Happy Friday, and happy Week 2!

Don’t worry, I also had plenty of George Kittle on my rosters and I am definitely not tilting about losing him for a few weeks. Not stressing about it AT ALL.

Here’s to hoping you’re 1-0 entering the week and looking to stay undefeated. If not, let’s make it a damn good week to get back to even.

Let’s win the week.

📝 Thursday Night Takeaways

I think Green Bay is the team to beat in the NFC, they are looking GOOD. I thought this after last week after appearing to completely dominate the Lions last week, but they looked just as good last night agains the Commanders. Let’s get to some takeaways.

Commanders 18 @ Packers 27

Commanders Backfield: I think it’s easy to have bought into the Bill (Jacory Croskey-Merritt) hype, but we just had our first stinker of the season from him with a 1.7 point outing. With the potential achilles injury from Austin Ekeler, who led the team in rush attempts, this backfield looks incredibly weak and it’s expected that there will be a trade or a signing to add to the current depth. I’m not excited for any player here as of right now.

Tucker Kraft: Kraft may very well be a top-3 TE moving forward and is a must start. Two weeks with a TD and led the team with receptions this week, he’s a focal point of an offense who is going to continue scoring. Zach Ertz is also carving a weekly starting role in our fantasy rosters.

Packers Defense: This is less of a note on the Packers DST in fantasy and more on the Packers as an opponent. Two weeks into the season and we may be looking at a true threat to offensive production, especially in the run game after holding Ekeler, Croskey-Merritt and Jayden Daniels each to 17 yards. Be warned if you have an RB facing the Green Bay defense.

🥇 Top-Ten WRs for Week Two

Where things currently stand, here are my top WRs for week 2!

📄 Week Two Streamers Still Available

I like to keep an eye on player ownerships as the week goes on. This newsletter sends on Fridays and your weekly waivers have been running since Wednesday so the hot pickups are definitely gone. In this section I’ll highlight potential starters (mostly QBs/TEs) that are still available in over 50% of leagues.

LV QB Geno Smith - 11% Ownership - Rank: QB18

Admittedly, I think I have Geno Smith ranked lower than I should, so expect his rank to increase in the next few days as I wrestle with this. Geno gets a weaker Chargers pass defense on a team that will most likely be trying to play catchup for a good portion of the game. I expect a high pass rate here and with that, I expect a solid performance from Geno for fantasy.

Other QB Options: Trevor Lawrence - QB17

NO TE Juwan Johnson - 42.1% Ownership - Rank: TE8

Juwan Johnson, the TE1 from last week, may still be available in your league and you need a TE to start? Please spring to the waivers right this instant if that is that case. Johnson appears to have a key role in this New Orleans offense and can be a weekly starter.

Other TE Options: Harold Fannin - TE15, Brenton Strange - TE16
