2026-2027 NFL Week 2 Recap
Hello everyone!
Hope everyone had a successful week 2! Lots of injuries which is always very unfortunate - hope there are speedy recoveries to Caleb Williams, Jaxson Dart, Jayden Daniels, Jayden Reed, Alec Pierce, and all the other players. Started out with a huge Thursday night game - high scoring for fantasy players across the board. It was also a get right week for some players with a quiet Week 1. Ja’Marr Chase with 2 TDs - Waddle with 138 receiving yards - CeeDee Lamb with 153yds and 2TDs - and Davante Adams taking advantage of Puka’s absence posting a 195+2TD line.
