2026 Week 2 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Report

Week 1 delivered fireworks — 59-point offenses, blowouts, and a handful of unknowns who suddenly look very relevant. Availability on every name below will vary by league size and format, so check your own league before assuming anyone is unclaimed. Since this is only Week 2, we have no week-over-week opportunity data yet — all signals here come from Week 1 box scores, add volume on Sleeper over the last 48 hours, and recent news.

QB

Carson Wentz

Nearly 776,000 adds on Sleeper in 48 hours — that's a signal you can't ignore, even without knowing exactly what's driving it. Wentz put up 19.22 PPR points in Week 1, which is a perfectly usable streaming line. He carries no FantasyPros projection yet, which tells you he wasn't on most draft boards. If your QB situation is shaky, he's worth the add as a streaming option — just don't expect the ceiling of an established starter.

C.J. Stroud

Stroud is the second-highest projected QB on this list (261 PPR points for the season per FantasyPros) with a relevance rank of 101. He scored 16.46 PPR points in Week 1 — modest, but the projection suggests upside is coming. Add him ahead of Wentz if both are available.

Malik Willis

Willis posted 17.7 PPR points in Week 1 and carries a 270.7-point season projection from FantasyPros — actually higher than Stroud's. His relevance rank of 120 suggests he's rostered in a good chunk of leagues already. If you're in a two-QB or Superflex format (leagues that start two QBs or allow a QB in a flex spot), he's a priority add. In a standard one-QB league, he's a handcuff-style stash.

Also stashing

Kirk Cousins (15.8 PPR points, Week 1) is drawing nearly 70,000 adds but his season projection sits at just 62.7 points — the lowest of any QB here by a wide margin. He looks like a bye-week streamer at best. Drew Lock (62,436 adds) scored 12.78 PPR points in Week 1, and his FantasyPros projection is just 8 points for the season — skip unless your league is desperate at the position.

RB

Kaelon Black

The top add on the entire wire: nearly 985,000 adds on Sleeper in 48 hours. Black scored 8 PPR points in Week 1 and carries a season projection of 83.3 PPR points. Multiple Week 2 waiver wire columns name him a priority pickup. The add volume alone makes him the most urgent claim of the week regardless of format. Burn your waiver priority on him if he's available.

Samaje Perine

Perine also scored 8 PPR points in Week 1 and projects at 77.9 PPR points for the season — solid for a handcuff or a depth back. He drew nearly 29,000 adds, which is quieter volume but still real interest. Worth rostering in deeper leagues (12-plus teams) and in PPR formats where pass-catching backs get extra value.

WR

Jalen Coker

Coker exploded for 33.8 PPR points in Week 1 — the highest single-game total of any player on this list. FantasyPros projects him for 116.6 PPR points on the season, and he's drawn nearly 200,000 Sleeper adds. The catch: he's listed as questionable. Check his injury status before your waiver deadline. If he clears, he's a must-add in PPR leagues. That Week 1 performance isn't something you can ignore.

Demarcus Robinson

Robinson posted 13 PPR points in Week 1, drawing 246,000 adds — the second-highest WR add total on this list. His season projection is only 33.6 PPR points, which is low, so treat him as a streaming option rather than a roster cornerstone. Worth adding in 12-team-plus PPR leagues if he's available.

Antonio Williams

Williams put up 16.4 PPR points in Week 1 — solid performance that generated 55,647 adds. His season projection of 67.6 PPR points gives him modest but real upside. Add him ahead of the lower-projection names below if you have the roster space.

Khalil Shakir

Shakir disappointed in Week 1 (9 PPR points) but his season projection of 134.1 PPR points is the highest of any WR on this list. He drew 76,743 adds, which suggests managers believe the Week 1 output undersells his role. If you trust the projection, he's a buy-low candidate right now. In PPR leagues specifically, he's worth the roster spot.

Also stashing

Xavier Worthy (4.8 PPR points, Week 1) carries a 136-point season projection — nearly identical to Shakir's — and drew 37,674 adds. He's a stash in deeper leagues on projection alone. Cooper Kupp (5.5 PPR points) projects for 116.5 PPR points but got only 29,406 adds, suggesting he's already widely rostered; check first. Malik Washington (6.3 PPR points, 91.5-point projection) and Keenan Allen (9.2 PPR points, 112.4-point projection) round out the tier — worth adding in 14-plus-team leagues if the space is there.

TE

Michael Mayer

Mayer scored 9.2 PPR points in Week 1 and projects for 66.8 PPR points on the season — a respectable floor for the position. He's the most-added TE on the wire at 272,286 Sleeper adds. If your TE situation is unsettled, he's the clear priority add here.

David Njoku

Njoku put up 10.8 PPR points in Week 1 — actually the higher single-game output of the two TEs here — and projects for 79.3 PPR points, also higher than Mayer's. His add count (23,668) is lower, suggesting he's more widely rostered already. Check availability, but if he's open, he's the better long-term hold based on the projection.

Darren Waller

Waller scored just 4.8 PPR points in Week 1 and drew 32,769 adds. His season projection of 94.1 PPR points is the highest of the three TEs here. That gap between Week 1 output and projection makes him a buy-low stash in deeper leagues — but the floor is real, so only chase him if your TE spot is already covered or you have extra bench space.
