INSIGHT

Dak Likely Rebounds Versus Giants

  • Dak Prescott was extremely unlucky in Week 1 with drops and near-misses that cost him yards and potential touchdowns.
  • The Giants pass defense underperformed and should give Prescott time and opportunity to bounce back in Week 2.
ADVICE

Play JK Dobbins As RB2

  • Start JK Dobbins as an RB2 this week given his snap share, red-zone role, and solid per-touch metrics.
  • Target Indy’s vulnerable run defense and expect Denver to lean on the ground game if Bo Nix struggles.
ADVICE

Consider Pacheco If Chiefs Lean Run

  • Consider starting Isaiah Pacheco despite a quiet opener because his per-touch metrics were strong and Kansas City can attack Philadelphia on the ground.
  • Expect Andy Reid to potentially lean on the run to chew clock against the Eagles, boosting Pacheco's upside.
