NYG vs. WFT
Antonio Gibson: He disappointed in a tough matchup, and ultimately bad game script that led to J.D. McKissic’s high snap count. His week 1 usage was very promising, however, so don’t panic on him yet.
Terry McLaurin: McLaurin had a high-volume game with Heinicke under center, but this could be a great opportunity to sell high, as we shouldn’t expect many shootouts from this below-average offense.
Saquon Barkley: This is a perfect opportunity to buy low. After two tough matchups, Barkley’s snap count has gone drastically up, and the volume will soon come. It’s only a matter of time before he shows his first round value.
Sterling Shepherd: In a rare, high-scoring game for the Giants, Shepherd led their receiving corps, posting over 200 yards on 19 targets through two weeks. Barkley and Golladay will start commanding targets soon, however, so it could be a good opportunity to sell high.
NE vs. NYJ
Damien Harris: Harris topped 15 carries for the second week in a row on a high-level rushing offense, solidifying himself as a weekly low-RB2 option. No one else on the Patriots offense is a reliable weekly start.
Jets Offense: This was a putrid performance by New York, without much production from any position. None of the running backs are starter-worthy, while Corey Davis and Elijah Moore are matchup-dependent flex options.
DEN vs. JAX
Courtland Sutton: With the injury to Jerry Jeudy, Sutton has solidified himself as the number two option, making him a solid flex with Teddy Bridgewater at the helm.
Javonte Williams & Melvin Gordon: It is a 50-50 split between the two for now, but Williams has overwhelmingly been the better running back, and it’s only a matter of time before he takes over the backfield.
Jaguars Offense: Marvin Jones seems to be the only reliable option, without any consistent volume going to anyone but him. He should be viewed as a mid-high WR3 option on the awful Jaguars offense.
BUF vs. MIA
Josh Allen: This is a good opportunity to buy low, as Allen had a tough matchup and wasn’t asked to throw the ball much in the blowout. He also almost rushed for a touchdown before being downed at the one, spoiling his week.
Bills RBs: None of them are worthy to be in lineups, as they won’t see this type of volume, especially in the red zone, as Allen will likely vulture many yards and touchdowns in favorable game scripts.
Dolphins Offense: With the injury to Tua, none of the Dolphins starters can be trusted as starters besides Myles Gaskin, who should see enough volume through the air to keep him afloat as a low-end RB2.
LV vs. PIT
Darren Waller: After a 19-target outing in week 1, Waller came back down to Earth with a 7-target game in a tough matchup. Don’t overthink it, he’s still the TE2 in fantasy.
Raiders RBs: If Josh Jacobs stays out, Kenyan Drake is an intriguing flex option due to his high volume through the air as well as a little bit of ground work.
Najee Harris: He will be a consistent low RB1 option all year, purely due to his massive workload through the air and on the ground.
Steelers WRs: Diontae Johnson further solidified himself as the clear number one in Pittsburgh due to his high target share, making him a weekly mid-high WR2 option. It’s a toss-up between Claypool and Smith-Schuster, although the former possesses more upside.
NO vs. CAR
Alvin Kamara: It was a tough matchup and an unfavorable game script — he’s still a top-5 option.
Saints Passing Game: Winston is nothing more than an inconsistent, mid QB2, while none of the Saints receivers can be trusted until Michael Thomas returns.
Christian McCaffrey: He is and will remain the best player in fantasy for the rest of the year.
Panthers WRs: D.J. Moore is a great mid-WR2 option, as he should continue to see a high target count as the alpha receiver on a much-improved Panthers offense. Robby Anderson and Terrace Marshall are risky flex options.
PHI VS SF
Jalen Hurts: This was a very ugly game by both offenses, but Hurts’ rushing volume will keep him at his mid-low QB1 status.
Eagles Offense: Not much to take away from this game; Miles Sanders is still a good low-RB2 play and it is still going to be tough to trust any Eagles pass-catchers on a week-to-week basis.
HOU vs. CLE
Texans Offense: Brandin Cooks’ extreme target share on one of the worst teams in the league makes him a consistent WR2 option, as he will likely see many favorable game scripts as the year goes on. No one else on this team should be started.
