Carson Wentz emerges as Week 2 fantasy quarterback option after Kyler Murray injury

Carson Wentz, listed on just 4% of Yahoo fantasy rosters, is being highlighted as a potential Week 2 pickup after his bench-coming performance in Week 1 helped Chicago rally past Green Bay with three touchdowns and a 123.5 passer rating. The Bears face a defensive matchup that appears favorable, and with Kyler Murray ruled out due to a concussion, Wentz gains additional appeal for daily fantasy and Superflex lineups.

Running back Tyler Allgeier, who logged 19 touches in Chicago’s win over the Chargers, is noted for a likely 50-50 split with rookie Jeremiyah Love, though the Seahawks’ defense could limit his production. Jets running back Chris Brooks, rostered by only 4% of leagues, is mentioned for his pass-protection role and potential to contribute against a Packers run game that struggled in Week 1.

Wide receiver Devaughn Vele, owned by 45% of leagues, posted nine targets and a 7-69-1 line in his debut for Baltimore, and analysts expect continued volume as the Ravens pursue a high-scoring game against New Orleans. Rookie Caleb Douglas, with a 5-94-0 performance for Miami, is also cited as a possible late-week option if the game extends into garbage time.

Veteran receiver Demarcus Robinson, rostered by 3% of leagues, recorded a modest 2-50-1 line against the Rams and could see an expanded role after a teammate was placed on injured reserve.

Tight end Pat Freiermuth, owned by 11% of leagues, rounds out the list of under-the-radar players suggested for Week 2 fantasy lineups.
