Early Fantasy Football Waiver Wire For Week 2: Jalen Coker Is A Major Target
FantasyLife • • sports
Key Points:
- Tyler Shough showed significant improvement in the second half of Week 1, finishing as the QB8 despite a rough start, making him a viable streaming option for Week 2 against Atlanta.
- Kaelon Black emerged as a top waiver wire priority at running back, serving as Christian McCaffrey’s primary handcuff and potentially a mid-to-backend RB1 if McCaffrey misses time.
- Wide receivers Jalen Coker, Demario Douglas, and Antonio Williams stood out with strong Week 1 performances, with Williams notably posting the highest target per route run among all wide receivers, making them key waiver targets.
- Mike Gesicki is a notable tight end waiver wire pickup, displaying high target volume and efficiency with Joe Burrow in Week 1, projecting as a solid back-end TE1/high-end TE2 option.
- Several other players, including Drew Lock (QB), Kendre Miller (RB), and Demarcus Robinson (WR), are worth monitoring for depth and upside in various league formats, especially in superflex and dynasty leagues.
