New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is not a recommended fantasy start for Week 2, despite facing a favorable matchup. Skattebo was the RB58 in Week 1, with a minimal role, receiving only two carries for -3 yards and two receptions for 12 yards, totaling just 1.9 fantasy points on an 11.8% timeshare. While the Dallas Cowboys' defense was the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense against running backs in 2024 and gave up 158 rushing yards in Week 1, Skattebo is simply not seeing the volume to capitalize on the opportunity. His primary role appears to be as a depth and short-yardage option behind Tyrone Tracy Jr., which severely caps his fantasy upside.

Despite heading to the medical tent twice, New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave led the team with 13 targets, turning them into seven receptions for 54 yards in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Kellen Moore's offense appeared aggressive, as quarterback Spencer Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes in Week 1. This bodes well for the fourth-year receiver, who looks poised to become a go-to target in the pass-heavy attack. Olave should have plenty of opportunities to build chemistry with Rattler and, as long as he remains healthy, projects as a borderline WR2/WR3 this week against the San Francisco 49ers.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was the team's third-most productive pass catcher in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards on nine targets. His longest catch was just 17 yards, but his speed and explosiveness give him real big-play potential. With Kellen Moore's offense passing aggressively, Shaheed could turn his volume into a breakout performance and projects as a WR4 with upside this week against the 49ers.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a lackluster Week 1, but his fantasy outlook improves considerably heading into a favorable Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. As the RB39 in Week 1, Tracy managed only 4.5 fantasy points with 24 rushing yards and 11 receiving yards, but he dominated the backfield with a 66.2% timeshare. This heavy workload, combined with the Cowboys' defensive struggles against the run, makes him an intriguing play. Dallas allowed a whopping 158 rushing yards in Week 1, the fifth-most in the NFL, and was the 23rd-ranked fantasy defense against running backs last season, giving up 22.67 fantasy points per game. Given the potential for a high-volume day, Tracy has a chance to deliver RB2 numbers.

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe went 2-for-3 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points in the Week 1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. His only miss came in the third quarter on a 37-yard attempt following a 14-play drive, while he converted from 36 and 28 yards. Grupe is a reliable kicker, but the Saints' offense, led by quarterback Spencer Rattler, may struggle to move the ball consistently. He ranks 21st among kickers on RotoBaller this week.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler went 27-of-46 for 214 yards with no touchdowns in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, adding 29 rushing yards on four attempts. Despite the volume, his 4.7 yards per pass attempt was inefficient, and the 46 throws marked a career high. He faces a tough matchup at home against the San Francisco 49ers, who allowed just 150 passing yards to Sam Darnold and the Seahawks in Week 1. Rattler remains off fantasy radars for Week 2 and will need a more efficient showing to keep his starting role.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson had a tough Week 1, but he has an encouraging fantasy outlook heading into his Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Wilson was the QB23 in fantasy after mustering only 12.8 fantasy points against the Commanders, throwing for 168 yards and zero touchdowns. However, the Cowboys' defense allowed 24.4 fantasy points to Jalen Hurts in Week 1 and was the 32nd-ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks last year, giving up 19.6 fantasy points per game. Wilson's 44 rushing yards in the opener, combined with the Cowboys allowing 62 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns to Hurts, suggest he has a solid floor and a potential for a major bounce-back performance in this favorable matchup.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara rushed 11 times for 45 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Surprisingly, he saw limited action in the passing game despite Spencer Rattler's career-high 46 pass attempts, catching just two targets for 12 yards. Despite this, Kamara showed he still has plenty left in the tank. He looks poised to be effective again against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 and should see an increased workload as a pass-catcher. He remains a high-upside RB2 this week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller saw limited action in Week 1 but made the most of it, rushing five times for 24 yards. The Saints ran the ball just 22 times while Spencer Rattler threw 46 passes, and Miller was on the field for only 11 offensive snaps. Rookie Devin Neal, who played seven snaps and carried the ball twice, could further limit Miller's role. While he showed flashes of explosiveness against the Cardinals, the Saints' likely pass-heavy approach means Miller can remain on waivers until his usage increases.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. may see an uptick in usage when the team faces the Saints on Sunday. With quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) out, wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shoulder) questionable, and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) on injured reserve, San Francisco is short on playmakers. In Week 2, San Francisco may prefer to grind things out on the ground now that Mac Jones is under center. If that's the case, Robinson should mix in regularly in order to avoid overworking Christian McCaffrey (31 touches in Week 1). Robinson projects as an RB4 in Week 2. While he is not a must-start, he is a viable flex in deeper leagues and should be rostered in most leagues.

