Jets 37, Bills 31
The New York Jets won a shootout over their NFC East division-rival Buffalo Bills 37-30 on Thursday Night Football. The Jets evened their record to 1-1 by riding Matt Forte for 30 carries for 100 yards and three touchdowns. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 374 yards and a touchdown to Eric Decker, who had six catches for 126 yards and the score. Brandon Marshall added 101 yards on six catches through the air for New York. The Bills dropped to 0-2 despite a strong effort by Tyrod Taylor, who finished 18-30 for 297 yards and three touchdowns. Taylor connected with Marquise Goodwin twice for 112 yards and a touchdown. Buffalo didn’t get enough production from running back LeSean McCoy (15 carries for 59 yards, four catches for 31 yards) and receiver Sammy Watkins (two catches for 20 yards).

Steelers 24, Bengals 16
DeAngelo Williams called this matchup a “two-chinstrap game,” and it lived up to its billing. The Pittsburgh Steelers won a hard-fought battle over AFC North division-rival Cincinnati Bengals 24-16. The Steelers improved to 2-0 despite the Bengals’ solid coverage on star Antonio Brown. Fantasy owners won’t be happy with Brown’s four catch for 39 yards performance on 11 targets, but Steelers fans will take it. Ben Rothlisberger finished 19-37 for 259 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. DeAngelo Williams continued to fill the void of LeVeon Bell as he serves the last of his three-game suspension to open the 2016 NFL season. Williams rushed for 94 yards and caught four passes for 38 yards and a touchdown. Bengals (1-1) quarterback Andy Dalton threw 54 pass attempts, completing 31, for 366 yards and one touchdown but couldn’t find top target A.J. Green despite eight targets. Green had two catches for 38 yards after a monster week one performance. Jeremy Hill was bottled up by the Pittsburgh defense, finishing with 22 rushing yards on 11 carries. Giovani Bernard ran five times for 17 yards but led the team in receiving with nine receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown.

Titans 16, Lions 15
The Tennessee Titans outscored the Detroit Lions 13-0 in the fourth quarter of their 16-15 road victory. Both teams are 1-1 after Marcus Mariota and company rallied late. Mariota finished 25-33 for 238 yards and two touchdowns. DeMarco Murray continued to play well, rushing for 89 yards and catching seven passes for 56 yards. Rookie Derrick Henry carried the ball nine times for 40 yards. Mariota found Andre Johnson with 1:13 remaining in the game to put the Titans up for good. Delanie Walker had the other fourth-quarter touchdown and led the team with six catches for 83 yards. The Lions’ Matthew Stafford completed 22 of his 40 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin. Marvin Jones continues to show his fantasy football upside and value to Detroit after his eight reception, 118-yard game.

Ravens 25, Browns 20
The Cleveland Browns jumped to a 20-2 lead after the first quarter against the Baltimore Ravens, before allowing 23 unanswered points to give the Ravens a 25-20 win. The Ravens improved to 2-0 and kept pace with the Pittsburgh Steelers atop the NFC North division. Joe Flacco completed 25-45 passes for 302 yards with two touchdowns and interceptions apiece. Mike Wallace caught both of Flacco’s touchdown passes and finished with four catches and 41 yards receiving. Dennis Pitta led the team with nine catches for 102 yards. The Browns (0-2) will start their fifth quarterback in five games in week three after losing Robert Griffin III in the opening game and having Josh McCown injure his shoulder in Sunday’s loss. McCown managed to finish the game despite suffering what is believed to be a serious shoulder injury, and he finished 20-33 for 260 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman continues to impress for Cleveland as he put up a five catch, 104 yard and two touchdown game. Isaiah Crowell rushed for 133 yards and a touchdown.