Browns RBs: Nick Chubb’s relatively low volume is concerning, but the Brown’s rushing attack is so prolific that he should stay as a high floor, low-RB1. Kareem Hunt is a solid flex option.
Browns WRs: Odell Beckham Jr. becomes a mid WR3 with Jarvis Landry out due to a knee injury, while any other pass-catcher is at best a last-resort flex option.
SEA vs. TEN
Seahawks WRs: Tyler Lockett continued his season-opening tear in week two, making him a high-WR2 option. This is also a great opportunity to buy D.K. Metcalf, as he is seeing similar volume to Lockett and is still the alpha wide receiver.
Chris Carson: This game certainly did not favor Carson, as it was a high-scoring shootout, but he still managed to find the endzone twice on a low-volume, inefficient day. If you want to trade him, now is a good time to sell high.
Derrick Henry: He has seen nine targets through two weeks. If he continues to see even 3 targets per game, he will have a career year in fantasy football.
Titans WRs: The Titans offense finally started clicking, six quarters into the NFL season. Jones led the receiving corps by far, but it is the perfect time to buy low on A.J. Brown, who has seen more targets than Julio and has a higher touchdown ceiling.
LAR vs. IND
Cooper Kupp: He has turned out to be one of the biggest draft day steals, as he is the clear WR1 on one of the best passing offenses in football. He is currently a top-7 receiver in fantasy.
Rams Offense: Robert Woods saw a decent amount of targets, but they simply weren’t as valuable as Kupp’s, making him a mid-low WR2. Tyler Higbee had a down week against the tough Colts defense, but should be a decent mid-low TE1 option with high weekly upside. Darrell Henderson’s injury has opened the doors for increased volume for Sony Michel, which will make this backfield hard to trust.
Jonathan Taylor: In a very tough matchup, Taylor didn’t perform well, but showed great promise as a mid-low RB1 in week 1. However, Carson Wentz’ leg injuries could push him down the ranks.
Michael Pittman: After seeing 12 targets and over 100 receiving yards against a very tough defense, if Wentz can stay healthy, Pittman seems to be a very reliable flex option with high WR2 upside on a weekly basis.
CIN vs. CHI
Joe Burrow: Burrow looked encouraging in his return, but is yet to be a QB1. While his stock is on the rise, don’t start him in 1 Quarterback leagues just yet.
Bengals WRs: One of the better receiving corps in the league, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both remain solid WR2s this upcoming week. We’ll have to see if Burrow can continue to support them, but right now, it has looked very positive. Tee Higgins could be on the verge of a breakout game.
Joe Mixon: If you drafted him, you didn’t exactly want him for his efficiency. However, in fantasy football, volume is king. He will have his ten point performances, especially when he doesn’t score a touchdown, but his volume is up there with the likes of Derrick Henry.
Bears Offense: Justin Fields will be starting in week 3. This is the news that everybody has been waiting for, and it should be a major uptick to virtually everybody on the team, as David Montgomery and Allen Robinson are both still must-starts on every team. Cole Kmet becomes a very interesting player moving forward.
MIN vs. ARI
Cardinals Offense: Kyler Murray is having an MVP caliber season, and he and Deandre Hopkins are the ones to own here. Rondale Moore and Christian Kirk have weekly upside and are sleepers, but most likely will not retain consistent fantasy weeks moving forward. Chase Edmonds is also the RB to own in the backfield with a 64% snap share last week.
Vikings WRs: Both Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen are easy starters, with KJ Osborn being a sleeper. Get Justin Jefferson where you can, as he has yet to produce up to his true level in the last few weeks.
Dalvin Cook: The solidified RB2 behind CMC. He is starting to pick up some injuries, and with Mike Zimmer saying that he’ll be having Cook play through them, there is a little cause for worry. However, when healthy, set him in your lineup and forget about him.
DAL vs. LAC
Cowboys RBs: Zeke remains a top buy low candidate. First impressions matter, and the fact that he had a dud in week 1 will keep managers eager to trade him. However, Pollard’s workload of late has been a concern. Pollard could be a flex play in high scoring games this season, but remains a handcuff to Zeke.
Dak Prescott: This seemed to be a rather uncharacteristic game from Dak, throwing for no touchdowns and one interception. However, the Cowboys love to throw the ball. He is still a top fantasy QB heading into week 3.
