Receivers like DeAndre Hopkins, Amari Cooper and Marvin Harrison Jr. didn't endure themselves to Fantasy owners last week, which likely nicked them in the Week 2 Fantasy football WR rankings. However, that doesn't mean you should drop them from your Week 2 Fantasy football lineups since players are allowed an off game or two. At the same time, those who outperformed their Fantasy football projections in the season-opener such as Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin can't be expected to reproduce their stats in Week 2.
Harrison had just one catch for four yards in his pro debut, and you can expect Kyler Murray and the Cardinals to make adjustments to get their prized rookie more involved. Before you lock in your Fantasy football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 2 Fantasy football position rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
The same model has a proven track record providing Fantasy football tips, including being ahead of the curve on players like A.J. Brown, Jonathan Taylor, Derrick Henry, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Jahmyr Gibbs. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.
Now, SportsLine has simulated the entire Week 2 NFL schedule 10,000 times and released its latest Week 2 Fantasy football rankings for Sunday and Monday.Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 2 Fantasy football QB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 2 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles: Under new OC Kellen Moore, Philly fans still got the old Jalen Hurts, which is a good thing, in Week 1. He had 278 passing yards, two passing TDs, and 33 yards on the ground. He should be even more productive on the ground in Week 2 as he faces an Atlanta defense which gave up 57 rushing yards to Justin Fields a week ago.
2. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs: Over his career in Weeks 1-2, Mahomes has a sterling 41 total TDs versus just five turnovers. The big play is also back in Kansas City's offense after it had receiver struggles last year as in Week 1 Mahomes averaged 10.4 yards per attempt, which was his highest in any game since Week 7 of 2022.
3: Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson's 122 rushing yards in Week 1 were his third-most ever, while he also had 41 passing attempts, his fifth-most in an NFL game. That type of volume via his arm and legs gives him lots of avenues to rack up Fantasy points, especially against a Raiders defense that allowed 176 rushing yards in Week 1.See more top QBs here.
Top Week 2 Fantasy football RB rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 2 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: Barkley became the first player to record three touchdowns in a debut with the Eagles since wide receiver Terrell Owens accomplished the feat in 2004. He finished last week's game with 24 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns, while also recording two receptions for 23 yards and another score.
2. J.K. Dobbins, Los Angeles Chargers: Dobbins has dealt with numerous injuries in his career, but he was extremely effective in his debut with the Chargers last Sunday. Dobbins made the most of his 10 carries, finishing with 135 yards and a touchdown. He averaged 13.5 yards per carry and now he'll take on a Carolina Panthers defense that gave up 47 points in Week 1.
3. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson was heavily involved in Atlanta's offensive game plan last week. He dominated the touches in the backfield, accounting for 18 of Atlanta's 21 carries by running backs. He also led the team in receptions, securing five receptions on five targets for 43 yards.See more top RBs here.
Top Week 2 Fantasy football WR rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 2 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Lamb was sensational for the Cowboys last season, finishing with 1,749 receiving yards and 14 total touchdowns. He was targeted 10 times in last week's win over the Browns and he's expected to be heavily involved again on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
2. Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams: Kupp looked sharp in the Week 1 loss to the Lions, recording 14 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted a whopping 21 times and he's expected to see a lot of targets again on Sunday with fellow wideout Puka Nacua sidelined with a knee injury.
3. A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles: Brown is part of a loaded Eagles offense that can strike at any time. His speed and elusiveness were on full display last week when he ripped off a 67-yard touchdown catch against Green Bay. A home meeting against the Falcons is on deck for Brown, who finished with five receptions for 119 yards and a score last week.See more top WRs here.
Top Week 2 Fantasy football TE rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top Week 2 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: Kelce was quiet in Kansas City's win over the Ravens, catching three of four targets for 34 yards. Kelce should have a more robust role this week against the Bengals, who are coming off a surprising loss to the New England Patriots.
2. Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens: Likely was one of the biggest breakouts in Week 1, catching nine of 12 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown. Likely was inches away from hauling in a second touchdown reception and the model likes his chances of having another strong showing on Sunday against the Raiders.
3. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers: Kittle finished as San Francisco's third leading receiver on a night where the 49ers only had 19 completions. Kittle is coming off his third campaign recording at least 65 receptions, 1,000 receiving yards and five touchdowns, so he'll remain a consistent factor in San Francisco's aerial attack moving forward.

Top Week 2 Fantasy football defense rankings
Here's a look at SportsLine's top three Week 2 Fantasy football D/ST picks:
1. Jets D/ST: The Jets didn't give up a single passing touchdown in their season-opening loss to the 49ers, and now they'll take on the Tennessee Titans, an offense that gave up three sacks and two interceptions last week.
2. Texans D/ST: The Texans will take on the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. Chicago's offense didn't generate a single point in its Week 1 victory over the Titans and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams finished with 93 passing yards in his NFL debut.
3. Chargers D/ST: The Chargers are set to play the Carolina Panthers in Week 2. The Panthers scored only 10 points in the opener as quarterback Bryce Young threw for just 161 yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions. See more top D/ST here.