Cowboys 27, Redskins 23
The Dallas Cowboys took the lead with 4:45 remaining in the fourth quarter and held on for a 27-23 lead over their NFC East rival Washington Redskins. Rookie quarterback Dak Prescott earned his career win, as did rookie Ezekiel Elliott who rushed for 83 yards and another touchdown for the 1-1 Cowboys. Prescott completed 22-30 passes for 292 yards and ran for a touchdown while pleasing fantasy football owners by finally connecting with Dez Bryant seven times for 102 yards. Dallas’ longtime security blanket for quarterbacks, Jason Witten, caught three passes for 51 yards in the win. The Redskins are now 0-2 and had plenty of chances to win this game. Kirk Cousins threw for over 350 yards and a touchdown and even rushed for 20 yards. Top-ranked fantasy football tight end for the week, Jordan Reed, led the team with five catches for 70 yards. Matt Jones carried the ball 13 times for 61 yards and a touchdown.

Giants 16, Saints 13
When the New York Giants and New Orleans Saints met in 2015, they combined for 101 points (Saints 52, Giants 49). This year’s matchup was the total opposite, with the Giants winning at home over the Saints 16-13. Eli Manning completed 32-41 passes for 368 yards, and the Giants benefitted from a second quarter blocked field goal return for a touchdown to improve to 2-0. That was the Giants only touchdown, and Josh Brown’s three field goals pleased fantasy football owners. Star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. was targeted 11 times and caught eight passes for 86 yards. Rookie Sterling Shephard continued to impress with eight receptions for 117 yards and the return of Victor Cruz carries on after a four catch, 91-yard performance. New Orleans’ Drew Brees had another strong game, finishing 29-44 for 263 yards and a touchdown. Willie Snead followed his huge week one performance with five catches for 54 yards and a score. Brandin Cooks led the team with seven receptions for 68 yards and rookie Michael Thomas added four catches for 56 yards. Mark Ingram was stuffed by the Giants defense and finished with just 47 total yards for the now 0-2 Saints.

Panthers 46, 49ers 27
The Carolina Panthers exploded for a 46-27 victory of the San Francisco 49ers to improve to 1-1. Cam Newton put together an ‘MVP’ performance by throwing for 353 yards and four touchdowns and adding 37 yards on the ground. Fozzy Whittaker filled in for the injured Jonathan Stewart and rushed for 100 yards with 31 yards receiving. The return of Kelvin Benjamin continues after he caught seven passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end Greg Olsen led the team with 122 receiving yards and a touchdown. Devin Funchess caught the Panthers other touchdown and linebacker Luke Kuechly (11 tackles, 1 INT) held off any realistic comeback attempt by the 49ers. San Francisco fell to 1-1 in the loss, and struggled to move the football. Carlos Hyde carried the ball 14 times for 34 yards and Blaine Gabbert (17-36, 243 yards, two touchdowns) turned the ball over twice. Torrey Smith caught three passes for 55 yards and a touchdown. Tight end Vance McDonald caught a 75-yard touchdown from Gabbert and led the team in receiving.

Patriots 31, Dolphins 24
The New England Patriots keep rolling while Tom Brady serves his 4-game suspension, but they may have lost quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to injury in the 31-24 win over the Miami Dolphins. Garoppolo was having another outstanding game with three first-half touchdown passes before suffering a shoulder injury. That forced rookie Jacoby Brissett (6-9 for 92 yards) into the lineup, and he may be the guy for the next two weeks until Brady returns. New England (2-0) can keep riding LeGarrette Blount, who finished with 123 rushing yards and a touchdown Sunday. Danny Amendola caught two touchdown passes and Martellus Bennett did his best ‘Gronk’ impression, catching five passes for 114 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins (0-2) turned the ball over four times and quarterback Ryan Tannehill threw two interceptions. Tannehill did throw for 389 yards with two touchdowns and his top target Jarvis Landry pleased fantasy football owners with a 10-catch, 137-yard performance. Rookie Davante Parker had another promising game with eight catches for 106 yards. The Dolphins may need to give Kenyan Drake more opportunities to run the football if Arian Foster will miss extended time. Drake had just two carries for 12 yards, but did score a touchdown. Tannehill led Miami in rushing with 35 yards.

Texans 19, Chiefs 12
The Houston Texans (2-0) defense looks as tough as any after their 19-12 home win over the Kansas City Chiefs. J.J. Watt finished with 1.5 sacks and the team finished with four sacks on Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, who was held to just 186 yards passing. Brock Osweiler finished 19-33 for 268 yards and a touchdown and he continues to find top receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller. Hopkins is rewarding fantasy football owners who selected him in the early rounds with seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Rookie Will Fuller continues to display his big-play ability and finished with 104 yards on four receptions. Lamar Miller was steady and rushed for 83 yards and had two catches for 14 yards. The Chiefs (1-1) turned the ball over three times and managed just 14 first downs.

