Week 2 survivor targets lean Los Angeles Rams at Tennessee and Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland for strong floors, with data-backed edges shaping the picks. Rams are manageable favorites as Cam Ward navigates a Titans front that pressured Stroud, while Baltimore sits as a high-floor option against a Browns offense still finding consistency. The verdict favors risk-controlled plays with clear paths to victory.

Avoid San Francisco at New Orleans and Denver at Indianapolis in Week 2, where injuries and uncertainty cloud outcomes. Market chatter and FantasyLabs-implied totals guide these decisions, underscoring a disciplined approach that prioritizes edge and minimizes downside in a tight Week 2 slate.

Week 1 spotlighted Utah ties across the NFL, with Puka Nacua delivering a high-volume, clutch performance for the Rams after a scary forehead cut and return from concussion protocol. Dalton Kincaid opened Buffalo’s season with the Bills’ first TD and four catches, while Jackson Hawes nabbed his first NFL grab in a late-drive moment. Jordan Love dazzled for Green Bay with two first-half TDs, and Jaylen Warren helped Pittsburgh spark late with a receiving score. Zach Charbonnet and a standout Bills pass-game trio added big-play potential, while Henry To’oTo’o’s tackle highlight showed the Texans’ risk-reward on blitzes. This slate underscored how Utah-bred talents can anchor late-season fantasy value and unsettled Week 1 narratives across the league.

From Nacua’s resilience to Kincaid’s immediate red-zone looks and Love’s efficient start, Week 1 leaned into volume, flow, and situational usage. Bills’ Hawes and Flowers fed on volume and explode-ability, while Warren’s early contribution signaled a larger role in Pittsburgh’s offense. Seahawks’ Charbonnet flashed as a big-play threat, and To’oTo’o’s hit-and-recover moment illustrated how Week 1 themes can quickly reshape shallow fantasy benches into week-to-week advantages.

Seattle elevated Shaquill Griffin and Quinton Bohanna from the practice squad ahead of Week 1 against San Francisco, a move that tightens Seattle’s front-line depth after a thin interior rotation and several injuries. Bohanna faces limited expectancies unless interior injuries mount, while Griffin’s return gives veteran cover at cornerback as Seattle copes with injuries to Johnathan Hankins and Rylie Mills in the middle. With Jake Bobo and Dareke Young ruled out, Seattle’s four active receivers are Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton Jr., and Cody White, creating a high-leverage Week 1 target situation for JSN and an unsettled WR mix for fantasy rosters. Uchenna Nwosu is also out, further stressing the edge and overall pass rush plan.

Seattle's Week 1 build is thinning at wide receiver. Bobo is sidelined by concussion, Tory Horton ankle, Cody White shoulder, and Dareke Young hamstring, with Horton practicing fully later in the week. Uchenna Nwosu is ramping up but not yet ready. Seattle has just six WR on the active roster, leaving depth questions for the 49ers defense. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp are noted as the players not on the initial injury report.

The Seahawks could lean on practice-squad options Ricky White III, Courtney Jackson, and Tyrone Broden if needed. Tyrice Knight’s knee absence is notable but he looks set to play, a big boost for the defense. Injury updates roll out Thursday and Friday ahead of Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. kickoff at Lumen Field.

Stafford is on track to start the season opener against Houston, with left tackle Alaric Jackson set to join practice in full-team drills next week. Jackson’s health moment could shape Rams’ pass protection, a boost if he’s close to full workload. Stafford’s back issue is trending well after a comeback in practice, and the plan hinges on Jackson’s response to increased workload and Jackson’s availability for Week 1.

Ram expectations hinge on Jackson’s health and Stafford’s readiness, which could lift Rams’ fantasy ceilings in an opener against a Texans squad that will test the line. D.J. Humphries’s signing adds depth on the edge, while rookie Josaiah Stewart remains in concussion protocol. Rosters are nearly set, but these health notes will drive Week 1 projections and lineups.
