Week 2 Quarterback Rankings Fantasy Football

Tier 2: Low-End QB1s

These guys are low-end QB1s, and I feel comfortable starting any of them as my QB1 this week:

• Fields showed why he is a great fantasy football quarterback, having tied for the second-highest score of the week. He had three total touchdowns in the Jets close loss to the Steelers. The Bills just allowed 40 points to the Ravens last week. Fire up Fields as a top-five fantasy quarterback.
• Herbert looked fantastic against the Chiefs in Brazil, throwing for over 300 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Fire him up as a QB1 against the Raiders this week. Herbert is an early-season MVP candidate.

Tier 3: High-End QB2s

This tier consists of the high-end QB2:

• Nix was not good in his Week 1 start. He had three turnovers and finished with just 6.8 fantasy points. He was still a top ten quarterback last season, so there are still high expectations for him. Week 1 was a concern, but I am not losing all hope on Nix yet. Don’t overreact to just one game.
• The Lions offense looked lost without Ben Johnson against the Packers. Now, the Lions get to face Johnson in Week 2. They still have plenty of skill players and just need time to adjust to the new coordinator.
• Purdy was announced as questionable on Monday with injuries.

Tier 4: Superflex Options Only

These players are options only in very deep leagues or SuperFlex leagues:

• Rodgers turned back the clock with a four-touchdown game and no turnovers. He was a top ten quarterback this week. He provides no rushing upside, so he will need to throw for multiple touchdowns a week to repeat as a top ten quarterback.
• Jones had one of the best performances in Week 1. The Colts scored on every one of their drives. Jones finished with 29.5 points, which was tied with Fields for the second-highest of the week. He has a much tougher matchup against the Broncos in Week 2.
