Week 2 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups Include Tyler Boyd, DJ Chark, Joshua Palmer, Rachaad White, Rex Burkhead

Rex Burkhead - Fantasy Football Rankings, Waiver Wire Pickups, Draft Sleepers

Welcome to Week 2 RotoBallers! We finally made it to Week 1, and it did not disappoint as we were treated to an action-packed weekend filled with big fantasy football performances, disappointments and of course injuries. As always we're here to help you sift through it.

Each week our NFL team puts out a complete array of fantasy football waiver wire articles, and here is a quick rundown if you're not familiar. Our fantasy football waiver wire articles get published on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. First up is our overall waiver wire article, by lead analyst Pierre Camus, and the famous waiver wire express lightning round compliments of Nick Mariano. These give a nice overview of the waiver wire pickup options each week.

If you're in a league with FAAB waivers (blind bids), our top-notch FAAB waiver wire article by Nick Mariano is a must-read. He lists the players to target off the waiver wire, and how much of your remaining FAAB budget to spend. In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backswide receiverstight endsquarterbacks, defenses, kickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for the 2025 playoffs:

 

Who To Pickup for Fantasy Football Week 2?

Are you looking for a more direct and structured list of prioritized players to add off the waiver wire?

This article is final piece of the weekly waiver wire pickups series, and its goal is to show you our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

So below you will find the overall rankings list, and below that each individual position in priority order. Hopefully this helps you win your waiver wire this week and bolster your roster for Week 13! Let's get to it.
