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
- SF Dante Pettis (1% owned) vs DET
- HOU Bruce Ellington (2% owned) @TEN
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
- TEN Jonnu Smith (1% owned) vs HOU
- SEA Will Dissly (2% owned) @CHI
- CAR Ian Thomas (1% owned) @ATL
- BAL Nick “Susan” Boyle (0% owned) @CIN

Jason – Alex Smith vs. IND (62% owned)
Mike – Case Keenum vs. OAK (25% owned)
Comments
Hey guys, love listening to your show. Just got a quick question regarding Golladay. Im in a half point ppr and he’s available but I don’t know who to drop to get him (or if I even should?). For WRs I have Thielen, Cooper, Stills, Cobb and Jeffery. RBs I have Barkley, McCaffery, Freeman, Ingram and Cohen. Cohen is the one that sticks out but I also have 2 TEs (Reed, Cook). Would love to know your suggestions! Keep up the good work!
I feel like I’m loaded at RB
DJ/Conner/Mixon/Ajayi/R Freeman/K Johnson
So would you trade Mixon for Bell full PPR
Hey Guys,
I was a Delanie walker Owner and the only serviceable tight end choices I had were Jonnu Smith or and injured therefore questionable Vance Mcdonald. I picked up Jonnu Smith. Another owner dropped Tyler Eiffert. Should I pick up Eiffert and start him? Or should I stick with Jonnu?
Hi Ballers,
I am in half point PPR league. I have Evan Engram and just picked up George Kittle. I can Pickup Tylor Locket for a stash. Who would you drop? Also, I have Amari Cooper.
Thanks guys love the show!
Mike
@Casey Downs – Cobb and Stills are the only WRs I would consider dropping Jeffery for at this point. I have Jeffery too and Cobb and Stills are taken so it’s a no go for me.
Is Alshon Jeffery worth a hold? I’m in a 10 person 1/2 ppr that plays 3-5 WR/TE, and I have Antonio Brown, Alshon, Jimmy Graham, Marvin Jones, & Theilen. There’s a decent amount of talent on the waiver wire, but I picked up Alshon late for a stash.
Full 12 team PPR league I have J. Crowder and P. Garcon and Matt Brieda eligible to drop. Are there any waiver candidates that you would drop these players for???
Would be awesome to have some drop suggestions too!
Any chance you guys could start assigning a priority value or FAAB % to your waiver wire pickups to give us a feel for how high/confident on a particular pickup you are?
Thanks. Best show in the universe
As for RBs I have Super Kamario, Royce, Barber, Breida, Cohen, and Gilislee. I am also rostering both Mahomes and Tyrod as QBs and sort of want to hang on to them both.
What WRs would you drop Tarik Cohen for? I have Amari Cooper and Robby Anderson as my starting WRs (wheel of fortune sad horns) so I really need some help there. I also have Marquise Goodwin so things aren’t going great on the wideout front.
I am also dropping Gillislee off my bench for a WR but I could use 2 new hotnesses this week.
Thanks guys, love the show!
Do I dump Duke Johnson, Tarik Cohen for a WR on waiver
Should I stream Keenum over Goff?
