Philip Rivers got 9.2 YPA with a 4:0 TD:INT ratio in a dominant performance Sunday, as he carved up a shaky Jags defense despite missing Keenan Allen and losing Danny Woodhead early. Rivers struggled badly without Allen last season, but San Diego is better equipped to replace him in 2016, as newcomer Travis Benjamin secured all six of his targets for 115 yards and two scores, while Tyrell Williams is 6-4, 205 with 4.4 speed and looks like a potential beast. Antonio Gates has lost a step at age 36 but is still a legit red-zone threat, so Rivers can maintain QB1 status despite the losses on offense. He gets highly favorable matchups the next two weeks, when the Chargers travel to face the Colts and then get the Saints at home.

Both Benjamin and Williams should be treated as WR3s at minimum right now, and the latter is still available in more than half of Yahoo leagues…Tough break for Woodhead, but if his injury proves to be as serious as it looked, Melvin Gordon’s already rising fantasy stock gets an even further boost. Fantasy owners who drafted him as a rookie but not this year have to be extremely frustrated…Jason Verrett routinely shuts down opposing No. 1 wideouts, so don’t worry about Allen Robinson, who should still be viewed as a borderline top-five fantasy WR moving forward…So much for the concern about Blake Bortles not racking up garbage time stats this year…T.J. Yeldon got 10 yards on nine targets. If he’s not worth using in a matchup against a San Diego defense that gave up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing backs last season (and 199 yards to Spencer Ware last week) with Chris Ivory inactive, then when is he?

Josh McCown was a big boost for Cleveland, as he helped lead the Browns to three touchdowns during their first three drives. Corey Coleman looked terrific, and Isaiah Crowell did this. Unfortunately, McCown suffered what could be a serious injury, and all bets are off for everyone on Cleveland’s offense if they have to turn to Cody Kessler at quarterback…The Dolphins look like a great defense to stream in Week 3…The Ravens were down 20-2 in this game without recording a safety…Dennis Pitta should be treated as a TE1 as long as he can stay healthy, while Mike Wallace is suddenly a high-end WR3.

It’s been an ugly start to the year by Golden Tate, but he saw nine targets Sunday and should bounce back soon enough. He’s a possible buy-low candidate, although Marvin Jones is clearly the superior WR to own in Detroit…Oakland and Detroit allowed the most touchdowns to opposing tight ends last season, and after facing the Lions on Sunday, Delanie Walker gets the Raiders in Week 3…How about Andre Johnson with the late game-winning TD catch?…There were a whopping 29 penalties in this game…Theo Riddick was held in check, but it’s worth noting the Titans yielded the fewest receptions and the second fewest receiving yards to running backs last season. His value would obviously get a boost if Ameer Abdullah’s injury proves serious.

Jimmy Garrappolo had three TD tosses in the first 17 minutes, but the Pats covered by just a half a point after jumping out to a 24-0 lead. Jacoby Brissett is New England’s likely starting quarterback over the next two games, and he gets a quick turnaround to prepare for his first start facing a tough Houston defense Thursday…Nice to see Martellus Bennett used more than just as a blocker, but it’s safe to expect a lot of LeGarrette Blount over the next couple of weeks. He has as many fumbles this season (two) as he had over the last two years combined, but he made up for it with this sick hurdle. Blount is on pace to record 408 carries…DeVante Parker looked healthy and is immediately back on the fantasy radar. Owners can fire him up in Week 3 at home against the Browns.
