Fantasy Football managers are often willing to give players a second chance even after they disappointed them in Week 1. We had plenty of Week 1 Fantasy disappointments last weekend, and more individual Week 2 disappoints this Sunday, but it's the players who let managers down in consecutive weeks that have some people pushing the panic button on the panic meter. Do you sell low when your player puts up consecutive duds in the scoring column?
Is it even selling low if that player's outlook has changed so much that the forward-looking expectation should be adjusted? These are the burning questions Fantasy managers are asking themselves as they get ready to turn the page on Week 2 while looking ahead to Week 3 and the rest of their Fantasy football seasons. Before you panic and trade your third or fourth-round draft pick for Tre Tucker or similar waiver wire fodder -- and hey that's not to say Tucker can't fill in as a Flex -- let's break down their situations and determine whether or not that's the right call.
We'll also look at some of the biggest performances in Week 2, injuries that can impact your Fantasy season moving forward and players who should be on your waiver wire radar as you head into Week 3. Last week, my panic meter on Loveland would've been in the single digits. This week, the biggest change is that Bears quarterback Caleb Williams left Week 2 with a non-contact hamstring injury.
We won't know the extent of Williams' injury until later this week, but Loveland's ceiling and floor take a massive tumble if Tyler Bagent steps in to start. Loveland's role has not been as expansive as managers hoped after he caught fire in the Fantasy playoffs last season. The Bears have used three different tight ends at times while also making in plenty of 11 personnel to start the season.
While explosive in bunches, the Bears' passing game hasn't caught a rhythm quite yet, and the seemingly unstoppable rapport Williams and Loveland showed toward the end of last season hasn't shown up yet in 2026. What is wrong with the Chargers' offense, and why does it look so broken? Last week, I defended Los Angeles' offense on Beyond the Boxscore, and advanced charting showed that Herbert was among the five most accurate quarterbacks in Week 1 in terms of ball placement.
There's no way that charting holds up through his Week 2 performance. Herbert missed throws late, high and wide. His rapport is lacking with Quentin Johnston and he certainly isn't benefiting from Johnston looking more like his rookie self with concentration drops becoming an issue.
