7:47 p.m. ET - That does it for the Sunday afternoon games. Thanks for joining us. Check back for our full recap of the day's action, including early waiver wire targets.

7:44 p.m. ET - With his last catch of the game, Jordy Nelson tops 200 yards receiving for the first time in his career.

7:24 p.m. ET - No running back in the Packers-Jets game is having an especially good day. Eddie Lacy's line is 11-for-36. Chris Ivory's is 11-36 and a touchdown. Chris Johnson's is 10-16. That's ugly.

7:04 p.m. ET - Emmanuel Sanders continues to benefit from Wes Welker's suspension and the increased playing time he's getting as a result of it. Sanders leads all Broncos receivers Sunday with seven catches for 104 yards.

6:59 p.m. ET - Jordy Nelson catches an 80-yard touchdown, eating Dee Milliner's lunch in the process. Nelson now has 190 yards receiving (a career high). Aaron Rodgers is over 300 yards passing.

6:53 p.m. ET - And now there are reports that Alshon Jeffery will play, too. Maybe the right move was to slow-play this one, but a lot of fantasy owners probably decided they couldn't wait until Sunday night and started someone else.

6:49 p.m. ET - Brandon Marshall is reportedly active for the Sunday nighter. Fantasy owners counting on him can rejoice.

6:44 p.m. ET - The Jets' secondary woes have caught up with them. After spotting the Jets a big lead, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers have chipped away and now taken the lead on a one-yard hookup between Rodgers and Randall Cobb. It's the second touchdown of the day for Cobb. Cobb followed it up by catching a two-point conversion.

6:40 p.m. ET - Montee Ball is leading the Broncos backfield in touches, but C.J. Anderson is also a factor. Ball has nine carries for 53 yards to Anderson's five for 31. Ball also has three catches for 29 yards. It may not be accurate to call Ball a true workhorse, but he's pretty close.

6:33 p.m. ET - Ryan Mathews' knee buckled on a run. He's being looked at by trainers and the cart is out. What a day.

6:23 p.m. ET - Russell Wilson connects with Marshawn Lynch on a 14-yard touchdown pass. Seahawks-Chargers is turning into a shootout, which is music to fantasy owners' ears.

6:14 p.m. ET - Reports of Antonio Gates' impending demise were greatly exaggerated. Gates now has three touchdown catches today - and they came against the Seahawks' top-ranked defense. Meanwhile, popular breakout candidate Ladarius Green is nowhere to be found.

6:12 p.m. ET - Jamaal Charles has been officially ruled out for the remainder of the game. For this week, at least, Knile Davis will carry the load for the Chiefs.

6:11 p.m. ET - Second-year receiver DeAndre Hopkins has a touchdown in a second straight week. He's developing into a real threat opposite Andre Johnson.

6:08 p.m. ET - Eddie Lacy had a disappointing first half. On three carries, Lacy produced just five rushing yards. He was a little more effective through the air, catching two passes for 18 yards. The Packers ran the ball only nine times (and four of them were by Aaron Rodgers).

6:02 p.m. ET - Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are both reportedly warming up ahead of the Bears' Sunday Night Football game. It's still unknown whether either will actually play, though. If you're a fantasy owner counting on one or both of them, check the official inactives when they are announced before the game. If you need a replacement, we have some suggestions.

5:59 p.m. ET - You can't hold Aaron Rodgers down for an entire half. The Jets kept him in check for 29 minutes, but Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for a six-yard touchdown with seconds left on the clock in the first half. Rodgers led the Packers on a 97-yard scoring drive to set it up.

5:53 p.m. ET - Peyton Manning and the Broncos just keep rolling (Super Bowl blip aside). This time, it's Demaryius Thomas on the receiving end of a beautiful Manning pass for a touchdown. Thomas made it look easy, fighting off a defender and securing the ball with one hand.

5:46 p.m. ET - Chris Ivory is clearly the Jets' best running back today. He has eight carries for 33 yards and a touchdown. Chris Johnson has six carries for seven yards.

5:44 p.m. ET - The Packers offense isn't doing much against the Jets, but kicker Mason Crosby has three field goals in the first half, including a 55-yarder.

5:40 p.m. ET - James Jones just fumbled twice on the same play. Starting Raiders players on your fantasy team probably isn't a good idea. That offense is a mess right now.

5:27 p.m. ET - Nearly every offensive player on the Broncos is owned in fantasy football. Jacob Tamme, however, is not. And he's the guy who just caught Peyton Manning's second touchdown of the afternoon.

