Welcome back for Week 2 everyone. It was a 21 unit week 1 and we have a great 1 pm slate to start us off today.
We will be laying off the Rams/Titans game to start. The Rams play tight football, especially on defense, and Cam Ward and Calvin Ridley do not look like they will excite me in this matchup. This game should be a tight low scoring game that the Rams win. Feel free to use the Rams as a parlay piece. I’m not significantly sold on the spread at 5.5.
The Bengals should rebound offensively today. As bad as the Browns are, they are a tough play, especially in divisional matchups. They are a team I tend to avoid in survivor as well. I expect this game to be high scoring and fantasy productive. Chase and Burrow should rebound from their week 1 duds, and I expect Brian Thomas to see more production as well. My eyes will be on Travis Etienne to see if his week 1 production will be consistent or if it was a one week fluke. He’s a buy for me as he’s been all off season.
I’m laying off any spread in the Baltimore Browns game as mentioned above about them being divisionally tough opponents. Baltimore’s totals are where I am looking. Baltimore should have a fire under their ass after the abysmal loss to the Bills last Sunday night so expect to hit this game pregame and throughout.
The Bills are a tough matchup today. They’ve lost to the Jets before and the Jets looked good last week. There are too many variables here for me to feel comfortable. The Bills should rout the Jets, but their comeback win last week and going on the road could have an opposite effect on them. They could either win this game 19-13 or blow them out in a high scoring game. What I am confident here is continuing to hammer Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson. We’ll take some props in this game and worry about the spread/totals live.
New England and Miami are a pass. I expect Miami to rebound stats wise, but I want no part of either side. New England did not look great last week against an inferior opponent and I am worried about all Patriots players involved, especially fantasy wise.
I expect Dallas to rout the Giants today and will be all over their totals and Lamb. Dallas is one of my top survivor picks today.

Survivor Picks:
- If you only have one entry in your survivor pool Baltimore is the safer play, but expect them to be the top consensus pick. I try and diversify my picks from the top pick. I have 3 entries in both of my pools:
- Dallas Cowboys
- Baltimore Ravens
- Pittsburgh Steelers
