Week 2 Waiver Wire


Quarterback Jamies Winston New Orleans Saints vs

Green Bay Packers

On Sunday Jamies Winston showed that the Saints may not miss Drew Brees as he had an excellent game. If Winston continues to play at or near how he played on Sunday he could lead you to a fantasy football championship. With Winston playing under Sean Payton means their will be plenty of opportunities to make explosive plays. Jamies Winston had 148 passing yards with 5 passing touchdowns versus the Green Bay Packers.That was 29.62 fantasy points and was the 3rd best fantasy QB finish this week. Jamies Winston is rostered in 34% of fantasy leagues.


Running Back Kenneth Gainwell Philadelphia Eagles @

Atlanta Falcons

Coming into the season it seemed like Boston Scott was the second Eagles RB to roster but it turns out that it really is Kenneth Gainwell. Gainwell was in the game on Sunday versus the Falcons on a fourth down play which means he has the trust of the Eagles coaching staff. Kenneth Gainwell had 32 rushing yards with 1 rushing touchdown and 2 receptions for 6 receiving yards versus the Atlanta Falcons. That was 12.30 fantasy points and was the 20th best fantasy RB finish this week. Kenneth Gainwell is rostered in 10.4% of fantasy leagues.


Wide Receiver Christian Kirk Arizona Cardinals @

Tennessee Titans

This season Christian Kirk finally may be able to break out due to the fact that the Cardinals did not bring back Larry Fitzgerald. With Fitzgerald no longer on the team Kirk should slide into the number two receiver role. When given the opportunity Kirk has played extremely well as evident in the contest Sunday versus the Titans. Christian Kirk had 5 receptions for 70 receiving yards with 2 receiving touchdowns versus the Tennessee Titans. That was 24 fantasy points and was the 9th best fantasy WR finish this week. Christian Kirk is rostered in 2.6% of fantasy leagues.


Tight End Juwan Johnson

New Orleans Saints vs

Green Bay Packers

Coming into the season everyone was talking about Adam Trautman as the Saints TE to have but maybe it really was Juwan Johnson who you want. Johnson is more athletic than Trautman as Johnson was converted from WR to TE. With Jamies Winston at QB that it good for Johnson as Winston likes to throw the ball to his TEs. On Sunday Johnson played 18% of the TE snaps for the entire game. Juwan Johnson had 3receptions for 21 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns vs the Green Bay Packers. That was 17.10 fantasy points and was the 4th best TE finish this week. Juwan Johnson is rostered in 0.3% of fantasy leagues.
