Here are 10 NOT-so-bold takes that could tilt Fantasy Football Matchups in Week 2!
1. Brian Flores and the Vikings blitz less than 30% of the time against Chicago. Down from 71% in Week 1.
2. Trevor Lawrence returns to the mean after his greatest performance in 78 career games played. His 150.6 Passer Rating against Cleveland was 14pts higher than the performance against the Jets last December.
3. Colston Loveland has a mild performance against Minnesota, keeping the buy window open.
4. Joe Burrow throws multiple interceptions in a loss to Houston. Finishes as QB20 in Fantasy.
5. Aaron Jones finishes as RB1.
6. Antonio Williams breaks out in a big way on the @NFLonFOX Game of the Week! He didn't run his first route until the 5:19 mark of Q2 of Week 1
Look for Williams to see a significant bump up in Week 2 against the Cowboys, allowing Diggs/McLaurin to play more outside. He just gets open.. and he'll continue to learn from 2 of the best in the NFL (Diggs/McLaurin)
*McLaurin played 29% slot... up 16% from 2025, his most since 2021 (27%)
*Diggs played 61% slot... up 8% from 2025, his most since 2016 (63%)
I expect Williams' routes to jump from 11 to 20-25.
7. Dallas Goedert leads the Eagles in receiving... Again!
8. Parker Washington, Jalen Coker, and Christian Watson each see the first read 30% of the time (@FantasyPtsData)
9. Christian McCaffrey sees a sub-60% snap percentage in a second consecutive game for the first time since 2021. (November 7th-14th)
10. Drake London finishes as WR1.
It's time.. RJ Harvey is doubtful today for the Broncos against Jacksonville.
Be prepared to fire up Jonah Coleman at RB3/Flex in your Fantasy Football lineups in Week 3.
#Rutgers WR KJ Duff has a chance to be the first Power-4 receiver to finish with 1,700+ yards on a team that finishes under .500 ... EVER
Brandin Cooks had 1,670 regular-season yards in 2013 at Oregon State (6-6)...
Duff was on pace for (102-1998-30), entering today

He finished as the overall WR1 in 3 of 13 games, with multiple top-12 finishes.
6 of 13 games, he had 100+ yards
6 of 13 games, he had 1+ TD
12 of 13 games, he had 9+ targets
