Week 2 of the NFL preseason offered a clearer read on fantasy-relevant QB battles and mid-round standouts, with Richardson flashing growth for Indianapolis and Bennett delivering a clutch Rams moment. Jacksonville’s Brenton Strange and Parker Washington supplied real depth at the skills positions, while Keenan Allen and Brock Bowers provided stable anchors for loaded offenses. Damar Hamlin’s safety presence and Joe Flacco’s veteran steadiness surfaced as notable depth-chart data points as teams navigate rosters and Week 1 readiness.

Rosters continue to crystallize around a core group of veterans, with rookies and depth players forcing managers to weigh upside against floor in early-season spots. Keep an eye on how these Week 2 performances translate to practice reps and the final cuts, since those snaps often portend fantasy value and weekly upside in the opening slate.
