Fantasy Football Watchlist - Week 2

The key to Week 2 of the fantasy football season is to ignore much of what happened in Week 1. There is a unique element to Week 1 where we should hesitate before making rash decisions, but we also nee to incorporate what we saw. As humans we have an incredible urge to overreact to what we most recently saw. I’ve noticed many people looking to dump players they drafted in the single-digit rounds, there is no reason to do that if you drafted from my cheat sheet.

The Week 2 Waiver Wire appears to be chock-full of running backs, but a little light at the wide receiver position. Not many of the running backs we see are surprising, we probably drafted most of these players because of the strategy infused in the rankings and draft cheat sheet. The wide receivers are mostly possession receivers that could be valuable in PPR leagues.

Players We Can Drop

When we make waiver claims most of the time we can easily determine who to add, but we struggle with which players to drop. It is very difficult to give-up on a player we thought was worth drafting in the first place. If you are struggling, you should be dropping your questions or concerns in our FREE Discord channel. Don't be afraid of it, I'm over 50 and navigate it fairly well.

Oh Carolina!

Miles Sanders and Chuba Hubbard combined for 11 touches for 36 total yards, the Panthers appear to be headed for a rough season and it is unlikely that the running backs will see the game-script necessary to be fantasy relevant.

Parity in New England

We need to wait until Drake Maye takes the helm before buying back-in on the Patriot wide receivers, but we may not have to wait very long.

Jets Grounded

Mike Williams failed to record a target or touch in Monday night's 32-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Williams is just a stash at this point, and only if you have the bench space.

Sell High

J.K. Dobbins had thirteen touches in his first game back from an Achilles injury and two years removed from an ACL tear. Dobbins converted his 13 touches into 139 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. The numbers are quite skewed do to two breakaway runs that actually showed us how much Dobbins' has slowed-down. He still has his trademark vision and contact balance, but as defenses begin to prepare for him the worse it will get. He will likely have one more week of solid output (against Carolina), but 5 of the Chargers next 7 games are on the road, which is not fun on old, tired legs.

Rest of Season Rankings

There aren't many places we can get full rankings that have the rest of the season in mind, let alone rankings as accurate as ours. These Rest of Season Fantasy Football rankings have been among the most accurate over the past five seasons.
