There’s still one more game left to be played in Week 1 between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks, but it’s never too early to start researching possible fantasy football waiver wire options for Week 2.
As is normally the case in just about every week, there were some very good and very unexpected performances by lesser-known players around the NFL.
We also saw some significant injuries that have opened the door for players further down the depth chart. Ambulance chasing is a necessary evil if you’re going to survive and thrive in fantasy football.
In our first waiver wire article of the 2022 campaign, we’re covering the best pickups at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, and we’ll even make a D/ST streaming suggestion.
On top of listing the players, all of whom are available in 50 percent or more of ESPN leagues, we’ll also assign a priority level for each so you know just how aggressive you need to be in order to nab them.
Without further ado, the best fantasy football waiver wire pickups going into Week 2 (note: we’ll update this list if necessary following the Broncos-Seahawks Monday night game).
