Do you need a fantasy football QB for Week 2? Here are three options to stream this week, including Geno Smith!
As we enter the second week of the NFL season, you may have drafted with the strategy of fantasy football streamers at the QB position. Hell, we had a Quarterback by Committee finder in our award-winning draft kit! So, if you didn’t get an elite option to lock in for Week 2, you may be looking to stream your QB in order to get a win in the second week.
Using information that we learned last season, we can get an idea of which quarterbacks owned in under 60% of leagues have the best matchups to be included among our Week 2 QB fantasy football streamers! When you’re done, check out our Week 2 fantasy football rankings!
Week 2 Fantasy Football QB Streaming Options
Geno Smith vs Los Angeles Chargers (10.1% Owned)
Geno Smith continues to perform as a top-15 fantasy football QB, but he continues to be slept on. Owned in 10% of leagues, Smith finished Week 1 with 362 passing yards in a strong offensive showing from the Raiders. On top of those 362 passing yards, Smith also threw a touchdown pass. It is obvious that eyes are going to be on Ashton Jeanty, meaning that Smith should be able to work the middle of the field with Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer. In a divisional showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers, Smith should be in for another big day, especially after Patrick Mahomes dropped 258 yards and a touchdown on them last week with a banged-up receiving corps.
Joe Flacco at Baltimore Ravens (2.4% Owned)
While Joe Flacco is certainly not the flashiest quarterback free agent available, there are certainly opportunities for Flacco to put together a good week here for several reasons. The first reason is that Flacco performed fine last week against the Bengals. He threw for 290 yards and a touchdown. Another reason is that the Browns have a matchup against the Ravens this week. The Ravens likely blow the Browns out in this game, so Flacco and the Browns will probably be passing for the majority of the game. The last reason is that Josh Allen put together a great week against the Ravens last week, passing for 394 yards and two touchdowns.
After that collapse by Baltimore, it could be tough for them to respond in Week 2. Joe Flacco may have the opportunity to make a bit of noise in a revenge game.
More Fantasy Football Streamers Week 2
Aaron Rodgers vs. Seattle Seahawks (15.7% Owned)
Last week, it looked like Aaron Rodgers was back in his MVP form. He completed 22-of-30 passes for 244 yards and a league-leading four touchdowns. In the game against a solid Jets defense, Rodgers averaged 8.1 yards per attempt. What works in the Steelers’ favor is their lack of a dominant run game. Using players like DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin, who excel after the catch, Rodgers just needs to get the ball out quickly, as opposed to relying on placing the ball in tight windows, which he can still do.
With solid weapons around him, Rodgers should continue to see a high floor all season long. If you’re in a deep league, he is a very interesting low-owned fantasy football QB option to stream this week.
