Aaron Jones is a strong start projected as a top 20 running back with an expectation of 15 to 17 touches and touchdown upside against a weak defense.

Adam Thielen is ranked as the WR21 and remains the more talented receiver compared to Jaylen Coker, despite Coker's recent target share success. Thielen is the stronger play, though he faces tougher defensive coverage.

The source projects Alvin Kamara to return to the lineup for Week 2, which negatively impacts the outlook for other Saints running backs like Travis Etienne Jr. and Kendre Miller, as it risks creating a frustrating three-man committee.

Bijan Robinson is projected as the RB1 for the week, with expectations for high volume in both the rushing and receiving game. The Falcons' offensive game plan centers on feeding him, as evidenced by his projected 90 rushing yards and 44 receiving yards on five receptions.

The source recommends Braelon Allen as a priority pickup for Breece Hall owners, as he has clearly established himself as the primary backup and would have a strong role if Hall were injured.

The source considers Breece Hall a must-start regardless of the matchup, as he is guaranteed to receive enough touches and usage to be fantasy-relevant.

Brock Bowers is out with an injury and is expected to return by week three.

The source classifies Chase Brown as a must-start, though expectations should be tempered due to the difficult matchup against the Texans.

Olave is a recommended start with a strong projection of 9.5 targets, 6 receptions, 84 yards, and 0.4 touchdowns, reflecting his significant role in the Saints' offense.

Chuba Hubbard is considered a solid flex play and a viable RB2 option if necessary, given his significantly higher usage compared to Jonathan Brooks in Week 1 and a favorable game script against the Falcons.

The source recommends starting DJ Moore, citing very good usage in Week 1.

Dallas Goedert is a must-start due to his role in the offense, but the source warns of downside risk if the Eagles dominate the game early and shift to a run-heavy approach.

Dalton Kincaid is a strong start with very good usage from Week 1. The source highlights his downfield looks and notes that his role is highly encouraging compared to previous seasons where he dealt with injuries or diminished usage.

Dalton Schultz becomes a stronger start and a viable tight end streaming option if Nico Collins is out due to his hamstring injury.

The source is lowering projections for De'Von Achane due to the Dolphins' offensive environment, specifically noting low target volume and limited touchdown potential.

The source notes that DeMario Douglas will receive some of the available target share in the Patriots' offense.

Derrick Henry is a smash start as a home favorite; the source projects 20 carries, 93 rushing yards, and 1.1 touchdowns, citing his high efficiency and volume potential.

DeVonta Smith is a must-start due to his large target share, but the source notes elevated risk if the Eagles lean heavily on the run in the second half of a blowout.

The source projects 8.4 targets, 4.5 receptions, 54 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns for DK Metcalf, noting a tough matchup against Christian Gonzalez.

The source is encouraged by Wicks' long-term outlook despite negative Week 1 receiving yards, but advises against starting him this week due to low expected passing volume. However, the source also highlights his strong usage in Week 1, including downfield looks and high target volume, and recommends him as a WR25 start.

Drake London is viewed as a strong start but sits at the bottom of his tier due to poor quarterback play; he is currently ranked as the WR24 with projections of 4.7 receptions, 59.4 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns.

Elijah Surratt is not recommended for fantasy lineups as he appears to be buried on the Ravens' depth chart.

The source considers Garrett Wilson a must-start regardless of the matchup, as he is guaranteed to receive enough touches and usage to be fantasy-relevant.

The source classifies Ja'Marr Chase as a superstar who must be in starting lineups, though expectations should be tempered due to the difficult matchup against the Texans.

Jaylen Coker is ranked as the WR32 and is a viable start following a monstrous target share in Week 1. While he is benefiting from not facing top shutdown corners, his fantasy production has been impressive enough to warrant consideration alongside Thielen.

Jalen Hurts maintains a positive outlook due to his rushing floor and efficiency, even in game scripts that might favor a run-heavy approach for the Eagles.

The source is encouraged by Jameson Williams' usage, ranking him as the WR28 for the week. While his full PPR projection is modest at 3.8 points, he is considered a viable flex option due to his yardage potential and touchdown upside in a high-total game.

Jared Goff is ranked as the QB22 and is not recommended as a starter. The source cites a lack of rushing upside and expects the Lions to implement a run-heavy game plan to keep Josh Allen off the field, making Goff a player to avoid in favor of better streaming options.

The source expresses caution regarding Jayden Reed, noting that his role as a slot-only receiver could lead to reduced playing time if the Packers are winning in the second half.

The source is encouraged by Jaylen Warren's usage, projecting 3.8 receptions, and recommends him as a flex option, especially in full PPR leagues.

Jonathan Brooks is not recommended for fantasy lineups as he is currently utilized as a change-of-pace and receiving back. While he is being ramped up slowly, his role remains limited for immediate fantasy production.

Jordan Addison is a shaky flex option due to a very low target share in week one, making it difficult to project him as a top 35 receiver despite a favorable matchup.

The source recommends starting Josh Allen for Week 2, noting the Bills' high 29-point team projection.

The source notes that Kalen Ballage does not project poorly for Week 2, with an expectation of nine carries for 40 yards, though he lacks receiving upside.

The source advises against starting Kayshon Boutte, noting he is part of a rotation and not yet fully ramped up in the offense.

Khalil Shakir is projected as the WR35 with only 9 half-PPR points. The source suggests there are much better plays available and does not view him as a priority start.

Kyle Pitts is considered a strong start but sits at the end of the tier; he is projected for 3.5 receptions, 45.5 yards, and 0.2 touchdowns, with the source suggesting he could be benched until quarterback play improves.

Mark Andrews is a streaming option who would elevate into a better play if Zay Flowers is inactive.

MarShawn Lloyd is recommended as an RB2 or flex start. The source expects him to see more playing time and touches this week compared to week one, as the Vikings' extreme blitz rate from the previous game is unlikely to be repeated by other opponents.

The source advises against starting Nico Collins, as he is expected to miss the upcoming game due to a hamstring injury.

Rashod Bateman is not recommended for starting lineups, as he is projected poorly as the WR73.

The source recommends starting Rhamondre Stevenson as a low-end RB2, projecting him in the RB16-20 range, though notes that the potential return of Trayveon Henderson could impact his workload.

Rome Odunze is a viable flex option with a projection of roughly 10.5 half-PPR points and potential for gadget usage like end-arounds.

Pollard is a borderline flex option whose projection is trending downward; the source expresses concern over the Titans' poor offense and the backfield split with Tyjae Spears and potentially others.

The source is concerned about Etienne's Week 1 performance and usage, noting that the potential return of Alvin Kamara and the involvement of Kendre Miller could create a frustrating three-man committee.

The source advises against starting Trey Harris, stating he needs to ramp up and show more usage before he is fantasy-relevant.

The source identifies Tucker Kraft as a must-start, though notes that the current projection of 5.6 targets and 61 yards might be slightly aggressive based on historical matchup data.

The source advises against starting Xavier Hutchinson, noting he is part of a wide receiver rotation in the absence of Nico Collins and lacks the talent or matchup upside to be a viable play.

Zay Flowers' hamstring injury appears minor, and the source recommends starting him if he is active, though fantasy managers should verify his status before kickoff.
