Each quarterback's fantasy football value shifts from week to week. Recent performances, matchups and injury situations are the variables to consider when determining their use for the upcoming game.
Managers who chose Jordan Love this season should find other options after his recent injury. The veteran QB won't play in Week 2. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are two replacements to consider following their solid Week 1 performances. Below is a look at the quarterback rankings for Week 2 of the 2024 fantasy football season.
