Key Points:
- Vikings rookie Claiborne, nicknamed "Lightning," is viewed by Lewis as having potential for a game-breaking role, with opportunities to compete in the passing game this summer due to the team's current running back depth chart.
- The Denver Broncos struggled offensively in their Week 1 loss to the Chiefs, totaling only 176 yards, with new offensive coordinator Davis Webb's play-calling under scrutiny amid a tough upcoming schedule.
- Key Broncos receivers Jaylen Waddle, Courtland Sutton, and Pat Bryant all had limited production against Kansas City's defense, with Bryant showing promise but the overall passing game hampered by strong coverage.
- Tight end Evan Engram scored a touchdown despite limited yardage, while running backs RJ Harvey and J.K. Dobbins faced challenges in a low-output offense, making them risky fantasy options for Week 2.
- Chiefs players Tyquan Thornton and Xavier Worthy had minimal impact in Mahomes' return game, which was conservative and run-focused, suggesting both receivers should be considered low-priority in fantasy lineups moving forward.
