Dak Prescott vs. NYG

Despite the Dallas Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, 'America's Team' showed a lot of promise. The offense was keeping pace with last year's Super Bowl runner-ups.

This bodes well for Dak Prescott ahead of their home game against a porous New York Giants defense that couldn't keep an even worse offense in the Commanders game.

Drake Maye vs. MIA

Quarterback Drake Maye and the New England Patriots might have fallen short in beating Pete Carroll's Las Vegas Raiders, but they played fairly consistently across the board.

However, Maye's upside in Week 2 lies more in their opponents than their own offense. The Miami Dolphins got run out of town by Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts, suggesting that Miami is still figuring things out. This figures to make NE vs. MIA a favorable matchup for Maye.

Kyler Murray vs. CAR

The Carolina Panthers had the brakes beat off them in Week 1 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bryce Young isn't looking like the Panthers' future yet, and the defense isn't showing much promise.

Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are coming off a division rivalry win and figure to take the Panthers to task, making it a hot matchup for Murray.
