Fantasy Football Projections and Ratings: 2012 Week 2
| Sure Fire Freak | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 1 | Aaron Rodgers 306 yds 2.9 TDs | 26.8 | vs | Average to lackluster start for Rodgers in week 1 and gets the rival Bears on Thursday night football. Scored 32 on them last time. | |||
| 2 | Tom Brady 309 yds 2.9 TDs | 24.6 | vs | ||||
| 3 | Cam Newton 268 yds 1.4 TDs | 24.3 | vs | Slow start for Carolina and Newton but they should get things rolling against a very beatable Saints secondary. | |||
| 4 | Drew Brees 326 yds 2.6 TDs | 24.2 | @ | ||||
| 5 | Matthew Stafford 316 yds 2.5 TDs | 23.0 | @ | He did see the 49ers last year gaining 293 yards and 2 TDs. Expecting similar numbers in this one. | |||
| 6 | Michael Vick 250 yds 1.3 TDs | 21.4 | vs | ||||
| 7 | Matt Ryan 283 yds 2.3 TDs | 21.1 | vs | ||||
| 8 | Peyton Manning 284 yds 2.2 TDs | 20.9 | @ | ||||
| 9 | Tony Romo 280 yds 2.1 TDs | 20.1 | @ | 279 yards and 2 TDs the last time he faced Seattle. If he plays as well as he did against the Giants, a repeat performance will be a cinch. | |||
| Solid Freakin Start | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 10 | Eli Manning 293 yds 2.0 TDs | 19.9 | vs | Had a weak opening, but will be stronger against the Bucs. Their pass defense ranked 28th a year ago. | |||
| 11 | Robert Griffin III 238 yds 1.3 TDs | 19.8 | @ | ||||
| 12 | Philip Rivers 270 yds 2.0 TDs | 19.0 | vs | ||||
| 13 | Jay Cutler 249 yds 1.7 TDs | 17.6 | @ | ||||
| 14 | Alex Smith 218 yds 1.9 TDs | 17.4 | vs | Expecting a solid game from him this week with 200+ yards and 2 scores. | |||
| Freaky Potential | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 15 | Jake Locker 239 yds 1.5 TDs | 16.8 | @ | ||||
| 16 | Andrew Luck 237 yds 1.4 TDs | 16.6 | vs | Tough start last week throwing 3 INTs but gets a great matchup against the Vikes who ranked 2nd last at stopping the pass last year. | |||
| 17 | Joe Flacco 247 yds 1.5 TDs | 16.3 | @ | ||||
| 18 | Ryan Fitzpatrick 224 yds 1.4 TDs | 15.9 | vs | ||||
| 19 | Matt Schaub 229 yds 1.5 TDs | 15.3 | @ | The Jags held him to 225 yards and 1 TD in their last meeting. Expect more of the same as long as Foster keeps on churning. | |||
| 20 | Ben Roethlisberger 248 yds 1.1 TDs | 15.1 | vs | ||||
| 21 | Josh Freeman 227 yds 1.1 TDs | 15.0 | @ | ||||
| 22 | Andy Dalton 231 yds 1.1 TDs | 14.7 | vs | Brutal start to the season, has scored 10, 11 and 9 in his last 3 games and goes up against a top 5 pass defense. | |||
| 23 | Russell Wilson 200 yds 0.9 TDs | 14.7 | vs | Debut didn't translate too well to fantasy. Draws a tougher matchup this time out versus Dallas. | |||
| 24 | Kevin Kolb 246 yds 1.0 TDs | 14.2 | @ | Kolb gets the start with Skelton expected to miss at least 2 weeks. Favorable matchup against the Patriots, but look for better options. | |||
| 25 | Mark Sanchez 207 yds 1.3 TDs | 14.0 | @ | Riding high after week 1 and the Steelers will look to knock him right back down. Don't expect a repeat of the Bills game. | |||
