Fantasy Football: Week Two Free Agent Frenzy

[JetNation]

Hello All,

I hope everyone had a good first week but if you did not , no worries, a season is not made in one week unless you are the Rams. I look at my three big money leagues which are 10-12 teams and see who is out there to get a overall feel. It is not a great week for pick ups but there are a few interesting names. If you like weekly leagues, be sure to check out the JetNation league on FanDuel. Now, let’s get to the list;

QB

• Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan: He had a top three week and has a great match up in the Oakland Raiders.
• Oakland Raiders QB David Carr: The Atlanta Falcons defense did not look great, I expect a shootout in week two.
• Detroit Lions QB Matt Stafford: Since Jim Bob Cooter took over he has been a top 5 fantasy QB.

RB

• Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick: He is out there is many standard leagues and looks to have a 50/50 split with Ameer Abdullah in a pass happy offense.
• Washington Redskins RB Chris Thompson: Matt Jones did not look good, I can see him getting more reps.

WR

• Houston Texans WR Will Fuller: He will drop the ball but is a big play talent and seemed to have great chemistry with Brock Osweiler.
• Baltimore Ravens WR Mike Wallace: Back from the dead because of the big arm of Joe Flacco, they may be a nice connection moving forward.
• New York Giants WR Victor Cruz: Who does not like to salsa dance? The passing offense will get better.

TE

• Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron: The talent is there and now Matt Stafford is looking for him in the red zone.

Defense

• Baltimore Ravens: They looked like their old selves but did play the awful Buffalo Bills and now get the shaky Cleveland Browns but I did like this more before Josh McNown became the QB.

Thank you for reading!

I wouldn't touch Matt Ryan this week.  I could see why you would be inclined to go with him this week ,after Drew Bree's ripped the Raiders defense apart. ( this is why you don't make haste decisions off of one game in fantasy football. 

Big difference this week is the Raiders are playing at home ( defense going to be looking to atone themselves for last week performance- home crowd looking for blood  ) , and there defense isn't as bad as they showed in week one.  ( expect a totally diffrent looking defense this week)  

Also while Julio Jones is better Wr than Brandon Cooks  , this is a much better matchup for CB  Sean  Smith 6'3 215 - 220 . 

Watch the Raiders pass rush this week.  Tough for Matt Ryan to put up numbers on his back.
