HISTORICAL FACTS: Waiver wire pickups for week 2 - Caught on Camera

Week 1 of the 2022 NFL season was a wild one and we're hitting the waiver wire to stay ahead of the competition. There was a lot of sloppy football, but there were also a few standout performances. It looks like we were probably right about the Vikings' offense and wrong about the Cowboys' offense.   

It's still early, so let's wait a few weeks for things to tighten up and stabilize. Don't drop your studs, and don't overbid for Devin Duvernay.  

One thing you should be ahead of is the injury report. At the QB position, you will need to find a replacement for Dak Prescott, who could miss four to six weeks due to surgery for a fractured thumb. At RB, both Najee Harris and Elijah Mitchell left the game with injuries on Sunday, so you will want to monitor that situation and get some insurance. At WR, watch the status of Keenan Allen (hamstring), Tee Higgins (concussion), and Chris Godwin (hamstring). George Kittle also should be monitored at TE after missing Week 1.
