Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua should rank as a mid-to-high WR2 in fantasy football this week against the Tennessee Titans. While Nacua has WR1 upside every week, he might not reach his full potential this week given his matchup with Tennessee. First of all, Los Angeles is heavily favored to win, which means that the Rams could choose to run the ball and drain the clock, resulting in fewer pass attempts. Furthermore, while Tennessee has plenty of weaknesses, its pass defense is not one of them. The Titans' secondary intercepted
Bo Nix twice last week and held
Courtland Sutton to a modest six catches. There's no doubt that Nacua will deliver enough volume and production to be a fantasy starter in all leagues, but his ceiling is a little lower this week given the matchup.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Tutu Atwell could see his snap count continue to decline in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. During last week's season opener, Atwell, who was originally believed to be the team's No. 3 receiver, finished fourth among the position group in snap share (42 percent). He caught just one pass for four yards when all was said and done. To make matters worse, a portion of Atwell's snaps came when
Puka Nacua was being evaluated for a concussion. With Nacua healthy, it's possible that Atwell plays even fewer snaps in Week 2. Plus, his productivity could suffer against a surprisingly solid Titans secondary that intercepted
Bo Nix twice last week. Atwell is an intriguing waiver wire option if Nacua or
Davante Adams suffer an injury, but for now, he should be left off your roster.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver
Chris Godwin (ankle) will not play in Week 2 against the Houston Texans. Godwin is working his way back from a dislocated ankle that he suffered in Week 7 of 2024 and has since required multiple surgeries. The 29-year-old was able to return to the practice field this week, but was always considered a long shot to play in Week 2. In any fantasy leagues where Godwin is available, he should be stashed in an IR spot ahead of his pending return.

The New Orleans Saints are acquiring wide receiver
Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) and a 2028 seventh-round pick from the New England Patriots for a 2027 sixth-round pick, per Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Polk is currently on season-ending Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue, so this is a future-focused move for New Orleans. A second-round pick in 2024, Polk recorded just 12 catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games for New England as a rookie. He'll now get a chance at a fresh start with the Saints.

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams ranked in the bottom third in points allowed per game last season (24.9) and struggled to get after the quarterback, finishing with the second-fewest sacks in the NFL (31). Both issues were apparent in Week 1, as the Falcons yielded 23 points to the Buccaneers and sacked the opposing quarterback just once. The defense allowed
Baker Mayfield to toss three touchdown passes but did not record an interception, nor did the defense force any fumbles. The Falcons take on the Vikings on Sunday night, who have
J.J. McCarthy making just his second career start at quarterback, and who threw an interception in Week 1 while taking three sacks, but the Atlanta defense is not the Chicago defense. With Minnesota projected to score 24 points in this one as the favorites, there are many more favorable units to use in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Jordan Whittington could remain involved in the team's offensive attack this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Whittington's involvement in the season opener last Sunday was a pleasant surprise as he played 50 percent of the snaps and was on the field more than teammate
Tutu Atwell. Whittington rushed the ball once in last week's win but did not command a target. His snap share was also slightly elevated due to
Puka Nacua missing a portion of the game for a concussion evaluation. While Whittington seems to have shown the coaching staff that he deserves to get on the field, he still doesn't have the production necessary to achieve fantasy relevance. He can be left on waivers in all redraft leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Cam Little has a chance for another good fantasy outing against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2. Little finished with 14 fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, and this week has the potential to be another high-scoring game for the Jaguars. Whether that leads to field goal attempts is the question, but Little at least proved last week he is capable of high-scoring outings. That makes him a solid full-season kicker to have at the moment. Start Little with confidence in Week 2 in what should be a shootout.

The Cleveland Browns have officially activated rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins, per a team announcement. Judkins is expected to make his NFL debut in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens after an offseason arrest kept him out of training camp and delayed his signing with the team. The 21-year-old is likely to split touches with fellow rookie back
Dylan Sampson and veteran
Jerome Ford early on. Judkins should not be started in fantasy this week, but he's definitely a player to stash for later on this season.