Rams 9, Seahawks 3
The Los Angeles Rams won their home opener and continue to dominate the Seattle Seahawks, whether it be in St. Louis or LA. There wasn’t much offense for either team, now both 1-1, in a 9-3 Rams win. Case Keenum finished 18-30 for 239 yards and no turnovers, and Todd Gurley finished with 51 rushing yards and 19 yards receiving. Kenny Britt led the Rams with six catches for 94 yards, and Tavon Austin caught five passes for 50 yards. The Rams defense didn’t allow hobbled quarterback Russell Wilson to do much of anything, as he finished 22-35 for 254 yards with 14 yards rushing. Christine Michael carried the ball 10 times for 60 yards and Thomas Rawls was stuffed for -7 yards on seven carries. A bright spot was second-year receiver Tyler Lockett catching four passes for 99 yards in the loss.

Cardinals 40, Buccaneers 7
This blowout was almost too predictable after an NFC Super Bowl-favorite Arizona Cardinals team lost to the Tom Brady-less New England Patriots at home in week one. The Cardinals (1-1) hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their defense forced five turnovers in the 40-7 rout of the Bucs. Jameis Winston was the NFC Offensive Player of the Week in week one, but finished with four interceptions (27-52, 243 yards, one touchdown) in week two. Carson Palmer was 18-31 for 308 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers. Larry Fitzgerald (six catches for 81 yards), John Brown (two catches for 78 yards), and Michael Floyd (two catches for eight yards) each had a touchdown reception. David Johnson led the team in receiving with 98 yards on three catches and rushed for 45 yards. Chris Johnson had 16 carries for 54 yards and a touchdown for Arizona. Nothing went right for Tampa Bay (1-1), as not only did they lose, but they lost star running back Doug Martin in the process. Martin had 23 yards rushing but injured his hamstring and will now miss the next month. Mike Evans had another strong showing for the Buccaneers and fantasy football owners with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown.

Chargers 38, Jaguars 14
The San Diego Chargers offense exploded in a 38-14 dominating win over the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chargers (1-1) led 35-0 entering the fourth quarter. Philip Rivers completed 17-24 passes for 220 yards and four touchdowns in the win. Melvin Gordon had another strong game with 102 yards rushing and a touchdown, and will be relied upon more after Danny Woodhead suffered a season-ending injury in the game. Antonio Gates caught a touchdown pass and Travis Benjamin continues to impress after a six catch, 115 yard, two touchdown performance. Blake Bortles finished 31-50 for 329 yards and two late touchdown passes, but also threw two interceptions. Bortles led the team in rushing with 34 yards, but the Jaguars (0-2) might want to use T.J. Yeldon (7-28 yards) more. Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns were expected to play big roles this season but finished with three receptions for 54 yards and five catches for 64 yards, respectively.

Falcons 35, Raiders 28
Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons won a 35-28 shootout on the road over the Oakland Raiders. Ryan finished 26-34 for 396 yards and three touchdowns and found star receiver Julio Jones five times for 106 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy football owners were hoping Devonta Freeman would find the end zone, but his line of 17 carries for 93 yards helped the Falcons improve to 1-1. Derek Carr played well in the loss, throwing for 299 yards and three touchdowns himself. Amari Cooper led the Raiders (1-1) in receiving with five catches for 71 yards but couldn’t connect with Carr for a score. Michael Crabtree had four catches for 31 yards and a touchdown and tight end Clive Walford had six receptions for 50 yards and a touchdown. Latavious Murray and DeAndre Washington each had productive games in limited roles for Oakland. Murray carried the ball eight times for 57 yards and touchdown and Washington had seven carries for 46 yards.

