Week 2 Fantasy Football Preview: Smash/Crash Spots, Rankings, Injuries, Start/Sit & More!
📋 Week 2 is here. We're breaking down fantasy football rankings, the smash spots and crash spots at every position, hitting the injuries that could wreck your lineup, and going rapid-fire on the start/sit calls you're still sweating. Kendall and Pete go through the top 12 quarterbacks, top 24 running backs, top 24 receivers and top 12 tight ends, then get into the spots that actually decide your week — Dak Prescott and Jayden Daniels in smash spots, Trevor Lawrence in a crash spot, Aaron Jones against the Bears, Bucky Irving, and a warning on Jeremiyah Love. At receiver it's Mike Evans and George Pickens in plus matchups with Carnell Tate on the other side, plus the Raiders tight end situation with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. Then the Week 2 injury report on Ladd McConkey, Joe Burrow, Zay Flowers, Ja'Kobi Lane and Nico Collins, a rapid-fire start/sit round on Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, Quinshon Judkins, Xavier Worthy, Stefon Diggs, Michael Wilson, DK Metcalf and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and they close by building a DFS lineup together for the week. 🔍 Topics in this video: fantasy football start or sit this week for week 2, fantasy football rankings, fantasy rankings changes, week 2 injury report, week 2 fantasy smash spots, week 2 fantasy crash spots, week 2 QB rankings, Week 2 RB rankings, Week 2 WR rankings, Week 2 TE rankings, Week 2 NFL DFS lineup building, Dak Prescott, Jayden Daniels, Trevor Lawrence, Aaron Jones, Bucky Irving, Jeremiyah Love, Mike Evans, George Pickens, Carnell Tate, Brock Bowers, Michael Mayer, Ladd McConkey, Joe Burrow, Zay Flowers, Nico Collins, Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, Quinshon Judkins, Xavier Worthy, Stefon Diggs, DK Metcalf, Jacory Croskey-Merritt Learn more about your ad choices.

Week 2 Fantasy Football Stock Up/Stock Down, Buy Low/Sell High Candidates, Dwain-Libs, & Moves to Make NOW
Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose stock actually moved after Week 1 — and more importantly, the specific utilization behind each move. Christian Watson climbs to a mid-range WR2 and Matthew Golden to a high-end WR3 in a Green Bay offense that suddenly looks settled. Ashton Jeanty is a high-end RB1. Parker Washington is a low-end WR2 on a route share that could still grow. And Dalton Kincaid moves into the TE7-to-TE9 range. Then the part your league isn't thinking about yet. Colston Loveland led every tight end in route participation at 89% and produced almost nothing — is that a buy? D'Andre Swift massively outperformed his usage — is that a sell, and what should you be asking for? And Rhamondre Stevenson, where the gap between role and result points somewhere specific. They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Christian Watson a WR1, what gets Parker Washington to a low-end WR1, what makes Isaiah Likely a mid-range TE1, and what rush share turns Jadarian Price into a mid-range RB2. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday. And they close with three adds to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Elijah Sarratt, Pete on Emmett Johnson, Kendall on Antonio Williams. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, stock up stock down, buy low sell high, route participation, utilization, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Ashton Jeanty, Parker Washington, Dalton Kincaid, Colston Loveland, D'Andre Swift, Rhamondre Stevenson, Isaiah Likely, Jadarian Price, Elijah Sarratt, Emmett Johnson, Antonio Williams, fantasy football trade targets, waiver wire, week 2 fantasy football Learn more about your ad choices.

Week 1 Overreactions: Celebrations & Panic, Week 2 Waivers, and Letters to Our Players
It's Monday after Week 1 of fantasy football. Somebody in your league is about to drop a player they drafted in the fourth round. Don't be that person.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet are kicking off "Overreaction Monday" on everything Week 1 threw at us! We're sorting the results that actually mean something from the ones that are going to look silly in three weeks.They start with the takes that feel true right now and probably aren't: the Bears as the highest-scoring offense of all time, the Bills looking like a Super Bowl lock after what they did to Houston, and the Chargers costing you more than just your survivor pool. Then the backfield questions — whether Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery can both finish as RB1s, whether Jonathon Brooks getting out-rushed by A.J. Dillon is a real problem, and what a Travis Etienne rotation means once Alvin Kamara is back.Then the part that hurts: Ja'Marr Chase, Drake London and DeVonta Smith all laid an egg, and the target and target-share numbers tell three completely different stories about why. Bench, cut, or fire into the sun? Plus the tight end debate Kendall has apparently been waiting all offseason to win.The back half is entirely actionable. Every waiver target worth a claim this week, position by position — Jalen Coker as the headline add, quarterback help in Tyler Shough and Carson Wentz, Kaelon Black at running back, a deep receiver group in Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Demarcus Robinson and DeVaughn Vele, and Michael Mayer at tight end.And then they write letters. It's Not Me, It's You — Pete to Zay Flowers and Ja'Kobi Lane, Kendall to Carson Wentz.🔍 Topics in this video:2026 fantasy football, week 1 recap, overreaction monday, waiver wire, Ja'Marr Chase, Drake London, DeVonta Smith, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Jonathon Brooks, Travis Etienne, Christian Watson, Isaiah Likely, Theo Johnson, Jalen Coker, Tyler Shough, Carson Wentz, Kaelon Black, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Demarcus Robinson, DeVaughn Vele, Michael Mayer, Zay Flowers, fantasy football waiver wire, week 2 fantasy football Learn more about your ad choices.

📋 Week 1 is here.

