Week 2 of the 2025 NFL preseason highlights fresh fantasy angles: Cam Ward noticias in Tennessee as he builds rapport with Calvin Ridley, with raft-ready rookies like Jalen Royals and Rashee Rice testing speed and playmaking in Reid’s system. Tory Horton and Jaxon Smith-Njigba push Seattle’s WR room, while Tetairoa McMillan nudges Cam Newton’s Panthers roster moves with big-play potential. The Cowboys’ Jaydon Blue returns to action, Cowboys’ backfield competition heats up, and Shedeur Sanders earns more reps for Cleveland as the QB depth chart shakes out.

Further chess moves come from Mounting QB battles to watch: Hendon Hooker lighting up Lions camp chatter, Trevor Lawrence anchoring Jacksonville’s offense, and Aaron Rodgers nudging Pittsburgh’s offense into sharper focus in preseason. This slate is ripe for late-draft steals and depth-spark players who could push into fantasy rosters by Week 1 if opportunities open up late in August.
