Falcons leave shaky Younghoe Koo home, eleveate K Parker Romo
The Falcons downgraded Koo to out with a non-injury designation on Saturday. Koo has been Atlanta's kicker since 2019.
But Koo was wide right on a game-tying, 44-yard field-goal attempt with two seconds left in a 23-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1.
On Tuesday, Romo won a kicking competition held by the Falcons and was signed to the practice squad.
Ironically, Romo played four games for the Vikings last season and made 11 of 12 field goals and 7 of 8 extra points.
Romo, 28, played college football at Central Florida (2016), Tulsa (2018) and Virginia Tech (2019-21). He was 18 of 22 on field goals in 2021.
Koo, 31, is in his eighth NFL season. The South Korean has made 85.8 percent of his NFL field-goal attempts but connected on just 73.5 percent (25 of 34) last season.
The 2020 Pro Bowler was successful on boots of 41 and 36 yards last week against Tampa Bay before the game-deciding miss. The 36-yarder clanked off the right goalpost and caromed away.
Atlanta also placed safety (knee) Jordan Fuller on injured reserve and signed receiver David Sills V to the 53-man roster.

Cowboys' Tyler Smith signs $96M extension, best ever for a guard
Smith's deal includes $81.2 million in guaranteed money. The extension, which averages $24 million per season, runs through the 2030 season.
Trey Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs was the highest-paid guard when he signed a four-year, $94 million deal in July. His extension averages $23.5 million per season.
Tyler Smith, 24, was a Pro Bowl selection in each of the past two seasons and a second-team All Pro in 2023. His Week 1 start was his 48th straight since joining the Cowboys.
Smith was a first-round pick (No. 24 overall) from Tulsa in the 2022 draft. He will make $2.53 million this season in Year 4 of his rookie contract.

Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) returns to practice
Bowers caught five passes for a team-high 103 yards in Las Vegas' 20-13 win Sunday at New England, but the second-year standout took a hit to his right knee from the Patriots' Craig Woodson along the sideline late in the third quarter.
Bowers, 22, earned All-Pro recognition as a rookie with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns.

Saints acquire injured WR Ja'Lynn Polk from Patriots
While the Saints noted that they acquired the wideout for "future considerations," multiple media outlets reported they are picking up a seventh-round pick in the 2028 NFL Draft in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2027 draft.
Polk, 23, also underwent surgery on the same shoulder in March and missed all the offseason camps and workouts as well as the beginning of training camp. The game against Washington was his first since the March surgery.
Polk was a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2024 but was mostly a non-factor. He caught 12 passes for 87 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games (seven starts).
In his final college season (2023), Polk caught 69 passes for 1,159 yards and nine touchdowns for a Washington team that lost to Michigan in the College Football Playoff championship game.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy ruled out for Super Bowl rematch vs. Eagles
Worthy was listed as doubtful for the Chiefs (0-1) in the Super Bowl LIX rematch as he dealt with a dislocated right shoulder. The injury was sustained after he collided with teammate Travis Kelce on a crossing route in the season opener.
Saturday's news is not necessarily shocking, as Kansas City head coach Andy Reid said one day earlier that Worthy had a "slim" chance of playing.
While running drills at practice Thursday, Worthy was wearing a white protective sleeve on his right arm that included padding at the upper arm and shoulder. Worthy did not participate in Wednesday's practice and was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
Worthy enjoyed a fine rookie campaign last season when he scored nine touchdowns -- six receiving, three rushing. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards.
The 22-year-old was expected to help soften the early-season loss of Rashee Rice, who is serving a six-game suspension for violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy.
Rice, 25, was disciplined for his role in a multi-car, chain-reaction collision on a Dallas freeway in 2024. He pled guilty in July to two third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury.

