You'll find the usual suspects, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes, at the top of the list. Then, the top five is filled out with dual-threat quarterbacks Kyler Murray, Josh Allen, and Dak Prescott. Each is set up for big days with appetizing matchups.

Russell Wilson gets a tough matchup vs. the Patriots secondary, but should still be considered a an elite option given his ability to make plays with his feet. Just don't expect another dominant performance like Week 1 vs. Atlanta.

You'll notice a couple of familiar faces at the bottom of this top-12 list, Tom Brady and Cam Newton (pictured). Both are solid options as Brady aims to bounce back from a rough Bucs debut vs. a weak Carolina defense, and Newton aims to duplicate his Week 1 effort vs. a Seahawks defense that just got torched by Matt Ryan.

1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (at HOU)

2. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs (at LAC)

3. Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals (vs. WAS)

4. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills (at MIA)

5. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (vs. ATL)

6. Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks (vs. NE)

7. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers (vs. DET)

8. Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons (at DAL)

9. Deshaun Watson, Houston Texans (vs. BAL)

10. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints (at LV)

11. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. CAR)

12. Cam Newton, New England Patriots (at SEA)

2/6

Expect a heavy dose of Derrick Henry vs. a Jaguars team that has had its fair share of struggles containing the behemoth Titans running back. Saints RB Alvin Kamara should get a hefty workload as well vs. the Raiders with Michael Thomas likely to be sidelined (high ankle sprain).

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (pictured) balled out in his NFL debut with the Chiefs and there's no reason to expect any different this week vs. the Chargers. Fellow rookie Jonathan Taylor has a huge game in front of him vs. the Vikings with Marlon Mack out.

Nick Chubb owners should keep a close eye on the timeshare in the backfield during Thursday night's game vs. Cincinnati. If it's anything like the split with Kareem Hunt in Week 1, it may be time consider selling.

1. Christian McCaffrey, Carolina Panthers (at TB)

2. Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys (vs. ATL)

3. Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (at LV)

4. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans (vs. JAC)

5. Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings (at IND)

6. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kansas City Chiefs (at LAC)

7. Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders (vs. NO)

8. Saquon Barkley, New York Giants (at CHI)

9. Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers (vs. DET)

10. Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (vs. MIN)

11. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns (vs. CIN)

12. Joe Mixon, Cincinnati Bengals (at CLE)

13. Austin Ekeler, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. KC)

22. Ronald Jones II, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. CAR)

23. Mark Ingram II, Baltimore Ravens (at HOU)

24. David Montgomery, Chicago Bears (vs. NYG)

3/6

Davante Adams (pictured) is poised for another huge day vs. a Lions defense that now lacks Darius Slay in the secondary. Fellow elite wideouts Julio Jones and DeAndre Hopkins had strong showings in Week 1 as well and have solid matchups this week. Saints star Michael Thomas isn't listed below as he's unlikely to suit up due to a high ankle sprain.

Allen Robinson owners should be salivating at this matchup vs. the Giants. It'll be a huge prove-it game for the Bears' star wideout following his brief display of unhappiness with his contract situation.

Keep a close eye on Chris Godwin's status heading into Sunday. Tom Brady's star wideout currently is in concussion protocol. If he plays, of course, he's a must-start.

1. Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers (vs. DET)

2. Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons (at DAL)

3. DeAndre Hopkins, Arizona Cardinals (vs. WAS)

4. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs (at LAC)

5. Allen Robinson, Chicago Bears (vs. NYG)

6. Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. CAR)

7. Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings (at IND)

8. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. CAR)

9. Juju Smith-Schuster, Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. DEN)

10. Amari Cooper, Dallas Cowboys (vs. ATL)

11. Calvin Ridley, Atlanta Falcons (at DAL)

12. Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams (at PHI)

13. Kenny Golladay, Detroit Lions (at GB)

UPDATE: Golladay (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

14. D.J. Moore, Carolina Panthers (at TB)

15. Terry McLaurin, Washington Football Team (at ARI)

16. A.J. Brown, Tennessee Titans (vs. JAC)

UPDATE: Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday.

17. Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams (at PHI)

18. Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks (vs. NE)

22. Marquise Brown, Baltimore Ravens (at HOU)

23. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills (at MIA)

24. Michael Gallup, Dallas Cowboys (vs. ATL) 

4/6

Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews (pictured) are the clear 1-2 in this week's tight end rankings. George Kittle would be in there had he not injured his knee in Week 1. Now, his status is up in the air for Week 2 vs. the Jets.

I'm big on Noah Fant for the remainder of the season. The second-year tight end was sensational in Week 1 and I see him has a reliable starter and potential top-five TE going forward. If you drafted him, good job. If you got him on waivers, lucky you.

1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs (at LAC)

2. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens (at HOU)

3. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. LAR)

4. George Kittle, San Francisco 49ers (at NYJ)

UPDATE: Kittle (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game.

5. Darren Waller, Las Vegas Raiders (vs. NO)

6. Hunter Henry, Los Angeles Chargers (vs. KC)

7. Jared Cook, New Orleans Saints (at LV)

8. Noah Fant, Denver Broncos (at PIT)

9. Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams (at PHI)

10. Evan Engram, New York Giants (at CHI)

11. Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. LAR)

12. Hayden Hurst, Atlanta Falcons (at DAL)

5/6

The Bills defense should feast on Ryan Fitzpatrick and the Dolphins, as shoudld the Steelers D vs. a Broncos offense that now lacks dynamic RB Phillip Lindsay. The 49ers could put up big points vs. the Jets, but keep in mind cornerback Richard Sherman has been placed on injured reserve.

A couple of sleeper D/ST plays this week include the Cardinals and Browns. Arizona's defense actually looked pretty impressive in its Week 1 win over San Francisco, and now they get to face Dwayne Haskins and the Washington Football Team. The Browns should benefit from a couple of mistakes from rookie QB Joe Burrow and a horrible Cincinnati offensive line.

1. Buffalo Bills (at MIA)

2. Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. DEN)

3. San Francisco 49ers (at NYJ)

4. Baltimore Ravens (at HOU)

5. Chicago Bears (vs. NYG)

6. Kansas City Chiefs (at LAC)

7. New Orleans Saints (at LV)

8. Arizona Cardinals (vs. WAS)

9. Cleveland Browns (vs. CIN)

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (vs. CAR)

12. Indianapolis Colts (vs. MIN)
