Are you guys ready for this? We have a big five-game late-night slate for all of you insomniacs who just can't get enough college football (like myself). There's nothing better than a 2 am tilt-fest as these games come down to the wire as you try not to wake the whole house. We've got FBS […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Emanuel Wilson played a minimal role in his team's Week 1 win over the New England Patriots, recording two carries for three yards. With Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (knee) on Injured Reserve at the start of the year, Wilson appeared to have a chance to carve out a role in […]

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is a must-start running back with RB1 overall potential in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs. "RB1 overall potential" is a bit of a formality in this case, as without pass-catching upside and against a defense that absolutely dominated in Week 1, it may be tough sledding for […]

Hey RotoBallers! We're back with another Sunday Night Football slate for Week 2 of the NFL season! With several viable fantasy stars in this matchup, let's lock in your lineups with our Week 2 SNF start-sit chart. In addition to our start/sit recommendation and matchup ratings for each player, you can also read the fantasy […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams was the only player that had a great day for fantasy football in Week 1 against the New York Giants. He rushed 12 times for 41 yards and a touchdown and caught all five of his targets for 31 yards and another score. The touchdowns saved his day from […]

At RotoBaller HQ, we continue our rankings series and focus on FLEX. One of the most important decisions when setting a fantasy football lineup is choosing the correct FLEX (RB/WR/TE). It can be the difference between winning or losing your league matchup. Use our updated Week 2 FLEX rankings for 2026 to guide you in […]

Week 2 is here! We are coming off a fantastic Week 1 with two nice SGP wins up at +224 and +284! I wish I could say that is going to be the standard every week, but we all know that's not the case. Winning parlays is always tough, so I'll aim for some nice […]

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks split playing time almost exactly evenly with his teammate David Montgomery in Week 1, and with the Texans looking for playmakers in Week 2 against the Bengals, Marks could be even more involved. While Montgomery had 23 touches and three touchdowns, Marks averaged 4.7 yards per carry on his […]

Houston Texans running back David Montgomery had a huge debut for the Texans with three touchdowns, 60 rushing yards, and 19 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Bills. This week, he'll look to keep rolling against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Texans may have to rely even more on the run game in the […]

Hello RotoBallers! The main slate of Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season will start on Sunday, and as a result, many managers need to put the finishing touches on their lineup. Below, you will find our updated Week 2 PPR running back rankings, which account for all recent injury news to the position, including […]

Hey RotoBallers! The full Week 2 slate will kick off on Sunday, which means it's almost time to set your fantasy lineups! Below, you will find our updated Week 2 PPR rankings for all positions. Our fantasy football rankings for Week 2 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to his rankings, below you […]

The nighttime is the right time at DraftKings! DraftKings' night slates feature the marquee prime-time matchups in a standalone slate, as opposed to FanDuel adding all of the biggest games to one monster slate. I've had more success in the slightly smaller DK primetime slates for whatever reason. The LSU/Ole Miss game may provide more […]

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd enters Week 2 as the team's primary ball-carrier against the New York Jets while Josh Jacobs remains on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Lloyd handled 13 carries for 37 yards in the opener, but his limited role in the passing game remains a concern. Chris Brooks logged seven carries […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier handled 17 carries and 61 rushing yards in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. With rookie Jeremiyah Love still working back from his preseason ankle injury, Allgeier started the game and led the backfield in attempts, yards, and snaps. The division of labor measured by snap share was […]

Tennessee Titans Running Back Tyjae Spears faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 2 home matchup. The third-year back didn't see much work on the ground in Week 1, rushing three times for 12 yards, but he was targeted four times and caught two passes for another 12 yards. More importantly, Spears basically […]

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love did not appear on the injury report this week and carries no designation into Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. A high ankle sprain suffered in the preseason jeopardized Love's availability for Week 1, but the rookie was active and had 13 touches for 50 total yards and his […]

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard faces the Eagles' rush defense in a tough Week 2 matchup in Nashville. Pollard received just seven carries in Week 1, finishing with 35 yards while catching one of his two targets for minus-one yard. Pollard played only 52% of Tennessee's offensive snaps while Tyjae Spears played 50%, making […]

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry will look to repeat his RB1 Week 1 performance at home this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints in Week 2. Henry was the centerpiece of the Ravens' offense in their 41-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts, accumulating 144 rushing yards, scoring three touchdowns, and even bringing in his […]

Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai offers solid standalone value in Week 2 despite a suboptimal outing against their division-rival Minnesota Vikings at home. Monangai's 10/100/1 box score in the team's thrashing of Carolina was strong output, though it's worth noting the second-year back was sparsely used early on. Regardless, he got it done for […]

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson will make his season debut on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Henderson missed Week 1 due to an ankle injury, but his absence was short-lived, as he has been cleared to return in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. At this point, we expect Henderson to share snaps […]

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson carried the load as the team's primary ball-carrier during the season opener, but his role is likely to change for Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Stevenson is likely returning to a split-backfield role now that teammate TreVeyon Henderson is healthy again. As the lone running back atop […]

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift will look to keep it rolling in Week 2 in a divisional home matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift and Chicago's ground game went berserk in their road opener, racking up just shy of 300 yards (291) and six total rushing scores in a beatdown of the Panthers. In […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Kaelon Black (groin) made a good first impression in his NFL debut last week. Black handled 14 carries for 65 yards and caught one pass for five receiving yards in the 49ers' Week 1 win over the Rams. San Francisco was in the driver's seat for much of the game, […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had 68 rushing yards on 10 carries and converted eight targets into five catches for 20 receiving yards in last week's win over the Rams. His modest output in that game resulted from the 49ers' overall dominance and the effectiveness of backup Kaelon Black (groin), who had 14 […]

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis has tumbled down the depth chart. In addition to being the clear No. 3 back last week against the Tennessee Titans, he was factored out of the offense altogether with an astounding 0% snap share. Davis wasn't a huge part of the offense last year, but he still […]

New Orleans Saints running back Travis Etienne Jr. carried the ball nine times for 46 yards and added a career-high seven receptions for 32 yards in Week 1's overtime loss to the Lions. Without Alvin Kamara in the lineup, Etienne Jr. was on the field for 59% of the snaps but split the carries evenly […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle led the team's backfield in snaps last week but managed just 21 total yards on 10 touches. He could have a difficult time bouncing back in Week 2 against a New England Patriots defense that surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to running backs last season. The Patriots were vulnerable […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren saw encouraging utilization in last week's win and will look to turn that opportunity into a stronger fantasy performance against the New England Patriots in Week 2. Although Warren was out-snapped by teammate Rico Dowdle, the former handled five additional touches and had a clear role in the passing […]

Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks will look for an expanded role in Sunday's Week 2 matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons. Brooks' usage was down in last Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 23-year-old rushed for 14 yards on four carries and caught one of two targets for 48 yards. He was out-touched […]

Philadelphia Eagles running back Will Shipley was barely seen on the field during the Week 1 win over the Washington Commanders. Shipley rushed the ball twice for four yards while hauling in his lone target for eight yards in the victory. Shipley saw minimal work in the backfield behind workhorse back Saquon Barkley. The expectation […]
