ESPN • • general
Key Points:
- Weekly fantasy football lineup decisions can be aided by matchup rankings that evaluate opposing defenses based on adjusted fantasy points allowed, offering a schedule-independent measure of positional matchups.
- Quarterback highlights include Dak Prescott facing a favorable Week 2 matchup against the Washington Commanders, while Joe Burrow is advised to be avoided due to the Texans' strong defense against non-mobile QBs.
- Running back David Montgomery is favored against the Bengals due to his goal-line role and the Bengals' recent struggles in goal-to-go defense; Cam Skattebo faces a tough matchup against the Rams' strong run defense.
- Wide receiver Terry McLaurin has a promising matchup versus the Cowboys, who have struggled against receivers recently, whereas Parker Washington faces a challenging defense in the Broncos, limiting his upside.
- Tight end Travis Kelce remains a strong fantasy option despite his age, facing the Colts' defense that was among the worst against tight ends last season and recently allowed significant production to Mark Andrews.
