Here’s a look at some of the fantasy players who had the best and worst performances of the weekend. These players are already on fantasy rosters in most leagues, so take this information into potential trade talks as you try to sell high or buy low.

Daniel Jones, QB, Giants

Plus more winners and losers from Week 2 in the NFL.
Look, I get it. We all roll our eyes when it comes to anyone saying the Dallas Cowboys are for real. Year after year America’s Team is hyped to the moon at the first sign of success, only to falter and become the NFL equivalent of the boy who cried wolf.
We’ve been conditioned to hate the hype. The Cowboys are a distillate of capitalism in the NFL. A team that gets the most primetime games because of ratings, even though we’re told national games are earned.

An NFL ref wasn’t having any of Geno Smith’s complaints Sunday.
The Seattle Seahawks QB was fired up during the team’s 37-31 win over the Detroit Lions because he didn’t like an intentional grounding call.
Pete Carroll and Smith both couldn’t believe the call at the start of the fourth quarter with the Lions leading by four.

However, Carroll’s meltdown wasn’t the funniest part of the situation.

Deion Sanders has received a massive endorsement from O.J. Simpson after the Colorado Buffaloes improved to 3-0.
Colorado needed two overtimes to beat Colorado State over the weekend, and the ending was absolutely electric.
The Buffaloes intercepted the Rams on 4th & 18 to walk off the field with a 3-0 record. Well, O.J. Simpson was very impressed, and isn’t concerned about the fact the game was close.

Clemson running back Will Shipley appeared to be very angry during the team’s win against FAU over the weekend.
The Tigers smashed FAU 48-14, and the team’s star RB finished with just 38 yards on 10 carries. His slow start to his junior season continued as he now has only 225 rushing yards on 36 carries through 12 games and no rushing touchdowns.
Will Shipley and C.J. Spiller got into a heated argument during the team’s win over FAU.

It appears the Detroit Lions might have been hosed on the final play of the game against the Seahawks.
Seattle pulled off a solid overtime win on the road over the Lions when Geno Smith hit Tyler Lockett for a game-winning touchdown.
The Seahawks walked off the field with a 37-31 victory.

Did refs miss an obvious holding call on Seattle’s final play against the Detroit Lions?
However, it appears the Seahawks might have caught a lucky break Sunday against Detroit.

After two weeks, we have a little more to go on. But still, not enough to draw too many conclusions. That said, here’s what I’m taking away from a white-knuckle Sunday in the NFL, in my Ten Takeaways for Week 2 …
The AFC North is the toughest division in the league. And I’ll say that even with the shiner the San Francisco All-Star team put on the Steelers eight days ago.
The Ravens–Bengals game is a great example of why. And the perfect picture was drawn with Baltimore’s finish.

NFL Nation reporters react to all the action, answering lingering questions coming out of each game.

The Dolphins improved to 2–0 on the season with a win over the Patriots in New England on Sunday night. After the victory, star wide receiver Tyreek Hill gave a scathing review of the crowd at Gillette Stadium.
Speaking to reporters, Hill boldly called Patriots fans “some of the worst in the NFL.”
“Those fans are some of the worst in the NFL, and I’m gonna stand on that. Because they’re real nasty, and some of the things they were saying, I wouldn’t say in church,” said Hill, via Henry McKenna of FOX Sports.

For the first time in over two decades, the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick will begin a season without a win through two weeks following a tough loss to the Dolphins in primetime.
Miami’s 24–17 victory over New England dropped the club to 0–2 on the year, a record not seen under Belichick since his second season in Foxborough in 2001.
On a night where the Patriots crawled back from a 17–3 halftime deficit, the final dagger in their comeback bid came on a wild fourth-and-4 with a minute left in regulation.