5:25 p.m. ET - With Marshawn Lynch on the sideline getting a breather, Russell Wilson found a wide open Robert Turbin for a three-yard touchdown. The Seahawks got off to a sluggish start, but they are turning it on now.

5:20 p.m. ET - With Jamaal Charles out hurt, Knile Davis is showing the world what he can do. Davis is up to eight carries for 36 yards and a touchdown vs. the Broncos in relief of Charles. Davis also has two catches for seven yards. Charles is a massive loss for the Chiefs, but Davis is among the league's best backups. If Charles misses extended time, Davis will be the hottest name on the waiver wire this week.

5:18 p.m. ET - The Seahawks' vaunted defense can't stop Antonio Gates. He and Philip Rivers have now hooked up for two second-quarter touchdowns, both on eight-yard passes.

5:12 p.m. ET - Chris Ivory converts a four-yard run into a touchdown. The Jets are piling up points on the Packers.

5:07 p.m. ET - Chris Johnson is finding no running room today. His first five carries have gone for -1 yard. Geno Smith leads the Jets with four carries for 19 yards and a touchdown.

4:56 p.m. ET - Arian Foster makes up for the touchdown he had called back earlier by walking across the goal line nearly untouched on a six-yard run. The Texans are dominating the Raiders, so Foster's fantasy production probably isn't finished.

4:54 p.m. ET - Jamaal Charles is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

4:47 p.m. ET - Philip Rivers and Antonio Gates hook up for an eight-yard touchdown.

4:46 p.m. ET - Jamaal Charles has been taken to the locker room. Gulp.

4:45 p.m. ET - Is Geno Smith a viable fantasy starter? He has a rushing touchdown and passed for another - to Eric Decker - as the Jets are rolling over the Packers.

4:42 p.m. ET - The Jets defense is completely shutting down Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense so far. Rodgers is 1-for-2 for 13 yards and has a lost fumble. The Jets lead 14-0, so the Packers will need Rodgers to step it up.

4:40 p.m. ET - Knile Davis is running very effectively in relief of the injured Jamaal Charles. He has 26 yards on his first three carries.

4:38 p.m. ET - Jamaal Charles limps off with an apparent ankle injury.

4:36 p.m. ET - J.J. Watt catches a touchdown pass! Sorry, Texans DST owners. That touchdown doesn't count for you in standard fantasy leagues because it came on offense.

4:35 p.m. ET - Speaking of reviews, Percy Harvin scored on a 51-yard run despite clearly stepping out of bounds. All touchdowns are automatically reviewed. The officials blew this one.

4:35 p.m. ET - And Foster's touchdown is called back after a lengthy review.

4:32 p.m. ET - Arian Foster breaks off a 41-yard rushing touchdown. Early in the first quarter, he's carried the ball five times for 57 yards and a score. He could be in for a huge afternoon.

4:30 p.m. ET - Early in his fifth quarter of play this season, Julius Thomas catches his fourth touchdown pass. He's as close to unstoppable as there is in the NFL right now.

4:26 p.m. ET - Zac Stacy scores on a two-yard touchdown run.

4:19 p.m. ET - Popular waiver wire add Allen Hurns is down hurt. He could soon be popular drop candidate Allen Hurns.

4:16 p.m. ET - Josh McCown scores a rushing touchdown to open the scoring in the late afternoon games.

4:12 p.m. ET - Disappointing fantasy point totals: Tom Brady - 9.96, Shane Vereen - 4.00, Toby Gerhart - 1.40, Michael Floyd - 1.90, Pierre Garcon - 1.20, Marques Coltson - 0.00, Rob Gronkowski - 3.20.

4:10 p.m. ET - Top fantasy point totals as the 1 p.m. ET games draw to a close: Jimmy Graham - 23.80, Giovani Bernard - 22.90, DeMarco Murray - 21.30, Alfred Morris - 20.50, Delanie Walker - 20.20, Cam Newton - 19.14.

4:07 p.m. ET - Joique Bell racks up yardage in garbage time for the Lions. He finishes the game at 10-for-36 rushing, 6-for-61 receiving.

3:59 p.m. ET - Julio Jones limps off.

3:55 p.m. ET - Eli Manning has more fantasy points than quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Matthew Stafford and Matt Ryan, but he could have had a much bigger game. The Giants have dropped five passes today.

3:47 p.m. ET - Delanie Walker is up to 142 yards and a touchdown. Yes, Delanie Walker.

3:41 p.m. ET - Matt Ryan and Julio Jones salvage some fantasy production on an otherwise poor afternoon by hooking up for a 14-yard touchdown.

3:40 p.m. ET - Jonathan Stewart finally breaks through the Lions' stout defense and scores a two-yard rushing touchdown.

