Circa Survivor Report: Week 2
Circa Survivor Report: Week 2 The parity in the NFL is wreaking havoc with Circa’s Survivor $1,000 entry fee Contest. For the second consecutive week, the BIGGEST betting favorite on the board was the MOST SELECTED team in the contest. Consequently, for the second straight week, that team was upset. 2,304 entries (26.5%) picked Lamar Jackson and the Ravens to beat Las Vegas at home. However, the 8.5-point underdog Raiders pulled off the biggest upset of Week 2 after earning the stunning 26-23 victory. #CircaSurvivor 2024 🏈🏆 Week 2 Selections 📄 Complete selections: https://t.co/csTKGuYaGd pic.twitter.com/uJfOyvrNTv — Circa Sports (@CircaSports) September 15, 2024 The record-breaking $14,266,000 million prize pool, despite not needing to cover any point spread, is proving impossible for even the best bettors to navigate. UPSET ALERT 🚨 Raiders (+350 ML) shock the Ravens in Week 2 ✅ pic.twitter.com/6e7dBjmR7r — DraftKings Sportsbook (@DKSportsbook) September 15, 2024 In addition to the Ravens, the Lions were the next biggest knock-out blow to contestants as they took out another 859 entries (9.9%) after being upset by Tampa Bay. A total of 4,775 (55%) of the 8,675 remaining entries were eliminated in Week 2. Think the NFL is easy to predict? The Week 2 massacre concluded on Monday Night Football when the Falcons stunned the Eagles, 22-21, knocking out 785 (9%) of the entrants. In just two weeks of NFL games, 10,321 of the starting 14,266 entries have already been eliminated! This is historically shocking. After Week 2’s bloodbath, the highest percentage of entries have now been eliminated through Week 2. In 2022: 67.2% were eliminated after the first two weeks, but this year has topped them all taking out 72.8% of the contest after just 32 games. If you own one of the remaining 3,878 entries heading into Week 3 consider yourself fortunate. The sweat is already on heading to Week 3 as the entrants battle for the biggest Survivor prize in history.

Week 2 NFL Player Props: CeeDee Lamb, Brian Robinson Lead The Way!
Week 2 NFL Player Props Week 1 is in the books and if you read this column, you had a very profitable week! Last week, our picks absolutely crushed with a 6-1 record! And with multiple units on Brian Robinson Jr., we are up 4.85 Units to begin the 2023 NFL season. Let’s see if we can keep the momentum going with our Week 2 NFL Player Props. Remember to always odds shop at your different sportsbooks to find the best value for these props. With that in mind, let’s get down to business and find the best Week 2 NFL Player Props! Joe Burrow OVER 231.5 Passing Yards (-110) It appears everyone is jumping off the Joey B train and even with Tee Higgins looking questionable to suit up, I still think Burrow is poised for a bounceback effort against Cincinnati’s rivals, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. In Week 1, Burrow struggled against the New England Patriots, completing a solid 21 of 29 passes but for a measly 164 passing yards and 0 touchdowns. That didn’t cut it against New England and that definitely won’t cut it against the defending champs. With another week of practice with Ja’Marr Chase after his “hold in” and more reps with rookie Andreis Iosivas and Jermaine Burton, expect Burrow to get back on track and show us a different Bengals team in Week 2. Including the postseason, Joey B is 3-1 against the Chiefs over his career. And in his two regular season games against Kansas City, Burrow is averaging a whopping 366 passing yards per game with a monumental 78.6 completion percentage and a perfect six-touchdown-to-zero-interception ratio. If there was any matchup I thought would help Burrow get out of his rut, it’s this one against a team that seems to bring out the best in him. Look for the Burrow-Chase connection to be very strong in Week 2. Perhaps something similar to the Lamar Jackson-Isaiah Likely connection the Chiefs struggled to contain in their season-opening victory. This line is simply way too low so smash the over with multiple units. Brian Robinson Jr. OVER 51.5 Rushing Yards (-115) I’ve been very high on B-Rob the past year and he cashed in last week in Washington’s debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although he was mostly bottled up, he still