Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson carried the load for the Falcons in Week 1, racking up 173 yards of total offense, which included 83 yards on the ground and 90 yards through the air, adding a receiving touchdown for the team's only score. The former first-rounder should be heavily involved again in Week 2 […]

Week 1 finally gave us something more useful than depth charts and August speculation. We have carries, targets, snap counts, injuries, and at least a first idea of how teams want to divide their backfields. Of course, one game can also create some bad conclusions. That is what makes the late-week decisions interesting. Most fantasy […]

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Mike Washington Jr. saw seven carries for 41 yards and was not involved in the passing game in a 27-13 Week 1 win over the Miami Dolphins. He played well behind starter Ashton Jeanty, who saw 50 offensive snaps, compared to just 13 snaps for Washington. Entering a Week […]

After missing Week 1 with an MCL sprain, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) was removed from the injury report and will make his 2026 debut in Week 2 on the road against the Ravens. Kamara is listed as a co-starter in New Orleans' backfield with fellow running back Travis Etienne Jr., but […]

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright earned the team's backup spot in the backfield, but in Week 1, he was a non-factor. While even starting RB De'Von Achane didn't get much going against the Raiders, Wright only played four snaps (7%) and lost a yard on his only carry. Wright has shown enough upside to […]

Welcome to Week 2 of our fantasy football waiver wire watchlist for the 2026 NFL season. Each week, we will do our best to point you in the direction of the five best running backs or wide receivers to claim for your squad in order to help your season-long depth and potentially your starting roster. […]

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was not buried behind Breece Hall in Week 1. He carried the ball 10 times for 40 yards and had a touchdown wiped out by a holding penalty, so the Jets clearly plan to use him. Hall still handled 22 carries and two targets, which tells us just […]

New York Jets running back Breece Hall came out of Week 1 with exactly the kind of workload fantasy managers wanted. The Jets gave him 22 carries; he turned them into 102 yards and a touchdown, and he caught both of his targets for another 16 yards. Braelon Allen was involved, but not enough to […]

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane had a very disappointing Week 1 performance with just 36 rushing yards on 11 carries against the Raiders. He still grabbed four catches on five targets for 30 yards, which saved his fantasy day a little bit, but he still didn't get into the end zone. The Dolphins' offense […]

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 […]
