The NFL’s opening week gave us plenty of surprises — and fantasy managers need to react quickly. Here are the must-add names heading into Week 2.
When building your roster heading into Week 2, this Fantasy Football Week 1 Recap and Waiver Wire Week 2 Targets list gives you the edge in PPR and standard leagues.
Daniel Jones (QB – Colts)
Jones looked reborn in Indy, dropping 29.5 PPR points with both his arm and legs. If you need a QB, he’s a priority pickup.
Justin Fields (QB – Steelers)
Fields showed why he’s still a fantasy cheat code, posting 29 points with a balanced passing and rushing attack. He’s roster-worthy in every format.
Quentin Johnston (WR – Chargers)
Johnston delivered a breakout performance: 5 catches, 79 yards, 2 TDs. He’s shaping up as a must-start WR2.
Michael Penix Jr. (QB – Falcons)
Now in his second year, Penix looked comfortable, throwing for 298 yards and a touchdown while also running for another score. He’s a strong SuperFlex or streamer option.
Dylan Sampson (RB – Jaguars)
Sampson’s 8 receptions for 64 yards gave him 17 PPR points. His role in the passing game makes him a sneaky flex in PPR leagues.
Calvin Austin III (WR – Steelers)
The speedster turned 4 catches into 70 yards and a touchdown. He’s a big-play threat worth stashing.
Juwan Johnson (TE – Saints)
8 catches on 11 targets for 76 yards makes Johnson a TE1 candidate on waivers this week.
Harold Fannin Jr. (TE – Browns)
The young tight end saw plenty of work, catching 7 passes for 63 yards. Deep-league managers should take note.
Trey Tucker (WR – Raiders)
Tucker only had 2 catches, but one went for a touchdown. He’s a boom-or-bust stash with upside in deeper leagues.
Final Takeaway
If you’re targeting quarterbacks, Daniel Jones and Justin Fields are league-winning adds. At receiver, Quentin Johnston and Calvin Austin stand out, while Dylan Sampson is a PPR sleeper. Tight end streamers should look hard at Juwan Johnson and Harold Fannin Jr.
Don’t wait — put in your waiver claims before your competition does.
