Ed Oliver's ankle injury could tilt Week 2 in Buffalo's favor, forcing the Bills to lean on a thinner interior against a Jets rushing attack. New York aims to keep the game plan simple and punishing on the ground, with Fields carving running lanes behind a solid, cohesive line.

Four Jets stars must shine: Sauce Gardner shadows Buffalo's top options, Quinnen Williams thrives at three-tech, Bree Hall runs decisively, and Garrett Wilson remains the trusted target. Justin Fields' efficient Week 1 showing adds a layer of faith that the Jets can sustain a run-first approach while keeping passing efficient. Buffalo counterpunches with a receiver-by-committee approach led by Keon Coleman and Josh Allen spreading the ball around.

As Buffalo looks to prove it can stop the run, New York's formula hinges on simplicity on both sides of the ball and a disciplined run game that tests a potentially vulnerable defensive front. The matchup holds fantasy intrigue at every key position, especially for those betting on Jets-stacked concepts or Bills breakout targets in a still-developing offensive landscape.

Fields' rushing floor and design-adjusted offense boost his Week 2 upside, especially against Buffalo where a run-heavy approach can carry his fantasy floor toward the upper 20s. Mahomes remains a fantasy anchor, with explosiveness on the ground and through the air, even as the Chiefs lean into a pass-friendly game plan. Lamar Jackson brings a premier rushing baseline that stings in DFS, while Burrow and Lawrence set up bounce-back weeks with favorable totals and improved supporting casts. Herbert and the Chargers continue to lean pass-heavy with Keenan Allen healthy and Rashee Rice emerging, offering balanced upside in a likely shootout.

Week 2 targets include Lamb as a clear alpha for Dallas, Pacheco in a seaside-friendly matchup, and Raiders' and Bills' matchups shaping streaming options. The Raiders’ Week 1 pass volume and Buffalo’s high-scoring potential create several strong DFS paths, especially with stacked QBs and WRs. In all, Fields, Mahomes, and Lawrence headline the QB pool, while Allen, Lamb, Rashee Rice, and Pacheco offer high ceiling with solid floors in dynamic offenses.

Vikings rally past the Bears as a patchy start gives way to late-game clarity from JJ McCarthy, who steadies Minnesota with measured, clutch throws and a decisive fourth-quarter drive. Jefferson remains a fantasy cornerstone, while Caleb Williams shows ceiling but nerves in his NFL debut. Minnesota’s improved interior line—Donovan Jackson and Brian O’Neill anchoring the up-front—paves the way for a run-heavy finish with Jordan Mason. Chicago’s DJ Moore remains a prime air-weapon, even as the offense scuffles early.

Breece Hall erupted for 100 rushing yards, flashing the Jets’ ceiling while touchdowns were siphoned by Fields and Brilan Allen. Fantasy managers should weigh the spike against continued TD volatility, exploring sell-high options if the price is right but not panicking on a floor that could still carry solid week-to-week output.

Fields’ designed runs and Allen’s goal-line work squash Hall’s TD upside at times, adding a layer of risk to his ceiling. The offense showed juice, yet Hall’s true value hinges on TDs and volatile short-area usage, making the decision whether to chase or cash in a nuanced call for this week and beyond.