surpassed his rushing yards line and managed to punch in a touchdown. This week, the young stud faces a New York Giants run defense that was dominated by Minnesota’s Aaron Jones in Week 1 to the tune of 94 yards on just 14 carries. In three of four games against the Giants in his career, Robinson has eclipsed this line, averaging 14.5 carries for 70.3 rushing yards per game. New York surrendered the fourth-most rushing yards in the NFL last season and Week 1 did not indicate that they made enough improvements in that aspect of the game to change that trend based on Aaron Jones’ success running in the trenches. Whether or not the Commanders jump out to a big lead or not (though I think they will), game flow should favor Robinson. The Commanders will continue to rely heavily on the rushing game even after Jayden Daniels’ impressive debut. Robinson should continue to see a big workload despite Austin Ekeler’s presence and Daniels’ propensity to run. B-Rob will continue to be a Giants killer. Smash the Over. Jonathan Taylor Anytime Touchdown (+115) A running back who dominated 100% of the team’s carries in Week 1 at even money or better? That’s a jackpot, especially on a squad projected to score 21.5 points. JT was the undisputed workhorse in Week 1, handling all 16 running back carries, turning them into 48 yards, and punching in a touchdown from the 5-yard line. Sure, Anthony Richardson may vulture some goal-line glory, but Shane Steichen knows he’s got to protect his rookie QB from unnecessary hits this season if the Colts have any shot at winning this competitive division, especially after seeing what happened to Tua Tagovailoa on Thursday Night Football. The stars are aligning for Taylor in this looming matchup against a Packers defense fresh off a trip to Brazil, where they got gashed for 144 rushing yards and surrendered two rushing scores. Whether this game turns into a nail-biter or the Packers’ Malik Willis stumbles and the Colts grab the lead, both scenarios scream: run the ball with Taylor! I’m expecting a ton of volume and a breakout performance from the former Wisconsin man in Week 2. And here’s the kicker—when guys like Saquon Barkley have odds as short as -210 for a TD, getting Taylor at +115 feels like highway robbery. If Taylor finds the end zone again this week, expect those odds to shrink fast. Get in while the getting’s good! Stefon Diggs UNDER 57.5 Receiving Yards (-110) After Diggs’ modest six-catch, 33-yard performance (though he did score two touchdowns), the sportsbooks are starting to adjust. But not quite enough! Diggs is still a crucial piece of the Texans’ offense. He’s great at working the short and intermediate routes, and he’s become their go-to guy near the goal line. He’s perfectly fine stacking up those short catches like coins in a piggy bank. However, his longest grab in Week 1 was just 10 yards. To put that in perspective, the Bears managed to keep Will Levis’ longest completion to 15 yards, and even Calvin Ridley— the Titans’ top receiver—was held to 50 yards. And Diggs simply isn’t the deep-ball threat that he was in Buffalo or Minnesota. But let’s be real, C.J. Stroud and the Texans’ offense are a much scarier beast, with two other top-notch receiving options and a strong run game to boot. If Diggs stays heavily involved, I’m expecting a similar performance as Week 1 in which he’ll manage to catch five or six balls for 40 or 50 yards. Keep an eye on those shorter routes and goal-line targets—he’ll be busy! Just not
Vegas Insider’s Top-3 Player Props
Vegas Insider’s Top-3 Player Props Last week, Matt Brandon’s Week 1 NFL Player Props went 6-1! For Week 2, our Vegas Insider @RespectedMoney presents his top-3 player props to target. With the opening week of the 2024 NFL season now in the books, let’s take a look at three “Respected Money” player proposition wagers for Week 2! RB Isiah Pacheco OVER 64.