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.

The New Orleans Saints defense/special teams recorded five sacks and allowed 20 points in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. While the sack total was a pleasant surprise, it shouldn't be expected consistently with a defensive front led by 34-year-old Cameron Jordan. They face
Mac Jones in Week 2 instead of
Brock Purdy (toe), but still have to contend with
Christian McCaffrey and remain without Chase Young (calf). Ranked 28th of 32 defenses this week, the Saints are best left off fantasy rosters.

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 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 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.

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.
--Dakota Legg - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
September 13, 2025
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.
--Dakota Legg - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
September 13, 2025
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.
--Dakota Legg - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
September 13, 2025
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.

September 13, 2025
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.

Over the last two races at Bristol Motor Speedway, it has been the Kyle Larson show. Over those two races, Larson has led an insane 873 laps, won both events, and also took the green and checkered flag for all four Stage wins. In a nut shell, he has been absolutely dominant at this race track. Extending further than that, Larson is currently on a seven-race streak of top-six finishes at Bristol, and has won three of the last six races at this track. This weekend, Larson will roll off the starting grid from fifth-place for Saturday night's race, and should be a factor all night long. The No. 5 Chevrolet wasn't crazy fast on the stop watch in practice, but it's not wise to go against the driver that he put up the numbers that Larson has at this race track as of late. Even though he's the most expensive driver on DraftKings this weekend (at $11,500), Kyle Larson is an excellent DFS play at Bristol on Saturday night.

Denny Hamlin won last weekend at Gateway, and it wouldn't be surprising if he did the same thing here at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend. Bristol has always been a strong track for Hamlin, and he's almost gotten even better in the Next Gen era. Over the last four races at this track, Denny hasn't finished worse than fourth, and he's went to victory lane in two of those four races. He has also led 305 laps over that span of events. This weekend, Hamlin will roll off the starting grid from sixth-place when Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race goes green. When it comes to DFS, Denny is priced at $11,000 on DraftKings, and he has a bit of Place Differential upside to go along with his dominator and race-winning potential. All around, Denny Hamlin is a very strong fantasy pick at Bristol this weekend. Don't be afraid to pick him, no matter what the format is.

After practice and qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday evening, it's hard not to point toward Ryan Blaney as one of the favorites to win this weekend's race. The Cup Series Champion qualified on the outside pole for Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race, and had the best car on the long run in practice, ranking fastest in 15-, 20-, 25-, and 30-lap average. Bristol has always been a strong track for Ryan Blaney throughout his Cup Series career, but he often doesn't get the finishes he deserves in Thunder Valley. However, this No. 12 team came home with a fifth-place finish here this spring, and Blaney ended up sixth in last year's fall race. Look for Blaney to be a strong contender here on Saturday night and a potential dominator (and race winner) for the third leg of this year's Playoffs.

September 13, 2025
After practice on Friday afternoon, Chase Briscoe noted that he was quite happy with his race car--something that isn't very common for him in the No. 19 Toyota camp. With those comments, many thought he could be a contender for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race win this weekend, but qualifying didn't quite go as planned, so Briscoe and his team will have some work to do on Saturday night. Briscoe ended up 31st-fastest in the qualifying session, meaning he will start from the 16th row in this weekend's race. At a track where it is very difficult to pass, this could end up being a long night for Chase before it's all said and done. It's a good thing he has already advanced in the Playoffs with his win at Darlington a couple of weeks ago. In DFS, Briscoe is a high-priced option (at $10,000 on DraftKings) but he has sky-high Place Differential upside, so you can't stay away from him--especially in cash game formats.

There aren't many race tracks where Ty Gibbs is considered a contender for the race win, but Bristol is one of those places. In the Next Gen era, Gibbs has the fourth-most laps led (239) among active drivers, and he posted a career-best third-place result here in the spring race earlier this season. In three of the last four Bristol races, Gibbs has finished ninth or better, with the exception being his 15th-place run last fall. As far as this weekend goes, the No. 54 Toyota will roll off the starting grid from fourth-place on Saturday night, and the car looked solid in practice. When it came to 30-lap average, Gibbs was seventh-fastest in the session, right in line with his Toyota teammates. At $8,700 on DraftKings this weekend, Ty Gibbs definitely isn't his usual cheaper-side DFS option, but he's still a viable fantasy play in this weekend's race.

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.

September 13, 2025
In a pretty surprising upset, AJ Allmendinger was the fastest car in qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday evening, and now the Kaulig Racing driver will lead the Cup Series field to the green for this weekend's Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Allmendinger posted a lap of 15.117 seconds, narrowly beating out Ryan Blaney's 15.120-second lap. This is AJ's first-ever pole at Bristol Motor Speedway and just the second time he will start from a top-five position. Earlier this spring, Allmendinger finished ninth here in Thunder Valley after qualifying eighth, and another top-10 finish could definitely be in the cards for this weekend's pole sitter. As far as DFS goes, Allmendinger is a cheap play ($6,600 on DraftKings), but he's probably going to drop back from his starting spot and may not lead much. If you do roll the dice with Dinger on Saturday night, don't go too heavy with your daily fantasy lines.

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit wasn't particularly special in Week 1 against the Cowboys, allowing 20 points to their offense and forcing a fumble. While it wasn't an especially disappointing performance, they definitely left a lot to be desired for what is supposed to be one of the top defenses in the league. On Sunday, Philadelphia is faced with the Chiefs. Obviously, Kansas City's offense can never be scoffed at as long as they have Mahomes throwing the ball, but the Philly defense does match up pretty well. When these teams met in the Super Bowl in February, the Eagles' defense was suffocating, forcing three turnovers, including a pick-six, and keeping the Chiefs scoreless until the dying moments of the third quarter. It's a tough challenge, but fantasy managers should give this unit another chance or two in the starting lineup before calling it quits on the Eagles D/ST.

September 13, 2025
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.

September 13, 2025
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.
--Jarod RuppSource: ESPN
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
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.
--Ricky Maloney - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
September 13, 2025
The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense was surprisingly vulnerable last week, surrendering 32 points and 394 yards of offense to the New York Jets. Pittsburgh may not be as strong defensively as it was expected to be this season, but it still has plenty of potential as a fantasy D/ST against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Seattle only managed 13 points in its home opener and turned the ball over twice. The Steelers' defense performed far better at home than on the road in 2024, making this matchup at Acrisure Stadium all the more appealing. It is worth noting that Pittsburgh will be without safety DeShon Elliott (knee) and cornerback Joey Porter Jr. (hamstring), but newcomer Jabril Peppers may get some run in their absence despite joining the team just a few days ago. With playmakers such as T.J. Watt and Jalen Ramsey leading the way, the Steelers D/ST can remain in fantasy lineups on Sunday.

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.
--Dan StephensSource: NFL.com
September 13, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Tyquan Thornton had two catches for 41 yards in the Week 1 loss to the Chargers. With
Xavier Worthy (shoulder), who was injured early in the opener, doubtful for the Week 2 Super Bowl rematch with the Eagles, there is room for others to benefit.
Marquise Brown, who had 10 catches (16 targets) for 99 yards against Los Angeles, has the best chance of remaining the No. 1 wideout.
Travis Kelce should also continue to get attention from
Patrick Mahomes. With that in mind, Mahomes can spread the ball around, so it's hard to predict if Thornton will stay involved enough to justify his presence in fantasy lineups. Although the 25-year-old should have a role in Week 2, fantasy managers will be rolling the dice if utilizing his services for streaming purposes against Philly.