The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart. He was far outpaced by Travis Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville's first game, and was splitting touches with Bhayshul Tuten as well. Bigsby only managed 12 yards on five carries against the Panthers in Week 1, which clearly didn't impress the Jaguars front office enough to keep him on the roster. Eagles backup RB Will Shipley (rib) is officially out for the upcoming contest against Kansas City, clearing the runway a bit for Bigsby, but probably not enough for any real fantasy production. Shipley and AJ Dillon combined for 13 snaps on offense against Dallas last week, while Saquon Barkley totaled 50. With a star like Barkley ahead of him, Bigsby should not be considered for lineups in Week 2.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had fantasy managers second-guessing whether they should have taken him so high in their drafts with his performance against the Cowboys, hauling in just one catch for eight yards on one target. However, with the Chiefs on the horizon in Week 2, Brown looks to cement his spot once again as the top wideout in Philly's offense. Kansas City allowed four players to achieve 50 or more receiving yards last week against the Chargers, and Brown caught a touchdown last time he faced off against this defense in Super Bowl LIX. He's due for a bounceback showing, and despite his lack of looks in Week 1, Brown is still a WR1 in fantasy.

From RotoBaller

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith fell victim to a strange week for the Philadelphia passing game against the Cowboys, being targeted just three times for three catches and 16 yards. Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert led the team in targets in Week 1, and Jahan Dotson had the most receiving yards in what was a bit of an anomaly. Philly will likely get back to their normal ways eventually, which favors Smith in this upcoming contest against the Chiefs as the Eagles' typical second option in the passing game. In their Super Bowl LIX clash, Smith led his team in receiving yards (69) and caught a touchdown against Kansas City. He's a player that's known to be up-and-down in fantasy, so managers have to bank on this being an up week for Smith in a favorable matchup-especially with Goedert (knee) being unavailable. The Chiefs let the Chargers pass all over them last Friday, so Smith is a solid WR2 for Week 2 in hopes that his offense can do something similar.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper failed to get any targets in the opening game of the season against the Cowboys. While Cooper did have a solid preseason showing against the Bengals, he was bound to struggle for looks in the regular season with the amount of talent surrounding him. He is currently listed as the fifth wideout on the Philly depth chart and was on the field for only two offensive snaps in Week 1. In an upcoming faceoff against the Chiefs, this undrafted rookie will likely have a similar workload. Cooper isn't worth looking at in fantasy for Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Kylen Granson could see an uptick in targets in Week 2 with Dallas Goedert (knee) officially being ruled out. In Philly's season opener against the Cowboys, Granson was the only other tight end besides Goedert to tally any targets, though it was just one which resulted in a one-yard catch. The Eagles' other option as a replacement is former sixth-round draft pick Grant Calcaterra, who did see more snaps (37) last week than Granson (17). With uncertainty at the position, neither of Philadelphia's backups seem like reliable fantasy options this week against Kansas City. Only consider them for deeper leagues.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. performed well in Week 1, completing 27 of 42 passes for 298 yards and a touchdown without throwing an interception, while also adding six rushes for 21 yards and a score. In Week 2, he'll have a road matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, who were tough against the run last season, allowing the second-fewest rush yards per game (93.2), and who only allowed 61 rush yards to non-quarterbacks in Week 1. It likely means the Falcons will lean on the pass again in this matchup, and the 25-year-old will have a full complement of receivers as Drake London (shoulder) and Darnell Mooney (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Friday. The Vikings defense will be without a couple of pieces on Sunday, namely Andrew Van Ginkel (concussion), who nearly led the team in sacks in 2024 with 11.5, so the former first-round draft pick shapes up as a mid-range QB2 this week whose arrow is pointing up.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott impressed in his season debut, going perfect for the game by making his sole field goal attempt of 58 yards and all three of his extra points. In Week 2 Elliott will travel to Kansas City for a matchup against the Chiefs, who allowed 27 points to the Chargers last week in a loss. The Chiefs gave up five scores on seven drives-excluding the final time Los Angeles had the ball when they ran the clock out. Facing a weak defense and having long range, Elliott should remain in fantasy lineups this week.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts looks to speed past another defense this week as he faces the Chiefs at Arrowhead. Hurts led his team on the ground last week, racking up 62 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 14 attempts. He also broke the Super Bowl record for most rushing yards by a QB against Kansas City back in February. Last week, the Chiefs let Justin Herbert do basically whatever he wanted, as he threw for 318 yards and three touchdowns in a Chargers win. All signs point to Hurts being poised for a big game on Sunday, especially in what could turn into a high-scoring, revenge-fueled matchup. He remains a top option at his position in fantasy for Week 2.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley tied for the sixth-most rushing attempts in the league last week (18), once again proving that he has one of the most reliably-heavy workloads in the NFL. He also made PPR managers happy with his four receptions on five targets-both good for second-most on the team. In Week 2 Barkley faces a Chiefs defense that held Omarion Hampton to just 48 yards on 15 attempts last Friday, but that was a rookie, and this is Saquon Barkley. After leading Philly in targets and receptions in their last meeting against Kansas City in the Super Bowl, expect Barkley to have a prominent role in the passing game again this week. He's a top-tier RB1 as per usual.

From RotoBaller

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is not listed on the team's final injury report for Week 2. McCaffrey did not practice on Wednesday with his injury description listed as both calf and resting, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. The 29-year-old carried a questionable tag into the season opener but logged 31 touches for 162 scrimmage yards in the 49ers' 17-13 win over the Seahawks. With quarterback Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) ruled out and tight end George Kittle (hamstring) on injured reserve, the offense can be expected to run through McCaffrey once again when the 49ers face the Saints on Sunday. A weekly favorite for an RB1 finish, he is a must-start for Week 2.