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Isiah Pacheco was a major factor in Kansas City’s season-opening win over Baltimore, setting the tone on the ground. The hard-nosed rusher, who finished Week 1 as the overall RB20 in PPR (15.8 points), appears ready to deliver on the expectation he will be a top RB1 in 2024. Pacheco will face a Bengals rush defense that heads into Arrowhead fresh off allowing 170 yards and a touchdown to the Patriots. Expect a heavy dose of Pacheco against a Cincinnati team he torched in Week 17 last season when he rushed for 130 yards and added seven catches for 35 yards and a touchdown WR Mike Evans ANYTIME TD (+130) Fans just watched the Rams light up the Lions’ pass defense, which yielded the most receptions (34) and the second-most passing yards (317) in Week 1, along with a touchdown. It will not get much easier for Detroit’s secondary, as Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers head to Ford Field. Evans, who finished as the overall WR6 (23.1 PPR points) in Week 1, continues to be one of the most underappreciated wideouts in fantasy football. This projects as a high-scoring affair between two teams that ranked in the top 10 in total yards of offense in Week 1. Last year in the NFC Divisional round of the Playoffs Evans grabbed eight of 12 targets for 147 yards and a TD. After scoring twice in Week 1, the dependable veteran has now scored in 12 of his last 18 regular season games. RB Joe Mixon OVER 66.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Mixon finished as the overall RB2 in PPR (26.8 points) after rushing for a league-high 159 yards and a touchdown in his Texans’ debut. Opposing defenses are not able to stack the box against Houston this season due to the club’s feared passing attack, and Mixon is the beneficiary. The Bears struggled to stop the run in Week 1, allowing 140 rushing yards (5.4 yards per rush) and a TD to the Titans. Mixon draws a Chicago defense that could struggle yet again and make him another week-winning player. ENTER OUR WEEK 2 DRAFT CONTEST!

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2
Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2 Week 1 had its share of unpredictable performances. Both good and bad. Now that we have a week’s worth of action to go by, here are the top Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 2 players to target and fade in the second week of the 2024 NFL season. Additionally, FullTime Fantasy has some of the top tools of the trade and accurate rankings. Quarterbacks Start ‘Em Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) at Minnesota Purdy’s fantasy performance in Week 1 was less than stellar, but there’s no need to panic. He faced a tough New York Jets defense, completing 19 of 29 passes for 231 yards and no touchdowns, resulting in 10.3 fantasy points. However, he earned the second-highest quarterback grade of the week and led the 49ers to victory. His outlook improves in Week 2, as he transitions from facing one of the best defenses in the Jets to the more manageable Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings impressed last week, but this matchup will present a new challenge for their defense. Purdy has historically thrived against zone defenses, earning an 85.7 grade versus zone compared to 68.5 against man coverage. Under Brian Flores, Minnesota has tended to lean heavily on zone coverage. You can confidently start Purdy Week 2 Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) at Detroit Mayfield’s transformation since his Week 6 debacle against Detroit last year has been remarkable. In Week 1, he exploded for 37.7 fantasy points against Washington, continuing a streak where he’s posted at least 20.3 points in seven of his last eight games, including playoff action. The Lions limited Matthew Stafford to 16.7 fantasy points last week, but Mayfield has momentum as he enters Week 2. The game’s expected total is 51.5 points, the highest of the week, making it likely that Mayfield will contribute to a high-scoring affair. Sit ‘Em Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) at Houston Williams’s NFL debut was rough, completing less than half his passes for 93 yards and adding only 15 rushing yards, totaling just seven fantasy points. While Anthony Richardson had a strong fantasy day against Houston, it’s important to remember that the Texans generated pressure at a high rate. This makes it hard to trust Williams, especially with injuries to key receivers. Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals) at Kansas City Burrow’s 8.1 fantasy points in Week 1 ranked 29th among quarterbacks, with no touchdowns and only 5.7 yards per attempt. He faces a tough matchup against Kansas City’s defense, which ranks as the sixth hardest for quarterbacks according to PFF. Burrow’s dealing with a wrist injury, and Tee Higgins’s status remains uncertain, making it difficult to rely on Burrow in Week 2. Running Backs Start ‘Em J.K. Dobbins (Los Angeles Chargers) at Carolina I was drafting a ton of Dobbins during the pre-season and I am so happy it paid off. Dobbins played on 59% of the snaps, turning 10 carries into 135 yards and a touchdown. His explosive runs, while chased down, are even more impressive given that this was his first game back since tearing his Achilles. Dobbins led Chargers’ backs in routes run and targets, showing his versatility. With a favorable matchup against the Panthers, who gave up 180 rushing yards last week, Dobbins is a must-start in all formats. Jerome Ford (Cleveland Browns) at Jacksonville Ford played a career-high 57 snaps in Week 1, accounting for 75% of the Browns’ offensive plays. Heading into Week 2, he faces a Jacksonville defense that surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs in Week 1 and was one of the 12 worst teams in points allowed to the position last season. Ford’s usage and favorable matchup make him a strong fantasy option this week. Sit ‘Em D’Andre Swift (Chicago Bears) at Houston Swift’s Week 1 was a disaster, managing just 30 yards on 10 carries, with half of those attempts going for minimal gains. His lack of involvement in the passing game is concerning, and a matchup against the Texans, who just held Jonathan Taylor in check, doesn’t inspire confidence. Swift is a low-end flex option at best. Javonte Williams (Denver Broncos) vs. Pittsburgh Williams was on the field for 52% of the snaps in Week 1. But he only saw eight carries and two targets. Meanwhile, Jaleel McLaughlin had more opportunities. With the Broncos’ offense struggling under rookie QB Bo Nix, it’s hard to trust Williams, especially against a tough Pittsburgh defense. Wide Receivers Start ‘Em Jameson Williams (Detroit Lions) vs. Tampa Bay Williams exceeded expectations in Week 1, hauling in five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. His offseason improvements have paid off, and he looks poised for a breakout in his third year. With Tampa Bay’s secondary banged up, Williams should stay hot and is a solid WR2 in fantasy this week. Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders) vs. New York Giants McLaurin has been reliable against the Giants, scoring at least 13.0 PPR points in eight of his last nine meetings against Big Blue. While he had a quiet Week 1, recording just two catches for 17 yards in Jayden Daniels‘s debut, Week 2 should see better chemistry between the two. The Giants allowed big performances from Justin Jefferson and others last week. This bodes well for McLaurin to bounce back. Sit ‘Em George Pickens (Pittsburgh Steelers) at Denver Pickens delivered with six catches for 85 yards last week. But he faces a tough test against Denver and star cornerback Pat Surtain II in Week 2. Surtain shadowed DK Metcalf last week, holding him to just 29 yards. With Pittsburgh likely shifting focus to the run, Pickens is best left on the bench this week. Calvin Ridley (Tennessee Titans) vs. New York Jets Ridley had a mediocre Week 1, managing just three catches for 50 yards on seven targets. The matchup against the Jets and their elite corner Sauce Gardner doesn’t bode well for Ridley’s fantasy prospects in Week 2. He’s a

After a sluggish Week 1, this week’s AFC East showdown has some potential. The Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are loaded with fantasy football talent. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 2 looks at all the fantasy-relevant players to forecast the game.
Miami predictable moved the ball at will against Jacksonville. However, the Dolphins were held to 20 points. Now, there are health concerns and a formidable opponent to deal with on short rest.
Meanwhile, the Bills overcame a two-score early deficit to beat the Cardinals at home. Only six teams allowed more yards per carry in Week 1 than the Bills. That’s potentially troublesome against a Miami offense that leads the league in passing and has an imposing backfield. However, the Dolphins are short-handed with Raheem Mostert.
