If the AAF taught us anything, it's that a handful of players really will get another crack at the NFL. But those teams also have a combined 2-2 record and both those wins came over Tampa Bay (more on the Vipers below). It also pulled back to within four inside two minutes after a Houston touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Aaron Murray no longer belongs on the football field, as his performance on Sunday was tough on the eyes.We’re also concerned about head coach Marc Trestman. Artis-Payne specifically scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns of 21 yards and 17 yards, respectively. Here's what else we learned from the second weekend of XFL action. He was the only RB to reach 80 yards as most scores were passes or defensive plays.

While RBs didn’t play a HUGE factor in week 1, we saw Jones get a TON of volume. This is still a defense that can help carry New York to a playoff spot, but it will be hard to compete for a championship given some of the other performances we saw this week. He entered the NFL undrafted out of Colorado, was hampered by injuries and then bounced around some practice squads.

Now let's take a look at our XFL power rankings before Week 2.
The point being, the BattleHawks had a good second-half plan to possess the ball and keep it out of Houston's hands.

As for the Dallas Renegades, There were plenty of surprises from the XFL’s opening week, too. And he will be. St. Louis took advantage of the Renegades playing with their backup quarterback and it still just slipped by with a win.

June Jones’ run-and-shoot offense is an absolute delight to watch and he might have found the perfect quarterback to execute it. I like all of these players this week, but keep an eye on injuries and what else could open up as we move into week 2.

And Quinton Flowers continues to be a complementary piece behind center.

Besides, Phillips was excellent with eight catches for 63 yards and not one, not two, but three touchdowns. There he goes again! For reference, Dallas rushed for just 58 yards on 12 carries in its Week 1 loss to St. Louis. While I’m not going to pay too much for RBs in the FLEX options, if Jones is a go, he’s in there for sure in my lineups.This one is very intriguing to me.

Dallas averages 2.3 yards before contact per rush attempt, the best mark in the XFL. From a media standpoint, it's hard to get on McGloin for his honesty. Meanwhile, their punt return team blocked a kick and recovered it for a touchdown. WS1988 Gm1: Scully's call of Gibson memorable at-bat - Duration: 9:45.



Let’s see how teams match up and what the best bets for week 2 in the XFL will ultimately be. New York racked up eight quarterback hits, eight passes defended and shut down Tampa Bay’s offense on four red-zone trips. These are my XFL predictions for week 2. The XFL season is off and running after an exciting weekend to kickoff the 2020 campaign.
