Week 2 fantasy outlooks center on clear anchors and smart pivots for a tight lineup. Baker Mayfield remains a steady mid-range QB1 with a pass-heavy Buccaneers plan, even as key targets miss time. Omarion Hampton offers high-end RB2 upside despite a tougher early slate. Quentin Johnston and Keenan Allen provide versatile Chargers receiving options, while Mike Evans steps in as a reliable veteran target for Tampa. Justin Herbert, Nick Chubb, and a mix of deeper plays from Ashton Jeanty and Emeka Egbuka round out the core decisions. Brock Bowers carries upside but also risk with injury chatter; plan accordingly.

Use the Who Should I Start? tool to compare up to four players, weigh volume versus matchup, and lock in a Week 2 lineup that balances floor with ceiling. Prioritize high-target/high-route players in favorable matchups and stash depth pieces for leverage in flex spots.

Monday’s schedule stacks a Monday Night Football doubleheader with a nine-game MLB slate. The sportsbook model leans Tampa Bay to win outright at +128 in the MNF matchup, while MLB bets center on Washington’s +144 against Atlanta and an Over 8 in Pittsburgh vs Chicago. Player props highlight Junior Caminero (Over 1.5 total bases) and Aaron Judge (Over 0.5 RBI). These bets shape early-week fantasy angles and daily fantasy leverage.

Washington’s momentum vs. a faltering Braves squad, plus the Pirates-Cubs run expectation, creates value opportunities. The night’s prop slate adds a cherry on top for DFS lineups and paras, with Caminero and Judge providing likely multi-positional upside.