3:38 p.m. ET - Kirk Cousins throws his second touchdown of the afternoon in relief of an injured Robert Griffin III. Cousins will be a very popular waiver wire add this week.

3:37 p.m. ET - Toby Gerhart can't get anything going behind the Jaguars' offensive line. He has six carries for just five yards early in the fourth quarter.

3:29 p.m. ET - Kelvin Benjamin drops his third pass of the afternoon. Then he follows it up with a very, very pretty one-handed back-shoulder grab.

3:28 p.m. ET - Mark Ingram follows up his two-touchdown performance in Week 1 with a a one-yard rushing touchdown. He's up to 80 yards on the ground and is the Saints' clear leader in the run game.

3:26 p.m. ET - Giovani Bernard is up to 25 touches and the fourth quarter has only just begun. For now, he's proving he can be a workhorse back.

3:25 p.m. ET - Kelvin Benjamin is having an off day, but it's not for lack of trying. Cam Newton is targeting him with regularity, but the rookie only has one catch for 22 yards early in the fourth quarter.

3:22 p.m. ET - Sammy Watkins dives to the pylon to score the first touchdown of his NFL career. The Bills offense is cooking.

3:18 p.m. ET - After a week in which his role in the Cardinals offense was minimized, Larry Fitzgerald leads the team with six catches for 51 yards.

3:14 p.m. ET - Terrance West scores his first NFL touchdown on a nine-yard run. Both West and fellow rookie Isaiah Crowell look very good in relief of injured starter Ben Tate.

3:12 p.m. ET - Mike Wallace makes a one-handed touchdown catch. He looks primed for a major bounce-back season.

3:08 p.m. ET - Maurice Jones-Drew is officially inactive. Darren McFadden will start for the Raiders.

3:07 p.m. ET - Jeremy Hill vultures a touchdown from Giovani Bernard.

3:06 p.m. ET - Tony Romo finds Dez Bryant for a three-yard touchdown. Romo targeted Bryant on consecutive plays deep in the red zone.

3:02 p.m. ET - Don't look now, but Eli Manning is heating up. After some early turnovers, Manning has now passed for over 200 yards and two touchdowns (one each to Rueben Randle and Daniel Fells).

3:00 p.m. ET - Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham are officially over their slow start. The pair just connected on their second touchdown pass of the day, this time a one-yard grab by Graham.

2:58 p.m. ET - Mohamed Sanu and Andy Dalton hook up for a 76-yard touchdown. Sanu is the Bengals' top option in the passing game with A.J. Green out injured.

2:55 p.m. ET - C.J. Spiller rips off a 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. He won't get points for the yards in standard fantasy leagues, but the touchdown will count in many formats.

2:53 p.m. ET - Jake Locker and Delanie Walker hook up for a 61-yard touchdown. Locker and the Titans offense were popular picks in start-sit columns this week (including theScore's own Start, Sit, Stash, Quit).

2:49 p.m. ET - Matthew Stafford leads the Lions down the field and throws a touchdown to Jed Collins.

2:44 p.m. ET - Bengals kicker Mike Nugent missed three field goals in the first half. Ouch.

2:36 p.m. ET - Doug Martin is officially inactive for the Buccaneers.

2:35 p.m. ET - Toby Gerhart with five carries for just seven yards late in the first half. So much for the idea that he's the next Michael Turner.

2:29 p.m. ET - With seconds to go in the first half, Drew Brees and Jimmy Graham hook up on a nine-yard touchdown pass.

2:26 p.m. ET - Starting in place of an injured DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart carried the ball four times for just one single yard in the first half.

2:24 p.m. ET - The Panthers defense has bottled up the Lions' running backs. Reggie Bush and Joique Bell have combined for just 29 yards rushing on 11 carries.

2:17 p.m. ET - Drew Brees throws a pick-six to the Browns. He has -0.78 fantasy points near the end of the first half. The Browns DST has 16.00 points. Who saw that coming?

2:16 p.m. ET - Stevan Ridley has out-carried Shane Vereen 11 to two. Go figure.

2:12 p.m. ET - Rueben Randle beats Patrick Peterson to make a great touchdown catch. Randle was invisible in Week 1, but the Giants are making an effort to get him more involved this week.

2:11 p.m. ET - Giovani Bernard caps off his monstrous first half with a touchdown run. He's up to 18.90 fantasy points in standard leagues.

2:09 p.m. ET - Jimmy Graham has yet to catch a pass today.

2:07 p.m. ET - Giovani Bernard is up to 121 total yards late in the second half.

