Fantasy Football Sleepers, Week 2: Carson Wentz worth streaming consideration with Kyler Murray out
Key Points:
- Quarterback Carson Wentz, rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues, is a strong sleeper pick for Week 2 due to his Week 1 comeback performance and favorable matchup against Chicago, especially with Kyler Murray ruled out.
- Running back Tyler Allgeier, just over the 50% roster threshold, had a significant Week 1 role with 19 touches and is expected to share carries with rookie Jeremiyah Love, making him a proactive play despite a tough matchup against the Seahawks defense.
- Chris Brooks, rostered at 4%, saw more snaps than MarShawn Lloyd in Week 1 and could have upside against the Jets' struggling run defense, potentially offering value in deeper fantasy leagues.
- Wide receiver Devaughn Vele (45% rostered) had a strong Week 1 showing with 7 receptions for 69 yards and a touchdown, and is expected to maintain a high target share in a potentially high-scoring game against Baltimore.
- Other notable sleeper wide receivers include Caleb Douglas (36%), who impressed in his debut and may benefit from Miami chasing the game, and Demarcus Robinson (3%), whose role could increase due to injuries and who has good chemistry with QB Brock Purdy.
