Week 2 brings targeted WR matchups that fantasy managers crave. George Pickens faces Giants perimeter cornerbacks with a favorable spotlight, highlighted by a matchup against Paulson Adebo. Pickens should see plenty of chances as Dallas sits as a solid home favorite, with Adebo and fellow Giants corners showing mixed coverage metrics. Dak Prescott’s offense projects efficiency, boosting Pickens as a mid-range WR3 play and a potential value contraints window if game flow tilts.

Michael Pittman Jr. enters Week 2 under the microscope against Pat Surtain II, a tough cover option who could cap Pittman’s ceiling. The piece cautions against banking on a ceiling game for Pittman if Surtain locks him down. The analysis underscores six WRs with clear environmental factors, naming three to target and three to avoid for Week 2, and leans on in-season tools and projections to sharpen lineup decisions and bets.
