Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks

Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 2:

Cam Ward, QB, Tennessee Titans

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward struggled in his first NFL game, completing 12 of 28 pass attempts for just 112 yards and zero touchdowns against the Denver Broncos. Ward will face another excellent pass defense in Week 2 in the Los Angeles Rams, who held the Houston Texans offense to nine points and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud to 188 passing yards in Week 1.

Ward, who was sacked six times in Week 1, may have a tough time avoiding negative plays once again in Week 2. The Rams have a dominant front four led by star edge rusher Jared Verse, and the Titans will be without starting right tackle JC Latham (hip) due to a hip injury.

The 2025 #1 overall pick in the NFL draft has some long-term fantasy appeal in dynasty leagues, but he should not be started in Week 2 versus the Los Angeles Rams, even in Superflex leagues.

Colston Loveland, TE, Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland made his NFL debut in Week 1 but had a quiet outing, catching both of his targets for just 12 yards in the 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. As expected, Loveland operated behind starter Cole Kmet, playing 57% of the snaps compared to Kmet's 90%.

In one-tight end sets, Kmet dominated the role with 77% of the snaps, while Loveland accounted for just 23%. The matchup is brutal in Week 2, as Loveland faces a Detroit Lions defense that allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2024.

Until Colston Loveland clearly overtakes veteran Cole Kmet in the Bears' tight end rotation, the highly-touted rookie remains a stash-only option for fantasy managers.

Cam Skattebo, RB, New York Giants

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.

Cam Skattebo's primary role on the New York Giants appears to be as a depth and short-yardage option behind Tyrone Tracy Jr., which severely caps his fantasy upside.

Jaxson Dart, QB, New York Giants

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, as he is not expected to play. Although the rookie first-round draft pick has impressed in the preseason and is the team's QB2, head coach Brian Daboll has publicly stated that Russell Wilson will remain the starter for Sunday's game.

There is some speculation that Dart could see action if Wilson struggles, but given that he has no regular-season statistics for 2025, his fantasy outlook is entirely dependent on an in-game change.

Therefore, it's safe to say that Jaxson Dart should be left on the bench or waiver wire in redraft leagues for this matchup, even though he has tremendous dynasty league appeal.

Kyle Monangai, RB, Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai will look to carve out a role in Week 2 after head coach Ben Johnson voiced confidence in him. Monangai saw minimal involvement in the Week 1 loss to Minnesota, catching one pass for 11 yards while logging just 14% of the snaps.

Starting running back D'Andre Swift dominated the backfield with an 81% snap share, and with Roschon Johnson returning from injury this week, Monangai's opportunities could shrink even further.

The Chicago Bears are facing a Detroit Lions defense in Week 2 that allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to running backs during the 2024 season, meaning Kyle Monangai remains well off the fantasy radar for another week.
