The first game of the 2022 NFL season didn’t quite live up to the hype. At least not for the defending champions. The second week begins with an exciting AFC West matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs that should make up for the Rams’ disappointing showing. Our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 2 will gives you all the fantasy football, DFS, and sports betting tips you’ll need.

Both squads enter this tilt 1-0 after impressive victories in their openers. The Chiefs have won 13 of their last 16 matchups with the Chargers and shootouts have been the norm of late.

This should be another exciting, high-scoring grudge match. Let’s break down the fantasy football ramifications in our Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 2. They face another tough task in Week 2, traveling to Arrowhead on a short week.

Matchup 

 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Los Angeles Chargers 2 1 11 1 1
Kansas City Chiefs 9 8 24 16 9

* above ranks are from the 2021 season

Kansas City dismantled the Cardinals in Arizona last week behind a league-best 360 passing yards and five touchdowns from Patrick MahomesThis quelled any concerns of how Andy Reid and company with fare after trading away Tyreek Hill in the offseason.

Andy Reid found success by distributing the ball among multiple players. Mahomes had completed passes to nine different teammates in the first half of the team’s blowout win.

Meanwhile, Brandon Staley’s Chargers come off of a 24-19 road victory against the Raiders. Behind another solid outing from QB Justin Herbert, LA did just enough to keep Derek Carr and the Raiders from mounting a successful comeback in Las Vegas.

Four of the last five meetings between these two AFC West rivals have gone over 52 points, so there should be plenty of fireworks. This is the first NFL game to be available exclusively on a streaming platform, so it should be a memorable contest on multiple fronts.

Kansas City enters Week 2 as four-point favorites and the over/under is set at a whopping 54 points. This game certainly doesn’t look like another boring Thursday Night tilt.

There should be plenty of points scored and that means a ton of fantasy football ramifications.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 2

That season-opening slate of games was certainly something. With all that went wrong, you’re probably going to need to add reinforcement via the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 2.

 

However, keep in mind this is only one week. Less than 6% of the regular season. While it’s perfectly fine to beef up your roster, don’t overreact to some of the unforeseen performances from Sunday. Keep your eye on the prize but stay level-headed.

Here are the top fantasy football waiver wire adds: week 1 to consider, with FAAB recommendations.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Jeff Wilson (RB) San Francisco 49ers (15% FAAB) – Wilson was the only RB other than Elijah Mitchell to see the field on Sunday. Once Mitchell exited, Wilson got 9 carries and ran 10 routes. With Mitchell (knee) sidelined for multiple weeks, Wilson should have a viable path to weekly RB2 duties. He should be aggressively targeted as one of the top waiver wire adds this week.

Jahan Dotson (WR) Washington Commanders (12% FAAB) – Although he is rostered in just over half of ESPN leagues, Dotson should be considered the top priority if he’s available on the wire. Dotson was in on just one less snap than Terry McLaurin and ran one less route. But it was Dotson who drew Carson Wentz‘s praise all summer. And that connection continued into the regular season as the first-round rookie caught a pair of touchdown receptions in his NFL debut. Dotson is indisputably Washington’s No. 2 wideout and should be rostered in all leagues moving forward.

 

What other fantasy football free agents should you bid on?

Because there is little to go on, Week 1 is always the most difficult week to forecast. Both from a fantasy and betting perspective. Still, it’s one of the busiest slates, and our NFL Player Prop Bets Week 1 looks at some favorable long shots to produce a touchdown in the season opener.

Like forecasting, the early lines available have been erratic. They’ll stabilize once the season begins. For this week, we’re looking at touchdown player props that offer large returns. Just hitting one of these bets brings a huge return on investment.

Let’s take a look at some of those favorable NFL Player Prop Bets Week 1 to target on this glorious first weekend of football.

All lines courtesy of DraftKings.

 

Tom Brady (QB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Rush TD +800

Brady is famous for his one-yard QB dives into the end zone. He’s good for about three a year. There is a good chance he falls in for a score because he does it a handful of times every year. Despite his age, he continues to try the sneak on the goal line. Brady is also +8000 to punch in two scores. 

 

Damien Williams (RB) Atlanta Falcons – Anytime TD +550

Everything we’ve heard out of Atlanta points to Williams having a shot to lead the Falcons in carries. However, the odds have Tyler Allgeier is the more likely to score a TD, which he is not. Williams will have a prominent role in this offense and has a shot at goal-line carries. Gambling on a pair of scores returns a huge +5500.
