel will have another favorable matchup in Week 4 when the 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals.

From RotoBaller

Dynasty | Jalin Hyatt was held without a catch in the Giants blowout loss to San Francisco. Dynasty Analysis: Hyatt wasn't even targeted in the game. On the bright side, Daniel Jones only completed 22 passes for 137 yards on the night, so it wasn't as if everyone else was doing damage. Still, Hyatt's upside is theoretical at this point and he shouldn't be in any dynasty lineups moving forward until we see something relevant. His dynasty ranking is going to start to suffer soon if we don't see some better results.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. The 26-year-old was limited on Wednesday with a shoulder problem, but this progress sets him up to be active for Week 3 versus the Indianapolis Colts. Duvernay once flashed as a fantasy pickup early last season, but the two-time Pro Bowler is characterized by his kick/punt-returning prowess. Even so, Duvernay may be forced into more three-receiver sets on Sunday with Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) looking very iffy for that one. The Colts have been torched for the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers so far, but fantasy managers would really be scraping at the bottom of the barrel if settling on Duvernay even as a WR5 on Sunday.
