Player insights
Bijan Robinson
PositiveProjection10:00
Coming off a 31-point performance, Robinson is a must-start against Carolina and is expected to crush it in Week 2.
Insight pageChristian McCaffrey
NegativeBust12:03
The source expresses concern regarding McCaffrey's volume and performance, warning that if he does not produce against Miami in Week 2, he is at risk of having a bad season due to target dilution.
Insight pageChristian Watson
NegativeBust0:56
The source is skeptical of Watson's long-term value, labeling his Week 1 performance as lucky due to an 81-yard touchdown and suggesting he is prone to injury and has never consistently performed.
Insight pageJeremiyah Love
NegativeUsage3:23
The source was disappointed by Love's usage relative to Algier in Week 1, but attributes the split to first-week jitters and Love returning from injury, expecting his role to grow.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson
PositiveMatchup8:40
Jefferson has a favorable matchup against Chicago, but the source notes his outlook is highly dependent on the quarterback situation, specifically whether Carson Wentz or Kyler Murray starts.
Insight pageKalif Raymond
PositiveBust4:15
The source warns against picking up Raymond from the waiver wire, noting he is 32 years old with no 1,000-yard seasons in 10 years and that his Week 1 target volume was a fluke.
Insight pageKenyon Sadiq
PositiveRole14:07
Sadiq is expected to see increased integration into the offense against Green Bay after being limited in Week 1 due to an off-season groin injury.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveBreakout3:55
Burden is expected to have a breakout game against Minnesota. Despite no touchdowns in Week 1, he secured five targets and the source argues he is the superior option to Khalif Raymond, who is dismissed as a 32-year-old journeyman.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
PositiveRole0:53
The source identifies Golden as the primary target-getter on his team and expresses high conviction in starting him, contrasting his role with Christian Watson's reliance on a single lucky 81-yard touchdown.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
PositiveProjection5:45
Lawrence is a 'boom' candidate for Week 2 against Denver after finishing as a top-10 quarterback in Week 1 with four touchdowns and 245 yards.

0:00NFL Fantasy Week 2 is here. I'm going to give you guys 10 players that are about to go crazy and absolutely boom for Week 2.
0:07Get your pen and paper out. You may want to trade for these players.
0:11You may want to look to acquire some of these players.
0:15I'm ready to dive in. If you have a specific question, I'm answering a waiver wire question.
0:19I know waiver wire is here. Week 2, Patreon right now.
0:22Link in the box if you want direct access to me.

0:29I got news coming out here every day. I got videos coming out here every day.
0:33Make sure you guys do hit the thumbs up.
0:36Hit the thumbs up. And again, join the Patreon for direct access.
0:39Amazing community. Number one fantasy community. Join now, okay?
0:42Let's dive into this. Players are about to take off this week.
0:45And listen, I'm going to talk about quickly what happened last week.
0:49Don't let last week be the indicator for what's necessarily going to happen the entire season.
0:53Example, right? I'm a big Matthew Golden guy. And everybody's on Christian Watson.
0:57Christian Watson had one good week. Big touchdown. One was an 81-yard touchdown.
1:01Lucky catch, right? He's never, ever performed. Like that.
1:03He's going to get hurt. Matthew Golden was the number one target getter on the team.
1:08I'm starting Matthew Golden because I believe he's the one right now.
1:11I have a conviction in that, right? There's certain things that happened last week that may not happen this week, right?
1:17So it's about seeing, okay, this happened last week.
1:20You got to, can't just base everything off one week.
1:22There's a lot of one week wonders. Remember last year, Keon Coleman week one had like a 21 point game.
1:28What happened to Keon Coleman the entire season, right?
1:31So you just got to be aware. Sometimes some people have lucky weeks and maybe Christian Watson has a good year.
1:37I don't know. I'm saying that's just one example of like, just take a deep breath.
1:41Let the first week soak in. We're about to win.
1:44Now, mind you, I won three out of my four leagues.
1:47Everybody in 60 rounds is pretty much crushing it.
1:50Obviously, Omari and Hampton didn't have the best week, but now we're going to move forward.
1:54It was a bad week. The talent, it's not, not to say Omari Hampton is going to suck all year.
2:00The talent is there. He's going to do better.
2:03Another guy I was upset about was Jeremiah Love.
2:05Jeremiah Love, so disappointed that I'm seeing Algier on there.
2:08But then I said to myself, hold on. It was his first week coming off injury.
2:13They're getting integrated. It was all just a work in progress.
2:16Now I'm still going to see Algier, unfortunately, but hopefully not as much.
