The fantasy calls of Week 2, 2026
By Sparks · Week 2, 2026
Josh Allen leads our QBs at 20.7; Jahmyr Gibbs leads our RBs at 20.7; Amon-Ra St. Brown leads our WRs at 16.5; Trey McBride leads our TEs at 11.3. Half-PPR, all of it on the open board. What follows is the reasoning at each position: who the model has ahead, by how much, and where the gap is thin enough that we would rather call it a coin flip than invent a conviction.
Quarterbacks (QB): Josh Allen first
Josh Allen edges Brock Purdy by 1.6: a lean, not a landslide, and the ranges overlap plenty.
- Our projection has Josh Allen at 20.7 half-PPR points against the Lions in Week 2, 2026, our QB1.
- Brock Purdy is our QB2 at 19.1 against the Dolphins.
- Caleb Williams is our QB3 at 17.6 against the Vikings.
Running Backs (RB): Jahmyr Gibbs first
Jahmyr Gibbs is the clearest call we have at the position. Our numbers put him 2.5 ahead of Bijan Robinson, and a gap that size rarely closes on matchup alone.
- Our projection has Jahmyr Gibbs at 20.7 half-PPR points at the Bills in Week 2, 2026, our RB1.
- Bijan Robinson is our RB2 at 18.2 against the Panthers.
- Derrick Henry is our RB3 at 18.0 against the Saints.
Wide Receivers (WR): Amon-Ra St. Brown first
2.1 separates Amon-Ra St. Brown from Puka Nacua in our projections. At this scoring range that is a genuine gap rather than rounding.
- Our projection has Amon-Ra St. Brown at 16.5 half-PPR points at the Bills in Week 2, 2026, our WR1.
- Puka Nacua is our WR2 at 14.4 against the Giants.
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba is our WR3 at 13.5 at the Cardinals.
Tight Ends (TE): Trey McBride first
The top of the position is not close this week: Trey McBride clears George Kittle by 2.0 in our numbers, which is a real gap at this scoring range.
- Our projection has Trey McBride at 11.3 half-PPR points against the Seahawks in Week 2, 2026, our TE1.
- George Kittle is our TE2 at 9.3 against the Dolphins.
- Sam LaPorta is our TE3 at 8.8 at the Bills.
