NFL Scores Week 2: Results and Top Fantasy Football Stars for Sunday Games

All the doom and gloom hovering around the New England Patriots didn't have a chance to stay long, thanks to a dominant Week 2 performance from Tom Brady and company.

He was sharp all game, finishing 30-of-39 for 447 yards and three touchdowns. But he wasn't the only fantasy star making headlines Sunday. Each matchup's biggest fantasy producer can be found below:

After stumbling out of the gates with a 16-of-36 performance against Kansas City, there were whispers that age was finally catching up to Brady.

Fox Sports' First Things First aired a segment entitled, "Tom Brady played like a 40 year-old quarterback against the Chiefs in Week 1." Newsweek's Teddy Cutler used the words "doom-laden" in his recap.

But Brady's not as worried.

"I want to play until my mid-40s," Brady says in his new book, per ESPN's Mike Reiss. "And I realize that requires a focused, disciplined approach. I've always been motivated to target and improve on my deficiencies, and I still am."

Well, the deficiencies Brady showed in Week 1—indecisiveness, missing open receivers and generally looking like an old man in a young man's game—appear to have been taken care of.

He was the familiarly surgical Brady against the New Orleans Saints defense, hitting receivers in stride and all over the field. Even with the loss of Julian Edelman, if New England has this version of Brady, it's a very real threat to repeat as the Super Bowl champion.

With Brady going off, it should come as little surprise that one of his favorite targets over the last several years, Rob Gronkowski, did too.

Gronk went for 116 yards on six receptions and hauled in a touchdown, as seen on the NFL's Twitter account:

Unfortunately, Gronkowski being hampered by injuries has become about as familiar a sight as him dominating for Patriots fans.

He was well on his way to an even bigger performance before a groin injury sent him to the bench early, per the team's Twitter:

New England can ill-afford another injury to its receiving corps, especially to someone as important as Gronk. His health will be something to keep an eye on all season.

Kareem Hunt

After his 246 yards from scrimmage set a record for an NFL debut, Kareem Hunt followed up his eye-opening Week 1 with another 81 rushing yards and two touchdowns on Sunday.

If you're lucky enough to have him on your fantasy squad, you're probably in pretty good shape, as noted by CBS Sports:

On his first touchdown of the day, seen here on the Chiefs' Twitter account, Hunt was seemingly to the secondary before it could even realize he'd flown through the hole:

His explosiveness out of the backfield gives Kansas City a layer to its offense that it hasn't really had since before Jamaal Charles' injury problems.

If he continues on this trajectory all season long, Chiefs fans have every reason to believe their team is for real. And fantasy owners smart enough to draft Hunt should feel the same way.

Michael Crabtree

The Oakland Raiders rained all over the New York Jets to the tune of a 45-20 victory, and Michael Crabtree was the lightning.

Derek Carr was looking for Crabtree all day and connected with him six times for 80 yards. Three of them were touchdowns, including this fourth-quarter strike shared by the NFL:

With Carr and Crabtree clearly on the same page, Oakland looks to have one of the league's more dynamic offenses. And with Marshawn Lynch keeping defenses honest, Crabtree could have more big fantasy weeks in the future.

Defense was supposed to be the strength of the Denver Broncos heading into the 2017 season. And while they've been solid on that side of the ball, it was the offense that carried the day Sunday.

Trevor Siemian threw for four touchdowns, and one of his scoring strikes went to battering-ram running back C.J. Anderson.

Anderson finished the game with 154 yards from scrimmage and two total touchdowns. The NFL's Twitter account shared video of him rumbling in for his score on the ground:

One of the biggest problems with Denver's offense last season was a lack of balance. It could never quite find traction in the running game, but with Anderson and Jamaal Charles healthy, it looks like that won't be the case this year.

If Anderson can stay on the field (he went down with a torn meniscus last season), Denver's offense should be in much better shape going forward.
