Fantasy Football: Preparing for Week 2 with Key Bench Picks
Confirmed
In Short: As the Fantasy Premier League evolves, experts highlight players to watch on the bench for Week 2.
According to reports, Jahmyr Gibbs delivered a standout performance in the Lions-Saints matchup, providing a true workhorse, elite-efficiency game. FantasyPros advises that it's time to shift focus to Week 2 and suggests that their "Beyond the Waiver Wire" series will serve as a guide for success in fantasy football. The site also highlights that something closer to 50% of carries for a player could make them a weekly RB3 in fantasy lineups.
The Fantasy Football Scout reports that since the game began in 2002-03, 52 players have reached 200 points in a season at least once. With the help of resident FPL expert Thomas Woods and extensive research, the focus is on identifying players to stash for your bench. Draft Sharks notes that even if a player plays in the opener, they might be a risky fantasy start until they prove the toe isn't an issue. The Cowboys' ranking first in Fantasy Environment Score boosts the upside for players like Williams, while Brooks figures to get some passing-down snaps but isn't an exciting fantasy option.
In the Fantasy Footballers Podcast, it was noted that the Cowboys rank first in Fantasy Environment Score, which boosts the upside for players like Williams. Additionally, something closer to 50% of carries for a player could make them a weekly RB3 in fantasy lineups.