Report: MRI confirms torn Achilles for Commanders' Austin Ekeler
Ekeler was injured on a non-contact play during the Commanders' 27-18 loss to the host Green Bay Packers on Thursday.
Ekeler, who has endured a series of ailments throughout his NFL career, fell after he tried to cut while running a route with less than six minutes left in the game. He had to be helped off the field before trainers examined his right foot. After being carted to the locker room, the 30-year-old veteran was ruled out.
"Thank you for all the love and well wishes. I appreciate you all," Ekeler wrote on Instagram.
The Commanders' starting running back, Ekeler tied for the team lead on Thursday with 17 rushing yards on eight carries. He also had two receptions for 7 yards.
Rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt, a seventh-round pick, also had 17 rushing yards against Green Bay. He rushed for 82 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries in a Week 1 victory over the New York Giants.
Ekeler broke his hand as a rookie in 2017 while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, then sustained a neck stinger and a concussion the following season.
In 2020, Ekeler went down with a hamstring strain and landed on injured reserve before returning, then suffered a concussion in the season finale. He injured his ankle in 2023 before enduring another concussion last season, his first with the Commanders.
In nine seasons with the Chargers (2017-23) and Commanders, Ekeler has rushed for 4,765 yards and 43 touchdowns on 1,081 carries. He also has 480 receptions for 4,288 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Report: Browns RB Quinshon Judkins expected to play vs. Ravens
An early second-round pick in this year's draft, Judkins signed his four-year, $11.4 million rookie contract last Saturday after an investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident in July in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Judkins was accused of punching a woman in the face, arm and thigh, but prosecutors announced in August that they would not be moving forward with the case.
He was listed as questionable to play against the Ravens after participating in practice on both Thursday and Friday.
Judkins, 21, rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two TDs in 16 games last season as Ohio State won the College Football Playoff national championship.
He rushed for 3,785 yards and 45 touchdowns, adding 442 receiving yards and five more scores over three seasons at Ole Miss (2022-23) and Ohio State (2024).
The Browns mustered just 49 rushing yards on 24 carries in the season-opening 17-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday. Rookie running back Dylan Sampson led the way with 29 yards.

Report: NFL fines Chargers DT Teair Tart for slap
The NFL reportedly fined Tart for his open-handed connection with the facemask of Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce last week as the Chargers defeated the Chiefs 27-21 in Sao Paulo.
A first offense for striking produces a $12,172 fine, per league rules. The fine is expected to be officially announced on Saturday, per standard NFL in-season procedure.
A third-quarter play had ended when Kelce and Tart were still battling, and Kelce pushed hard on Tart's left arm to disentangle them. Tart took a step forward, then delivered a hard shot that caused Kelce's head to snap backward.
Tart was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness, but he wasn't ejected, likely because he had an open hand and not a fist when making contact.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid argued this week that Tart should have been ejected.
"I don't understand that rule," Reid said. "I guess it's open-hand, fist, whatever, I don't know. I don't know what their decision was on that. But he definitely got hit in the head pretty hard, whether it was an open fist or a closed fist."
Tart, 28, had one tackle in the game. He is in his sixth NFL season, his second with the Chargers. In 65 career games (37 starts), he has 3.5 sacks, 109 tackles, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, two interceptions and 11 passed defensed.

Dolphins' Tyreek Hill opts to not address wife's abuse allegations
Hill and his wife, Keeta Vaccaro, are in the middle of a divorce, which spawned the legal documents that serve as the source of Vaccaro's accusations. Hill and Vaccaro married in November 2023, but reportedly split in April 2025. They have a nine-month-old daughter, Capri.
"My focus right now is just playing ball and spending time with my kids and just doing what I'm best at -- providing for my family," Hill told reporters. "So all the noise, I feel like if you allow that kind of stuff to get in the way of what you're trying to do, it can only cloud what you're really trying to get accomplished."
Meanwhile, Hill's attorney, Julius B. Collins, responded to TMZ on Monday and declared Vaccaro's allegations to be a "smear campaign" and "an attempt ... to shake Mr. Hill down."
Vaccaro's filing claims that Hill's first incident of domestic violence occurred in January 2024, just two months after their wedding. Hill has a history of being accused of domestic assault. While playing for Oklahoma State in 2014, Hill was charged with felony domestic assault and battery by strangulation. The school booted Hill from its football and track squads when he was charged.
The NFL did not invite Hill to its combine despite his world-class speed. The Kansas City Chiefs used a fifth-round pick on Hill in the 2016 draft and he earned All-Pro honors his rookie year. He returned two punts and one kick for touchdowns, along with six receiving scores and three rushing scores.
A five-time All-Pro now in his 10th season, Hill opened the 2025 campaign with four catches for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 road loss to the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday.

