QB Sleepers

Derek Carr-Oakland Raiders: The Raiders got a big win after looking horrible in week 1, and most of the difference was due to getting Derek Carr back under center. Carr threw for 351 yards and three touchdowns including a huge strike to Amari Cooper to start the game and a game-winning last second touchdown to Seth Roberts.

Tyrod Taylor-Buffalo Bills: Taylor turned the ball over three times and struggled against the New England defense, but he still finished with pretty solid numbers. He threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns and also added a rushing touchdown along with 43 yards on the ground.

Jameis Winston-Tampa Bay Buccaneers: After a rough week 1, Winston threw for 207 yards and a touchdown in the Bucs upset of the Saints in New Orleans. He also added a touchdown on the ground while running for 23 yards on six carries.

Marcus Mariota-Tennessee Titans: Mariota didn’t move to 2-0 as the Titans fell to Johnny Manziel and the Browns, but Mariota actually had the better fantasy day. He threw for 257 yards and a pair of scores in his second week in the NFL, and looks like he’ll be a solid fantasy option as he adjusts well to the pros. The only downside to his week 2 numbers were a pair of lost fumbles.
