WEEK 2 RB Opportunities
Week 2 RB YPC (After Contact) vs YPC (Before Contact)
Week 2 WR aDOT vs PPR Scoring
MNF FOOTBALL (2 GAMES!!!!)
The flow chart of Arizona not being able to cover the middle of the field, allowing Hunter Renfrow to go off Sunday, points to another situation Monday night. This one is trickier, but we’re getting very good juice on it. Tampa has, let’s call it “issues”, with covering RBs in the flats: Dare Ogunbowale +155. The closer it gets to kickoff, I can see that juice going up.
Here’s how it goes wrong: Ogunbowale usually only plays on clear passing downs, so, if the Texans end up leading the entire game and Houston doesn’t have a drive in the two-minute drill, he’s cooked. Or if they’ve decided Woody Marks is the new full pass-catching RB, we’re also cooked.
Like last week against the Rams, I think he gets there. May even split up the play and chuck some on the 3+/4+ for beaucoup bucks.
Now, if you don’t believe me (I get it), the Sharp Stack computer was printing in Week 2. Here’s the early look at where the value resides so far for the MNF doubleheader.

WEEK 2 GAME TIDBITS
JAX/CIN: Travis Hunter runs 27 routes just like he did last week (but played 39, not 6, defensive snaps), Jake Browning completed 10 of 11 targets when throwing to Ja'Marr Chase and 11 of 20 to anyone else
NYG/DAL: Russell Wilson sets a career high with 450 passing yards (Nabers and Robinson account for 309 of them), Dak Prescott completes 38 passes and feeds everyone (Lamb and Ferguson catch 9 balls apiece, Pickens and Turpin catch TD passes)
CHI/DET: Rome Odunze has at least a TD and 6 catches in both games (is he already the WR1 in this offense?), Jameson Williams was shut out in the first half but saw two targets in the first half of Q3 and turned them into 108 yards and a TD
LAR/TEN: Two Rams rush for a touchdown, Kyren Williams isn't one of them. Four Rams reach 15 receiving yards, Kyren Williams isn't one of them. No Titan sees more than six targets, but four saw at least five ... Cam Ward is an impressive QB, but not yet there for fantasy.
NE/MIA: TreVeyon Henderson has as many catches as carries through two weeks (eight), De'Von Achane is Christian McCaffrey, but on a bad team (TD catch in both games and just dominating the snaps)
SF/NO: The condensed 9ers are good for DFS (Jennings, Pearsall, and CMC were their top 3 players in receiving yards and targets, with two of them scoring), Rasheed Shaeed gets a short TD for the first time in his career (his first TD catch under 19 yards)
BUF/NYJ: James Cook dominates on the ground and has 40 touches through two weeks, while my Khalil Shakir love falls flat (not bad process-wise, Keon Coleman wasn't exactly good either) ... the other side of the Justin Fields coin is present: NYJ completes 10 passes
SEA/PIT: Kenneth Walker gets two fewer carries than Zach Charbonnet and outgains him by 95 yards (4 of his 13 attempts gained more than 10 yards) ... five Steelers catch 3-4 passes, but at least Rodgers was confident to throw a jump ball to Metcalf.
CLE/BAL: Flacco has 45 pass attempts in both games (first QB to open a season with two games like that since Matthew Stafford in 2018) ... Derrick Henry's stat line looks like he was easy to tackle, but 117% of his rush yards came after contact.
DEN/IND: We wanted the young kids to be a thing for Denver, but they aren't (RJ Harvey and Pat Bryant aren't near lineups right now, though Harvey I'd still hold as a bet against the health of JK Dobbins). The Colts are straightforward: JT and Tyler Warren are high-end producers at their respective positions, and everyone else is a "high, lucky, do you feel" situation. With the Titans and Rams up next, I don't think I'll be playing the other pieces in the short term.
CAR/ARI: Bryce Young nearly pulled this thing off. In a perfect world, more than 18.9% of his targets go to Tetairoa McMillan moving forward because I don't see many 55 attempt games coming. James Conner bails you out with a TD to offset underwhelming per-touch numbers, but he was out-targeted 6-1 by Trey Benson, and this thing could morph more into a committee than we want to admit.
PHI/KC: Jalen Hurts funnels two-thirds of his targets to his star receivers, but two-thirds of basically nothing is well ... not much. Tyquan Thornton gets home on a 49-yard TD after Mahomes missed him on a 75-yarder, so that's good. But Hollywood Brown was never going to see 16 targets again (17.2% target share in this one)
