NFL Week 2 Waiver Wire Highlights: Notable Players to Consider for Your Fantasy Football Squad
In the world of fantasy football, the waiver wire can be a treasure trove of potential stars. This week, several players had breakout performances and debuts that have caught the eye of many managers. Here's a rundown of some of the most intriguing pickups for NFL Week 2.
Quentin Johnston, a high-upside receiver for the Los Angeles Chargers, is a must-add for managers seeking a receiver with the potential for breakout performances. In his recent game, Johnston caught 5 passes for 79 yards and 2 touchdowns, showcasing his promising talent.
In the quarterback department, Daniel Jones made a strong impression in his Colts debut, completing 22-of-29 passes for 272 yards, one passing touchdown, and adding two rushing touchdowns. Michael Penix Jr., who made his first start for Atlanta, also impressed, recording 298 passing yards, one passing touchdown, and a rushing touchdown.
On the receiving end, Keenan Allen had a solid outing with 7 catches for 68 yards and a touchdown, while Marquise Brown, now with the Houston Texans, had 5 catches for 86 yards and a touchdown in his first game for his new team.
The tight end position also offers some promising pickups. Juwan Johnson, a reliable option for the New Orleans Saints, started strong, catching 8 passes on 11 targets for 76 yards. His high route participation and little target competition at tight end make him a strong TE2 or streaming play for fantasy rosters.
In the running back department, Trey Benson outperformed James Conner with 69 rushing yards and a 52-yard run in his debut for Arizona. His role in the Arizona backfield could continue to grow in a timeshare with Conner. Rookie Quinshon Judkins is also worth keeping an eye on in the Cleveland backfield, as he could compete with Dylan Sampson for carries.
Last but not least, Aaron Rodgers had a stellar debut for the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing for four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 136.7 passer rating. His performance, coupled with the injuries to other receivers, propelled Marquise "Hollywood" Brown to the top of the Kansas City Chiefs' receiving corps, with 16 targets, 10 receptions, and 99 yards in Week 1.
Remember, the fantasy football landscape is always evolving, so keep a close eye on these players and the waiver wire for more potential stars. Happy hunting!
