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 held Caleb Williams to 93 passing yards without a touchdown in Week 1 this year. That being said, the Titans defense should be a bit more forgiving opponent than the 49ers were, making Rodgers a reasonable fantasy option as a QB2.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall turned in a big performance in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, running for 54 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches for 39 yards. He will look to find the end zone again in Week 2's road matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee was tough against the run in 2023 and held D'Andre Swift to 30 yards on 10 carries in Week 1 but Hall's extensive usage in the passing game makes him a safe fantasy play even in tough matchups. Fantasy gamers can confidently start Hall as a top-three fantasy running back in fantasy heading into Week 2.

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught six of his 11 targets for 60 yards in a Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wide receiver will look to keep it going in a Week 2 road matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Tennessee struggled to slow fantasy receivers in 2023, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points per game to the position. Wilson paced the Jets in targets in Week 1 and should continue to operate as Aaron Rodgers' first read moving forward. That puts Wilson on the map as a top-10 fantasy receiver heading into Week 2.

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made a 51-yard field goal, his lone attempt, in a Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Hopkins will now head on the road to face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2. Jacksonville gave up three field-goal attempts to Jason Sanders when they faced the Miami Dolphins back in the season opener. The Cleveland offense didn't show much to evoke optimism in Week 1, so Hopkins might not hear his number called much this weekend if the struggles continue. That leaves him as a low-end fantasy kicker heading into Week 2.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely became the waiver addition of the week after a huge performance against the Kansas City Chiefs. While Mark Andrews helped with the lack of blocking from the offensive line, Likely was finding plenty of separation to the tune of a 100-yard game. Now, the Ravens have a committee at tight end with both of them playing a bigger part in the passing game than a lot of wide receivers. If Andrews has to help out blocking again, Likely could be in line for another big game. The Raiders tight end coverage isn't the best, but they do have Maxx Crosby to worry about. The ultimate decider between Likely and Andrews comes down to the game script, but Likely should be a high-end TE2 even if he doesn't garner 30% of the target share as he did in Week 1.

The Cleveland Browns defense turned in a rough showing in Week 1's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, allowing 33 points while notching three sacks. They will look to tighten it up in a Week 2 road matchup against Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lawrence got sacked three times in Week 1's loss to the Miami Dolphins, but Cleveland could be without star pass rusher Myles Garrett (foot) who missed practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday. A Garrett absence would be a big hole for the Browns to fill this weekend. If Garrett ends up playing, Cleveland's defense can be trusted as a fringe top-12 unit in Week 2.

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 carrying the ball five times for 35 yards and a rushing TD. Thirteen of his completions went for four or fewer yards. At best, Nix will be a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues against a swarming Steelers defense. Expect Denver to prioritize the ground game a bit more against Pittsburgh while continuing to mostly give Nix shorter targets to help him succeed and build his confidence. The Steelers held Kirk Cousins to 155 yards passing in Week 1. Nix has a tough opening schedule, so fantasy managers should expect more growing pains.

New England Patriots running back JaMycal Hasty (knee) has officially been labeled as questionable ahead of the team's Week 2 matchup. The Pats will square off against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday in their home opener, coming off a surprising 16-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old popped up on the injury report this past Thursday and logged back-to-back limited sessions leading up to the weekend. Hasty did not receive a touch out of the backfield during Week 1 but was the only Patriot to return a kick in the win. If he were unable to play, rookie wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk would be set to get work on returns alongside backup running back Antonio Gibson. Additionally, New England could decide to sign or elevate another running back to the roster as insurance on game day, with just Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson the only active players at the position.