2:04 p.m. ET - Alfred Morris, the lone bright spot on a terrible afternoon for the Redskins, scores his second rushing touchdown of the day.

2:01 p.m. ET - Julio Jones just misses scoring a long touchdown. That makes two weeks in a row he's come within inches of scoring a long one.

1:59 p.m. ET - Julian Edelman scores on a nice corner route throw from Tom Brady.

1:56 p.m. ET - Cam Newton looks good in his 2014 debut. He's passing and rushing effectively.

1:52 p.m. ET - DeSean Jackson is ruled out for the rest of the game with a shoulder injury.

1:50 p.m. ET - On what has been a nightmarish afternoon for the Redskins, Alfred Morris scores a one-yard touchdown.

1:49 p.m. ET - Eli Manning has turned the ball over twice already (one interception, one fumble).

1:47 p.m. ET - Drew Brees has passed for a total of nine yards through one quarter.

1:44 p.m. ET - A.J. Green is officially out for the rest of the game with a toe injury.

1:43 p.m. ET - DeMarco Murray is running all over the Titans. He's at 11 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown early in the second quarter.

1:42 p.m. ET - Jake Locker, whom many so-called experts identified as a strong starter vs. the Cowboys' undermanned defense, is off to a rough start. He's just 2-of-6 for eight yards and one interception.

1:41 p.m. ET - RG3 is officially done for the day. Considering how the injury looked, he's likely done for a lot longer.

1:39 p.m. ET - Knowshon Moreno is reportedly done for the day with an arm injury.

1:35 p.m. ET - DeSean Jackson is hurt now. It looks like his shoulder. Players are dropping like flies.

1:33 p.m. ET - Knowshon Moreno suffers an apparent arm injury. It looked gruesome.

1:28 p.m. ET - Stevan Ridley scores a goal-line touchdown. He's clearly the team's goal-line back.

1:25 p.m. ET - Kirk Cousins throws a touchdown to Darrel Young on his first play in relief of Robert Griffin III.

1:23 p.m. ET - RG3 is hurt. A.J. Green is, too. This has been a brutal start to Week 2 with respect to injury scares for major fantasy football stars.

1:21 p.m. ET - The Bengals are riding running backs Gio Bernard and Jeremy Hill. The duo has accounted for all eight of the team's offensive touches so far. No receiver has a catch.

1:19 p.m. ET - Larry Fitzgerald has a touchdown overturned upon review. Jonathan Dwyer punches it in immediately after.

1:18 p.m. ET - C.J. Spiller is back in the game. Dez Bryant is expected to return, too. Huge sigh of relief.

1:14 p.m. ET - C.J. Spiller heads to the locker room with an apparent injury.

1:13 p.m. ET - Matt Asiata scores on a 25-yard run. Asiata is starting in place of Adrian Peterson.

1:12 p.m. ET - Dez Bryant leaves the game with an apparent shoulder injury.

1:00 p.m. ET - Here we go!

12:49 p.m. ET - Get Doug Martin out of your lineup. FOX Sports' Jay Glazer says he isn't playing.

12:46 p.m. ET - Nothing is confirmed, but reports continue to suggest Doug Martin won't play in the late afternoon game. Make sure you have another option on your roster.

12:20 p.m. ET - Cecil Shorts is out for the Jaguars, giving Week 1 star Allen Hurns the start. It's not insane to suggest he's worth inserting into your lineup if you claimed him on waivers this week.

12:15 p.m. ET - There are rumors that Doug Martin will not play today. We'll monitor this situation and post an update.

12:11 p.m. ET - For lineup questions, consult our weekly positional rankings. Fresh, updated rankings went up Sunday morning.

12:09 p.m. ET - Surely you already know this, but Adrian Peterson is inactive. Get him out of your lineup. Try to find someone better than Matt Asiata to replace him.

12:08 p.m. ET - Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are expected to be inactive for the Bears' Sunday night game. Who are the best replacement options? We have a few recommendations.

12:07 p.m. ET - Andre Ellington is active. Carson Palmer isn't, so the Cardinals could lean on their second-year running back. Ellington is nursing a foot injury, but it didn't slow him down too much last week.

12:06 p.m. ET - Jordan Cameron is officially inactive for the Browns. Delanie Walker and Travis Kelce are decent replacement options.

12:05 p.m. ET - DeAngelo Williams won't play for the Panthers, giving Jonathan Stewart the start. Stewart looked good in the preseason and he's finally healthy. If you can get him into your lineup (preferably as a FLEX), do it.

12:03 p.m. ET - And we're off! Thanks for joining us again this week for our live fantasy coverage.
