- Cleveland Browns backup RB Jerome Ford could see a decent workload in Week 2: Coming off an inefficient week, there will be some opportunity for Ford to bounce back against a Cameron Heyward-less Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line.
- Roschon Johnson is an add in PPR leagues: Though the Chicago Bears running backs split snaps fairly evenly to start the year, rookie Roschon Johnson saw involvement as a receiver that could make him a viable flex play.
- Kendrick Bourne might be Mac Jones’ new favorite target: The New England Patriots offense looked much better under OC Bill O’Brien, and Bourne seems to be the biggest beneficiary of that.