2:19So let the first week fizzle out first week jitters and understand that these players need some time to get into it.
2:26And week two is really going to be a place to set the tone.
2:30Okay. So listen, I'm excited. All right. Let's talk about 10 players that we're expecting to step up.
2:35This upcoming week. Number one is Luther burden last week had five targets.
2:38Okay. He was the number two wide receiver last week on the bears, right?
2:42Five receptions, but no touchdowns. All right. This is the big thing, right?
2:46That is going to make a big difference the next week.
2:49If they simply just have a touchdown, right? So what I'm saying is I think Luther burden is due.
2:55And when I say Khalif Raymond, I'm looking at right now.
2:58When I said that Luther was number two, Khalif Raymond had nine targets.
3:01I'm not really sold that Khalif Raymond is the wide receiver one.
3:05Why? Khalif Raymond has been in the league 10 seasons.
3:08Okay. He's got zero 1000 yard rushing season. So everyone's rushing out to get Khalif Raymond off waiver wire.
3:13Go back and take a look at who Khalif Raymond is.
3:16He's been in the league since 2016. He's 32 years old.
3:19He's done absolutely nothing. And everyone's jumping on. Oh, I got to pick up Khalif Raymond.
3:24Like, dude, like, are you kidding me? Luther burden is due.
3:27All right. He was the number two targetter because Khalif Raymond had himself a lucky week.
3:32It happens, right? People get lucky weeks once in a while.
3:35It happens. Doesn't mean it's going to happen again.
3:37So I think Luther burns going to go off against Minnesota.
3:40So Luther burn. I do like him versus Minnesota.
3:43Look out. Boom upside. Right. Next one is Trevor Lawrence versus Denver.
3:46Okay. We just saw what happened last night, but Denver, I mean, maybe they step it up, but Trevor Lawrence's first game, four touchdowns, 245 yards.
3:54Man, Jacksonville's defense looks good. I had them started.
3:56I'm happy with them, but Trevor Lawrence. And in fact, the Jacksonville Jaguars are all starts.
4:01I mean, we're going to do a full starts and sits episode tomorrow.
4:05So make sure you guys are tuned in full starts and sits episode coming out tomorrow or Thursday.
4:10I'm just trying to decide which day to release it.
4:13Probably probably Thursday morning. It's probably better, but listen, I'm going to get you guys fully covered, but when you're looking at
4:19starts, Trevor Lawrence, again, he was outside the top 15 amongst quarterbacks.
4:22And he finished as a top 10. Like, that's what happens, right?
4:26Like rankings don't work, right? Rankings don't work. You got to think of who's trending up, who's trending up.
4:31That's why if you got 16 rounds, you guys are already light years ahead.
4:35All right. Trevor Lawrence is a guy that's going to go boom this week.
4:39Number three, a lot of people discouraged, but the 11 points or so from Amika Ibuka last week, he is going to go off.
4:46He is playing Cleveland. That's all I got to say, right?
4:49That's all I got to say. Again, no touchdowns, five receptions, but no touchdowns, but he was the number one target getter amongst wide receivers on the Buccaneers.
4:57And he looked good early on in the game.
4:59Just did not get targeted as much. Ted Hurst got involved.
5:03You know, they were struggling a little bit, but they are playing Cleveland and Cleveland sucks.
5:07We saw that last week, right? So Amika Ibuka, six targets, five receptions.
5:11That's going to go up this week. Okay. Listen, I'm excited, man.
5:14I'm excited about Amika. This is the week. Look out.
5:17Kaboom. All right. Number four here. Now this one's an interesting one.
5:21Justin Jefferson versus Chicago. They gave up 37 points last week.
5:24Nine targets. Carson Wentz came into that game. They won the game.
5:27He had three touchdowns and zero interceptions. Now is Kyler Murray going to come back?
5:31Hopefully not. For Justin Jefferson's sake, because he was doing pretty good with Wentz.
5:35So he does have a favorable matchup versus Chicago.
5:38It's going to be interesting to see who the quarterback is, but Justin Jefferson could absolutely go off this week.
5:44All right. But predicated. Now if Kyler comes back again, that could really screw him.
5:48So be aware of that situation. Obviously, if you drive to Jefferson round one, I did, I did not, you know, but
5:54if he did, he's got a good week coming up.
5:57All right. Number five here is pretty obvious, but it's such a good matchup.
6:01It's by Jan Robinson. Versus Carolina coming off like a 31 point game.
6:05Look for him to absolutely crush it versus Carolina this week.
