It looks as though Antonio Gibson will be involved alongside Rhamondre Stevenson. Stevenson is obviously still the primary back, but we need him to be closer to an every-down back if we’re going to trust him to be a RB2 on a bad offense.
Despite Daniel Jones having a terrible start to his first game back, it’s worth noting that Malik Nabers had a 89% route participation and an elite 33% target share from Jones (6 targets on 18 throws). WR2 numbers still likely.
Devin Singletary played on 88% of the 33 offensive snaps with Daniel Jones, had 11 touches, and ran a route on 79% of dropbacks. It’s very hard to not have a RB2 floor if you’re playing as a workhorse in all situations, even on a bad offense. He’s going in the 9th round or later in 12-team drafts.
Cole Kmet and Gerald Everett continue to share a role. While Kmet will probably end up with more high-value targets this year, we’ve seen a rotation two weeks in a row with the starters now. Combine with heavy target competition, Kmet probably isn’t someone to target in redraft.
On 14 Patrick Mahomes dropbacks, Rashee Rice saw a 38% target share, while Xavier Worthy had 33% himself. Don’t hesitate to draft either, but prioritize Rashee Rice as it seems like he’s continuing exactly where he left off last season.
Despite the talk about Washington still figuring out their WR2 spot, Jahan Dotson continues to be the primary slot receiver for the Commanders, and had a 92% route participation alongside Terry McLaurin. Continue to target and draft him late.
Brian Robinson might have gained a lead on Austin Ekeler in Washington’s backfield. Week 1 was more of a rotation, while Week 2 had Robinson starting and playing almost every snap before he was taken out of the game. Robinson looked very good with his touches.
Caleb Williams showed how much of a fantasy factor he can be in Year 1. From making off-script throws to tucking and running into the end zone, there is a lot to like, especially considering the weapons he has. A CJ Stroud-like rookie year is very possible for Williams.
If you’re going to bet on a Bills WR, it should be either Curtis Samuel or Keon Coleman. If Buffalo is willing to replace Mack Hollins with Shakir in 2-WR sets like they did this weekend (Samuel rested), his opportunities will be limited, especially given how much they like Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox.
Jaylen Warren suffered a hamstring injury, and could miss Week 1. I wouldn’t overdraft Najee Harris because of this, and I would take advantage of any dip in Warren’s price in drafts, as there isn’t much long-term concern once he’s back. You might just have to be a big patient before throwing him in your starting lineup.
Bills RB Ray Davis is making a case to be the clear RB2 behind James Cook with his play against 2s and 3s. Continue to draft him late as a handcuff who could have spike weeks due to goal line use.
Add Brenden Rice to your list of last round sleepers. The GOAT’s son made his way to starting alongside Josh Palmer and Ladd McConkey. Loved him at the Senior Bowl. Also, McConkey looks to be the Chargers primary slot WR as of now.
Keep an eye on WR Jordan Whittington. He has 126 receiving yards through two games and leads all NFL WRs in receptions, mostly against backups, but it’s worth noting Sean McVay has talked him up a bit as well. Add him to your dynasty bench or taxi squad.
Miami tipped their hand on De’Von Achane’s usage in the receiving game. There was talk about versatility going into his 2nd year, and they ended up running him as a WR on 31% of his snaps this past weekend. Tyreek, Waddle, and Achane running routes as a WR is… dangerous.
Jaleel McLaughlin entered the rotation alongside starter Javonte Williams, without a third back involved with the first team. This is how I think the RB rotation will end up being, which is the ideal situation given the plethora of RBs they have. Continue to draft Williams at his low price, as he continues to look good.
If you’re punting TE, add Taysom Hill to your list of last round tight ends. He lined up all over the place (TE, WR, RB), including getting 5 carries out of the backfield with the first team.
