WEEK 2 FANTASY FOOTBALL STARTS OF THE WEEK

Erik Trosclair • September 15, 2024

Let's get into it!

QBs


- Jared Goff - Tampa's defensive backfield is very beat up. This game can turn into a track meet quick.

- Baker Mayfield - The last time Baker played in Detriot, he put up 349 passing yards and 3 TDs. This will be a fun game to watch. Baker is coming off of a strong week 1 performance.

- Matthew Stafford - This Arizona defense is not very good. Stafford will have lots of opportunity to put up points in this one.

- Justin Fields - This is a weak Denver defense. Fields has strong rushing upside. He will look to build off of his week 1 performance.


RBs


- Rhamondre Stevenson - He received a ton of work in week 1. "If it ain't broke don't fix it." This Seattle defense is weak against the run.

- Josh Jacobs - With Jordan Love being injured, Jacobs may get a little more involved in this week's gameplan. This Indianapolis run defense has some holes.

- Jordan Mason - It looks like CMC may miss this week. Mason will look to continue what he started in week 1.

- J.K. Dobbins - Dobbins broke some long runs in week 1. Coach Harbaugh wants to run the ball. This Carolina defense spends a lot of time on the field.


WRs


- Cooper Kupp - With Nucua dinged up, Kupp received a ton of work in week 1. Look for that trend to continue.

- Deebo Samuel Jr. - Deebo looks to already be in midseason form along with the rest of this 49ers defense. He will always be involved in a big way.

- George Pickens - With Justin Fields starting in week 1, Pickens was peppered with targets. This shouldn't change this week.

- Jameson Williams - #sickostartoftheweek - This Tampa Bay defensive backfield is beat up. Jameson is a real speedster. After his strong week 1 performance, I like him to do more of the same this week.


TEs


- Kyle Pitts - Pitts caught a TD in week 1, and this Philly defense is not too good against TEs.

- Pat Friermuth - Friermuth had a 74% snap count in week 1. He is always on the field. This Denver defense is weak against TEs.

- Brock Bowers - Bowers had a solid week 1 performance. I will park him here until I am proved otherwise.

- Isaiah Likely - Likely had one of the more exciting week 1 performances. Baltimore may ride the hot hand with this one. Mark Andrews was blocking a lot in week 1.


D/STs


- Steelers - The Steelers had a strong week 1 performance. Look for them to build off of this against a rookie QB.

- Patriots - This game has a low over/under. This unit looked good in week 1.

- Chargers - With this Panthers offense, you can plug and play their oppenents D/ST each week.

- Commanders - Daniel Jones is a turnover machine. The Commanders will get you points.


Kickers

- Jake Bates - The highest over/under of the week. This game should have a ton of points

- Chase McLaughlin - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Joshua Karty - Karty had a strong week 1, and this game has a high over/under.

- Jake Moody - Moody had a massive workload in week 1. This 49ers offense is clicking

Kansas City Chiefs 🏹 #ChiefsKingdom TE - Tulane Green Wave Johnny Pascuzzi- jpazzedout 6-4/241 Scouting Report: Athletic tight end with good size and receiving ability who played at Tulane after time at Iowa. Brings the Iowa tight end pedigree with solid blocking fundamentals and improving receiving production in spread offenses. Local Kansas City area product adds extra intrigue for the Chiefs. Strengths Athleticism and size: Impressive combination of height, length, and speed for the position. Good vertical and explosiveness allow him to win in the red zone and down the seam. Reliable hands and route running: Sure-handed catcher who can make contested catches. Shows natural feel for finding soft spots in zones and separating in man coverage. Blocking tenacity: Iowa-developed blocker who plays with good leverage and effort. Willing to engage defenders in the run game and as a pass protector. Football IQ and versatility: Smart player who understands scheme and can align in-line, in the slot, or split wide. High character and special teams contributor potential. Competitive motor: Plays hard on every snap with a team-first attitude and physicality after the catch. Scouts see him as a high-upside camp invitee with the tools to earn a roster spot as a developmental tight end who can contribute on special teams immediately while continuing to develop his receiving game.
