The Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles will feature two of the best overall fantasy football running backs when they go head-to-head on Monday Night Football.

Saquon Barkley was extremely impressive in his Eagles debut last week, finishing as the weekly RB1 with 132 scrimmage yards and three total touchdowns.

Bijan Robinson totaled 111 yards, proving he'll be the focal point of the Falcons' offense this year. Drake London is expected to be another one, but his disappointing Week 1 performance included just two receptions for 15 yards.

London is an ideal bounce-back candidate this week after the Eagles allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers last week. He should be trusted in Week 2 fantasy football against a passing defense that also struggled last season.

On the other side, Jahan Dotson makes for an interesting player to target in fantasy football this week with AJ Brown being officially ruled out with an injury. He was targeted just once last week, but his expected increase in workload makes him a strong sleeper. Here's who else joins him as lineup targets in Week 2.

  • Jalen Hurts
  • Bijan Robinson
  • Saquon Barkley
  • DeVonta Smith
  • Drake London

While the Falcons and Eagles have plenty of solid options for fantasy lineups in Week 2, some players must still be avoided. Tyler Allgeier is one of them after his disappointing performance last week. He was a useful option for lineups last year, but after recording just three carries in Week 1, he should be left on the bench unless he proves to have earned a larger workload.

The backup Eagles running backs should also be avoided in Week 2 lineups after Barkley dominated the backfield workload. Will Shipley was held without a touch last week and played in just 5% of the offensive snaps, while Kenneth Gainwell totaled just 12 yards. Here's who joins them as Week 2 fades.

Must Sits

  • Tyler Allgeier
  • Kenneth Gainwell
  • Will Shipley
  • Darnell Mooney

DFS Fades

  • Kirk Cousins
