Week 2 fantasy rankings and injury updates drive start/sit decisions in PPR leagues. Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, while Brock Purdy is out, shifting SF’s offensive plan. Darren Waller is ruled out for the Giants, narrowing Giants’ passing targets. Drake London projects as a low-end WR1 with upside, and Dallas Goedert is sidelined, impacting Eagles’ tight-end run. Top-tier players remain front-and-center: McCaffrey, Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson, with Ridley, Evans, and Walker as reliable mid-to-high-floor options.

Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, anchoring the top tier, while Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs and Saquon Barkley headline the early-season map. Pollard’s workload keeps him in low-end RB2 territory, with Seattle’s backfield trending toward a split between Charbonnet and Walker. Week 2 values hinge on volume, matchup, and pass-game involvement across backfields.

TreVeyon Henderson could see more work in New England, D’Andre Swift needs a TD to reach value, and James Cook returns for Buffalo as backfields normalize. The outlooks emphasize volume, pass-game usage, and injury updates to sharpen start-sit decisions and DFS lines.

Austin Ekeler's season-ending Achilles tear strips Washington of a versatile backfield pillar, forcing a rapid reshuffle behind a rotating trio of backups. Croskey-Merritt, McNichols, and Rodriguez must absorb expanded roles after Brian Robinson Jr. was traded to San Francisco, reshaping Washington's backfield and its third-down and spread packages.

Fantasy managers should reassess Washington's ceiling, watching how workload splits and red-zone opportunities evolve as the new committee settles in, and which back emerges as the clearest value in the weeks ahead.