Broncos 34, Colts 20
The Denver Broncos improved to 2-0 and dropped the Indianapolis Colts to 0-2 after a 34-20 home win. The Denver defense produced two fourth quarter touchdowns to seal the victory. C.J. Anderson led the way with 74 yards rushing and a touchdown. Quarterback Trevor Siemian is 2-0 as a starter and finished 22-33 for 266 yards and an interception. His top targets Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders combined for 129 yards receiving. Colts quarterback Andrew Luck completed 21-40 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown, but threw a costly pick-six to Aqib Talib late. Fantasy football owners are hoping for more from receivers T.Y. Hilton (4-41) and Donte Moncrief (1-9) and running back Frank Gore, who had just 44 yards rushing.

Vikings 17, Packers 14
The Minnesota Vikings had a couple of firsts on Sunday Night Football: inaugural game at the highly anticipated U.S. Bank Stadium and Sam Bradford’s first start at quarterback following the Teddy Bridgewater injury and trade for the former top overall pick. The Vikings defense stymied the Green Bay Packers, forcing three turnovers in the 17-14 win over their NFC North division rivals. Sam Bradford (22-31, 286 yards, two touchdowns) had an excellent debut and appears to have a top target in Stefon Diggs. The two connected nine times for 182 yards and a touchdown. Kyle Rudolph had three receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown and the passing game may be featured more if Adrian Peterson misses extended time with the torn knee ligament he suffered in the game. Peterson had just 19 yards on 12 carries before having to be assisted off the field. The Vikings (2-0) defense sacked quarterback Aaron Rodgers five times and intercepted him late to seal the victory. Rodgers had an uncharacteristically sluggish game, completing 20-36 passes for 213 yards and a touchdown. The good news for Green Bay (1-1) is that Jordy Nelson appears to be healthy as he had five receptions for 73 yards and a touchdown. Still, Nelson and the rest of the Packers receivers seem to be out of sync with the two-time MVP quarterback as drives continue to stall for the offense. Maybe feeding Eddie Lacy (12-50 yards) more will help.

Eagles 29, Bears 14
Second-overall pick Carson Wentz continues to turn heads in his 2-0 start to the 2016 NFL season. Wentz and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Chicago Bears 29-14 at Soldier Field in front of a national audience on Monday Night Football. Wentz was 21-34 for 190 yards and a touchdown. His top target Jordan Matthews led the team in receiving with six catches for 71 yards. Eagles kicker Caleb Sturgis made three first half field goals before the offense started to complete their drives. Ryan Matthews had two rushing touchdowns while rushing for just 32 yards. The Bears are now 0-2 and may be without quarterback Jay Cutler for the next few weeks after he suffered a thumb injury in the loss. Jeremy Langford scored the Bears only offensive touchdown and finished with just 28 yards rushing. Alshon Jeffery led the team with five catches for 96 receiving yards and the Bears are hoping for more from Kevin White, who finished with four catches for 36 yards.

Broncos 21, Panthers 20
vs.
The Super Bowl 50 rematch was a very similar outcome to the game in February, with the Denver Broncos defense containing 2015 NFL MVP Cam Newton. The Broncos beat the Carolina Panthers 21-20 on Thursday night to kick off the 2016 NFL season. C.J. Anderson carried the ball 20 times for 92 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 47 yards and another touchdown. Anderson certainly made Trevor Siemian’s job easier in his first career start. Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas had 49 and 48 receiving yards, respectively, for the Broncos. Cam Newton wasn’t stellar, but didn’t have the explosive games that Panthers fans and fantasy football owners were accustomed to in 2015. Newton finished with 194 yards passing with one touchdown and one interception, and had 54 yards rushing with a touchdown. The big story were the hits, many of them helmet-to-helmet, on Newton that weren’t followed by a flag. A bright spot for Carolina was the return of one of Newton’s favorite targets, Kelvin Benjamin, who finished with six catches for 91 yards and a score. Tight end Greg Olsen finished with 73 yards receiving for the Panthers. The real story was the defense in this game, where Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller picked up where he left off and recorded a sack on Newton. Both teams should be optimistic about making a long playoff run again in 2016.