49ers QB Brock Purdy out; Mac Jones to start vs. Saints
Starting under center in Purdy's place will be Mac Jones, who took all the first-team reps in practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ahead of his first start with the 49ers. The 2021 first-round pick (No. 15 overall) of the New England Patriots signed a two-year deal for $7 million in March.
"Mac's been awesome," head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters this week. "Our team really believes in him."
As for Purdy, general manager John Lynch on Thursday told KNBR radio that the fourth-year signal-caller is "week to week."
"Brock is doing well," Lynch told KNBR. "He's doing a nice job, doing everything he can to get back out there as soon as possible. ... But that's where we're at, on a week-to-week deal."
Shanahan told reporters this week that Purdy's toe injury could keep him for multiple weeks.
Purdy, 25, completed 26 of 35 passes for 277 yards with two TDs and two picks in the season-opening 17-13 victory at Seattle. The 2023 Pro Bowl selection is 24-13 as the starter since being selected with the 262nd and final pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Jones, who turned 27 last week, played 10 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2024 after three seasons with the Patriots.
Jones is 20-29 in his career as a starter, completing 65.9 percent of his passes for 10,590 yards with 54 touchdowns and 44 interceptions. He made the Pro Bowl after his rookie campaign.
Adrian Martinez, who has not played in an NFL game, will be elevated to the active roster to back up Jones. Martinez, 25, served as a backup for the New York Jets for one game last season. He's also spent time with the Detroit Lions.
Already without star tight end George Kittle, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this week with a hamstring injury, the 49ers may be without Jauan Jennings (shoulder) and left tackle Trent Williams (knee), who are questionable. Both missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but did light work on Friday.

Falcons WRs Drake London, Darnell Mooney cleared to face Vikings
London, who left last week's 23-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late with a shoulder issue, practiced fully on Friday and carries no injury designation. The 23-year-old led Atlanta with 15 targets and finished with eight catches for 55 yards in Week 1 after a breakout 2024 season in which he ranked fourth in the NFL with 1,271 receiving yards.
Mooney, who injured his shoulder on the opening day of training camp and has not played since, will make his 2025 debut in Week 2. The veteran revitalized his career with the Falcons last season, posting 992 yards and a career-high five touchdowns.
The Falcons will be without offensive lineman Jack Nelson (calf), safety Jordan Fuller (knee), return specialist Jamal Agnew (groin) and reserve wide receiver Casey Washington (concussion). Rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. (groin), cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. (shoulder) and safety DeMarco Hellams (hamstring) are listed as questionable.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy has âslimâ chance to play vs. Eagles
"I'd probably tell you it's slim," Reid said Friday. "But there's still a chance to play, yeah."
Reid said Worthy was doing "very well" in his recovery after teammate Travis Kelce collided with him in Week 1 and dislocated his right shoulder.
While running drills at practice Thursday, Worthy was wearing a white protective sleeve on his right arm that included padding at the upper arm and shoulder. Worthy was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday.
The 2024 first-round draft pick had 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns for the Chiefs as a rookie. He also ran the ball 20 times for 104 yards and three TDs.
The Chiefs, who are preparing for a Super Bowl LIX rematch against the defending champion Eagles, ruled out receiver Jalen Royals (knee).