This game opened with Buffalo being half-point road favorites. However, the line has flipped. Miami is now favored by two. The total also dipped from 51.5 to 49 points.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Buffalo Bills | 12 | 9 | 14 | 8 | 4 |

Injury Report: Week 2
Injury Report: Week 2 Week 1 was full of highs and lows- mostly lows. Scoring was down and key injuries played a factor. Some of those will carry over into Week 2. Our Injury Report: Week 2 breaks down all the key fantasy-relevant injuries to monitor. Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers – Minutes before Monday Night Football word broke that McCaffrey would be inactive. Shortly after, a report indicated that McCaffrey could also miss Week 2. McCaffrey is dealing with a calf and Achilles issue that prevented him from practicing all summer. Reportedly, he had a setback ahead of Week 1. Subsequently, this is terrible news for fantasy managers who had the 1.01. However, Jordan Mason managers can rejoice. “it was always bothering him to some degree. Sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back. & today it was bothering him a little too much to where we didn’t feel good about it.” That doesn’t sound great for Christian McCaffrey. This may linger well into the season.. pic.twitter.com/FGv36BSY6k — Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT (@jmthrivept) September 10, 2024 Puka Nacua (WR) Los Angeles Rams – Another devastating blow for an early 2024 fantasy target, Nacau aggravated the knee injury that hobbled him throughout the preseason. Unfortunately, Nacua has been placed on IR. That means he is destined to miss four-plus games. Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Tyler Johnson will see increased target shares. Jordan Love (QB) Green Bay Packers – Love was hurt in the waning moments of Green Bay’s Week 1 defeat. He hurt his MCL and is expected to miss 2-4 weeks. However, the good news is the Packers did not place Love on IR, so there is some optimism that he’ll return sooner than later. The absence of Love leaves Green Bay’s offense in Malik Willis’s hands. That’s a massive downgrade. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Achane is dealing with an ankle injury. This injury isn’t considered serious. However, the Dolphins play on Thursday this week, which complicates Achane’s practice availability. We will update Discord when there is clarity. Raheem Mostert (RB) Miami Dolphins – Mostert is OUT with a chest injury. David Njoku (TE) Cleveland Browns – A high-ankle sprain is expected to hobble Njoku for multiple weeks. Jordan Akins will fill in for the Browns and is worth a modest waiver wire bid for desperate fantasy managers. Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Higgins missed Cincinnati’s opener with a hamstring injury. Adam Schefter already opined that he expects Downs to miss Week 2. We’ve lowered Higgins in our Week 2 projections. Rome Oduze (WR) Chicago Bears – Chicago’s rookie wideout is dealing with an MCL injury. Expect him to be sidelined for a week or two. UPDATE: He did not practice Wednesday. Bears WR Rome Odunze week-to-week with MCL sprain https://t.co/0QjpRNnmUa pic.twitter.com/PdrJz3GxL9 — Bears Wire (@TheBearsWire) September 10, 2024 Jake Ferguson (TE) Dallas Cowboys – Ferguson is dealing with a bone bruise and MCL ailment. The team said there is a chance Ferguson won’t miss any time. However, if he suits up, we imagine that Ferguson would be deployed in a decoy role. Luke Schoonmaker is the TE2 in Dallas. Russell Wilson (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Justin Fields did enough to garner another start. Meanwhile, Wilson is dealing with a calf injury. Our money is on Fields to retain the job. For now, at least. Jordan Addison (WR) Minnesota Vikings – Addison injured his other ankle in the opener. It isn’t a serious injury, but his status will need to be monitored ahead of this week’s game against San Francisco. Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – Downs missed Indy’s opener with an ankle injury. We will update his practice participation throughout the week and update the FullTime Fantasy Discord channel. Jauan Jennings (WR) San Francisco 49ers – Jennings is day-to-day with an ankle injury. Audric Estime (RB) Denver Broncos – Placed on IR with an ankle injury. Will miss at least four weeks. Dalton Schultz (TE) Houston Texans – Did not practice Wednesday with an ankle injury. ENTER OUR WEEK 2 DRAFT CONTEST! How it Works: Firstly, draft your team using our On-Demand Simulator.

