Fantasy Impact: Mixon went down on a hip drop tackle in Sunday's game against the Bears. He underwent an MRI on Monday and reportedly avoided a serious injury. It is still possible he misses some time. Dameon Pierce is making "fast progress" from a hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Joe Mixon got banged up Sunday night, but avoided a serious long-term injury. Nonetheless if he misses a week, Pierce could lead the backfield if he makes his return.

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said Isaac Seumalo "might be closer" to a return. (Source: Nick Farabaugh on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Seumalo suffered a pectoral injury at the end of training camp and avoided a scare of a season-ending injury. He remains without a clear timetable to return, but it appears he could return soon.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson reaggravated a shoulder injury he had been dealing with during training camp. The Rams continue to deal with a number of injuries across the offensive line as well as to Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp.

The Eagles D/ST allowed 22 points while notching one sack in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Philadelphia allowed the Falcons to rack up 385 yards of total offense in the close loss. They played well in the first half, holding the Falcons to just six points, but they ultimately allowed Kirk Cousins to throw a game-tying touchdown to Drake London with 38 seconds left in regulation. Things won't get any easier for the Philly defense as they will face a red-hot Saints offense in Week 3.

Jake Elliott made both of his field-goal attempts and added an extra point in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Elliott hit field goals from 29 and 28 yards out in the close loss on Monday night. The veteran kicker has now made all four of his field-goal tries while adding five extra points through two games. He will be a quality fantasy kicker heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

Britain Covey caught all six of his targets for 23 yards in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Covey was one of the main beneficiaries of the A.J. Brown hamstring injury as he finished second on the team in targets and catches, although he turned those opportunities into just 3.8 yards per catch. With reports that Brown's hamstring could hold him out another week or so, Covey should return to a similar role as the short-area safety valve heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

Dallas Goedert caught three of his four targets for 38 yards in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Goedert was tabbed to help fill in for the injured A.J. Brown, finishing second on the team in receiving. The veteran tight end has now caught seven of nine targets for 69 yards through the first two games of the season. He will be a solid TE1 heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

Jahan Dotson caught his lone target for a six-yard gain in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Dotson was quiet in the Monday night game, even with A.J. Brown inactive due to a hamstring injury. The veteran wideout has just the six-yard catch on two targets through the first two weeks of the season. He will not be a viable fantasy option heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

DeVonta Smith caught seven of his 10 targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Smith thrived as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver with A.J. Brown sidelined by a hamstring injury. Jalen Hurts found Smith for his only touchdown pass on a seven-yard completion in the second quarter. With reports that Brown's hamstring issue could be a multi-week injury, Smith's fantasy value is going up as he heads into a Week 3 matchup against the Saints. Treat him as a borderline WR1 for that contest.

Saquon Barkley carried the ball 22 times for 95 yards and added a two-point conversion while catching four of his five targets for 21 yards in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Barkley was busy in the Monday night contest. He did most of his damage in the second half as he had just eight carries for 37 yards at halftime. Barkley is thriving as the Eagles' workhorse, posting 204 rushing yards, six catches, 44 yards, and three total touchdowns through the first two games of the season. He will be a top-six fantasy running back in Week 3's matchup against the Saints.

Jalen Hurts completed 23 of his 30 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 13 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 loss to the Falcons in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Hurts played efficiently but he averaged just 6.1 yards per attempt as the Eagles were missing the big-play dynamic that A.J. Brown brings to the table. Hurts' touchdown pass was a seven-yard strike to DeVonta Smith in the second quarter. He followed that up with a one-yard touchdown run early in the fourth. Hurts has now thrown for 461 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions through the first two games of the season. He will be a high-end QB1 heading into Week 3 against the Saints.

The Atlanta Falcons D/ST played well in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2's Monday night game. Atlanta forced one turnover and notched one sack in the win.

Fantasy Impact: The Falcons did well to limit the Eagles to just 21 points in the Monday night win. Atlanta got an interception from Jessie Bates III while Matthew Judon picked up the sack. The Atlanta defense will be tough to trust in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Younghoe Koo made all three of his field-goal attempts and added an extra point in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Koo hit field goals from 39, 22, and 34 yards out while his extra point gave the Falcons the lead with 34 seconds left on the clock in regulation. Koo has now made all four of his field-goal tries and two extra points through the first two weeks of the season. He will kick against the Chiefs in Week 3.

Kyle Pitts caught three of his four targets for 20 yards in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Pitts was quiet in the exciting comeback victory as he finished fifth on the team in receiving. He did most of his damage in the second half as he went into halftime with just one catch for one yard. The veteran tight end has now caught six of seven targets for 46 yards and a touchdown through the first two weeks of the season. Pitts will look to make a bigger impact in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Ray-Ray McCloud III caught three of his five targets for 42 yards and added a three-yard run in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: McCloud finished third on the team in receiving while his five targets tied him for third with Bijan Robinson. The speedy wideout has now caught seven of 12 targets for 94 yards as the starting slot receiver for the Falcons. He will be a low-end flex play in PPR leagues heading into Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Drake London caught six of his seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: London made a clutch touchdown catch to tie the game with 38 seconds left on the clock, helping to complete an exciting comeback victory for the Falcons. The veteran wideout shook off a slow Week 1 where he caught just two passes for 15 yards to lead the Falcons in catches and tie for the lead in targets in Week 2. London will be a WR2 heading into Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Darnell Mooney caught three of his seven targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact: Mooney caught Kirk Cousins' first touchdown pass of the evening on a 41-yard reception late in the third quarter. The veteran wide receiver tied with Drake London with the most targets on the Falcons while his 88 yards led the team. Mooney has now caught four passes for 103 yards and a touchdown through two games. He will be a flex option heading into Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Tyler Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 53 yards and added a 12-yard reception in a 22-21 win over the Eagles in Week 2's Monday night game.

Fantasy Impact: Allgeier played well in a complementary role alongside Bijan Robinson after he racked up just 21 yards on three carries in Week 1. The veteran is unlikely to see a full workload while Robinson is healthy although he still has value as a handcuff. He will now gear up to face off against the Chiefs in Week 3.
