ESPN Fantasy Rugby: Player of the week
Unsurprisingly, Elliot Daly's 24 points means he is ESPN Fantasy Rugby's player of the week. This afternoon's hat-trick against France extends his haul to 35 points for the tournament, the most out of any player.
It's also a good week to have Owen Farrell in your team, especially if he is your designated kicker. The England captain racked up 16 points, including kicks, against France.

Some interesting stuff from England head coach Eddie Jones to ITV:
"I was really pleased with our second half. We shut them out and created some good opportunities. I was pleased with our second half more than our first half because we kept our discipline and our focus was good."
England go top
Here are the Six Nations standings after the second round of fixtures.
Wales vs England is set to be a cracker in two week's time.
It wasn't the prettiest second half (it took over an hour to play) but the damage was done by England in a brilliant opening 40 minutes.
A hat-trick from Jonny May, magical kicking from Owen Farrell and some powerful performances from Billy Vunipola and Manu Tuilagi. There are plenty of reasons for optimism for England.
That's also England's biggest win over France since 1911. The visitors were dreadful.
England have already secured one win over the French today, winning 41-26 to earn a bonus-point victory in the Women's Six Nations.
Good omen?
ESPN Fantasy Rugby: Players to watch
Listen up all you Fantasy Rugby managers, because these are the players you are most likely hoping will score you a ton of points this afternoon.
This match sees two of the game's most popular players come against face-to-face in England captain Owen Farrell and French skipper Guilhem Guirado.
England's Mako Vunipola was last week's top scoring prop, with the majority of his 12 points coming from a ridiculous 27 tackles against Ireland. Jonny May and Elliot Daly both scored from the back-three last week and are likely to be England's dangermen again this afternoon.
France's Louis Picamoles was Week 1's top scoring back-row with 11 points, keep an eye on him to deliver at Twickenham.
Team news
England have made two changes to the team that stormed to victory in Dublin last weekend with Chris Ashton and Courtney Lawes both starting.
Lawes comes in for the injured Maro Itoje while Ashton is preferred to Jack Nowell on the wing.
Ashton, who has scored 20 tries in 43 international appearances, is making his first Six Nations start since 2013 and Eddie Jones has tasked the winger with striking early on against the French this afternoon.
For France, Mathieu Bastareaud is one of six changes to Jacques Brunel's side. Bastareaud starts alongside Geoffrey Doumayrou in midfield while Gael Fickou is on the wing, with Yoann Huget moving to fullback.
Prop Demba Bamba makes his first Six Nations start in the front row. Lock Felix Lambey and flanker Yacouba Camara also come into the pack.
Hello and welcome to ESPN's live commentary of England against France.
It's the final match of the second week of fixtures following away wins for Ireland and Wales yesterday. Those results mean England can go top of the Six Nations table with a win, while France will be looking hit back after collapsing last week against the Welsh in Paris.
"Le Crunch" is at 3:00 p.m. GMT, and we'll bring you all the build-up ahead of the start of the match at Twickenham.
