Week 2 WR starts lean into ceiling plays such as Pickens against a vulnerable Giants secondary, Tillman exploiting Ravens’ man-heavy looks, and Higgins aiming to rebound after Week 1. Kupp presents a high-variance path given Seattle’s offense and injury risks. Ridley is a potential fade with Cam Ward’s uneven start in Tennessee. Lawrence and Stroud anchor a QB landscape that amplifies receiver ceilings, while Darnold’s Seahawks expose a path for opportunistic WRs. Two bold sit-start arcs emerge for Week 2 in this breakdown.

Quinshon Judkins is set for a Week 2 NFL debut with the Cleveland Browns, joining a backfield rotation that already includes Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford after his activation Saturday. Cleveland struggled to run in Week 1 (49 rushing yards on 24 carries), leaning on the passing game led by Joe Flacco. Judkins’ arrival, fueled by his late signing and two-game practice exemption, hints at a more balanced attack in Baltimore.

Judkins’ college resume—Ohio State national title contributor in 2024 and 2,725 yards with 31 TD at Ole Miss—signals big-play potential and goal-line upside if he earns touches. Expect a cautious early role that could grow if the run game shows improvement, especially against the Ravens’ front in Week 2.
