Yahoo Sports sports

Key Points:

  • Justin Boone provides weekly waiver-wire pickup recommendations for fantasy football, focusing on players rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues and considering key injuries like A.J. Brown (ankle) and Kyler Murray (concussion).
  • Top overall Week 2 pickups include RB Kaelon Black (49ers), WR Deebo Samuel Sr. (49ers), WR Denzel Boston (Browns), RB Jonah Coleman (Broncos), and TE Kenyon Sadiq (Jets), with notable quarterback Bryce Young (Panthers) highlighted for his strong opener and favorable upcoming schedule.
  • Running backs Kaelon Black and Jonah Coleman are emphasized as valuable backups with potential flex value, especially given injury risks to starters like Christian McCaffrey and J.K. Dobbins.
  • Wide receivers Denzel Boston and Devaughn Vele are recommended as flex options due to their high snap shares and target volume, despite some uncertainty in their teams' passing games.
  • Tight end Kenyon Sadiq is noted as a potential breakout candidate after showing promising involvement post-injury, while streaming options include Dalton Schultz and Brenton Strange; defenses and kickers with favorable schedules are also suggested for Week 2 pickups.
