Week 2 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team Def. | Flex
The first week of the fantasy football season is in the books, and with it came many surprises.
Fantasy starters such as Joe Burrow, James Cook and Drake London struggled, while players who were left on many fantasy benches—Bryce Young, Kyle Monangai, Jalen Coker—put up strong numbers. We even saw Carson Wentz, who replaced an injured Kyler Murray, post a stat line that included a solid three touchdown passes and nearly 20 fantasy points!
Since we have just one week of data (some of it is shocking, like the Rams and Texans defenses getting torched), we are, for the most part, starting the players we drafted to be our starters. That said, some players’ stock has risen and fallen as we head into Week 2 based on their performance in the opening week, their upcoming matchup, or a mix of both.
So, here are my fantasy football flex rankings as we head into the second week. Be sure to check back daily for updates. Good luck, and let's go get that 'ship together!
