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
• NO Ben Watson (39% owned) vs CLE
• HOU Ryan Griffin (1% owned) @TEN
