NFL Week 2 Recap – Fantasy Waiver Adds

John Anders

69-58-5 on the NFL last season (2018/19) up 26.36 units

10-14 on the NFL this season down 5.04 units 

Trevor Siemian getting hurt last night hurt my over on his completions bet pretty bad. Odell was saying Gregg Williams tells his players to play dirty… maybe Myles still has his former coach’s coaching in his head.. Siemian had 3 completions and Falk had 20. The over under for Siemian was 19.5. It would have hit and I would be up units on the season. I am still salty haha

Top Waiver Wire Adds:

Cowboys D, Jaylen Samuels, Mecole Hardman, Demarcus Robinson, Josh Allen, Raheem Mosart, Daniel Jones, Ty Montgomery, Deebo Samuel, and James Washington in that order.

I like Terry McLaurin, Chris Thompson, and Rashaad Penny better than all the guys above.. but they are most likely rostered if your league is good. I would not spend a lot of your FAAB budget this week. Seems like a down week for the waiver wire compared to last week..

Panthers: 

Buccaneers: 

Bucs won 20-14. Cam has thrown the highest percentage of uncatchable passes through two weeks. Also, he didn’t sneak it on 4th and 1 with the game on the line. He is clearly hurt and was seen leaving the Charlotte airport in a walking boot to see a specialist on Tuesday. McCaffrey could have cut in and maybe got the first down/touchdown to beat the Buccaneers, but Norv Turner made a terrible play call. Norv ran the ball up the middle on 2nd and 24, but called passing plays and trick plays on multiple 4th and 1s. What the hell? Norv Turner needs to be fired for his playcalling. At least leave Cam under center so the defense has to respect his sneak.. Chris Godwin looked like a beast. I thought Donte Jackson could cover him. I was wrong. Peyton Barber looked solid. Christian McCaffrey will get his, but the Buccaneers defense played hard. Winston missed some throws, but still looked a lot better than week 1.

Saints:

Rams:

Rams won 27-9. Drew Brees hurt his thumb when his hand collided with Aaron Donald’s. Donald clearly has stronger hands. Brees is out 6 weeks. The Saints get screwed by the refs again. In the ref’s defense it did look like Goff had the ball in real time because the way it fumbled right in front of his arm. When Goff’s arm went forward.. so did the ball. Cam Jordan recovered it for a TD, but since it was ruled incomplete on the field, no touchdown. Teddy Bridgewater could not take New Orleans down the field on that drive or any other drives really. If Sean Payton loves Hill so much, why didn’t he get more snaps at QB? Cooper Kupp looks amazing. Brandin Cooks is great at catching deep balls. Todd Gurley found the endzone. Michael Thomas got a lot of targets from Bridgewater. The NFC South is wide fucking open. Might be a 9-7 division champ..

 

Chargers:

Lions:

Ty Long made 1 of 3 field goals and the Chargers lost 13-10. Austin Ekeler is the top scoring RB in fantasy. Chargers finally lost a game that Melvin Gordon didn’t play in. Jackson looked solid too for LAC. Kenny Golladay went up and mossed some guys in this game. He is looking like a stud. TJ Hockenson came back to Earth, but played a higher % of snaps than in week 1, when he went off. Taylor Decker, Detroit’s LT, was out this game, so Hockenson stayed in to block more. Big Cock Hock should run more routes once Decker comes back. Keenan Allen did well playing against Slay. Chargers turned it over in the redzone twice, had two Tds called back, and missed two field goals. Bad Beat if you bet on them.

Titans:

Colts:

I bet on the Titans and they lost 19-17 to the Colts. Titans had 5 almost sacks by my count. Jacoby is slippery. On the other hand, Mariota kept taking sacks like he was paid to do it. TY Hilton is still a great wideout and Jacoby looks his way a lot. Eric Ebron just keeps scoring Tds. In his final season at UNC, Ebron had 980 total yards and only 3 touchdowns. His role has changed in the NFL. Doyle seems like the possession TE for the Colts. Indy needed this win as they face the Chiefs and Falcons coming up. Titans still have a great defense and o-line. Mariota and the defense just didn’t make the big plays when needed.

 

Cowboys: 

Redskins:

Cowboys got the big plays and beat the Redskins 31-21. I know I am getting old cause I remember when Kellen Moore was the QB of Boise State. Moore was the first FBS Qb to win 50 games. Now Kellen is calling great plays and spreading the field for Dak and the Cowboys as their OC. Dak owes Kellen a small part of his big upcoming contract. The Redskins looked fine. Terry McLaurin looks to be a stud. Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson are what they are. Jordan Reed should come back soon and then get hurt again prolly. Gallup is going to be out a few weeks with a knee, but shouldn’t matter too much as the Cowboys are 21 point favorites against the Dolphins this week. Dak’s interception came on a tip from Cobb, but it wasn’t the best throw. Moore and the Dallas offense did a solid job of adjusting and taken advantage of what Washington was giving them. I’m not completely sure if the Dallas defense is good yet after playing Eli and Keenum…

 

Giants:

Bills:

Bills win 28-14. Eli has been benched for Daniel Jones. I don’t know why the Giants went away from Saquon on the second drive of the game, but they did. Barkley had 80% of the touches on the first drive and they scored a TD. It isn’t rocket science. Eli threw the ball 45 times and 7 were to Saquon. Eli throwing the ball 38 times to Engram, TJ Jones, Bennie Fowler, and Latimer is not going to win you games in 2019. The Giants defense got Eli the ball on the Bills side of the field towards the end of the first half.. and Eli throws a pick… Engram seemed like the only pass-catching option this week for the G-men. Fowler and Latimer were fine. Daniel Jones better be good, because the Giants don’t have a pass rush and they passed on some good pass rushers in the draft for Jones. Singletary and John Brown are going to be good all season. Josh Allen can run well. The Bills defense is solid. Buffalo are 1 of 9 undefeated teams. They are fighting for a wildcard.

