BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you saw anything regarding the Week 1 Titans on social media, it was probably how Tyjae Spears out-snapped Derrick Henry, 34 to 30.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Downs finished second in targets (seven) for the Colts in his NFL debut, only behind Michael Pittman Jr. (nine).

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Josh Reynolds was seen as a candidate to be the Lions' No. 2 wide receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown during the six-game absence of Jameson Williams (suspension).

Rashee Rice (WR, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Thursday Night Football feels like eons ago, but you’ll recall Rashee Rice caught 3-of-5 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown while Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore looked horrendous.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: With Christian Watson out, Romeo Doubs was in a good spot here. The result was... confusing.