Detroit Lions safety Kerby Joseph (knee) was a surprise addition to the team's injury report on Friday and is officially questionable to play in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears. Joseph dealt with a knee issue during training camp but was able to play in Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers and logged full practices on Wednesday and Thursday of this past week. The 24-year-old was a first-team All-Pro in 2024, recording a league-best nine interceptions. His absence would be a huge blow to the Lions' secondary and would make life significantly easier for quarterback
Caleb Williams and the rest of the Bears' passing game.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier earned double-digit touches in Week 1, although against a stout Tampa run defense, he was unable to convert them into much production, logging just 24 yards on 10 totes. The 25-year-old back was a non-factor in the passing game, not even drawing a single target compared to
Bijan Robinson's seven targets. Allgeier tallied 10 or more carries just five times in 17 games last year, so this likely won't be a regular occurrence, however, the product out of BYU did have a solid game against Minnesota last year, which is who he'll face on Sunday night. The 5-foot-10 back ran nine times for 63 yards and a score in this matchup last year, so he's got a chance to produce again, but the Vikings allowed just 53 yards to running backs last week (QB
Caleb Williams ran for 58) and allowed the second-fewest rush yards per game in '24, leaving Allgeier as nothing more than an RB4 or low-end Flex play in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum should remain an afterthought in the team's offensive attack against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. While Corum is a solid handcuff, he lacks fantasy appeal as long as
Kyren Williams. Just last week, he played only 17 percent of the offensive snaps, finishing with one rushing attempt and one reception. While it's encouraging that he was the only Rams running back not named Williams to register a snap, his incredibly low usage indicates that he's not a priority option in this offense. Even in a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans this week, Corum has a very low floor and can be left on the bench or the waiver wire.

The Jacksonville Jaguars take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, which is bad news for both defenses. The Jaguars D/ST had a good Week 1, finishing with 11 fantasy points against
Bryce Young and the Carolina Panthers, but this week's matchup with
Joe Burrow and the Bengals should be much more difficult on paper. The Bengals do tend to struggle early in the season for whatever reason, but that isn't a risk worth taking, especially after
Ja'Marr Chase had a surprisingly quiet Week 1. Drop or leave the Jaguars D/ST on waivers if streaming a defense in Week 2.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams remains a strong fantasy option for Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. Williams' nose for the end zone was on display once again last week as he scored a touchdown against the Houston Texans, and he has a strong chance to score this Sunday in a very favorable matchup against the Titans. Just last week, we saw this Tennessee defense surrender 151 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to a Broncos team that admitted it didn't even run the ball as much as it should have. If Denver could have pushed closer to 200 yards on the ground, then there's a very real chance that someone like Williams can go for 100 yards and a touchdown, especially with game script and time of possession favoring the Rams. Williams is a high-end RB2 with mid-range RB1 upside.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially downgraded wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (collarbone) from doubtful to out for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. It's not surprising that Worthy will not be able to play in Week 2, considering he suffered a dislocated shoulder in Week 1. Without Worthy on the field, Kansas City will rely more heavily on wide receivers
Marquise Brown,
JuJu Smith-Schuster, and
Tyquan Thornton. Brown profiles as a solid fantasy WR3/flex option on Sunday against Philadelphia.

Cincinnati Bengals running back
Chase Brown had only 43 yards off 21 carries in the Week 1 win over Cleveland. His 2.0 yards per carry was a tough pill to swallow for fantasy managers. Still, he at least found the end zone, so the afternoon wasn't a total flop. The same can't be said for the rest of the Bengals offense, with
Joe Burrow throwing for 113 yards and one touchdown. To make matters worse,
Ja'Marr Chase and
Tee Higgins combined for five receptions. Despite the subpar offensive showing, Cincinnati managed to pull off a narrow one-point victory. With a win in the books, Brown and company will host the Jaguars in Week 2. Without question, the Bengals have struggled to begin the season in the last few years. However, Brown and company have a great chance of turning things around. Although he sometimes struggles picking up yards on the ground, his versatility as a pass-catching back makes a difference. Sunday's game is expected to be one of the highest-scoring contests on the schedule, so both offenses may be clicking on all cylinders. All things considered, Brown should be more productive in Week 2, especially if Burrow can get the offense into the Red Zone more than he did against Cleveland. Keep Brown rolling in all fantasy lineups.
