The NFL Regular Season got off to a great start with an exciting Week 1 of fantasy football, and whether it went your way or not, it’s time to turn the page and start getting ready for another huge slate of main DFS fantasy football contests in Week 2. The main slate on DraftKings includes the 12 games lined up for Sunday afternoon. Nine games kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET with three more games in the later wave, highlighted by a Super Bowl rematch. To help you as you get your lineup together, each week we’ll be running down the fantasy football rankings at each of the primary positions for the main slate.
Week 2 is where “one-week wonders” become “two-week trends.” so which breakouts are you buying or selling coming into the second week of the season?
These fantasy football rankings are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in building your final lineup. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.
To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 1 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
Be sure to set your lineup for all Week 2 contests, highlighted by the NFL $3.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