 

Steelers:

Seahawks:

Seahawks win 28-26. Big Ben is out for the season. Vance McDonald and JuJu still got a lot of looks once Mason Rudolph came in. The Steelers didn’t trade their first round pick for Minkah Fitzpatrick to tank this season. They still believe and show should you… for now. Penny should get more looks as Carson has had 3 fumbles in two games. Carson still had the 4th and 1 run to seal the game though. Seattle needed this win because the Rams and 9ers keep winning. DK Metcalf is a freak. Will Dissly kept getting open up the middle. Seahawks o-line could be better.

 

Packers:

Vikings:

Packers win 21-16. Adams and Allison kept getting open it seemed. Kirk Cousins threw a fadeaway off the back foot lob pass interception in the redzone to end the game. You can’t throw that ball. Dalvin Cook is crazy fast and it is good to seem him healthy. Aaron Jones looked great. The Vikings have everything they need for a Super Bowl…. but they have a shitty QB that they are paying an insane amount a year. Sucks for Diggs and Thielen, but Kirk isn’t good. Diggs had a TD called back for offensive PI after a challenge.

 

Bears: 

Broncos:

Bears make a long field goal and win 16-14. Emmanuel Sanders is amazing, his TD catch near the end of the 4th was great. Bradley Chubb had a bullshit roughing the passer by falling on him call, that led to the long Mitch throw that put Chicago in field goal range. I am not mad at the Chubb penalty because I had Bears moneyline. Flacco looked good at the end of the game. Bears should stop giving Mike Davis the ball. Cohen and Montgomery are enough. Freeman looked good catching the ball for Denver.

Bengals: 

49ers:

49ers win 41-17. San Fran are 1 of 9 undefeated teams. Bengals can’t tackle. Like actually they can’t tackle. John Ross is the best fantasy wideout so far. Tyler Boyd looked dominant at times. Goodwin is fast. Samuel is strong. Kittle wasn’t needed. Bengals o-line is bad and their defense can’t tackle. Hard to judge the 49ers too much after playing the Bucs and Bengals in weeks 1 and 2.

 

Cardinals:

Ravens:

Ravens won 23-17. Lamar Jackson is the first Qb ever with over 270 passing yards and 120 rushing yards in a regular season game. Kyler looked good, but couldn’t put his team in the endzone. That was the difference in the game. Lamar could get the touchdowns. Larry Fitzgerald and Tom Brady are freaks for balling out as old as they are. Mark Andrews has great hands and footwork. He is the #1 TE in fantasy after 2 weeks. Hollywood Brown seems like a stud. Baltimore’s defense contained the run, but got torched in the air. David Johnson hurt his wrist but came back in the game..

Chiefs:

Raiders: 

Chiefs won 28-10. Chiefs were down 10-0 at the end of the 1st. It was the first time Mahomes did not score in the 1st quarter in a game he started in. He scored on the first play of the 2nd quarter. Mahomes put up more fantasy points in the 2nd quarter than Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Jameis Winston, Cam Newton, and Mitch Trubisky have put up this season. Hardman, Watkins, and Robinson should all be solid until Hill comes back. Kelce is Kelce. Gareon Conley kept getting beat for Oakland. Josh Jacobs is proving why he was the first RB taking, but fantasy owners prolly want some more catches from him. Darren Waller, Renfrow, and Tyrell seem to be the only players Carr looks at consistently. McCoy and Williams got hurt in this game, but should both play next week. Will the Chiefs get Jalen Ramsey? They may need him to beat the Patriots.

 

Texans:

Jaguars:

Jaguars go for 2 and Fournette gets stuffed in the 13-12 loss to the Texans. Houston loses in week 1 by 1 and wins in week 2 by 1. Dj Chark is the 5th best fantasy WR through two weeks. LSU knows how to produce NFL wideouts it seems. Fuller dropped a long TD pass. Ramsey looked great against Hopkins. Carlos Hyde is still running hard. Tunsil should be fine. Watson will have better games, but still got a nice rushing TD. I love Minshew, but why Marrone decided to run the ball when Moustache Minshew took them all the way down the field is beyond me. Give it your hot Qb on the final play. Fournette should have reached the ball out, but Justin Reid proved how strong he is by not letting him in the endzone. Why does the NFL not have the same technology soccer has for when a ball crosses the line? It is 2019..

 

Patriots:

Dolphins:

Patriots beat the Dolphins 430-0. Tom Brady threw to AB in the redzone a lot. Dolphins are ass.

Eagles:

Falcons: 

Falcons beat the Eagles 24-20. Julio Jones is a beast. There is a reason he is the highest paid wideout. I bet way too much on Ito Smith over 24 yards, so thank God he had his nice cutback run. Matt Ryan seemed to overthrow people. The NFC South has the worse Qbs going into week 3 of any division weirdly enough.

 

Jets:

Browns:

Browns win 23-3. The Jets didn’t use their timeouts at the end of the game to give Falk reps… either knee it and don’t risk injury or use your timeouts. Baker still didn’t look that good, but Odell taking an 89 yard touchdown to the house helps. Myles Garrett had 3 sacks and even more penalties. He injured Siemian on a roughing the passer. Jarvis Landry and Njoku should play better once Baker does. Bell is still a stud. Mosley and Quinnen Williams were missed for the Jets defense. Robbie Anderson is talented, but he needs a QB that can throw a deep ball. Chubb is great, but Baker and the Browns o-line needs to play better. Lot of penalties in this game. Browns alternate line at -9.5 was real nice.
