Spotlight Players for Week 2

Our Weekly Winners series focuses on standout matchups and candidates poised for significant Fantasy success. With extensive analysis of player performance, opposing defenses, and game scenarios, we aim to ensure you can 'Play 2 Win'.

Drake Maye vs. Miami

Drake Maye turned heads in Week 1, completing 30 of 46 passes against the Raiders for a formidable 287 yards, plus a touchdown—ranking him #6 among QBs. Facing a Miami defense that struggled against dual-threat quarterbacks, Maye's prospects for Week 2 look promising. Expect more rushing yards as he exploits the Dolphins' defensive gaps.

Justin Fields vs. Buffalo

After a stellar Jets debut, Justin Fields racked up 29.5 Fantasy Points. With impressive averages in his last five games, expect Fields to carve through a Buffalo defense that recently showcased vulnerabilities to rushing quarterbacks. A repeat of his rushing success could make him a hot pick this week.

Justin Herbert vs. Las Vegas

Justin Herbert's performance against the Chiefs in Week 1 has Fantasy managers buzzing. With 318 passing yards and three touchdowns, he ranked among the top QBs. The upcoming battle against the Raiders could see Herbert unleashing his aerial attack even further.

Kyren Williams vs. Tennessee

Kyren Williams established himself as the Rams’ RB1, scoring 13.9 Fantasy Points in Week 1. With a Titans defense that’s shown cracks in their run game, Williams is poised for a breakout—especially if game flow favors the Rams.

Breece Hall vs. Buffalo

Concerns about workload faded as Breece Hall rushed for 107 yards against the Bills in Week 1. With a matchup against a Buffalo defense that struggled with run defense last week, Hall is set to explode and could mirror last year’s strong performances.

Javonte Williams vs. New York

Javonte Williams solidified his role as the lead back, scoring 20.4 Fantasy Points against the Eagles. With a favorable matchup against the Giants’ defensive line, expect him to continue finding the end zone.

James Conner vs. Carolina

Despite a quiet Week 1, James Conner remains a consistent Fantasy threat, scoring 14.4 points with a receiving touchdown. Carolina's defense struggled against the run, presenting an opportunity for Conner to thrive in Week 2.

AJ Brown vs. Kansas City

AJ Brown had a rough start, but history suggests a bounce-back is imminent. Given the Chiefs' defensive struggles, he’s a prime candidate to reclaim his status as a top-tier wide receiver.

Keenan Allen vs. Las Vegas

Keenan Allen showcased his chemistry with Herbert, leading the Chargers in targets and Fantasy points last week. Against a leaky Raiders defense, expect him to play a pivotal role in the aerial assault.

Jerry Jeudy vs. Baltimore

Despite a modest Week 1, Jerry Jeudy remains a vital part of his team’s offense. With favorable matchups in Week 2, he could have a resurgence reminiscent of last season's standout performances.
