Jake Ciely previews Week 2 of the fantasy football season with breakdowns, sleepers, rankings and more.
New Format! Let me know what you all think. Instead of pure sleepers — and to add a bunch of context for why I might rank players a certain way — I’m sharing weekly matchup breakdowns… of sorts. I’m giving you some tidbits I find interesting, which could help you make tough start/sit decisions.Kenneth Gainwell dominated touches , but has a rib issue on a short week.Despite a big Week 1, Jordan Addison only played 55.6% of the snaps and ran 66.
Tyler Allgeier out-touched Bijan Robinson 18-16 but likely comes in lower when the Falcons are playing from behind. Allgeier has standalone value.Jimmy Garoppolo keeps things short-to-intermediate, and Jakobi Meyers was fourth in the league in TmTGT% with a 41.7 TGT% .Damien Harris had just three touches — one rush, which was a goal-to-go attempt.Gus Edwards got the first carries, while Justice Hill had more passing snaps and two goal-line rushes to zero for Edwards.
Justin Herbert had a 6.4 AirYD/ATT mark last year and 7.2 in Week 1 against the Dolphins. The Titans allowed a league-high 11.5 AirYD/ATT to Derek Carr in Week 1 and 27.3 DeepThrow%.Joshua Kelley is a must-start if Austin Ekeler is out and a deep flex option after mixing in for 16-91-1 on the ground in Week 1. Tyjae Spears outsnapped Derrick Henry but had just four touches.Justin Fields attempted 37 passes with a woeful 3.1 AirYD/ATT. He averaged 21.2 passes and 9.1 AirYD/ATT last year.
Kyren Williams had 15 touches to Cam Akers’ 22 but 52 yards to 29, plus 35 passing down snaps to just four for Akers. Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell for the Giants, and Marquise Brown and Michael Wilson for Arizona, are the top-two receivers for their respective teams. The Cowboys had just 25 drop-backs against the Giants, but Brandin Cooks and Michael Gallup both ran 19 routes .Brian Robinson had 20 touches to Antonio Gibson’s four with Gibson having 87.5% of his snaps on pass plays . Robinson had 18 pass plays as well.Jahan Dotson led the Commanders in routes at 37 — Terry McLaurin, coming off injury, had 33.Dolphins at Patriots
