Caleb Williams A High-Risk Play For Week 2

This Sunday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a high-risk, high-reward option as he faces off against the high-scoring Houston Texans. Williams aims to bounce back from a rough Week 1, where he completed just 14 of 29 passes for 93 yards and failed to throw a touchdown. His average depth of target was […]

Brock Purdy Looks For Touchdown No. 1 In Minnesota

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will try to pick up a second-straight win in a Week 2 matchup versus the Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday. He'll be going up against a defense that was almost exactly league-average in 2023 for fantasy points per game allowed to opposing quarterbacks, but who held Purdy to 272 […]

Justin Fields A High-End QB2 In Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields is set to make a second consecutive start in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos. Fields was not asked to do much in last week's season opener but looked solid, completing nearly 74% of his passes. Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith finished as the QB7 in Week 1 against the Broncos, […]

Aaron Rodgers A Mid-Range QB2 In Week 2

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for 167 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran signal-caller will look for more in a Week 2 road showdown against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee's defense allowed the 19th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2023 and […]

Bo Nix Facing Another Stiff Defense In Second Career Start

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix was a little wobbly, as expected, in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on the road, but head coach Sean Payton mostly thinks that the team's offensive weapons need to step up around Nix. The 24-year-old Oregon product finished 26-for-42 for 138 yards and two interceptions while […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 2 (Friday Updates): Christian McCaffrey, A.J. Brown, Kenneth Walker III, Jordan Love, more

It may only be Week 2, but fantasy managers have plenty of players to worry about on the injury report. Some key players are already considered unlikely to play two days from gameday, while others are still on the fence. Our injury updates and reports for Week 2 as of Friday, September 13, 2024, will […]

Sam Darnold Likely To Disappoint In Week 2

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold surprised many fantasy managers by finishing as the 13th overall QB in Week 1 against the New York Giants and was a hair away from finishing in the top 10 in the position. However, Darnold and the Vikings will face much tougher competition in Week 2 as the San Francisco […]

Deshaun Watson A Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson turned in a disappointing outing in a Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran signal-caller will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Jacksonville's defense struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks in 2023, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to […]

Jalen Hurts Remains Top-Five Option Heading Into Week 2

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face the Atlanta Falcons in the team's first true home game on Monday night. The 26-year-old had a rough start to the game last weekend, but after a handful of stagnant drives that were highlighted by a few turnovers, Hurts was able to turn things around and finish with […]

Geno Smith A Mid- To Low-End QB2 In Week 2

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith is in store for his usual 15-20 fantasy points in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. Smith only threw for 171 yards in Week 1. He salvaged his fantasy day with a 34-yard touchdown run. The good news is that once Smith settled into offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb's offense, […]

Matthew Stafford In Line For Another Good Week

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford was one of just two quarterbacks in the NFL to surpass 300 yards passing in Week 1. Stafford did so against the Lions, going 34-of-49 passing for 317 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception. The first thing that stands out about Stafford's Week 1 line is his […]

Dolphins Not Putting A Timeline On Tua Tagovailoa's Recovery

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said on Friday that he's not putting a timeline on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) recovery after he suffered another scary concussion in Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Buffalo Bills. McDaniel said he has "zero idea" what any timeline might be and doesn't want to put pressure on Tagovailoa. […]

Malik Willis The Likely Starter In Week 2 Against Colts

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis will be the team's starting quarterback until Jordan Love (knee) can return from an MCL sprain he suffered at the end of the game in Week 1. However, the team has left the door open a crack as Love was designated as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis […]

Justin Fields - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: While Russell Wilson (calf) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, the Steelers have been preparing all week as if Justin Fields will be the starter this weekend. If that winds up being the case, fantasy managers should try to get […]

Will Levis Not A Fantasy Option Vs. Jets

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis faces the New York Jets in the team's home opener on Sunday. Week 1 was quite a struggle for Levis, who only threw for 127 yards and virtually gave the game away with two fourth quarter interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. While the Bears defense is […]

Lamar Jackson A Must-Start Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted a QB1-worthy performance on the opening night of the NFL's regular season and he'll aim to be even better in the team's first home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. The two-time MVP will get plenty of running opportunities on top of a bit of an easier matchup to […]

Patrick Mahomes Aiming For 2-0 Start

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 at Arrowhead Stadium this Sunday. Mahomes took home last week's victory against the Baltimore Ravens in the season opener. The Chiefs quarterback passed for 291 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the 27-20 win. Mahomes was incredibly efficient, […]

Jordan Love Questionable To Play In Week 2

The Green Bay Packers are officially listing quarterback Jordan Love (knee) as questionable to play in Week 2 at Lambeau Field on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts despite suffering a knee injury in the Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil last Friday. Love didn't practice all week after suffering an MCL sprain […]

Russell Wilson Listed As Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that he will list quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) as questionable for the Week 2 game in Denver against the Broncos. Wilson has been practicing on a limited basis this week, but all signs are pointing to him missing a second straight game to begin his tenure in Pittsburgh […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 2 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Fantasy Football Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers started the season off with a dominating 37-20 win against the Washington Commanders. In Week 1, the Oklahoma product arguably played the best among all the quarterbacks. Mayfield was the second-highest-scoring quarterback in PPR leagues in Week 1 […]

Kyler Murray "All Good" To Play In Week 2

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that the knee is not a concern for quarterback Kyler Murray (knee), calling him "all good" for the Week 2 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Murray found himself on the Cardinals' Week 2 injury report but has practiced in full all week and is not in […]

Derek Carr A Low-End QB2 After Strong Week 1

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr was unconscious in Week 1, completing 19-of-23 passes for three touchdowns. However, the veteran faces a much tougher opponent this week in a Dallas defense that shut down Cleveland in Week 1. The tough matchup makes it hard to consider Carr as a starting option even in two-quarterback formats. […]

Drake Maye Seeing Significant Amount Of First-Team Reps In Practices

New England Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye is seeing approximately 30% of the first-team reps at team practices, according to Evan Lazar. This is a significantly higher percentage that backups typically never see. Head coach Jerod Mayo explained that this is part of the development process for the North Carolina product. While fantasy managers should […]

Sam Darnold - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 1QB Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold had a good debut against the New York Giants in Week 1, tossing for 208 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. However, he is not a top-12 fantasy QB. He has very little rushing upside and is not a high-volume […]

De'Von Achane Has A Massive Performance On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane rushed 22 times for 96 yards and scored in Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He had an additional 69 yards through the air, catching all seven of his targets. With Raheem Mostert (chest) sidelined for the matchup, the second-year back received 29 touches as Mike McDaniel's […]

Matthew Stafford - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is a good real-life quarterback, but that doesn't always translate to fantasy scoring. He's also 36 years old and not very mobile, which is a downside for fantasy. Stafford isn't among the top-12 quarterbacks in fantasy in 2024. He's obviously a […]

Skylar Thompson The "Next Man Up"

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson entered Thursday night's game near the end of the third quarter when Tua Tagovailoa left the game with a concussion. Thompson completed eight of his 14 passing attempts for 80 yards and one carry for four yards. While the team evaluates Tagovailoa further on Monday, head coach Mike McDaniel said […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins had a disappointing Atlanta debut as he threw for 155 yards while completing 16 of his 26 passing attempts.

Caleb Williams - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams struggled in his NFL debut and should only be started in deeper formats this weekend.