The 2024 opener had its share of disappointing performances and injuries. There were also a few unheralded players that piqued our interest. However, it was nothing like last season when Week 1 produced a pair of league winners.
Therefore, there’s no need to panic or blow your entire FAAB budget chasing last week’s production. But that doesn’t mean there’s not some solid option on the Waiver Wire: Week 2.
Here are the low-rostered players you should consider adding ahead of the season’s second week.
JK Dobbins (RB) Los Angeles Chargers – Dobbins is most likely rostered in your league. However, if he’s available, consider a very healthy FAAB bid. Dobbins ranked second in the NFL with 135 rushing yards on just 1o totes. He also secured all three of his targets. It’s early, but Dobbins looks like the main back in a run-first offense. That makes him a priority in the few leagues he somehow went undrafted.
Isaiah Likely (TE) Baltimore Ravens – If you follow @ScottFantasy or our 2024 projections, you already roster Likely. I admit, I was skeptical that the Ravens would run enough 12 sets to get Likely and Mark Andrews involved. Lesson learned. Likey performed huge on the grand stage. However, I don’t expect him to repeat those gaudy stats. Regardless, Likely should be considered one of the top adds for this week.
Justin Fields (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers were unable to get into the end zone but they still pulled out a victory in Atlanta. Fields was fine. He accumulated a 91.9 QB Rating, rushed for 57 yards, and avoided turnovers. There’s a very good chance that Mike Tolmin will stick with Fields as his starter. He offers more upside than Russell Wilson. That gives Fields solid streaming value in Superflex leagues.
Keon Coleman (WR) Buffalo Bills – Coleman had trouble gaining separation all summer, which made him a volatile…

FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 2
Week Two, of the 2023 Fulltime Fantasy Football season, is now complete. Changes were plentiful, and drastic, across our four tournaments. Here is a look at the Top 20 Leaderboards. The FFWC High-Stakes Recap: Week 2 catches you up on the leaderboards after a wild second week. FFWC XI World Championship Tournament In the race to the $150K Grand Prize, the FFWC XI World Championship Top 20 Overall Leaderboard is populated by 14 new teams this week. We have a new overall leader as Team Just(in) Time (WC 4 SLOW) jumped from eighth to first place overall. Led by WR Keenan Allen (31.1), and WR Mike Evans (29.1), Simeon Yarbrough and Brian Marzorini had six of their 11 players post at least 20.7 Points. Their 199.85 points was good for the tenth-highest Week 2 total. Team Meyer (WC 9/9 1 PM) moved from fifth to second overall. William Meyer was led by rising star WR Nacua Puka (30.1), unheralded RB Brian Robinson (28.9), and WR Justin Jefferson (26.9). Team Meyer received double-digit scoring from all of the players in his starting lineup. Making a big jump, from 96th to third place overall, Cocktails and Dreams IV (WC 8/13 7 PM) piled up 219.85 points. With the massive total, Chad Schroeder now owns the current single-week high score. Another big mover, Team Gipson posted 207.10 points and jumped from 61st to fourth overall. Danny Gibson’s Week 2 lineup was led by QB Kirk Cousins (34.20), plus WR Keenan Allen and RB Brian Robinson. Danny has a 59.90-point lead in his WC 9/9 10 PM ET league. Rounding out the Top Five, Chad added a second team to the Top 20 Leaderboard. Cocktails and Dreams XIII (WC 8/23 10 PM ET) racked up 191.65 points. That squad was led by QB Daniel Jones (34.05), and WR Mike Evans (29.10), plus RB Christian McCaffrey (22.5), and WR Deebo Samuel (22.10). After no one reached the level last week, nine teams cracked the 200-point barrier during Week 2 action. That includes Danny Gipson, who had two of the top-five scoring squads (213.25 and 207.10) last week. Our “Shout Out of the