Unexpected Week 1 performances often lead to overreactions in regard to who many slot into Week 2 Fantasy football lineups. Tyler Shough had a 410-yard, 3 TD game, while Kyle Monangai, Christian Watson and Dalton Kincaid all had at least 124 scrimmage yards. While some may offer the Fantasy football advice of waiting for these players to display consistency, at the very least they should be on your radar as potential Week 2 Fantasy football picks.
A reliable set of Week 2 Fantasy football rankings could help decrease the anxiety with Fantasy football start-sit decisions. Were these one-week wonders, or can you expect similar production going forward?
Before setting your Week 2 Fantasy football lineups, you NEED to see the Week 2 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine's advanced computer model.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking! That could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home empty-handed.
Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its latest Week 2 Fantasy football rankings.
One player the model is high on this week: Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield. And a massive shocker: Saints tight end Juwan Johnson, who was the TE8 a year ago and posted a 3-54-1 stat line in the opener, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 15 at his position! He's a player to fade this week.
The model is also calling for a SHOCKING wide receiver you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 20 of its Week 2 Fantasy football rankings! This pick could be the difference between winning BIG and going home with nothing. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before locking in your lineups.
So who should you start and sit in Week 2, and which surprising WR could lead you to victory? ...
