Week 2 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Brady and the Bunch

Nathan Waddell
Jun 7, 2018

As we roll in to Week 2 of the fantasy football season, we must start looking for matchups to exploit.

The matchup that immediately stands out is Redskins QB Rex Grossman facing two young corner backs, and a Cardinals defense that is severely undermanned.ย 

If Grossman's body of work this season was larger than just one week, he would be worth including in the Top 5 for this game against Arizona.ย  But, as it stands, with just a one week sample size, Grossman is worth a start with a fairly high level of confidence.

So without further delay, here are your Week 2 fantasy football quarterback rankings.

RankPlayerย Opponentย Comments
1.Tom Bradyย v. SDAnother ho-hum outing for Brady in Week 1. Chance of another shootout is high in Week 2.
2.Michael Vick ย ย @ ATLA reunion in Atlanta against a soft secondary that was abused in Week 1 is just want Vick needs.
3.Aaron Rodgers ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย @ CAR

So many weapons, so little time. CAR can't stop this offense, just hope they keep it close.

4.Mathew Staffordvs. KCFirst time the home crowd will see the newย aerialย act, and KC's defense is imploding after the loss of S. Berry. ย 
5.Phillip Rivers@ NEPCan't expect SD to dominate, so they will either be trailing or trying to take the lead. ย Either way, the ball's in the air.ย 
6.ย Drew Breesv. CHIStill an elite QB, but a tougher matchup than those in the Top 5.
7.Ben Roethlisbergerv. SEABig Ben and company right the ship against a get-well opponent this week.
8.Tony Romo@ SFDefense looked stout last week, but Romo is at least a smidge better than Tarvaris Jackson.
9.Rex Grossmanv. ARIThe matchup is outstanding facing off against two first year CBs.
10.Ryan Fitzpatrickv. OAKYou can't expect a repeat of Week 1 (4 TDs), but the offense is clicking and Fitzpatrick is solid.
11.Josh Freeman@ MINThe early returns on the TB offense aren't encouraging, but Freeman has been steady.
12.Chad Hennev. HOUEven if Henne's production comes in garbage time, it still counts.ย 
13.Cam Newtonย v. GBNot as great of a matchup as Week 1, but Newton has more upside than most QBs on this list.ย 
14.Jay Cutler@ NOSย NO gave up points to GB in Week 1, butย Cutler is no Rodgers.ย 
15.Mattย Schuabย @ MIAย The matchup is good, but until we see him throw 30 times, hard to feel confident about production.
16.Matt Ryanย v. PHIย Falcons will have to throw, but the matchup is tough for Ryan.ย 
17.Kyle Ortonย @ CINย Should be a close game, so Orton shouldn't need to play catch up.ย 
18.Eli Manningย v. STLย Should have plenty of opportunities to make plays, but likely without top WR Nicks.ย 
19.Alex Smithย v. DALย DAL may be without threeย top CBs.ย  But Smith impossible to trust.ย 
20.Joe Flaccoย @ TENย Should be little needย for Flacco to throw, so upside very limited. ย 

Feel free to share any sit/start questions you might have in the comments, and we'll work through them and find an answer.

Running back and wide receiver rankings will be out later in the week, so check back.

Best of luck this week.ย  May your domination continue, or your comeback begin.
