Fantasy Football Landmines to Avoid for Week 2 (2026)

Key Points:
- Fantasy football expert Aidin advises benching Chase Brown, Tyler Shough, Chris Godwin Jr., TreVeyon Henderson, and Michael Mayer for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season due to tough matchups and questionable team situations.
- Chase Brown faces a strong Houston Texans run defense that limited top rushers last season, making his production likely to decline after a modest Week 1 performance.
- Tyler Shough will contend with the Baltimore Ravens' stout defense and may be hampered by the questionable status of his top receiver Chris Olave, suggesting a challenging game ahead.
- Chris Godwin Jr. is expected to see reduced targets against the Browns, who had one of the stingiest defenses against wide receivers last year, while Godwin is still recovering from injuries.
- TreVeyon Henderson returns from injury but is not the primary back for the Patriots and will face a revitalized Steelers defense, making him a risky start in Week 2.
- Michael Mayer, despite increased targets from the Raiders, faces a tough matchup against the Chargers who limit tight end production, reducing his fantasy upside this week.