Week” goes to Mike Foresta who posted 213.50 points and moved his The Deal No Deal Team I from 504th to 48th overall. That’s proof that every week is a new beginning in Fantasy Football. Circa Las Vegas Fantasy Championship Our inaugural Circa LVFC Tournament is a very close race after Week 2. Heading into Week 3 action, the Top 5 teams are separated by just 6.00 points. We had a lot of changes, as there are 17 new teams on the Top 20 Leaderboard. Week 2 was the Michael Schlissberg Show as he now has FIVE teams in the Top 13 overall. Mike’s Spartan Nation 2 squad (Circa LVFC 8/5 11:45 PM ET) posted 174.05 points and jumped from fourth to first overall. The best was yet to come though, as his No Yellow Stickers 1 (Circa LVFC 7/12 10 PM ET) team posted a LVFC season-high 230.90 points. That squad moved from 350th to second place. Mike followed that with a 210.30 total from his Mr. Yellow Stickers 1 (Circa LVFC 6/8 10:30 PM ET) team. That’s three different teams; all drafted in a different month, that own the Top 3 positions on the Circa LVFC Leaderboard. Team Taylor enters the Top 5 as Charlie’s Circa LVFC 6/16 10:30 PM ET squad posted 193.85 points. That moved Charlie from 46th to fourth overall. Charlie took advantage of early drafting as his team was selected during the seventh online draft this season. Rounding out the Top 5, MANKIND NATION moved from seventh to fifth place. Duke Viveros’ Circa LVFC 8/15 11:45 PM ET team posted 173.05 points. With a 180.73 two-week average, Duke sits just 6.00 points out of first overall. After just one team cracked the 200-point barrier in Week 1, 17 squads topped that plateau during Week 2. Through two weeks, 253 of our 1056 LVFC teams sit with a 2-0-0 record. There are 20 different leagues represented on the Circa LVFC Top 20 Leaderboard. Our “Shout Out of the Week” goes to Team Everything Must Go. Matthew Lyons Circa LVFC 8/4 11:45 PM ET squad racked up 227.90 points. That was the second-highest Week 2 total. Mathew moved from 825th to 25th overall. Yet another example of “it ain’t over – ‘til it’s over”. Keep Battling Everyone! Dynasty World Championship Tournament Continuing the week-over-week leaderboard shifts, across our four tournaments, there are 14 new teams on the DFWC Top 20 Leaderboard. That includes three of the Top 5 Week 1 leaders slipping out of the Top 20. Racking up the fifth-highest Week 2 DFWC total, Team Mr. Two Thirty 33 is our new DFWC overall leader. Steve Moreau’s DFWC 33 Squad posted 209.40 points and now has a 31.65-point lead. With an impressive 203.65 two-week average – Steve moved from third to first place. Moving up 24 positions, Team Ehuds Sword (DFWC 47) jumped from 26th to second overall. Brian Willey’s squad moved to 2-0-0 after posting 198.25 points in Week 2. Larry Celeste made a big move as well, as his Hangry Fatkidz squad (DFWC 63) racked up 205.30 points. That was the tenth-highest Week 2 total and moved Larry from 42nd to third place overall. Fourth and fifth place overall are now owned by Biplab Mandal. His DFWC 38 squad racked up 203.45 points and jumped from 38th to fourth place. Biplab’s DFWC 4 team posted 180.45 points and moved from 16th to fifth overall. After just two Owners had multiple Top 20 teams last week, five moved in following Week 2 action. Three leagues have two teams on the Top 20 Leaderboard. Week 1 saw just one team crack the 200 barrier, but that changed as 15 squads posted at least 200.10 points during Week 2 action. Our “Shout Out of the Week” goes to Kyle Knapp who posted a new 2023 DFWC season-high 226.00

Justin Herbert OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-160)
Last Sunday, despite putting up 34 points, Herbert only managed to throw a single touchdown pass in the Chargers’ high-scoring loss to the Miami Dolphins. However, that was largely due to the fact that Miami struggled to contain the run as Austin Ekeler and Joshua Kelley combined for over 200 yards on the ground.
