Week 2 cheat sheets, sleepers, streamers, and rankings for regular and PPR fantasy football leagues in 2024

 

Despite the poor passing statistics in Week 1, which fantasy football managers undoubtedly noted, a few quarterbacks still had successful games.

After throwing for 289 yards and four touchdowns in a victory against the Commanders, Baker Mayfield will face the Lions in Week 2 in one of the best Fantasy football matchups.

Given what we witnessed in Week 1, Matthew Stafford threw for 317 yards versus Detroit, and Mayfield might be worth adding to your Week 2 Fantasy football lineups.

In a defeat to the Chiefs, Lamar Jackson ran for 122 yards and completed a touchdown pass for 273 yards.

Although Jackson is a lock to start against the Raiders, you can make sure you’re getting the most out of your Fantasy football selections by consulting a trustworthy set of Week 2 fantasy football rankings.

Check out the Week 2 Fantasy football rankings from SportsLine’s sophisticated computer model before deciding on your lineups.

Top Week 2 Fantasy football picks 

One unexpected development in Week 2: Despite Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals being the No. 4 overall choice in the 2024 NFL Draft, who is often selected in the second round, the model is fading the wide receiver.

In fact, according to the model, Harrison doesn’t even place in the top 30 at his position, so you might want to exercise caution when starting him in Week 2.

Harrison was only targeted three times on Sunday and only managed to catch one pass for four yards, despite being regarded as the Arizona passing attack’s undeniable top option during the summer.

Kyler Murray’s preferred alternatives were Trey McBride (nine targets) and Greg Dortch (eight targets), while even running back James Conner outran Harrison (4–3) in targets. This week, he faces the Rams, so it might be best to wait and see how things develop from there.

A curveball: Jayden Reed of the Packers, who finished his rookie season with 912 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns, is highly regarded by the model. In 2024 fantasy football drafts, Reed was drafted with an average position of eighth, and he is already providing value to the person who selected him.

In Week 1 against the Eagles, he added a 33-yard rushing touchdown in addition to catching four passes for 138 yards and a touchdown.

He will now face the Colts defense, which lost to the Texans in Week 1 after surrendering 417 yards and 29 points.

With Malik Willis replacing Jordan Love at quarterback, Matt LaFleur would be smart to plan as many touches as possible for Reed, who has scored a touchdown in seven of his previous nine games.

The model has Reed ranked among the top six Fantasy football wide receivers for Week 2 even with Love out of the picture. See the remainder of the Week 2 Fantasy football rankings for more start/sit recommendations.
