Quarterbacks – Available in more than 50% of leagues
Ryan Tannehill – Titans vs. Jacksonville 1:00 P.M. EST
Yahoo – Available in 55% ESPN – Available in 65%
Tannehill and the Titans hosts the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Jacksonville proved that they were not a push over in their upset victory last week over the Colts. Jacksonville may be able to hang around long enough to make Tannehill throw often. Even without A.J. Brown, Tannehill will have weapons to utilize in Corey Davis and Jonnu Smith.
Quarterbacks – Available in more than 75% of leagues
Mitchell Trubisky – Bears vs. Giants at 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 93% of Yahoo Leagues and 89% of ESPN Leagues
Even with the Week 1 comeback win, Trubisky is on a short leash and playing to keep his starting role. He threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns against the Lions. He also had 3 carries for 26 yards. Trubisky has a favorable matchup against the Giants. The Giants are coming off of a short week and gave up 3 passing touchdowns to the Steelers on Monday. Trubisky is a good streaming option if you need it.
Running Backs – Available in More than 50% of Leagues
Joshua Kelley – Chargers vs. Kansas City at 4:25 P.M. EST
Available in 62% of Yahoo Leagues and 73% of ESPN Leagues
Kelley was very involved in the Chargers Week 1 game. That should continue this week with Justin Jackson out and the Chargers having a Running Back by Committee scenario. David Johnson ran well against the Chiefs defense in Week 1, and we think Kelley will have his opportunities in this game.
Running Backs – Available in More than 75% of Leagues
Frank Gore – Jets vs. San Francisco at 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 86% of Yahoo Leagues and 86% of ESPN Leagues
With Le’Veon Bell out, Gore should be getting the start in this one. The volume may be there for Gore early in the game until they are playing from behind. Gore still has something left in the tank, and is a streaming option if you are looking for a deeper find.
Wide Receivers – Available in More than 50% of Leagues
Corey Davis – Titans vs. Jaguars at 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 60% of Yahoo Leagues and 72% of ESPN Leagues
Davis led the Titans in receiving with 7 receptions for 101 yards in Week 1. A.J. Brown is out in this one with an injury, so Davis should be targeted often in Week 2. Minshew played well in Week 1 and may keep the Jaguars competitive in this game forcing Tannehill to throw more often.
Wide Receivers – Available in More than 75% of Leagues
Laviska Shenault Jr. – Jaguars at Titans – 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 83% of Yahoo Leagues and 87% of ESPN Leagues
Shenault Jr. got the start in Week 1 for the Jaguars and the rookie played well in his first game. He caught three passes for 37 yards and a touch down. The Jaguars also got him involved in the run game giving him two carries for 10 yards. The Jaguars – Titans game should be competitive and Minshew and Shenault Jr. will be a go to receiver for Minshew.
Tight Ends – Available in More than 50% of Leagues
Chris Herndon – Jets vs. San Francisco at 1:00 P.M. EST
Herndon caught 6 passes on 7 targets for 37 yards in Week 1. The yardage wasn’t there, but the volume certainly was for Herndon. The Jets will be throwing often in this one, and with Crowder out with an injury, Herndon will be an even bigger factor this week.
Mo Alie-Cox – Colts vs Vikings at 1:00 P.M. EST
Available in 99% of Yahoo Leagues and 99% Of ESPN Leagues
Deep streaming option available in almost every league is Mo Alie-Cox. Cox had 2 catches for 20 yards in Week 1. With Jack Doyle out with an injury Cox should be in line for more targets for the pass happy Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts.