Cowboys WRs: While you can’t expect much from the tight ends on the team, CeeDee is still a low WR1 and Amari a high WR2. In an off game for Dak, CeeDee still garnered 8 catches for 81 yards and is definitely the alpha receiver in this offense.
Austin Ekeler: After disappointing in week 1, Austin Ekeler bounced back with a more characteristic nine-target performance against Dallas. He is still a safe top ten running back moving forward, with his increased goal-line usage indicating intriguing upside.
Chargers Receiving Corps: Keenan Allen has always commanded an amazing target share, and this season appears to be no different. He continues to be a WR1. Mike Williams has also shown brightly these last two weeks, and is definitely a buy candidate. Everybody else, however, including Jared Cook, hopes for a touchdown in order to be fantasy relevant.
Justin Herbert: Although concerning, I’d give Herbert one last chance in what looks increasingly likely to be a shootout against the Chiefs. He hasn’t thrown for multiple touchdowns in one game, despite averaging over 40 pass attempts. His receivers seem to feed off the volume more than the touchdowns, and while this benefits his options down field, it doesn’t exactly translate into fantasy points for the quarterback. As well, he has no rushing upside either.
ATL vs. TB
Falcons Offense: This team is just horrible in general. The fact that their defense is so bad is encouraging for their receiving corps, as Matt Ryan will have to throw the ball a lot more. Although Calvin Ridley and Kyle Pitts are both top ten in their positions, Matt Ryan remains a concern for both of them. We’ve also yet to see enough from Pitts just yet.
Tom Brady: Brady will continue as a QB1. With so many options, it's very likely to see him start to reach higher into the top few quarterbacks sometime soon.
Buccaneers Receivers: Godwin remains the receiver to own in this group, but Mike Evans and Antonio Brown will both get their share in games this season. With Brown out for week 3, both Godwin and Evans should be in your starting roster.
Leonard Fournette: Fournette seems to have the starting role in this offense, but Ronald Jones will continue to eat into his workload, and Bernard is responsible for the third down work on the team. He will probably need a touchdown to perform, but is a solid weekly flex play.
Rob Gronkowski: Gronk has looked amazing in these two weeks, with two touchdowns in both games. While you should see a bit of regression, given how many mouths to feed there are at Tampa Bay, he will continue to be a set it and forget it tight end.
KC vs. BAL
Chiefs Offense: For fantasy purposes, Mahomes and Kelce remain at the top in their respective positions, while Tyreek is a top 3 WR. While Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be treated as an RB2, selling him while you can is probably advisable, as he lacks in efficiency and targets.
Lamar Jackson: Jackson has set himself up for another monster season, and his rushing upside helps his fantasy appeal immensely, averaging 14 carries for 95 yards per game.
Mark Andrews: While not having a good start to the season, Mark Andrews seems to lack the targets he needs to produce. He’ll have his 7 catches and 2 touchdown games, but on a weekly basis, he’ll still be extremely touchdown dependent.
Ravens Backfield: Ty’Son Williams is the only one that can be considered a flex play, as he remains the “starter”. The Ravens still intend on using this backfield as a committee.
DET vs. GB
Aaron Rodgers: Aaron Rodgers continues to be a QB1, despite a very poor week 1.
Davante Adams: This was a redemption week for Adams, as he put himself back into the top 2 at his position.
Aaron Jones: It almost seems like a biannual holiday for fantasy managers when Aaron Jones plays the Lions. He’ll continue as a full-fledged RB1, garnering 70% of the snap share despite being pulled from the game in the 4th quarter.
Robert Tonyan: Tonyan has not been commanding targets as much as his owners would have liked, with 7 in two games. You’re more hoping for him to fall into the endzone than looking for his true production from Rodgers at this point.
D’Andre Swift: Swift’s usage remains encouraging. The fact that Goff has an inability to heave the ball downfield works to his advantage. His average of 8 targets per game could lead to a monster PPR season, but the Lions as a whole will still struggle as a team, hurting Swift’s touchdown numbers.
Lions Receiving Corps: T.J. Hockenson is the only one you want here. He’s looking more and more like a set in stone TE3 this season. Unless you’re taking a shot at Quintez Cephus, everybody else seems to have forgotten how to catch or Goff just doesn’t like throwing to them.
