Week 2 is nearly in the books, and what a wild week it was! We had a quarterback throw for six touchdowns (and not score the most points in his own game), a running back rush for three touchdowns, and one of the league’s best young field generals go down to a serious ankle injury. We also saw a few big fantasy names fail to meet expectations, while two rookie wideouts went off in the stat sheets. Oh, and then there’s that suddenly confusing backfield situation in Los Angeles.
Those are among what I believe are the top 10 fantasy football story lines from this week that will affect your starting lineup decisions moving forward.
Tua Tagovailoa struts his stuff against the Ravens. I’ll definitely eat some crow on this one, as I didn’t love Tagovailoa. Man was I wrong. The game script forced the Dolphins to throw the ball 50 times in a game Miami was down 28-7 but came back to win, 42-38. Tua finished with 469 yards, six touchdowns and 38.9 fantasy points. His success trickled down to his receivers, as Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle combined to score four touchdowns and a bananas 82.1 points.
