Week 2 Targets:

\


Quarterbacks


* Sam Howell - Currently sitting as QB9 through two games, Howell is a gem waiting to be picked. If he's still available, consider this your green signal.
* CJ Stroud - Stroud's Week 2 was commendable despite the roller-coaster performances. In need of a QB? Think of him as a bye-week safeguard.
* Gardner Minshew - While Richardson's plays are thrilling, they're also perilous. Minshew stands as a reliable choice whenever Richardson takes a breather.

Running Backs


Injury shadows loom large over Chubb, Barkley, and Williams.
* Jerome Ford - Ford's the go-to guy in Cleveland until a new recruit emerges. Don't hesitate to invest your FAAB for him.
* Zach Moss - As we await Taylor's return, Moss holds the fort.
* Matt Breida - Although Breida isn't top-tier, Barkley's early struggles might give him some prominence in the coming weeks.

Wide Receivers


While the options seem limited, there are rookie potentials worth watching.
* Josh Reynolds - His consistent performance thus far tags him as this week's top WR addition.
* Tutu Atwell - The Rams are exceeding expectations, and there's ample for both Puca and potentially Atwell. While Atwell is more of a long-term investment, his current trajectory is promising.
* Marvin Mims - Mims had some remarkable deep catches. He's still a gamble for regular starts but is a stash-worthy option.

Tight Ends


* Zach Ertz - Dobbs' surprising form has been a boon for all associated players. Sitting comfortably at TE7 after two weeks, Ertz is a must-grab if he's available in your league.

Plan your strategies well, and see you next week!
