It was another fun, and shocking, set of games in Week 2. Unfortunately, fantasy football managers in leagues from coast to coast are scrambling for replacements for some of the biggest names in the game.
In just two weeks, No. 1 overall pick Christian McCaffrey hasn’t played a down, teammate Deebo Samuel will now join him on the shelf, and that’s just one team. Justin Jefferson was nicked up, the Los Angeles Rams have lost Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua to multiweek injuries, David Njoku has gone down, Keenan Allen and A.J. Brown missed a game already, and that’s just the beginning. It might only be Week 2, but we’re in midseason form as far as working the waiver wire.
In addition, it seems up is down, down is up as we’ve had some key players at positions not living up to expectations and, frankly, not even coming close.
As we look back at Week 2, we’ll check out some utilization situations, and how they’re changing the fantasy landscape going into Week 3.
