Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Flex (RB/WR/TE)

DeAndre Hopkins was impressive as the Cardinals look improved on offense

UPDATED: September 19, 2021

The first week of the 2021 NFL season is on the books! We're moving on to Week 2 a little wiser so let's use that knowledge to our advantage over our opponents.

Wise decisions go a long way and while you can't lose a league this early in the season, you can overthink easy decisions. Remember to always churn those last couple bench spots to make sure you're bringing your best options to your lineup. Every lineup spot counts!
