Fantasy Football Week 2 Pickups: Shough, Black, Coker

ESPN NFL •

Each Monday, before the current NFL week ends, we identify players available in at least 50% of ESPN standard leagues. Top pickup options at every position for Week 2 include Tyler Shough, QB, Saints (46.7% rostered). Shough started slowly versus the Detroit Lions, then ended with 23.2 PPR points, 410 passing yards and three touchdowns. Week 2 at the Baltimore Ravens should be tougher.

Kaelon Black, RB, 49ers (15.4%), looked excellent in the Week 1 rout of the Los Angeles Rams in Australia, turning 15 touches into 70 yards and 8.0 fantasy points. Adding Black just in case Christian Mc Caffrey gets hurt makes sense.

Jalen Coker, WR, Panthers (50.7%), caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He and pals hit the road for Week 2 in Atlanta.

Mike Gesicki, TE, Bengals (1.5%), caught 78 yards and a touchdown. Other quarterbacks: Jordan Love, Packers (42.2%), and Malik Willis, Dolphins (21%).
