Week 2 fantasy quarterback rankings: Top QB streamers, starts

Week 1 of the NFL season provided fantasy football managers with plenty of points and the quarterbacks delivered.

Josh Allen enters Week 2 atop our weekly fantasy football rankings after another reminder of why he remains the gold standard at the position. Allen accounted for four touchdowns in Buffalo’s Week 1 win over Houston, including the late game-winner, keeping his rushing and passing upside firmly in play. Lamar Jackson was just as impressive in Baltimore’s 41-23 victory over Indianapolis, reinforcing his status as one of the league’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks.

Meanwhile, two young quarterbacks made compelling cases to become weekly fantasy starters. Jaxson Dart flashed big-play ability and added 54 rushing yards in his Giants

debut, while Caleb Williams accounted for four touchdowns in Chicago’s 59-point explosion. Their mobility gives both quarterbacks valuable fantasy floors - and legitimate weekly upside.
