Your Week 2 Waiver Wire Guide

Read this before you add anyone in fantasy football...

Hey!

Week 1 is over and a lot just happened. Before Week 2 begins, there are still valuable names sitting on waivers that could help you win this season.

Let’s break down some of the top adds on the waiver wire:

1. Quinshon Judkins: available in 50% of leagues

Judkins just signed his rookie contract and could be ready by Week 2. The Browns backfield averaged only 1.9 yards per carry in Week 1, so they need help.

There’s still a chance the NFL hands down a suspension, but once active, Judkins projects as the lead early-down back…

2. Marquise Brown: available in 75% of leagues

Brown led the entire NFL with 16 targets in Week 1 and was moved all over the field. With Xavier Worthy out and Rashee Rice suspended for 5 more games, Brown is a strong add this week.

He can be plugged into lineups right away as a high-volume option…

3. Trey Benson: available in 61% of leagues

He’s not as hyped as some of the top names this week, but Benson quietly saw a bigger role than expected in Week 1. He played 40% of the snaps, ripped off a 50-yard run, and led the backfield in yards on fewer carries than James Conner.

Most importantly, he worked as the primary 3rd-down back - something he didn’t do last year. No other RB even saw a snap behind Conner, which makes Benson one of the best handcuffs in the league with workhorse potential if Conner were to miss time.

These are 3 of the best waiver options to help you get ahead of your league in Week 2…
