Week 2 Advantages & Disadvantages For Fantasy Football: Jadarian Price, Justin Jefferson & More
FantasyLife • • sports
Key Points:
- Jadarian Price is favored in Week 2 due to a favorable matchup against the Arizona Cardinals' weak run defense, particularly their linebackers Mack Wilson and Jack Gibbens who rank below the 20th percentile in run defense metrics.
- Despite the Cardinals limiting the Chargers' running backs before contact, their overall run defense is still ranked near the bottom, and Seattle's strong offensive line and zone blocking scheme should exploit this weakness.
- The Seahawks have a high run-blocking grade and are expected to run more with Drew Lock at quarterback, especially as they are favored to win by 3.5 points, increasing Price's opportunities for productive runs.
- Price had a solid Week 1 performance with a 52% opportunity share and top-tier efficiency metrics, suggesting he can reach RB2 fantasy value by taking advantage of the Cardinals' poor tackling and linebacker unit.
- This analysis is part of updated fantasy football rankings and projections available through the FantasyLife+ subscription service.
