Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy decisions. As such I'm going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip.
Tee Higgins finds the end zone. Higgins led the team with 140 air yards and drew the lone end-zone target for Cincinnati last week. Of course, it resulted in a flat zero catches. He's too good of a player for that to continue and should find favorable matchups with Marcus Williams and Marlon Humphrey unlikely to suit up for the Ravens.A matchup of two NFC playoff hopefuls with the two operations coming in with vastly different vibes.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks enter Week 2 licking their wounds after a tough home loss to the Rams. To play a little armchair psychologist, they looked like a team that expected to defeat a rebuilding opponent with ease and perhaps, got a little too high on their own press clippings. Pete Carroll is a good enough coach to brush past that one-week aberration but there are long-term concerns after losing both starting tackles in Week 1.
Kansas City’s offense wasn’t up to snuff in Week 1. That’s no surprise considering they learned Travis Kelce was going to be out far too late in the proceedings to adjust the game plan. I want to see this unit with their elite pass-catcher in the mix before casting judgment on how the distribution or impact will work going forward . However, there was such a dramatic rotation at the receiver position and in the backfield that you cannot consider playing any ancillary piece at this point..
The Rams were one of the biggest surprises in Week 1, thanks in large part to a sublime performance by Matthew Stafford. As long as Stafford is playing like that and stays healthy, this offense and overall team are going to out-kick expectations. Josh Allen just had a meltdown, a mistake-fueled performance in Week 1. He wore it, took the blame and is looking to move on here in Week 2. For all the good coming out of the Raiders' initial Week 1 win, there are still a ton of questions about this defense, which ranked 25th in dropback success rate allowed last week. It’s simply up to Allen to play within himself and not needlessly enter chaos mode.
