Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.
Welcome to Week 2 RotoBallers! We finally made it to Week 1, and it did not disappoint as we were treated to an action-packed weekend filled with big fantasy football performances, disappointments and of course injuries. As always we're here to help you sift through it.
Each week our NFL team puts out a complete array of fantasy football waiver wire articles, and here is a quick rundown if you're not familiar. Our fantasy football waiver wire articles get published on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. First up is our overall waiver wire article, by lead analyst Pierre Camus, and the famous waiver wire express lightning round compliments of Nick Mariano. These give a nice overview of the waiver wire pickup options each week.
If you're in a league with FAAB waivers (blind bids), our top-notch FAAB waiver wire article by Nick Mariano is a must-read. He lists the players to target off the waiver wire, and how much of your remaining FAAB budget to spend. In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, defenses, kickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.
