Fantasy Football: Week 2 Waiver Wire + QB Streamers
Get the full Week 2 Waiver breakdown on Episode #604 of The Fantasy Footballers Podcast – Week 2 Waivers + QB Streamers. Players may be listed below due to the Week 1 Studs & Duds performances as well as Week 1 Injuries.
Wide Receivers
- GB Randall Cobb (68% owned) vs MIN
- When you’re one of the top 3 wideouts in an Aaron Rodgers offense, you need to be owned in every league.
- MIA Kenny Stills (72% owned) @NYJ
- Stills found the end zone twice on Sunday on just five targets. That’s his calling card though- TDs on low volume.
- SEA Brandon Marshall (7% owned) @CHI
- SEA Tyler Lockett (51% owned) @CHI
- Both Seahawks make the list as Doug Baldwin is dealing with a Grade 2 partial MCL tear and could miss over 2 weeks.
- TB Chris Godwin (30% owned) vs PHI
- DeSean Jackson could miss time with a concussion.
- NYJ Quincy Enunwa (9% owned) vs MIA
- He was Sam Darnold’s main target in Week 1 rather than Robby Anderson.
- NE Phillip Dorsett (4% owned) @JAX
- NO Ted Ginn Jr. (17% owned) vs CLE
- BAL John Brown (20% owned) @CIN
- IND Ryan Grant (3% owned) @WAS
- LAC Mike Williams (60% owned) @BUF
- GB Geronimo Allison (12% owned) @WAS
- When you’re one of the top 3 wideouts in an Aaron Rodgers offense, you need to be owned in every league.
- CIN John Ross (25% owned) vs BAL
- DET Kenny Golladay (53% owned) @SF
- JAX Keelan Cole (55% owned) vs NE

Running Backs
- JAX T.J. Yeldon (15% owned) vs NE
- Starting RB, Leonard Fournette, is already dealing with a hamstring injury. Big volume upside for Yeldon IF Fournette were to miss time.
- SF Matt Breida (57% owned) vs DET
- NYJ Bilal Powell (58% owned) vs MIA
- DEN Phillip Lindsay (4% owned) vs OAK
- Was on the field for many more snaps than expected. Smaller back, but had 15 carries, and a receiving TD in Week 1.
- BAL Javorius Allen (3% owned) @CIN
- Received more work than expected. Kenneth Dixon could miss time.
- NE James White (49% owned) @JAX
- GB Aaron Jones (60% owned) vs MIN
- Returns from suspension in Week 3. Could compete with Jamaal Williams for touches. However, with Rodgers banged up, that could mean more Jammal Williams, who is a superior pass protector.
- LAC Austin Ekeler (17% owned) @BUF
- 10 touches in Week 1 – 5/39/0 rushing and 5/87/1 on 5 targets
- IND Jordan Wilkins (36% owned) @WAS
- IND Nyheim Hines (5% owned) @WAS
Tight Ends
- SF George Kittle (76% owned) vs DET
- Nine targets in Week 1, looked great. The 49ers had plays designed for him.
- OAK Jared Cook (51% owned) @DEN
- Target machine in Week 1. That’s all you can really hope for with the non-elite TEs.
- IND Eric Ebron (33% owned) @WAS
- ARI Ricky Seals-Jones (29% owned) @LAR
- JAX Austin Seferian-Jenkins (34% owned) vs NE
