Fantasy Football Week 2 Matchups to Exploit: Need TE help? Consider Colby Parkinson

Best Week 2 RB Matchups

Jerome Ford vs. Jaguars

Ford was the Browns clear workhorse back in Week 1. He played 73% of the snaps and handled 86% of the team’s carries. It was an elite role for Ford, and it translated to a strong fantasy day. Ford produced 15.9 points across his 18 opportunities. It’s also worth noting he saw an impressive seven targets in this game.

Ford was able to do this despite not having his two starting tackles, Jedrick Willis and Jack Conklin. There’s a chance they return in Week 2 against the Jaguars and PFF ranks Jacksonville as a bottom-10 run defense after one week. The Jaguars allowed 145 total yards to the Dolphins RBs in Week 1. Expect another large role for Ford this week.

Tony Pollard vs. Jets

Pollard’s role was a surprise in Week 1. He played 62% of the Titans snaps, but more importantly he earned 70% of the team’s rush attempts. This was surprisingly because the Titans coaches had been adamant that this backfield would be a 50/50 split between Pollard and Tyjae Spears. However, after one week, this is clearly Pollard’s backfield.

Heading into Week 2, Pollard gets a solid matchup against the Jets who still don’t have Hassan Reddick due to his holdout. They sorely missed Reddick in Week 1 as the 49ers ran for 181 yards and Jordan Mason produced 147 yards and a score on his own. This a matchup Pollard can take advantage of in Week 2.

Best WR Matchups

Demarcus Robinson vs. Cardinals

Puka Nacua will miss at least four games on injured reserve with a knee injury. This opens the door for Demarcus Robinson to see a larger role in the Ram’s offense. Over his final five games in 2023, Robinson was a top-12 fantasy receiver, and even more impressive — he did this was with both Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua active.

In Week 1 Robinson played 92% of the snaps and earned a solid seven targets….
