Week 2 fantasy outlooks center on clear anchors and smart pivots for a tight lineup. Baker Mayfield remains a steady mid-range QB1 with a pass-heavy Buccaneers plan, even as key targets miss time. Omarion Hampton offers high-end RB2 upside despite a tougher early slate. Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen provide versatile Chargers receiving options, while Mike Evans steps in as a reliable veteran target for Tampa. Justin Herbert, Nick Chubb, and a mix of deeper plays from Ashton Jeanty and Emeka Egbuka round out the core decisions. Brock Bowers carries upside but also risk with injury chatter; plan accordingly.

Use the Who Should I Start? tool to compare up to four players, weigh volume versus matchup, and lock in a Week 2 lineup that balances floor with ceiling. Prioritize high-target/high-route players in favorable matchups and stash depth pieces for leverage in flex spots.

Raiders-Chargers trench duel looms Monday night as Las Vegas leans on a young O-line to step up with Jackson Powers-Johnson out and Alex Cappa stepping in. The defense counters with a Crosby-led rush and a deep DT rotation, aiming to harass Justin Herbert. Communication and tight run-sets (five on the line with a TE) could swing the game’s tempo and fantasy value.

Los Angeles counters with a versatile edge group and interior disruptors, testing the Raiders’ protection schemes. If Khalil Mack and the interior trio can sustain pressure, Herbert will have to improvise or get rid of the ball quickly, elevating the value of Chargers’ short-area options and Raiders’ containment efforts in the run game.
