Fantasy football 2024 rankings, streamers, sleepers, cheat sheets for Week 2 for standard and PPR leagues

The New Orleans Saints secured a lopsided 47-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers last Sunday. Despite the surprising score, Saints wide receiver Chris Olave finished with just two catches for 11 yards. Olave has recorded more than 1,000 receiving yards in his first two seasons in the NFL, but where will he land in the Week 2 Fantasy football WR rankings? Olave and the Saints will square off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 2, a defense that gave up just 169 passing yards last week.
Saints running back Alvin Kamara is coming off a productive performance in the win over Carolina, recording over 100 all-purpose yards and a touchdown. Should you include Kamara and Olave in your Fantasy football lineups, or should you look elsewhere for productivity in the Week 2 Fantasy football rankings? Before you lock in your Fantasy football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 2 Fantasy football rankings from the advanced computer model at SportsLine .
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons, especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 2 of the 2024 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them .
Top Week 2 Fantasy football picks
One surprise in Week 2: The model is fading Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. , even though the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was a second-round pick on average. In fact, the model says Harrison doesn't even finish in the top 30 at his position and he's a player who you might want to be cautious with in Week 2.
After being touted as the clear No. 1 option in the Arizona passing attack all offseason, Harrison was only targeted three times on Sunday and caught one pass for four yards. Trey McBride (nine targets) and Greg Dortch (eight targets) were Kyler Murray's favorite options and even running back James Conner outpaced Harrison in targets 4-3. He'll match up against the Rams this week and it might be worth taking a wait-and-see approach going forward.
A curveball: The model is high on Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely, who's coming off an impressive showing in Baltimore's season-opening loss to the Chiefs. Likely was Lamar Jackson's favorite target in Week 1, finishing with nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown.
Likely was inches away from a second touchdown at the end of the game, and he's expected to be heavily involved in Baltimore's game plan this week against the Raiders. He was targeted a team-high 12 times in Week 1, while Mark Andrews only saw two targets the entire game. That's a big reason why SportsLine's model has him ranked as the No. 2 tight end this week.
