Fields' rushing floor and design-adjusted offense boost his Week 2 upside, especially against Buffalo where a run-heavy approach can carry his fantasy floor toward the upper 20s. Mahomes remains a fantasy anchor, with explosiveness on the ground and through the air, even as the Chiefs lean into a pass-friendly game plan. Lamar Jackson brings a premier rushing baseline that stings in DFS, while Burrow and Lawrence set up bounce-back weeks with favorable totals and improved supporting casts. Herbert and the Chargers continue to lean pass-heavy with Keenan Allen healthy and Rashee Rice emerging, offering balanced upside in a likely shootout.

Week 2 targets include Lamb as a clear alpha for Dallas, Pacheco in a seaside-friendly matchup, and Raiders' and Bills' matchups shaping streaming options. The Raiders’ Week 1 pass volume and Buffalo’s high-scoring potential create several strong DFS paths, especially with stacked QBs and WRs. In all, Fields, Mahomes, and Lawrence headline the QB pool, while Allen, Lamb, Rashee Rice, and Pacheco offer high ceiling with solid floors in dynamic offenses.

Week 2 sells take center stage as Christian McCaffrey tops the list, flagged for high risk and high volatility as San Francisco navigates injuries. The focus is to capitalize on buy-low windows now, before values shift again. The show advocates two-for-two trades that dilute risk: swapping McCaffrey for two solid pieces who can sustain value even if the star misses time. The plan extends to other hot sells like Jonathan Taylor and Davante Adams, while storage of buy-lows like George Pickens and JSN remains prudent.

Across the board, the host emphasizes urgency: the buy-low wave won’t wait. If you miss Week 1’s dip, you may miss the chance to land impactful, upside players such as Keenan Allen and CeeDee Lamb, or to pivot toward mid-tier anchors like Chuba Hubbard. It’s a bold, calculated move to protect your roster today and chase upside tomorrow.

Chargers week-one exploits a dangerous wide-receiver trio led by Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston, with depth pieces sparking the offense and Herbert distributing efficiently. A Denzel Perryman injury forces new LB rotations, while Khalil Mack and the pass rush aim to elevate the defense. If the running game unlocks even modest gains, this offense could be a top-10 unit again in 2025.

The fantasy angle centers on Herbert spreading targets, Johnston's red-zone growth, and Allen’s steady floor, all while the defense relies on Mack and a reshuffled linebacker group. Health and run-game progress will largely determine sustained fantasy upside across the core players.

Marquis Brown, Keenan Allen and Quinton Johnston headline Week 1 waiver targets for rest-of-season value, with Cleveland options Cedric Tilman and Harold Fannon Jr. offering strong late-round appeal. Amari Cooper and David Njoku anchor the Browns’ pass game as they face a brutal upcoming schedule, while Darnell Mooney could fill a short-term gap if Drake London misses time. Fab strategy emphasizes volume and opportunity over hype in standard leagues.

The conversation leans toward volume over rookies in shallow formats, advising cautious fab spending on young players like Johnston unless your roster can handle a longer leash. In tight-end land, Fannon and Juwan Johnson present upside as backsides to KD’s return, while Tilman and Cooper provide solid floor plays for the Browns’ pass-heavy plans through Weeks ahead.
