Just when we thought things couldn’t get wackier than 2015’s opening games, Week 2 came along and upped the ante. From terrible performances from fantasy studs, career-best days from unheralded reserves, and more devastating injuries, Week 2 made for quite a memorable slate.
If you’re one of the many people hit hard by by these first two unpredictable weeks, the good news is that it’s still early and there’s plenty of time to right the ship. Or maybe you’ve been some sort of savant and are enjoying a fantastic start to this irregular season.
Either way, staying proactive on the waiver wire is a good way to improve your chances of a win next week and for the remainder of the season. Here are some players that should be on the radar for fantasy owners heading into Week 3.
Quarterbacks
Andy Dalton, Bengals (ESPN 21% owned; 10% FAAB) – Two games into the season, Andy Dalton should arguably be starting in every fantasy league. Dalton has a superior offensive line, excellent offensive weaponry, and boasts a 5-0 touchdown-to-interception ratio, en route to being PFF’s No. 6 ranked signal-caller. For Week 3, the numbers should continue to shine as Dalton and the Bengals travel to Baltimore to face a Ravens secondary that has struggled for a while, including getting carved up by the Raiders in Week 2 to the tune of 351 yards and three touchdowns.