Ravens 13, Bills 7
vs.
The Baltimore Ravens looked more like the 2005 Ravens, which is a good thing for Ravens fans, as they defeated the Buffalo Bills 13-7 in a defensive battle. Quarterback Joe Flacco three for over 250 yards and one touchdown to receiver Mike Wallace. The Bills will need more from Tyrod Taylor, who three for just 111 yards in the loss. Sammy Watkins led the team with 43 yards on four catches. LeSean McCoy rushed for 58 yards and a touchdown for Buffalo. Fantasy football owners could not have been happy if they were tracking players from this game.

Buccaneers 31, Falcons 24
vs.
2015 NFL Rookie of the Year Jameis Winston continued his ascension to stardom with a 281 yard, four touchdown performance in a win over their NFC South rival Atlanta Falcons. The Buccaneers won 31-24 and continue their dominance over Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Ryan had a strong game, finishing with 334 yards and two touchdowns, one to star wideout Julio Jones. Atlanta had no ground threat, as the Bucs bottled up running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Tampa Bay had four different receivers catch a touchdown pass from Winston, including top target Mike Evans, who had five catches 99 yards. Doug Martin rushed for 62 yards and caught five passes for 34 yards.

Vikings 25, Titans 16
vs.
The Tennessee Titans turned the ball over three times in a 25-16 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings opened the 2016 season without starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who injured his knee during practice in the final week of preseason. The Vikings missed Bridgewater’s presence, as the offense failed to score a touchdown. Blair Walsh made four field goals and fill-in quarterback Shaun Hill managed the game for Minnesota. Fantasy football fans were expecting Adrian Peterson to run wild for the Vikings, but he finished with just 31 yards on 19 carries. Stefon Diggs caught seven passes for 103 yards. Expect newly-acquired quarterback Sam Bradford to step in for the Vikings in their week 2 matchup with the Green Bay Packers. The Titans’ Marcus Mariota threw for over 270 yards and two touchdowns, but did throw a pick-6 in the 2nd half. DeMarco Murray ran for just 42 yards and Tennessee didn’t use highly-touted rookie Derrick Henry enough for him to make an impact. Murray did catch five passes for 35 yards and two touchdowns.

Packers 27, Jaguars 23
vs.
The Green Bay Packers held on in 100+ degree on-field temperatures in Jacksonville to beat the Jaguars 27-23. In Jordy Nelson’s first game since tearing his ACL last preseason he caught six passes for 32 yards and a touchdown. Aaron Rodgers threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran in a score in the first quarter. Coming off of a disappointing 2015 season, Davante Adams caught three passes for 50 yards and a huge touchdown leading into halftime. Randall Cobb had six catches for 57 yards and Eddie Lacy showed flashes of dominance while rushing for 61 yards. The Jaguars have a lot to build from in a promising start to the 2016 season. Blake Bortles threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown to Julius Thomas. His top targets Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns finished with 72 and 75 yards, respectively. T.J. Yeldon filled in for the late scratch of Chris Ivory and rushed for a touchdown and had 69 total yards.

Texans 23, Bears 14
vs.
Quarterback Brock Osweiler won his Houston Texans debut 23-14 over the Chicago Bears. Osweiler found rookie wide receiver Will Fuller five times for 107 yards and a touchdown and finished the opener with 231 yards passing and two touchdowns. His top target, DeAndre Hopkins, caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. Texans fans and fantasy football owners have to feel good about Lamar Miller’s role in the offense as he finishes with 106 yards rushing on 28 carries. Former top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney had a strong game defensively, with a sack on Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Jay Cutler struggled to open the 2016 season, finishing with 216 yards and a touchdown and interception. Alshon Jeffery caught passes for 105 yards, but Bears fans and fantasy football owners are hoping for more than three catches for 34 yards from Kevin White. Jeremy Langford carried the ball 17 times for 57 yards and a touchdown.

Eagles 29, Browns 10
vs.
Second overall pick Carson Wentz was forced into starting for the Philadelphia Eagles after the abrupt trade of Sam Bradford to the Vikings. Wentz had a strong NFL debut completing 22-37 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns in a 29-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. Wentz found receiver Jordan Matthews seven times for 114 yards and a touchdown. Ryan Matthews rushed for 77 yards and scored once on the ground. A shoulder injury spoiled what was supposed to be Robert Griffin III’s return as a starting quarterback; Griffin finished the game throwing for 190 yards and an interception. Isaiah Crowell rushed for 62 yards and a touchdown for the Browns. Rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman displayed his big-play ability catching two passes for 69 yards.

