Hello, RotoBallers! Thursday is here, and we are back with our Week 2 half-PPR rankings for fantasy football as of September 14th. The Eagles and Vikings officially kick off Week 2 tonight. Injuries continue to mount up as Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) has been ruled out for Thursday Night Football. Fantasy managers of Gainwell might need to look at D'Andre Swift, Boston Scott, and Rashaad Penny as potential replacements.
Our goal, as always, is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players such as D'Andre Swift, Zack Moss, Brandon Aiyuk, Jordan Addison, Travis Kelce, Puka Nacua, Hunter Henry, Joshua Kelley, Allen Robinson II, Kyren Williams, Zay Jones, and Sam LaPorta rank, among others.
Our half-PPR fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchinson, and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
