The NFL is back and with week 1 now in the books, everyone is either 1-0 or 0-1 - and moving to 2-0 or 0-2 would significantly boost or damage playoff aspirations. 

The most shocking result of this first week of NFL action was the Arizona Cardinals taking down the Los Angeles Chargers. That result surely ruined some Survivor Pool leagues. As for the best performance, it’s hard to look past Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who threw for 334 yards, threw two touchdowns, and rushed for two more touchdowns in a 36-31 win over the Houston Texans. 

For this week, though, you can get in on the action at Sleeper and snag up to $100 in rewards by simply following our link and using our Sleeper bonus code ‘TALKSPORT’. It’s a 100% match on your first deposit up to $100 in site credit.

🏈 Teams and players to pick for Week 2

Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens)

Jackson torched the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1, completing 68% of his passes for 324 yards, one touchdown, and ran seven times for 40 yards and a touchdown.

Now he gets a Saints defense that allowed 31 points to the Lions and 165 rushing yards. 

This defense will struggle to contend with Jackson’s dual-threat ability. 

Matthew Golden (Green Bay Packers)

Golden drew a 30% target share in Week 1’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings, catching six passes on 12 targets for 95 yards. 

The Jets held down the Titans offense last week, but that’s more a product of Cam Ward and the Titans’ offense than what I expect from the Jets. 

Of course, the Packers were playing from behind, but Golden is a former first-round pick, and he should keep seeing targets with Romeo Doubs gone and Tucker Kraft (albeit playing) still getting back to 100% from his torn ACL last season. 

Philadelphia Eagles DST

The Eagles are on the road, but they’re taking on a Titans team that looked lifeless in Week 1. The Eagles held Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels to 18 of 34 passing and just 164 yards. 

Titans quarterback Cam Ward could be in for a tough outing. The Eagles had 12 pressures last week.
