NFL Fantasy Week 2 Waiver Wire: Players To Watch (Carr, Likely, More)

After an exciting first week of the 2024 NFL season, it’s already time to take a look at the Week 2 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire.

We aren’t exact finished with Week 1 as the New York Jets take on the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football, but that isn’t stopping fantasy football players from already looking ahead to Week 2. We saw some serious injuries to some very important players like Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (knee), Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua and Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, which means people are running – not walking – to their fantasy football waiver wire and are already looking to make claims.

We are going to have a full Fantasy Football Waiver Wire article that comes out every Tuesday from Andrew Cooper. He’s going to cover everything from must-haves to key bench stashes to players you just want to throw onto a watch list. But in an effort to get you started, here are some names you are going to want to pay attention to as you do your Week 2 research:
