Week 2 fantasy pivots sharpened: Adams and Metcalf look primed for targets, Jones and Stevenson offer solid floor in their high-volume roles, Boutte and Pickens present high-ceiling WR options, Brown should rebound as an elite WR2, Warren and White provide flex upside behind favorable matchups, and Moore remains a steady, high-floor play. A strong mix of veteran reliability and breakout potential drives lineup decisions for Week 2.

Falcons bench Younghoe Koo for Week 2 and tab Parker Romo to handle kicking against the Vikings. Romo, who spent last season with Minnesota, went 11 of 12 on FGs and 7 of 8 on extra points there, while Koo’s accuracy slipped to 73.5% in 2024 after a Pro Bowl 2020 run. Atlanta Coach Raheem Morris emphasized results, not tenure, creating a small window for Romo to reclaim late-game reliability. Fantasy impact hinges on Romo’s early opportunities and conditions Sunday.

Week 2 starts/sits lens focuses on Zach Charbonnet as Seattle aims to lean on the run game, with Kenneth Walker III in a complementary role. Jordan Mason brings bruising value in a Vikings backfield that appears to have found balance. Isiah Pacheco faces a tougher test after a quiet opener, needing a rebound against a tougher Philadelphia defense. A.J. Brown looks to rebound with Hurts and a likely uptick in targets; Keon Coleman has emerged as Buffalo’s No. 1-ish option, while Marquise Brown could pepper the Chiefs with targets as Rashee Rice and Worthy sit. Justin Fields is a top Week 2 QB play for the Jets, and Jonnu Smith provides a solid tight end streaming option for Pittsburgh.

Falcons bench Younghoe Koo for Sunday Night Football, elevating Parker Romo for a one-week audition after Koo’s uneven season. Romo, who starred with Minnesota last year (11-of-12 FG), takes over as Atlanta weighs a longer-term move. The SNF matchup against Romo’s former team adds drama to a decision that could reshape the Falcons’ kicking plan beyond Week 1 and boost Romo’s fantasy upside.
