Every week, you can go to this column to see what players we recommend for your Fantasy Football teams to improve each position.
In the blink of an eye, we were gone week 1 of the 2025 season of the NFL. In terms of fantasy, there were many surprises with very important players who did not generate their usual production quota, either due to injury or simple lack of activity (an apology to the owners of Xavier Worthy y A.J. Brown).
Every week, you can go to this column to see what players we recommend for your Fantasy Football teams to improve each position. All players will have an availability of more than 50 percent in our ESPN leagues, with a justification of why it is a good option for your team. Week by week (although not consecutively) some repeated players may appear, but the priority will always be to include new.
Who of these players will take you to victory in week 2? Good luck to all!
QB: Aaron RodgersPitsburgh Steelers (Available in 91.1% ESPN leagues)
Is Aaron Rodgers to launch again for four touchdowns before Seattle? Probably not. Is it viable that you have a season like your last MVP in 2021? Neither. But Rodgers demonstrated what he can do behind a much more reliable offensive line after a year to forget in all aspects with the jets.
At home this week against Seahawks, Rodgers will trust his old friend again: the Playaction pass to get yards and create danger. Although only 14.3 points are projected in week 2, the bet is that it exceeds that and becomes much more quoted prior to week 3.
Other reliable options: Trevor LawrenceJAX (61%); Michael Penix Jr., ATL (79.9%).
RB: Dylan SampsonCleveland Browns (67.2%)
Sampson's in week 1 was expected: he would take the place of Jerome Ford As the main corridor of the Browns, what was not expected was the success it would have in its debut within the NFL. The former player of the Tennessee volunteers at the university level had 17.3 points against the Bengals, who do suffer with the defensive in general, but especially by land.
Even so, it is rare to meet a starter RB at the Waiver Wire of not being for injury issues, and Sampson will surely fly from this week. Even if you have good runners, it is highly recommended to go for it since it protects against an inevitable injury, or serves as an exchange candidate. Before a Baltimore that allowed more than 40 points in its debut match, Sampson projects 11.8 points in week 2.
Other reliable options: Kenneth GainwellPIT (98%), Tyler Allegier, ATL (61.5%)
WR: Kayshon BoutteNew England Patriots (99.4%)
When it comes to young QBS as Drake Mayeit is very important to pay attention to players are given the confidence to go again and again to achieve results. Patriots have a Stefon Diggs that has been recovering from a serious injury Hunter Henry Like the most colorful receptors, but Boutte received eight targets against the Raiders, catching six of them for more than 100 yards.
Before Miami, a team that defensively was the absolutely worse in the first week of the season, the Patriots will have the opportunity to recover from the defeat and will surely do it with boutte as an important part of the air game. Project 9.6 points for week 2, a quite attractive floor for those who need help in the position.
Other reliable options: Cedric TillmanCLE (57.4%), Wan’Dale Robinson, NYG (68.7%)
The: Juwan JohnsonNew Orleans Saints (98.7%)
Much eye with Johnson, who had his best season in 2024 with 50 receptions, although the Saints had problems with their QBS between the injury that ended Derek Carr's career, and the inconsistency of Spencer Rattlerwho now serves as the permanent holder. In the debut against Los Cardinals, Johnson was the leader at the team's receptions, adding eight with 76 yards. They sought eleven times during the match.
Before the 49ers, a team that is certainly reinforced on defensive with the return of the coordinator Robert Saleh, there will be so many avenues for Johnson, but the possibility of being a reliable player in a position that is usually very complicated if it does not touch one of the 5-10 best in the draft.
Other reliable options: Harold Fannin Jr., CLE (99.1%), Jake TongesSF (100%)
FLEX: Tre TuckerLas Vegas Raiders (99.1%)
Although Tucker only caught two passes for a total of 54 yards, his production was driven by a touchdown, to add 13.4 points at the end of week 1. What most intrigued about Tucker is the fact that he participated in 57 of 63 plays for Las Vegas, and before the injury of Brock Bowersit is possible that Tucker receives more attention from Geno Smith In a hard division game of week 2 against the Chargers.
Other reliable options: WR JuJu Smith-SchusterKC (99%), Hunter Hunry, Ne (56.5%), RB Kendre MillerNO (93%)
K: Spencer ShraderIndianapolis Colts (98.5%)
In his period as a substitute for Harrison Butker In Kansas City, Shrader shone for its effectiveness, which gave him the opportunity to reach Indianapolis and win the starting position prior to 2025. In week 1, he was the leader at points of the position, with four field goals and three extra points. Before Denver, a very hard defense, may have more opportunities for field goals than to extra points.
Other reliable options: Joey SlyeTen (99.6%); Fairbairn, new (60.1%)
DEF: San Francisco 49ers (80.9%)
We mentioned it previously: the 49ers improved in defense starting from Robert Saleh's return as the team coordinator this summer. Before the Seahawks, they forced two loose balls, one capture and allowed only 13 points to the division rival. This week they go against the Saints, a team that has one of the worst QBs of the League and, out of Alvin's chamber y Chris Olavean offensive cast quite skinny.
Other reliable options: Chicago (85.6%), Los Angeles Rams (92.6%)
