Congratulations if you made it through the period's opening week without busts at running back. Between surprise inactives, injuries, strange use, and also great ol' made disappointing efficiencies, it had not been an excellent day for a great deal of RBs that were either drafted as sure-fire beginners or high-upside sleepers. We always caution against overreacting heading into Week 2, but it's tough not to when these efficiencies are going to await the air for 7 days. We advise allowing the dust clear up a bit as well as consulting our Week 2 fantasy RB PPR rankings before making any kind of rash start 'em, sit 'em decisions.
The high-target, high-reception RBs in Week 1 were all virtually that you would certainly expect. D'Andre Swift (11 targets, eight catches) as well as Jamaal Williams
(9 targets, eight catches )made the most of ample garbage-time opportunities to end up connected for 2nd in RB receptions behind only Christian McCaffrey( 9). Colts backs Nyheim Hines(8 targets, 6 catches), Jonathan Taylor(7 targets, 6 catches)remained in comparable scenarios. Dalvin Cook and James White also had 6 catches each, while Leonard Fournette as well as Myles Gaskin each had 5. Nobody else had more than four catches, with just James Robinson( 6)and Mike Davis(6)seeing more than 5 targets. WEEK 2 REQUIREMENT RANKINGS: Quarterback|Running Back |
Pass receiver|Tight End|D/ST|Twist Probably much more notable for the PPR crowd is that really did not have a lot of catches, specifically J.D. McKissic (no catches, one target) and also Austin Ekeler (no targets). Ekeler feels like a fluke, however McKissic can be useless if Washington maintains making use of Antonio Gibson (three catches, 5 targets) on passing downs. Najee Harris (one catch, 3 targets), Kenneth Gainwell (2 catches, 3 targets), as well as Saquon Barkley (one catch, three targets) likewise let down majorly as pass-catchers. Harris and also Barkley were substantial disappointments generally, however Gainwell procured right into completion area.
WEEK 2 PPR RANKINGS: Quarterback|Wide Receiver|Tight End|D/ST|Kicker Overall, our PPR rankings are pretty comparable to our standard rankings other than a few apparent moving companies(Hines, White, Gaskin, Fournette, Devin Singletary, Chase Edmonds, etc.). We anticipate a few of these guys to bounce back in their respective receiving video games, however with Barkley (knee) and also Ekeler (hamstring) still much less than 100 percent as well as Harris still standing up to speed in the NFL, maybe a slower shed. The Good News Is, Ekeler (vs. Cowboys) and also Harris (vs. Raiders) have far better competitions today, giving them safe RB2 worths. Barkley (brief week vs. Washington) isn't rather so lucky and is simply a flex in our positions.
WEEK 2 DREAM: Sleepers|Busts|Begin 'em, sit 'em
We likewise anticipate bounce-back efficiencies from Ezekiel Elliott (@ Chargers), Aaron Jones (vs. Lions), as well as Javonte Williams (@ Jaguars), but we're not fairly as optimistic concerning Robinson (vs. Broncos), Davis (@ Buccaneers), and Gaskin (vs. Bills). Luckily, all 3 get bumps in worth in PPR organizations, so they can still pay off as at least flexes.
WEEK 2 DFS SCHEDULES: DraftKings|FanDuel|Yahoo
Elijah Mitchell (@ Eagles) as well as Mark Ingram (vs. Browns) were two of Week 1's greatest shocks, and also we such as both this week. Ingram is a pure quantity play, while Mitchell will require Raheem Mostert (knee) to be non-active. Also after that, Trey Preaching might make his period debut, but Mitchell appears to be the favored option right now. The exact same is true in Buffalo for Singletary even if Zack Moss is active after his surprise scrape.
MORE WEEK 2 DFS: Ideal worths|Best values|Lineup Building contractor
Inevitably, we'll know a great deal even more concerning the RB landscape after this week. Never will certainly we understand whatever-- nevertheless, many groups overreact themselves to Week 1 results as well as turn too far back in the various other instructions-- but we should at the very least obtain a better concept of which backs are in line for more targets this year. That can make a massive distinction in PPR leagues, so pay attention to greater than just the last factor total amounts.
Keep in mind: We'll be updating these RB PPR positions as needed throughout the week. so inspect back for the latest adjustments.
