Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Rankings for Week 2

This week’s fantasy football waiver wire rankings feature several players to consider as teams gear up for their next games. Analysts have compiled a list of targets to help prioritize bids for the week ahead.

Kaelon Black emerged as a notable target after participating in 43.1% of the offensive snaps during the 49ers' victory over the Rams. He recorded 14 carries for 65 yards and one reception for five yards. His future usage may depend on how the 49ers manage Christian McCaffrey's workload, especially following McCaffrey's recent lower-body tightness.

Devaughn Vele also caught attention with a strong performance in the Saints' overtime loss to Detroit, where he recorded seven receptions for 69 yards and one touchdown. His significant playing time suggests he will be a key player until rookie Jordyn Tyson returns from injury. Additionally, Tyler Shough showed promise in his season opener, throwing for 410 yards and three touchdowns, making him a potential quarterback option for fantasy managers. Meanwhile, tight end Michael Mayer led the Raiders in targets during Week 1, but the potential return of Brock Bowers may affect his value moving forward.