6:08I do like my buy Jan this week. Number six.
6:11This one's an interesting one. 15 attempts last week.
6:13All right. Again, going back to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
6:16Bashal Tootin. There's no one there. Rodriguez had six attempts.
6:19Bashal had 15. So he's the alpha dog there.
6:21He's playing Denver. We just saw what happened with Kenneth Walker, the Chiefs in Denver, whether that was a scripted game or not.
6:28We don't know. All we know is Bashal Tootin's got a good matchup on paper so far.
6:3215 attempts. We know he's the alpha dog. We know Jacksonville is doing well.
6:36Bashal Tootin should have a good game. So you guys, if you want to get in on the action and if you
6:43want to play and if you want to predict higher or lower on these, make sure you guys do join underdog right now.
6:49Use code lion. I'm not, I'm not just saying that like, I'm just talking right now.
6:54You guys are watching. I always talk about underdog guys.
6:57Get in the action. Just go sign up, put down a deposit and you get up to $1,000 bonus cash.
7:02Like why wouldn't you take advantage of that? If you guys play fantasy, you watch the games.
7:07Why don't you capitalize on that? It's a no brainer.
7:10If you guys want my picks, counselors edge below.
7:13And let's, let's, let's cash in guys. What's wrong with you?
7:16Let's do it. Create an account underdog. Use code lion.
7:19Let's get in. Okay. Take advantage of that bonus.
7:21All right. Number seven here is CMC versus Miami.
7:24Listen, if you know, CMC busted last week, if CMC does not get it done this week, I don't know what to tell you.
7:31Like we saw what Gentty did to Miami last week.
7:33If CMC does not do that, I would be concerned as a CMC owner.
7:37I'm telling you right now. I told you not to draft CMC week one sucked.
7:42We saw a lot of Klon black. I told you that you would.
7:45And I stashed Klon black and you know, black's really good by the way.
7:49So CMC is in trouble. I mean, if he does not do it this week for your fantasy team, look out, man,
7:56he's going to have a bad year. It's going to be targeted dilution of volume.
8:00It's not going to be good, man, for CMC owners.
8:03So versus Miami, we saw what Gentty did. CMC has got a boom this week.
8:07All right. Number eight, this is an obvious one, but I mean, I mean, but it's not so obvious, but Jameer Gibbs,
8:13he went off last week and you expect them to go off every week, but this week he's going against Buffalo.
8:19We saw what David Montgomery did in Buffalo and Jameer Gibbs has no competition and he's really good.
8:24So his old counterpart crushed it. We're going to see how Gibbs does there in Buffalo.
8:29Could absolutely go off, man. Like if you guys, the problem with Gibbs, I wanted him.
8:33I didn't get him because he was, I didn't draft first overall or second overall in my leagues.
8:38I got the ninth, 10th, 11th pick. So I wasn't able to get Gibbs, but man, oh man, he is awesome.
8:44All right. Number nine, I had him on my bench last year and I regret last week and I regret it.
8:50He had 11 points. I think he gets more integrated in the offense this week is Kenyan Sadiq.
8:56Now he had that, I think it was like a rushing touchdown or a small throat near the goal line.
9:01It was a quick thing. I want to see more Sadiq and he was integrated, I think slowly last week because he
9:07was, he didn't practice with the team. He did not practice with the team much because of the groin injury in the off season should be back.
9:15They got to utilize it. They want to win.
9:18Sadiq should go off this week versus Green Bay.
9:20And the last one here is now I'm going to give you guys a bonus one here.
9:25Let me give you a good one here because I actually got my analyzer up and I want to give you guys
9:31some, something really good here because I should give you a couple.
9:35Let me give you two bonuses here. Okay. Two guys have great matchups because again, this one I had, I'm like, eh, I'm not that excited about here.
9:43Now, again, we talk about Kalen Black, but let me give you two guys.
9:47Number one, Derek Henry. I think he's going to have a great game versus the, the, uh, the saints, but another guy
9:53that could have himself a good game for you is Brees Hall versus Green Bay coming off a decent week over 20 points last week.
10:00Brees the beast. There's a couple of bonuses are for you to get you guys set up.
10:05Uh, NFL fantasy football week two, those are some must starts major upside.
10:09Uh, again, drop a question below, get into my Patreon.
10:11I'm answering waiver wire questions today for week two.
10:14And, uh, I'm going to see you guys in the next video tomorrow.
10:18Appreciate you, appreciate you guys lying mentality. Again, don't discourage, get discouraged after week one, tons of time.
10:23Let's win. Let's eat.