This week, the Chargers will employ a much different game plan against a Tennessee Titans defense that ranked first in rushing yards and yards per carry but ranked last in the NFL in passing yards allowed. That trend appears to be continuing in 2023 as the Titans didn’t do much to stop Derek Carr and the New Orleans Saints’ passing attack in Week 1. Jamaal Williams only tallied 45 rushing yards but Carr threw the ball for 300+ yards.
With all of his weapons healthy in Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Quentin Johnston, Gerald Everett, and perhaps the best pass-catching running back in the NFL outside of Christian McCaffrey in Ekeler, expect Herbert to let it fly in Week 2 after a disappointing loss in the season opener. Herbert will find a way to get the ball in the end zone at least twice…

Fantasy Football Sleepers: Week 2
Fantasy Football Sleepers: Week 2 After reinforcing your roster via the waiver wire and knowing who to start and sit, the next best way to increase your odds at a Week 2 victory is to know which players to target. Our Fantasy Football Sleepers: Week 2 is here to do just that. Plus, we’ve added some daily pricing info to appeal to also appeal to the DFS crowd. All Prices listed are at DraftKings for Week 2. Quarterbacks Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) $5200 Mayfield won over his teammates in Week 1 with his ability to read defenses and recognize signals. The Bears’ defense played uninspired in their home opener and I don’t see a defensive revival in Tampa. The loyal Bucs fans will be behind Mayfield and he’s always fueled by emotions. Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) $5700 Many drafters ignored Purdy and he had an impressive Week 1 performance. The 49ers will push the ball more downfield this year and WR Brandon Aiyuk is coming into his own. I like the fast play at Sofi in this matchup and expect plenty of points. Running Backs Joshua Kelley (Los Angeles Charger) $5000 Austin Ekeler isn’t playing on Sunday. That means Joshua Kelley will get plenty of opportunities after an impressive showing in Week 1. Kelly has always had the talent and new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will utilize his strengths. Also, this game has a ton of shootout potential. Kelley offers a very high floor for his cost. Isiah Pacheco (Kansas City Chiefs) $5700 I anticipate a high-scoring game in Jacksonville and could see Pacheco with a ton of touches. Pacheco just missed a rushing TD in Week 1 and I believe he will make up for that this week facing a vulnerable Jacksonville Jaguars defense. I’m buying Pacheco while his stock is low. Wide Receivers Trey Palmer (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) $3700 This is a gut feel call but I envision Palmer making an impact in the home opener for the Bucs. There were whispers during camp that Baker Mayfield was vibing with Palmer. The Chicago secondary was getting torched against the Packers. I expect that trend to continue in Week 2. Zay Jones (Jacksonville Jaguars) $4700 Zay Jones had an excellent camp and was oftentimes Trevor Lawrence’s most favorable target in the red zone. Jones is familiar with the playbook and Jacksonville’s play calling does an excellent job of integrating Jones into the mix as the third wideout. Also, Jones’s 62 Week 1 snaps were five more than Calvin Ridley played. Tight Ends Logan Thomas (Washington Commanders) $3100 Thomas has always been an impactful fantasy TE when healthy and that was evident against the Cardinals when Thomas led the Commanders with eight targets. With Denver’s impressive pass rush, Thomas may get many looks in what should be a gritty matchup versus the Broncos. Thomas’s 81.7% snap rate from Week 1 indicated he’ll be more involved in Week 2. Zach Ertz (Arizona Cardinals) $3500 With Josh Dobbs behind center and new to the system. Ertz serves as a nice safety valve in the matchup vs. the Giants. Ertz Week one 20.8% target rate was number one amongst all tight ends last week. Lastly, If you have time to prepare, make sure you mock in our Mock Draft World Championships.
