One week into the 2021 NFL season and we've already seen some big surprises and exciting matchups -- perhaps none more wild than the Monday night overtime ending in Las Vegas. As we head into Week 2, we asked ESPN insiders Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler for some insight into this week's slate. Which teams should we be worried about after disappointing opening games, and will we see improvements in their second outings? What were the biggest surprises of the first week, and are they sustainable? And yes, that includes discussion about the letdown from Aaron Rodgers and the Packers on Sunday.
Our experts also share their favorite upset picks for Week 2, including a Super Bowl contender falling after a strong opener. And for fantasy managers looking to make all the right moves, Graziano and Fowler name must-start sleepers and point out potential fantasy flops. They get into all of it and cap it off with everything else they've heard this week, from contract negotiations to injury statuses.
Let's get started with our top upset alerts, but you can also jump to other big questions for Week 2.