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee sprain) ruled out in Week 2 vs. Chiefs
Goedert, 30, sat out all three practices this week after sustaining the injury and was officially ruled out on the team's final injury report. The veteran caught 42 passes for 496 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games last year, and led the Eagles in receiving yards with 215 during their postseason run. He also had two receptions for 27 yards in Philadelphia's 40-22 Super Bowl victory over Kansas City.
With Goedert sidelined, the Eagles will turn to Grant Calcaterra and Kylen Granson at tight end, while practice-squad options Cameron Latu and E.J. Jenkins could be elevated. Wideout Jahan Dotson may also see increased snaps.
Philadelphia also ruled out rookie running back Will Shipley (oblique) and offensive tackle Cameron Williams (shoulder), while backup quarterback Tanner McKee (thumb) is listed as questionable. The Eagles travel to Kansas City at 1-0, facing a Chiefs team seeking to rebound from a Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Report: NFL to negotiate with Las Vegas for 2029 Super Bowl
Las Vegas, home to the Raiders since 2020, played host to Super Bowl LVIII in February of 2024 when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime at Allegiant Stadium.
The report cautions there is no guarantee that the league and the city will come to terms.
This season's Super Bowl is set for Feb. 8, 2026, at Santa Clara, Calif. The game will take place Levis Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers. The Los Angeles Rams are set to play host to the Super Bowl in February of 2027 at Inglewood, Calif., while the Atlanta Falcons are set to play host in February of 2028.
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, the city of New Orleans hopes to be considered for a Super Bowl as soon as 2031. New Orleans has played host to the Super Bowl 11 times, tied with the Miami metropolitan area for most all time.
The Super Bowl has been played in 16 different Super Bowl markets and at 27 different stadiums, with New Orleans' Superdome hosting the most times (eight).

Colts CB Charvarius Ward (concussion) out vs. Broncos
Ward played every snap in the Colts' 33-8 victory over Miami last Sunday. He shared game honors with safety Nick Cross with six tackles and four solo tackles. But the Colts placed him in concussion protocol on Wednesday, and the eight-year veteran and former member of the Kansas City Chiefs (2018-21) and San Francisco 49ers (2022-24) will miss a rare contest.
Moreover, the Colts are already without reserve corner Jaylon Jones (hamstring), who started in all 17 games last season.
Indianapolis held the Miami offense to 114 passing yards in the season opener.
Second-year cornerback Mekhi Blackmon, who came over from the Vikings last month, is expected to see more snaps behind veterans Kenny Moore II and Xavien Howard. Blackmon contributed three tackles in 22 snaps vs. Miami.
Ward, 29, has played in 103 games in his career, including all 17 regular season contests in 2022 and 2023. He earned a Super Bowl ring with the Chiefs in 2020.

Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) out vs. Dolphins
Gonzalez, who was a second-team All-Pro in 2024, has not participated in practice since sustaining the injury on July 28.
Also on Friday, Vrabel said defensive end Keion White will be out of Sunday's game against the host Miami Dolphins with an illness that has kept him out of practice all week.
White played 29 snaps and had a pair of tackles in last week's 20-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
When asked about the potential extent of White's absence, Vrabel told reporters, "He'll be out for Sunday. I'm not gonna speculate on what could happen after that."
Veteran right tackle Morgan Moses and linebacker Marte Mapu are listed as questionable for Sunday, per Vrabel. Rookie offensive tackle Marcus Bryant is ready to step in for Moses if needed, Vrabel said Friday.
Gonzalez, 23, recorded 59 tackles, 11 pass deflections and two interceptions while starting 16 games last season to earn a second-team All-Pro honor.
Selected with the 17th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, Gonzalez played just four games as a rookie before suffering a season-ending torn labrum.
In Gonzalez's absence, Carlton Davis, Alex Austin, and Marcus Jones will be tasked with slowing down the Dolphins' receiving tandem of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

Bears CB Kyler Gordon out, CB Jaylon Johnson to play vs. Lions
Gordon was a late addition to the injury report last week and also missed the season opener Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.
A former second-round draft pick in 2022, the 25-year-old has 207 tackles, five interceptions and four fumble recoveries in three seasons with the Bears.
The secondary will be bolstered with the addition of Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who had no injury designation Friday after missing the season opener with calf and groin injuries.
Johnson, 26, was named to the Pro Bowl in each of the past two seasons and has seven interceptions with 214 tackles and a fumble recovery in 70 games (all starts) over five seasons.
Chicago defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (knee) is questionable, while wide receiver Jahdae Walker (ankle) is doubtful.

