Week 2 Monday Review: After the Veterans Blew Up Week 1, The Rookie Receivers Strike Back!

Hello There!

In Week 2 of the 2024 season, the action ramped up considerably compared to what we were given in the opening week of the season. Even though things were not perfect, it did look like most teams actually had a clue what they were trying to accomplish on offense during the second week’s slate of games. Whether it was Week 1 jitters or rust that plagued teams last week, we should just be happy that we will not have to deal with another NFL Week 1 for a full calendar year.

After succumbing to the Dark Side — and a considerable amount of pessimism — concerning the performances in Week 1, this week’s column will (mostly) be about hope. With multiple players not living up to expectations in Week 1 — or even Year 1 — things started to take a turn for the better on Sunday. Using our own version of the Force — the Monday Review tool — let’s hit the hyper drive and dive into all of the action from Sunday’s slate of games.

This is where the fun begins!

Landing Spot Instant Reactions From The First 2 Days of the 2025 NFL Draft

Kevin Szafraniec April 25, 2025

In the week prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, I put out articles detailing the ideal landing spots for this year’s rookie crop of running backs and wide receivers based on vacated opportunities from 2024 and player performance. As players at both positions come off the board, I will be analyzing what their new NFL home means for their fantasy value, as well as how…...

With Comps to Late Bloomers Like Davante Adams, Robert Woods, and Michael Crabtree, Can This WR Buck the Trend with a Year 2 Breakout?

Kevin Szafraniec April 22, 2025

Robert Woods was drafted at the beginning of the second round in 2013 by Buffalo, but had to wait six years before seeing his first breakout season. Following his first 200-point PPR season in 2018, he put up two more in consecutive seasons.

Is the Sky the Limit For This WR Whose First Year Looked A Lot Like Tyreek Hill’s Rookie Season?

Kevin Szafraniec April 21, 2025

Due to off-the-field issues, Tyreek Hill was not selected until the fifth round of the 2016 draft. If based solely on attributes, he would have easily come off of the board in one of the first two rounds. Hill’s talent was never in doubt, and he proved it by putting up more than 200 PPR points and finishing as the PPR WR18 during his rookie…...
