Fantasy Football Rankings Today: Week 2 RB, WR, QB, TE and Flex Rankings

Week 2 of the NFL season is here, and fantasy football managers have another full Sunday slate to navigate.

The opening week gave us our first meaningful look at how backfields, target shares and new-look offenses are taking shape in 2026. Now, the challenge is figuring out which Week 1 performances we can trust and which ones might have been a mirage.

Injuries add another wrinkle to this week's lineup decisions, with several notable players carrying designations or already ruled out ahead of Sunday's games.

Whether you're deciding between two players for your final flex spot or trying to settle a close call at quarterback, running back, wide receiver or tight end, our Week 2 fantasy football rankings can help.

Here are our fantasy football rankings for this week. Rankings compiled via our fantasy football projections.

Injuries can — and will — impact these rankings. Stay up to date with injury news on our NFL player news page.

Fantasy Football Rankings FAQ

Who should I start in fantasy football in Week 2?

Fantasy managers should generally lean on their highest-ranked players in Week 2, but matchups, projected workload, injuries and expected game environment can help break close start/sit decisions. Our Week 2 fantasy football rankings compare quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends to help with those choices.

What positions are included in the Week 2 fantasy football rankings?

Our Week 2 fantasy football rankings cover quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Players are ranked within their respective positions based on their expected fantasy production for Week 2. We also have flex rankings. Typically leagues allow you to play a WR, RB or TE in a flex spot.

What should I consider when making Week 2 start/sit decisions?

Player talent and expected volume should carry significant weight, but matchup quality, injuries, offensive role and scoring format can also influence start/sit decisions. When deciding between similarly ranked players, those factors can help provide a useful tiebreaker.

When does NFL Week 2 end?

The Sunday portion of Week 2 takes place on September 20, with the week's final game featuring the New York Giants and Los Angeles Rams on Monday, September 21.