Rams G Kevin Dotson (ankle) cleared to face Titans
Dotson and starting left guard Steve Avila both departed last Sunday's season-opening victory over the Houston Texans with sprained ankles and had been ruled week-to-week following the game.
While Dotson was limited in practice Thursday, Avila has not practiced this week and is considered doubtful for Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Fellow offensive lineman Rob Havenstein has returned to practice this week as he recovers from his own ankle injury.
Also doubtful for Sunday is tight end Colby Parkinson, who came away with a shoulder injury Sunday.
Dotson, 28, is in his third season with the Rams after three with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has started in 61 of the 70 NFL games he has played in his career.
Avila, 25, is in his third season with the Rams, and has started all 28 games of his career.

NFL Week 2: Predictions, Prop Pick for every game
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Bengals -3.5, Total 49.5
Prediction: Bengals 30-23
Prop Pick: Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase over 84.5 yards (-113 Bet365)
Chase was silent Week 1 (two catches, 26 yards). Last season he was held under 45 receiving yards twice. The two games after were a two-TD game vs. Washington (6-118) and a three-TD game at Baltimore (11-264).
Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Cowboys -5.5, Total 44.5
Prediction: Cowboys 27-16
Prop Pick: Giants QB Russell Wilson over .5 interceptions (-115, BetMGM)
Wilson's interception in Week 1 didn't count. It was wiped out because of a roughing-the-passer penalty on former teammate Bobby Wagner. Dallas locked down the Eagles' outside receivers in the opener and has a sticky-handed secondary that will make comeback mode a challenge if the Giants fall behind again.
Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Lions -5.5, Total 46.5
Prediction: Lions 28-20
Prop Pick: Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs 70-plus rushing yards plus anytime TD (+190, DraftKings)
Gibbs caught 10 passes last week and has been an animal at home. He also destroys the Bears. Gibbs had 975 yards from scrimmage (108.3 per game), 12 TDs (nine rushing) in nine home games last season. In four career games against the Bears, he has 435 total yards (108.8 per game) and three rushing touchdowns.
Tennessee Titans vs. Los Angeles Rams
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Rams -5.5, Total 41.5
Prediction: Rams 24-15
Prop Pick: Rams RB Kyren Williams over 74.5 rushing yards (-115, DraftKings)
Williams had at least 75 rushing yards in 10 games last season and is over 100 rushing yards in three consecutive road games.
Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Dolphins -1.5, Total 43.5
Prediction: Dolphins 26-13
Prop Pick: Patriots WR Stefon Diggs over 41.5 receiving yards (-110, Caesars)
Diggs was targeted seven times and caught six passes Week 1, and the Dolphins allowed more than nine yards per dropback to the Colts in the opener. With Diggs working inside and second-year QB Drake Maye programmed not to hold the ball by offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, this connection is very likely to be well-worn in Week 2.
New Orleans Saints vs. San Francisco 49ers
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: 49ers -4.5, Total 41.5
Prediction: 49ers 23-10
Prop Pick: Saints TE Juwan Johnson over 33.5 receiving yards (-110, FanDuel)
Johnson hit the over on receptions and receiving yards nine times in the past 13 games. He caught eight passes for 76 yards in Week 1.
New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Bills -6.5, Total 46.5
Prediction: Bills 26-22
Prop Pick: Bills QB Josh Allen over 5.5 rushing attempts (-120, FanDuel)
Allen has gone over his rushing total projection in six consecutive road games, and the Jets are committed to man coverage. RB James Cook came out of the Sunday night win banged up and Allen ran nine times with a TD at the Jets in 2024.
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Seattle Seahawks
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Steelers -2.5, Total 39.5
Prediction: Steelers 22-17
Prop Pick: Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet anytime TD (+220, FanDuel)
Pittsburgh's 17 missed tackles were the worst in the NFL in Week 1, and the Jets steamrolled the Steelers' run defense all day long to be in position to pull the upset. There's no fear of Sam Darnold tucking the ball to run, but Seattle does have an RB tandem to move the chains. Charbonnet shares time with Kenneth Walker but is the best option when Seattle needs to pick up hard yards. He scored his 10th career rushing touchdown last week.
Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns
Sunday, 1 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Ravens -10.5, Total 44.5
Prediction: Ravens 35-17
Prop Pick: Ravens TE Mark Andrews anytime TD (+165, )
Baltimore led the NFL with 17 red-zone TD passes in 2024. Andrews caught TD passes in both games against the Browns last season and hit Cleveland with a two-TD game in 2023. With all the focus on hemming in QB Lamar Jackson and handling RB Derrick Henry, Andrews is a great prop target Sunday. An Andrews parlay of over 3.5 receptions and 40.5 yards plus a touchdown is worth contemplation.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Broncos -1.5, Total 41.5
Prediction: Broncos QB Bo Nix over 34 pass attempts (+121, DraftKings)
Prop Pick: Nix attempted 40 passes last week and while he was miserable against the blitz and turned the ball over three times, coach Sean Payton doesn't change his stripes. He'll blend the running game, but the ball will be in the hands of the quarterback again this week.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers
Sunday, 4:05 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Cardinals -6.5, Total 45.5
Prediction: Cardinals 33-18
Prop Pick: Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard over 61.5 rushing yards (-115 at ESPNBet)
Hubbard hammered the Cardinals for 152 yards on 25 carries last season in an overtime win against Arizona. No doubt Arizona is prepared for the plow horse approach from Carolina this week, but can they stop it? After giving up 126.4 yards per game rushing last season, they allowed 4.9 yards per carry at New Orleans in Week 1.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Eagles -1.5, Total 46.5
Prediction: Eagles 31-23
Prop Pick: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes over 235.5 yards (-112, BetMGM)
Mahomes might not have his preferred pecking order at wide receiver, and Xavier Worthy was the biggest threat to Philadelphia in the Super Bowl loss. Even if Worthy isn't on the field, the Chiefs have to like what they saw out of the Dallas downfield passing game. Dak Prescott was a couple CeeDee Lamb drops from a 300-plus yard game in the opener and Mahomes had more than 235.5 yards in 10 games last season with the same mishmash receiving corps questions.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Atlanta Falcons
Sunday, 8:20 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Vikings -4.5, Total 45.5
Prediction: Vikings 26-23
Prop Pick: Falcons RB Bijan Robinson over 3.5 receptions (-110, Bet365)
Robinson caught six passes for 100 yards in Week 1,and if Drake London (shoulder) winds up missing time or being limited Sunday night, his 15 targets are going to be spread around with backs picking up more target share. Noteworthy value on Robinson at +146 for five-plus catches was also available at FanDuel. If you can get a good number on Falcons WR Ray-Ray McCloud, he caught eight passes for 98 yards with a season-high 11 receptions at Minnesota in December 2024.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Houston Texans
Monday, 7 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Texans -2.5, Total 42.5
Prediction: Texans 26-19
Prop Pick: Texans RB Nick Chubb longest run under 13 yards (-110, DraftKings)
Broken tackles and yards after contact are the route to success for Chubb. The Buccaneers wrapped up Robinson (12 carries, 24 yards) last week and Falcons' running backs had a long gain of six yards.
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Monday, 10 p.m. ET
FanDuel odds: Chargers -3, Total 46.5
Prediction: Chargers 27-13
Prop Pick: Raiders QB Geno Smith over 244.5 passing yards (-114 FanDuel)
Until Ashton Jeanty gets more consistent alleys to attack, the plan for defenses was set by the Patriots last week: stack the box and shoot gaps to make Smith complete short, quick passes all the way down the field. The over of 31.5 pass attempts is equally inviting, but value is short at -140 at FanDuel.

Reports: Ex-49ers K Jake Moody joins Bears' practice squad
Moody missed a pair of field goals in the 49ers' season opening 17-13 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. San Francisco signed kicker Eddy Pineiro on Wednesday.
Moody will provide insurance for the Bears behind veteran kicker Cairo Santos.
Moody, 25, kicked for the 49ers in each of the previous two seasons after he was a third-round draft pick out of Michigan in 2023. In 32 career NFL games he has made 46 of 62 field goals and 94 of 96 extra points.
