The Week 2 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2024 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes J.K. Dobbins, Isaiah Likely, Jordan Mason, Rashid Shaheed, Baker Mayfield & more.

Hello again, faithful RotoBallers, and welcome to another year taking a peek ahead at the waiver landscape to come. We know there's gold to be mined following Week 1 so why not start digging early? Let's start the season strong with our fantasy football waiver wire pickups lightning round heading into Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season.

As always, we're here as a rapid reaction to put names on your radar with the week's performances and injuries to Jordan Love (knee), Josh Allen (hand), Kenneth Walker III (abdomen), Puka Nacua (leg), Keenan Allen (undisclosed, heel?), Jake Ferguson (knee), David Njoku (ankle), Jordan Addison (ankle), and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