Bengals 23, Jets 22
vs.
Mike Nugent’s 47-yard field goal with under a minute to play gave the Cincinnati Bengals a 23-22 road victory over the New York Jets. Quarterback Andy Dalton connected with A.J. Green 12 times for 180 yards and a touchdown. Dalton threw for 366 yards and the Bengals picked on Jets’ cornerback Darelle Revis, who covered Green for much of the game. Jeremy Hill rushed for just 31 yards, but did find the end zone in the second half. Matt Forte had a strong debut for New York, pleasing Jets fans and fantasy football owners with 96 yards rushing and 59 yards receiving. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 189 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Eric Decker caught one of the touchdown passes, but the Jets will need more than Brandon Marshall’s three catches for 32 yards performance on Sunday.

Raiders 35, Saints 34
vs.
Fantasy football owners love a shootout, and the Oakland Raiders gutsy 35-34 win over the New Orleans Saints was just that. Raiders coach Jack Del Rio boldly decided to go for two, rather than give Drew Brees the ball again and play for overtime, and it paid off. Drew Brees was able to throw the ball all over the field, passing for 423 yards and four touchdowns. Brees’ top targets, Bradin Cooks and Willie Snead, had monster fantasy football games. Snead caught nine passes for 172 yards and one touchdown and Cooks had six catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie wide receiver Michael Thomas had a strong debut, catching six passes for 58 yards. The Raiders rising star combination of Derek Carr and Amari Cooper opened the 2016 on a good note, connecting six times for 137 yards. Carr had 319 yards passing and one touchdown. Michael Crabtree had seven catches for 87 yards receiving. Everyone is hoping for a little more from running back Latavious Murray, who finished with 59 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown.

Chiefs 33, Chargers 27 (OT)
vs.
The comeback of week 1 happened at Arrowhead Stadium, as the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 21-point defecit in the second half to beat their AFC West rival San Diego Chargers 33-27 in overtime. With Jamaal Charles out for Kansas City, Spencer Ware stepped in and fantasy football owners who placed Ware in their lineup were rewarded by his monster game. Ware rushed for 70 yards on 11 carries with a touchdown and caught seven passes for 129 yards. So much for Alex Smith being labeled a game-manager, as he completed 34-48 passes for 363 yards and two touchdowns. The Chargers and quarterback Philip Rivers thought the game locked up as they took a 27-10 lead early in the fourth quarter. Rivers finished with 243 yards and a touchdown, but lost top receiver Keenan Allen to a devastating season-ending knee injury. San Diego’s rushing attack is off to a promising start, with second-year running back Melvin Gordon scoring twice on the ground and Danny Woodhead rushing for 89 yards and catching five passes for 31 yards and a touchdown.

Seahawks 12, Dolphins 10
vs.
It looked like the Seattle Seahawks had hit the snooze button to start the 2016 season, squeaking out a tight 12-10 win over the Miami Dolphins at home. The “12th Man” at CenturyLink Field had to be wondering when the Seahawks offense was going to show up. A banged-up Russell Wilson connected with Doug Baldwin for a 2-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute to play to put the Seahawks up for good. Wilson finished with 258 passing yards with one touchdown and an interception and found Baldwin nine times for 92 yards. The Seahawks defense allowed Miami only 254 yards and 11 first downs. Ryan Tannehill didn’t turn the ball over and threw for 186 yards and ran in the Dolphins’ only touchdown. Arian Foster’s Dolphins debut ended with 38 yards rushing and 62 receiving yards. Jarvis Landry was a hot fantasy football name and he finished with seven catches for 59 yards.