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford turned in a solid outing in a Week 1 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, catching six passes for 25 yards and rushing for 44 yards and a touchdown. He will look to keep it going in a Week 2 road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs in 2023 and allowed De'Von Achane to run for a touchdown while catching seven passes for 76 yards in Week 1 this season. Ford saw all but four running-back touches last week and should be in for another heavy workload against the Jags, leaving him as a solid RB2 in PPR leagues this weekend.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper turned in a disappointing Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, catching just two passes for 16 yards and dropping a long would-be touchdown near the Dallas five-yard line. He will look to bounce back in a much more favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 2. The Jaguars secondary struggled in Week 1, allowing both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to post 100-yard games. While the Cleveland offense looked bad in Week 1, Cooper should find more room to operate this weekend, making him a high-end WR3.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The Rams will be on the road for the second week in a row, but they'll do it without their second-year TE. Allen played just 8% of snaps last week, while fellow teammate Colby Parkinson played 88% to Hunter Long's 4%. Parkinson was far and away the biggest benefactor amongst Rams tight ends in Week 1 and should continue to see an elevated snap and target share, with Puka Nacua (knee) set to miss the next four games on IR. Allen performed well late last season while filling in for Tyler Higbee (knee) and looked poised to take on a more significant role in 2024. However, he'll have to wait at least one more week to register his first catch of the campaign. He can be left on waiver wires for now.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (Achilles) was on the team's injury report this week but managed to put in a full practice on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into the Week 2 contest on Sunday in Denver against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We aren't necessarily recommending Reynolds as a flex play in standard-sized 12-team fantasy leagues, but he's going to have a bit more upside with rookie Devaughn Vele (ribs) being ruled out. In the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Vele played nearly half the offensive snaps and received eight targets, which is as many as Reynolds had on his way to a five-catch, 45-yard day in his Broncos debut. The 29-year-old should have an expanded role behind Courtland Sutton, but fantasy managers should still temper their expectations with quarterback Bo Nix making just his second career start against a Steelers defense that shut down the Falcons in Week 1.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy turned in a solid Week 1, catching three passes for 25 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He will look to score for a second straight game in a Week 2 road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville's secondary struggled against the pass in Week 1, allowing both Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle to post 100-yard receiving games against them. The Cleveland pass offense could still use some work based on their Week 1 performance but Jeudy is in play as a decent flex option in fantasy leagues heading into Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews received a minuscule two targets in the team's first contest to the surprise of fantasy managers everywhere. He played more of a blocking role than a receiving role as the offensive line was in desperate need of help with Chris Jones in the backfield seemingly all the time. The Chiefs also game-planned to take Andrews out of the passing game, so it was an uphill battle all night long. Andrews will likely go up against Robert Spillane whose coverage grade isn't one of the highest for linebackers. Isaiah Likely may have proven to be a formidable tight end as well, but Andrews still has the chemistry with Lamar Jackson and ran 38 routes out of his 59 snaps in Week 1. He'll continue to run plenty of routes and should see a return to the mean target-wise. Fantasy managers can look to Andrews as a low-end TE1 in Week 2.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele (ribs) missed practice all week with an injury to his ribs and was officially ruled out on Friday for the team's Week 2 home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It's extremely disappointing for Vele, who caught all eight of his targets for 39 yards on 49% of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old seventh-round selection this year seems to have already built some nice chemistry with fellow rookie quarterback Bo Nix, but he'll have to get healthy first before hoping to carve out a role as the WR3 in Denver in his first year in the NFL. For now, Vele is mostly just a bench stash in deep fantasy leagues and dynasty/keeper formats. Vele's absence on Sunday will create more targets for Courtland Sutton, Josh Reynolds and Marvin Mims Jr. against a tough defense.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold surprised many fantasy managers by finishing as the 13th overall quarterback in Week 1 against the New York Giants and was a hair away from finishing in the top ten in the position. However, Darnold and the Vikings will face much tougher competition in Week 2 as the San Francisco 49ers travel to Minnesota. The 49ers defense held Aaron Rodgers to less than 10 fantasy points and under 200 yards passing on Monday Night Football. Added to the defensive challenge, the Vikings have ruled out wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) for Week 2, limiting potential explosive possibilities for Darnold's passing attack. While the seven-year veteran quarterback may perform better than Rodgers due to the better team and health context surrounding him, expect Darnold to regress a bit this week. He is mainly an option in 2QB or superflex leagues for Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a fairly quiet day salvaged by a second-quarter touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 1. A WR15 finish in half-point per reception leagues likely wasn't the result fantasy managers were hoping for, but anticipate more targets in his direction this week against a much tougher San Francisco team. The Vikings only passed the ball 11 times in the second half and only eight times in their last five drives as the team comfortably led the Giants. A reduction in efficiency for the Vikings offense is naturally expected this week as Jordan Addison (ankle) has been ruled out for this matchup. Expect either a closer matchup or roles being reversed and the Vikings being behind big against a talented 49ers team, which would necessitate more passing attempts and likely greater volume numbers for the best wide receiver on the roster without the WR2 playing. Despite the tough matchup, Jefferson is a must-start and WR6 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers received targets in all sorts of ways in Week 1, but it didn't amount to a touchdown or many yards. His value is at its highest in PPR and half-PPR formats, and that trend is likely to continue against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2. The main reason he hasn't reached steady WR1 territory is the lack of yards per route run (0.69) and his average depth of target (5.2 yards). With that being said, Flowers ran 48 routes and was targeted 20.8% of the time in those routes. He also has a top-30-rated matchup against the opposing defensive backs according to PFF. Fantasy managers can look toward Flowers to be a solid WR2 in this Week 2 slate.

From RotoBaller

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 the position and just over 18 fantasy points to Tua Tagovailoa in Week 1 this season. That being said, Watson's recent struggles don't evoke much confidence in him in fantasy, even in a favorable matchup. Treat him as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will take on the Atlanta Falcons on Monday Night Football in Week 2. The veteran had a decent showing last week, catching all four of his targets for a modest 31 yards receiving. Compared to all of the other typically drafted tight ends for fantasy, that was a solid output last week. Goedert could be in for a larger workload on Monday due to star receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) popping up on the injury report this Friday as a limited practice participant. If Brown sits or is at less than 100% on Monday, Goedert has the chance to be No. 2 in the target pecking order for quarterback Jalen Hurts. The 29-year-old is a solid starting option for fantasy managers in Week 2.