9 Players You Can Add of Waiver Wire Before Week 1 Starts + Pre-Week 1 Utilization Mad Libs
Right now, before a single snap has been played in Week 1, your fantasy football waiver wire is the most wide open it will be all season. Nobody has panicked yet. Nobody has dropped anybody. This is the window. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet each bring four moves to make before Week 1 kicks off — real adds and stashes on players who are still sitting on waivers in most leagues. Dwain goes to Terrance Ferguson, who could climb into top-12 tight end territory if he has a real role in Los Angeles, then Ja'Kobi Lane, and closes with a genuine sicko stash between Demond Claiborne and Kaytron Allen. Pete makes the case for a rookie receiver stash with Ted Hurst, Antonio Williams and Chris Bell, then Kaleb Johnson, then a Chargers tight end between Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar. Kendall goes rookie running back with Jonah Coleman and Nicholas Singleton, then Malik Davis, then Malachi Fields. Every add comes with Fantasy Life's Week 1 projections — targets, receptions, yards, and the bust, median and ceiling outcomes — so you know exactly what you're rostering and what the range looks like. Then the back half flips to Utilization Mad Libs: the players they still have real questions about, and precisely what usage would change their minds. If Dalton Kincaid runs 80% of routes, he moves into the top eight tight ends. If Makai Lemon runs 85%, he becomes a WR3 with upside. If Jordan Mason takes a 60% rush share, he's a low-end RB2. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday, and knowing them ahead of time is how you get to the wire before everyone else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our Final Fantasy Draft of 2026 (Drafting OUR GUYS Only!)
No ADP. No value charts. No talking themselves into anybody. Just doing a fantasy football draft where we get sixteen picks of players we actually want to root for in 2026 fantasy football. For the final draft of the 2026 preseason, Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet threw out the board and ran an Underdog best ball draft on one rule: only take guys you genuinely love. The result is a roster that would horrify a projections model and might just win the whole thing. It opens with Omarion Hampton and Saquon Barkley, then a receiver room built entirely on conviction — Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy and Tre Harris. Tyler Warren at tight end. Justin Herbert under center, with Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith stacked behind him. And a backfield of Rico Dowdle, Tyler Allgeier, Keaton Mitchell and Tank Bigsby that is either a masterclass in contingent value or a complete disaster, depending on how the season breaks. They explain every pick as they make it — why this player over the guy going ten spots later, where the ADP says they're reaching, and which of these they'd defend even if it costs them the week. If you've spent all August drafting scared, this is the palate cleanser. 🔍 Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, best ball, Underdog best ball, fantasy football draft, Omarion Hampton, Saquon Barkley, Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Tyler Warren, Justin Herbert, Rico Dowdle, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy, Tyler Allgeier, Keaton Mitchell, Tank Bigsby, Tre Harris, Aaron Rodgers, Geno Smith, fantasy football draft strategy, ADP, fantasy football sleepers ______________________ If you want more of Fantasy Life, check us out at FantasyLife.com, where all our analysis is free, smart, fun, and has won a bunch of awards.

Last-Minute Tight End Rankings for 2026 Fantasy Football (Top 24)
This is the last time these fantasy football tight end rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason tight end rankings and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees.Both tiers come with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve starts with the hardest question at the position: one tight end outscored the TE2 by 105 PPR points last season and is still ranked behind him.How confident should you actually be in that call? Then whether a rookie's late-season surge carries into a full year, whether elite target-earning can protect a tight end from bad quarterback play, and why a veteran making the trip to Australia for Week 1 might be the cleanest edge available in drafts this weekend.The TE2 range gets into two former top-12 tight ends with a real case to still be there, and closes with each of them naming a favorite late-round stab — which at this position, where the drop-off after the top few is brutal, is where most drafts actually get decided. Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, tight end rankings, TE rankings, fantasy football rankings, Brock Bowers, Trey McBride, Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, Tucker Kraft, Harold Fannin, Kyle Pitts, George Kittle, Sam LaPorta, Travis Kelce, Dalton Kincaid, Dallas Goedert, Isaiah Likely, Mark Andrews, Jake Ferguson, Juwan Johnson, Chig Okonkwo, Dalton Schultz, Terrance Ferguson, Hunter Henry, late round tight end, fantasy football draft strategy, who to draft in 2026 Learn more about your ad choices.

Last-Minute Quarterback Rankings for 2026 Fantasy Football (Top 24)
This is the last time these fantasy football quarterback rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason quarterback rankings and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees. Both tiers come with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve opens with the question that decides your whole draft approach at the position: do you spend a second or third-round pick on one of the two elite options, or do you wait entirely? Then a look at why a pure pocket passer is ranked ahead of quarterbacks with far more rushing upside.Then the strangest number on the board — a quarterback who was the QB1 in points per game from Week 5 on last season and still lands at QB9 in these rankings. And a head-to-head between two pocket passers going within a few picks of each other.The QB2 range gets into the two quarterbacks who have a real case for the top twelve and didn't make it, and closes with each of them naming a favorite late-round stab at the position — which, in a year where you can wait this long, is where most people should actually be shopping. Topics in this video: 2026 fantasy football, quarterback rankings, QB rankings, fantasy football rankings, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts, Caleb Williams, Justin Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, Dak Prescott, Brock Purdy, Jaxson Dart, Kyler Murray, Bo Nix, Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff, Jordan Love, Malik Willis, Baker Mayfield, late round quarterback, fantasy football draft strategy, who to draft in 2026 Learn more about your ad choices.
