Fantasy Football Game Plan — DFS Week 2 Breakdown (Stacks, Leverage & Value Plays)

Week 1 reminded us why NFL DFS is pure chaos—lightning delays, chalk face-plants, and that “safe” Burrow/Chase stack totaled just 13.4. In this episode, we separate signal from noise, speed-review Week 1, and then go game-by-game to find the best Week 2 stacks, leverage angles, cheap punts, and defenses you can actually play.

We also debut our sortable charts & heat maps (targets, air yards, usage). Link below—tell us what you want added next! Check them out here https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/216ec587-a769-4744-8e03-2b64d2994fe7

TE: Tyler Warren, Dallas Goedert at his tag, Harold Fannin punt

DST: 49ers, Rams, Colts (cheap)

Game-by-Game Breakdown (Main Slate)

JAX @ CIN: Slate’s top shootout; Burrow + Chase (+Higgins) chalk; Etienne bell-cow; Brenton Strange punt; Chase Brown viable but price-sensitive.

CHI @ DET: Caleb Williams value with legs; Gibbs bounce-back ceiling; monitor DJ Moore (ribs) → Olamide Zaccheaus salary saver; mostly one-offs.

BUF @ NYJ: Allen overpriced for likely positive script; monitor James Cook (hamstring) → Ray Davis/Ty Johnson split risk; Jets side: Fields cheap rushing floor, Garrett Wilson volume.

PHI @ KC: Weather risk + Worthy (shoulder) → Hollywood Brown and Tyquan Thornton punts; Dallas Goedert volume at discount; light on Hurts/AJB.

CLE @ BAL: Ravens smash script; Lamar viable, Henry costly leverage; Zay Flowers YAC; rookie TE Harold Fannin is the dart (fade Njoku here).

CAR @ ARI: Trey Benson breakout juice; Kyler stacks thin—prefer one-off Marvin Harrison Jr. at depressed tag; McBride great but pricey.

NYG @ DAL: Dak fine; Lamb expensive vs. feisty NYG D; Cowboys DST in play; Giants offense = avoid outside cheap darts.

NE @ MIA: Sneaky stack: Drake Maye + Kayshon Boutte; Tyreek Hill low-owned leverage if shootout hits; monitor Pats usage at RB.

DEN @ IND: Colts DST top cheapie; fade RJ Harvey usage; Tyler Warren red-zone role; Troy Franklin flyer.

SF @ NO: Injuries push usage to CMC (workhorse) + 49ers DST spend-up; Ricky Pearsall salary relief; light on ancillary pieces.

LAR @ TEN: Rams DST vs. rookie mistakes; Kyren Williams TD path in low total; Titans pass-catchers thin.

SEA @ PIT: Jaylen Warren home-favorite RB; JSN target spike (cash-lean); Charbonnet > Walker for efficiency; expect slog.
