Allgeier finished with 15 rush attempts to Bijan’s 10. Tyler Allgeier (ATL) has to be in lineups if he’s going to command this much work. There’s almost no way you aren’t starting him versus Las Vegas. The Bills have the highest implied team total of the week (28.25), so Cook has a good chance to get in on the scoring fun. James Cook (BUF) is clearly Buffalo’s go-to back, dominating the rushing share (67%) and finishing second among all Bills in target share (15%). Gibbs should be in your lineup as we await his true breakout. The two receptions were encouraging to see, and he’ll likely continue to get more work as the season goes on. Despite playing just 27.5% of snaps, Gibbs finished with only 14 fewer total yards than David Montgomery. Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) didn’t win you the week in fantasy, but he flashed the potential that made him a first-round pick. While I like Smith to bounce back at some point, there are too many quality quarterbacks out there to warrant using Smith against a Lions defense that held Patrick Mahomes in check last week. Geno Smith (SEA) disappointed in Week 1, finishing as the QB25 despite a seemingly favorable matchup. I’d rather sit Cousins on Thursday night. He scored only 11.8 fantasy points in that game. He threw three interceptions against Philly last season. However, Cousins also turned the ball over three times in a loss to the Bucs. Yes, Mac Jones did just put up big stats, 316 yards and three touchdowns, against the Eagles en route to a QB2 finish (25.1 points). Sure, he did just throw for 344 yards and two touchdowns. Kirk Cousins (MIN) is difficult to trust against good defenses. Another high-volume game isn’t out of the question. Still, there’s a chance the Pats are facing a negative game script yet again considering how sharp Miami’s offense looked last week. No, the Patriots aren’t going to throw 54 times every game, and, when they don’t, his fantasy stock will take a hit as he ranked just 12th in fantasy points per drop-back (0.43). Mac Jones (NE) at least deserves a mention after his 25.1-point, QB2 finish in Week 1. Unfortunately, he doesn’t draw Chicago every week, but playing on turf against a suspect Atlanta defense still leaves plenty of room for fantasy success. Love finished as the QB3 in Week 1 and checked in second with 0.51 EPA per drop-back. Jordan Love (GB) is going to play his way into starting consideration if he keeps this up, but for now, he’s locked in as a top quarterback streamer. His rushing upside gives him a solid floor, although a Monday matchup with Pittsburgh isn’t ideal. Wet conditions resulted in an ugly game for both quarterbacks in Cleveland, but Watson still averaged the third-most fantasy points per drop-back (0.56) despite posting the fifth-lowest EPA per drop-back (-0.42) among starters. Deshaun Watson (CLE) finished as the QB5 in fantasy last week but it wasn’t pretty. He’ll likely be asked to do a lot more this week, but it’s hard to get excited about his matchup considering the Jets just held Josh Allen to 12.0 points. Dak Prescott (DAL) didn’t have a great fantasy game in Week 1, but the Cowboys didn’t need him to do much in a 40-0 blowout. Considering how badly Seattle got handled by the Rams wideouts, Goff is an easy start. Even in a tough matchup at Arrowhead, Goff delivered a solid 14.0 fantasy points. Jared Goff (DET) is about as safe as they come. Jones is the QB10 for Week 2, according to numberFire’s model, and his rushing upside gives him a lot of intrigue in a bounce-back spot. While the Cardinals defense did a good job against Sam Howell last week, they’re not the same quality as the Cowboys D. Daniel Jones (NYG) struggled mightily in Week 1, but he’s rarely played well against Dallas. 1 option, and a matchup in Houston isn’t a bad spot. Richardson’s rushing upside makes him really hard to sit unless you have a clear-cut No. If he had a second rushing touchdown, we would be talking about him as a set-and-forget QB1. Anthony Richardson (IND) delivered in Week 1 and finished as the QB4 despite having to leave the game after being tackled on the 1-yard line.
