Fantasy managers should consider looking at [Curtis Samuel](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3121427/curtis-samuel), [Robbie Anderson](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2574808/robbie-anderson), [Zay Jones](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3059722/zay-jones) or [Treylon Burks](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4567156/treylon-burks) as streaming options for Week 2. Running back [Nyheim Hines](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3916430/nyheim-hines) could also see more targets. [Alec Pierce](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4360078/alec-pierce) was also limited in Thursday's practice because of a concussion. Undrafted rookie [Jaylen Warren](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4569987/jaylen-warren) could be more involved.

If Herbert is unavailable in Week 3, fantasy managers could stream Falcons quarterback [Marcus Mariota](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/2576980/marcus-mariota) against the Giants. His status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks remains up in the air. What it means in fantasy: Pittman is dealing with a quad injury and was also limited in practice Wednesday. During the preseason, he was a breakout player for the Steelers. What it means in fantasy: Harris is extremely likely to play against the Patriots in Week 2.

[Panthers](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/CAR/carolina-panthers/) in Week 2 after they allowed 217 rushing yards last week, the second-most in the league.

You probably don't hear this often but I like Jared Goff this week.

[Marcus Mariota](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/marcus-mariota) is not [Matt Ryan](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/matt-ryan) and that was evident in this game. I understand the enthusiasm around [Cordarrelle Patterson](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/cordarrelle-patterson), but I believe [Damien Williams](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/damien-williams) is still the starter when he gets healthy and rookie [Tyler Allgeier](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/tyler-allgeier) may be forced into a larger role in Week 2 because of Williams's likely absence. Howard](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/o-j-howard) or [Taysom Hill](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/taysom-hill), two players not expected to be much of a fantasy factor heading into the season. The Falcons seem to be using this to their advantage, at least after one game. If you already need a streaming option or want to take a small risk with your QB2 spot in a superflex, this is the week to give Goff a chance. Atlanta ran the ball 38 times for 201 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1 against the Saints. [Gerald Everett](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/gerald-everett), who has now strung together two good games after he posted 6-71 in Week 2 (13.1 pts) and 3-54-1 in Week 1 (14.4 pts). I had [Devin Duvernay](https://www.si.com/college/college-football/player/devin-duvernay) on two teams and I cut him in both before the season even started because in my gut, I don't really trust him. To me, a lot of what makes a good quarterback is efficiency and there are a few ways that manifests itself. [Hunter Henry](https://www.si.com/nfl/player/hunter-henry), do you cut him loose after he posted two receptions on three targets for 20 yards in Week 1? Especially in these early weeks of the season when every bad game by one of your drafted players feels like a betrayal. Knowing when to pivot away from a player is one of the many struggles managers face in fantasy football.

NFL.com breaks down the best -- and worst -- fantasy matchups ahead of each week of the 2022 NFL fantasy football season.

Howard](https://www.nfl.com/players/o-j-howard/), [Travis Kelce](https://www.nfl.com/players/travis-kelce/) was the only tight end who had a great fantasy day in Week 1. The Bengals have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points and second-most receiving yards in the NFL to TEs since the start of the 2021 season and allowed [Pat Freiermuth](https://www.nfl.com/players/pat-freiermuth/) to catch five balls for 75 yards in Week 1. [Mitch Trubisky](https://www.nfl.com/players/mitchell-trubisky/) seems to trust Freiermuth as he had a career-high 10 targets in the game. [Gerald Everett](https://www.nfl.com/players/gerald-everett/) had over 50 receiving yards and a TD last week against the Raiders. Brown](https://www.nfl.com/players/a-j-brown/) and [DeVonta Smith](https://www.nfl.com/players/devonta-smith/) vs. Howard](https://www.nfl.com/players/o-j-howard/) stole both receiving touchdowns in the game. The Ravens have allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL since 2021 and kept the Jets to just 83 rushing yards in Week 1. [Lamar Jackson](https://www.nfl.com/players/lamar-jackson/) to throw three TDs on Sunday, but all three were on downfield passes; Jackson gained just 4.3 yards/attempt on his other 27 passes in the game. The Eagles have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points and the third-most receptions in the NFL to running backs since 2021. [Russell Wilson](https://www.nfl.com/players/russell-wilson/) to put up 340 yards in the season opener. Gibson gets a juicy matchup this week against the Lions, who allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to the running back position in 2021, then allowed 216 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns to the Eagles last week. The Dolphins have surprisingly allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the quarterback position since 2021 and had a dominant defensive performance against the Patriots in Week 1.

Drake London is the reason the Falcons don't have to do the outside receiver stuff with Pitts as much this year. The rookie stepped right onto the NFL field and ...
