After a good start to the 2015 NFL season, Week 2 definitely was full of plot twists, exciting narratives, and surprise endings.  Maybe the best way to sum it up quickly is to say that the Bucs, Jags, Browns, and Raiders all won which hadn’t happened in the same week since week 12 of 2007! There were some key injuries, step up performances, and major letdowns in fantasy football week 2 as well, and to keep you up to speed on all the fantasy football week 2 happenings check out my studs, duds, and sleepers on the following slides.

For each of the main fantasy football positions–quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end–I’ve listed some of the biggest studs, some of the biggest duds, and the biggest sleepers.  The studs are players who had high expectations coming in to week 2 and delivered on their promise with good weeks.  The duds are players who were looked to for production but failed to deliver due to injury or ineffectiveness.  Finally, the sleepers at each position are designed to highlight some of the players who weren’t expected to make big fantasy contributions but stepped up and delivered some solid numbers.

If you are looking to improve your team by adding some of the sleepers listed, make sure to check back tomorrow morning for my full top 10 waiver wire pickups post in which I’ll break down who you should target to bolster your roster.  In order to stay locked in to all the fantasy football coverage at Fansided drop a bookmark over on our fantasy football hub and follow us on Twitter @FansidedFantasy.  I’ll be happy to answer as many fantasy sports questions as possible on Twitter so let me know how I can help your team on its way to a championship.

Whether your team is 2-0, 1-1, or 0-2 there is still plenty of room to grow and you need to stay on top of all the happenings from around the league. This week, injuries are going to be a huge storyline as the Cowboys, Packers, Bears, 49ers, and Bengals deal with major fantasy football impacting injuries.
