Welcome to the NFL DFS Playbook for Week 2! We really hit the ground running with an explosive opening weekend, and last week’s Playbook set the stage in a huge way. Dominant top plays like Ashton Jeanty, D'Andre Swift, and Justin Jefferson smashed their projectable volume, while low-owned value pieces such as Jalen Coker and Devaughn Vele delivered crucial salary savings that helped the #FAmily’s NFL DFS players sweep tournament contests across DraftKings and FanDuel. Heading into the NFL DFS Week 2 slate, building high-ceiling lineups requires a blend of sharp NFL DFS projections, matchup leverage, the use of our new and improved NFL DFS tools and identifying mispriced DFS NFL Picks before the market catches up.

Weather condition tracking is critical when finalizing NFL DFS Week 2 cash and tournament rosters, as wind and precipitation can alter play-calling and targeting depth: Here is a look at games that could see some effects from the weather:

NFL Injuries: What To Know for Week 2 DFS

Before you sit down to make any sort of NFL DFS Week 2 lineup decisions, you should always check out our NFL Injury Report. Not every listed injury will have a major impact, but you should always be on the lookout for impact players at the skill positions as well as key offensive line issues. Yes, there are certain injuries on defense to could come into play, so if there is something impactful, we will highlight it in this section each week.

NFL DFS Week 2 Picks: Howard Bender's Favorites

Consider this a primer for the full player pool. As you scroll down, you will see the full list of my own personal NFL DFS Week 2 player pool. I have spent this entire week studying what I saw last week and everything about the matchups. I have combed through our NFL DFS projections and put together a list of candidates around which I am building all of my lineups. Still, people have asked me for my favorites, as if you don't already know reading the DFS Watch List and listening to me on both SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio and Alarm Fantasy Football.

As such, in this section, I'm just going to highlight a few from a variety of categories. One caveat – this in no way means that all of my lineups will consist of these players. Don't freak out if I post an example lineup or, even better, a lineup that cashed well, that doesn't include some of these players. Will they be in a lot of them? Absolutely. But in the time between posting this Playbook and the first Sunday kickoff, things can change. Ownership percentages can change. Weather can change. Gut feelings can change. These might be some of my favorite NFL DFS Week 2 Picks, but this is a guideline, not the gospel.
