Week 2 Fantasy Football Player Rankings / Sports Illustrate
With one week of NFL action in the book, we have a better idea about player roles, depth-chart placement and in turn, projected future fantasy football value. For example, the trade that sent Tank Bigsby to the Eagles elevates Travis Etienne Jr., who played a featured role for the Jaguars in Week 1.
What's more, the loss of Xavier Worthy and George Kittle to injuries has elevated other players in the rankings, including Hollywood Brown and to a lesser degree, Jake Tonges. With that said, here are my fantasy player rankings for Week 2. Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