Lions 39, Colts 35
vs.
In what would be considered the upset of week 1 of the 2016 NFL season, the Detroit Lions won a shootout with the Indianapolis Colts, 39-35. Quarterbacks Matthew Stafford and Andrew Luck put on a show and rewarded fantasy football owners who drafted them, combining for seven touchdown passes on the Indy turf. The Lions’ Stafford finished completing 31-39 passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns in Detroit’s first game without future Hall of Fame receiver Calvin Johnson. Stafford completed seven passes to Golden Tate (41 yards) and connected with Marvin Jones four times for 85 yards. Detroit running backs Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick combined for three total touchdowns. You can’t blame Andrew Luck for the Colts loss, as he threw for 385 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 21 yards. Luck threw three touchdowns to tight ends Dwayne Allen (1) and Jack Doyle (2). Top targets T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief had solid season debuts, catching for 79 and 64 yards, respectively. Moncrief caught a 2-yard touchdown pass late in the first half.

Giants 20, Cowboys 19
vs.
A tough divisional game to start the 2016 NFL season has the Dallas Cowboys looking up at the New York Giants in the NFC East standings after a 20-19 finish. The Cowboys were looking to set up for a Dan Bailey game-winning field goal, but receiver Terrance Williams failed to get out of bounds as the final seconds ticked away. New York’s Eli Manning connected with Victor Cruz for a three-yard touchdown pass late in the fourth quarter to the Giants ahead; Manning finished 19-28 for 207 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy football fans saw receiver Odell Beckham Jr. projected in the top-3 and he had a solid, not stellar, performance catching four passes for 73 yards. Rookie Sterling Shepard caught three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown. All eyes were on the Cowboys’ prized rookie Ezekiel Elliott, who found the end zone and rushed for 51 yards. Wide receiver Dez Bryant was held to one catch for eight yards as he and rookie quarterback Dak Prescott (25-45, 227 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT) look to get on the same page entering week 2. Jason Witten caught nine passes for 66 yards in the loss.

Patriots 23, Cardinals 21
vs.
The Patriots found a way to win on the road without quarterback Tom Brady (serving 4-game suspension) and All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski against an NFC favorite Arizona Cardinals team. Jimmy Garoppolo filled in nicely for Brady, completing 24-33 passes for 264 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots 23-21 victory. Chris Hogan caught three passes for 60 yards and a touchdown and Julian Edelman had seven catches for 66 yards. Carson Palmer and the Cardinals didn’t play terribly, as he finished 24-37 for 271 yards and two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald (eight catches for 81 yards). Cardinals fans and fantasy football owners should feel good about running back David Johnson after he rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown to go along with four catches for 43 yards. These two teams could have a much more meaningful matchup in February.

Steelers 38, Redskins 16
vs.
The Pittsburgh Steelers are playing without a lot of offensive weapons, but that didn’t stop them from dominating the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. The Steelers were balanced on both sides of the ball, and the lethal combination of Ben Rothlisberger-to-Antonio Brown lived up to its billing. Antonio Brown rewarded fantasy football owners who drafted him with the top overall pick by catching eight passes for 126 yards and two touchdowns. Rothlisberger completed 27-37 passes for 300 yards and three touchdowns. While star running back Le’Veon Bell serves his three-game suspension, DeAngelo Williams carries the load for Pittsburgh. Williams exploded for 143 yards and two rushing touchdowns and caught six passes for 28 yards. The Redskins could never match the Steelers offensive production, and scored just one touchdown. Kirk Cousins finished 30-43 with 329 yards but threw two touchdowns in the loss. DeSean Jackson had a strong season opener catching six passes for 102 yards. Tight end Jordan Reed is a fantasy football favorite and fans shouldn’t be discouraged after a seven catch, 64-yard performance.

49ers 28, Rams 0
vs.
The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Los Angeles Rams 28-0 on a national stage in the double-header of Monday Night Football. The Rams managed just ten first downs and watched 49ers running back Carlos Hyde run over them for 88 yards and two touchdowns. Rams star running back Todd Gurley was held to 47 yards rushing on 17 carries. The Rams first game after moving back to Los Angeles from St. Louis didn’t go well, and Rams fans will be anxiously awaiting the top pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, Jared Goff, to take over at quarterback. Blaine Gabbert controlled the game for San Francisco (22-35, 170 yards, 1 TD) and left no reason for the 49ers to turn to Colin Kaepernick, who has stolen headlines more for his decision to sit or kneel during the National Anthem than for his play.
