Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, anchoring the top tier, while Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs and Saquon Barkley headline the early-season map. Pollard’s workload keeps him in low-end RB2 territory, with Seattle’s backfield trending toward a split between Charbonnet and Walker. Week 2 values hinge on volume, matchup, and pass-game involvement across backfields.

TreVeyon Henderson could see more work in New England, D’Andre Swift needs a TD to reach value, and James Cook returns for Buffalo as backfields normalize. The outlooks emphasize volume, pass-game usage, and injury updates to sharpen start-sit decisions and DFS lines.
