 TNF [Travis Kelce] TNF: Chiefs favored over the Chargers by 4 Details: PointsBet has set the over/under at 54 points. PM vs. JH: Patrick Mahomes has won two of the three head-to-head matchups between him and Justin Herbert. Last Meeting: When the two last met (December 2021), the Chargersâ defense had no answer for Mahomes (who threw for 401 yards) and Travis Kelce (who caught 10 passes for 191 yards and 2 touchdowns.) The Chiefs walked away with a 34-28 victory. The Difference? Derwin James â one of the leagueâs best safeties â did not play in that matchup and should help to limit Travis Kelce tonight. The Chargers will also have offseason upgrades like Khalil Mack and slot corner Bryce Callahan this time around. - Mack tallied 3 sacks in his Chargersâ debut last week. While Callahan finished with an interception. KC Injuries: Notable injury-related absences for the Chiefs include corner Trent McDuffie and kicker Harrison Butker. Matt Ammendola â Butkerâs replacement â made 13-of-19 field goals with the Jets last season. LAC Injuries: Star corner J.C. Jackson (ankle), who didnât play last week, will be a game-time decision. Keenan Allen (hamstring) has already been ruled out. - Mike Williams, Josh Palmer, DeAndre Carter, and Jalen Guyton will serve as Herbertâs receivers. Image: William Purnell/Icon Sportswire Dobbins [JK Dobbins] JK Dobbins on track for Week 2 Details: Dobbins got in a [full]( practice for the first time in over a year on Wednesday. - Jamison Hensley (ESPN) tweeted after practice that Dobbins is âtrending toward playingâ this Sunday against the Dolphins. Ouch: At an event earlier this week, Dobbins revealed that in addition to his ACL, he tore his LCL, hamstring, and meniscus last year. 2020: In his only healthy season (rookie year in 2020), Dobbins totaled 925 scrimmage yards (805 rushing, 120 receiving) and scored 9 touchdowns. He averaged an outstanding 6.0 yards per carry. Help Needed: The Ravens rushed for only 63 yards (3.0 ypc) against the Jets last week. Kenyan Drake (31 yards on 11 carries) will start on Sunday if Dobbins doesnât play. Favorites: The Ravens (1-0) are 3-point favorites over the Dolphins (1-0).

[Sign up here.]( Rookies [Travon Walker] Travon Walker and other rookie defenders were excellent in Week 1 Walker: Walker, the No. 1 overall pick, totaled 3 tackles, a sack, and an interception in the Jaguarsâ loss to the Commanders. He earned a respectable 66.2 PFF grade (that many feel should be higher). Stingley: Texans CB Derek Stingley, the No. 3 overall pick, allowed only two catches on five targets and broke up a Matt Ryan touchdown pass. - ESPNâs DJ Bien-Aime [wrote]( that âStingley's technique and ball skills were sound throughout the day.â Gardner: Jets CB Sauce Gardner, the No. 4 overall pick, allowed two catches on four targets. He played every defensive snap and broke up what would have been a long Lamar Jackson touchdown pass. Surprise: Interestingly, PFFâs highest-graded defensive rookie was undrafted Dolphins CB Kader Kohou â who broke up a pass and forced a fumble in limited action (just 18 snaps). - Kohou could see his snap count go up with Byron Jones on the PUP list. Image: David Rosenblum/Icon Sportswire Swift [D'Andre Swift] DâAndre Swift downplays ankle injury Details: Swift was held out of practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. - After practice, Swift told reporters that he is â[not at all](â concerned about the issue â which bodes well for his availability against the Commanders on Sunday. Week 1: Swift totaled 175 scrimmage yards (144 rushing, 31 receiving) and scored a touchdown on just 18 touches versus the Eagles. - He was PFFâs [highest-graded]( Week 1 running back. OL Injuries: Two of the Lionsâ top offensive linemen â LT Taylor Decker (knee) and C Frank Ragnow (groin, foot) â did not practice either. Both are considered day-to-day. Favorites: The Lions (0-1) are 1.5-point favorites over Washington (1-0). Note that the Jaguars averaged nearly 7.0 yards per carry on the Commanders last week. Image: Scott W. Grau/Icon Sportswire Together with Stathead Question of the Day Who caught the most touchdowns in 2007? - Plaxico Burress
- Terrell Owens
- Randy Moss
- Braylon Edwards Lazard [Allen Lazard] Allen Lazard returned to practice Details: Lazard practiced â on a [limited]( basis â for the first time in two weeks. His participation puts him on track for Sundayâs matchup against the Bears. - Lazard has been dealing with an ankle injury. Big Boost: Lazardâs return should help Aaron Rodgers, who struggled in the Packersâ loss to the Vikings last week. - Rodgers passed for just 195 yards and failed to throw a touchdown pass. More Help: Left tackle David Bakhtiari and right tackle Elgton Jenkins â both of whom did not play last week â participated in individual drills on Wednesday and could debut against Chicago as well. Note that Rodgers was sacked four times versus Minnesota. Favorites: The Packers (0-1) are 10-point favorites over the Bears (1-0). Image: Steven King/Icon Sportswire Dortch [Greg Dortch] Cardinals WR Greg Dortch set for another featured role Details: With DeAndre Hopkins suspended and Rondale Moore injured, Dortch led the Cardinals in targets (9), catches (7), and receiving yards (63) last week. - He out-produced Hollywood Brown (4 catches for 43 yards) and A.J. Green (2 catches for 13 yards). Moore: Moore continues to [miss]( practice with a hamstring injury and looks doubtful for Arizonaâs Week 2 matchup against the Raiders â which should keep Dortch in the starting lineup. Attractive: Dortch could be an attractive fantasy start versus a battered Raidersâ secondary in a game with shoot-out potential (51.5 over/under). More Cardinals News... - J.J. Watt continues to miss practice with a calf injury and his status for Sunday appears to be in serious doubt.
