Houston Texans at Jacksonville Jaguars

Texans: No major injuries
Jaguars: WR Zay Jones (OUT)

Analysis: Zay Jones is dealing with a knee injury and after scoring exactly zero points for your fantasy team last week, it's understandable for fantasy managers to be a bit frustrated. This should lead to more targets in the passing game for Christian Kirk as Calvin Ridley's role in the offense seems firmly established.

If you're looking for a deep-league dart throw, sixth-round pick Parker Washington could make his 2023 debut here.

Denver Broncos at Miami Dolphins

Broncos: No major injuries
Dolphins: RB Salvon Ahmed (OUT), WR Jaylen Waddle (Questionable)

Analysis: The Dolphins have had the most potent offensive attack in the league through two games and it has been that way with Tua Tagovailoa throwing to guys like Braxton Berrios and River Cracraft. But the potential loss of Waddle could certainly take something away. It's a concussion, so you likely won't be without him long.

With Jeff Wilson on IR, Salvon Ahmed had some sneaky potential in fantasy leagues but he is going to miss this game with a groin injury. Rookie De'Von Achane could be in line for some more work.
