Boy oh boy is it a glorious feeling. This version of Winston looked slightly different though. He was still throwing touchdowns but the accompanying interceptions weren\u2019t there. Imagine a world where Winston is slinging the rock and actually not turning it over. His opening week couldn\u2019t have gone much better. Winston finished with 148 yards passing and five touchdowns. He also added 37 yards on the ground. This week he gets to take on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_self\">Carolina Panthers<\/a>. The Panthers just allowed a solid debut to rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/09\/09\/week-1-stream-team-zach-wilson-jakobi-meyers\/\" target=\"_self\">Zach Wilson<\/a>. Winston shouldn\u2019t have many issues putting up another nice game in Week 2.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The highest-graded QBs in Week 1 so far \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfaf Tom Brady<br \/>\ud83c\udfaf Jalen Hurts<br \/>\ud83c\udfaf Jameis Winston <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2Ie9zEHq7q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/2Ie9zEHq7q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF (@PFF) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF\/status\/1437453994801180674?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Ben Roethlisberger<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>PIT<\/b> <b>&#8211; 39%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>v LV<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Teddy Bridgewater<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>DEN<\/b> <b>&#8211; 11%) @ JAX<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Eli Mitchell (SF &#8211; 7%) @ PHI<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The artist also known as Elijah Mitchell made a great first impression in Week 1. He\u2019s a sixth-round rookie this year and didn\u2019t really receive much fantasy draft consideration outside of the deepest of leagues. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_self\">San Francisco 49ers<\/a> are notorious for varying their running back usage. He also had Raheem Mostert and fellow rookie <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2021\/04\/22\/2021-nfl-draft-trey-sermon-player-profile\/\" target=\"_self\">Trey Sermon<\/a> ahead on the depth chart. How quickly things in the NFL change. Sermon was a scratch on gameday and Mostert left early with an injury paving the way for Mitchell to receive the bulk of the carries. He rewarded the coaching staff on his way to 104 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries. That was good for 16.40 fantasy points. This week he has a much tougher matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/eagles\/\" target=\"_self\">Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. Sermon also seems likely to be active this week and should steal touches too. Even still, Mitchell is still likely to see double-digit touches in a high-powered rushing attack and that\u2019s a player worth playing if running back is an area of need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 James White<\/b> <b>(NE &#8211; 33%) @ NYJ,<\/b> <b>Mark Ingram (HOU &#8211; 19%) @ CLE<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Cole Beasley (BUF &#8211; 45%) @ MIA<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cole Beasley saw 13 targets in Week 1. That was tied for sixth-most in the NFL with Keenan Allen. Sure Josh Allen threw the rock 51 times in Week 1 but the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bills\/\" target=\"_self\">Buffalo Bills<\/a> were one of the most pass-heavy teams last season and it should be expected the trend will continue this year. He won\u2019t average 51 attempts per game, but opportunities will be ample for the Bills wide receivers. Stefon Diggs is the clear alpha among the pass catchers but after that, it\u2019s up for grabs and Beasley seems to be the next guy more often than not. He likely won\u2019t see another 13 targets this week but anytime you see that much work it can\u2019t be ignored. This week he faces the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/dolphins\/\" target=\"_self\">Miami Dolphins<\/a>. The Dolphins aren\u2019t an outlier defense in either direction so they aren\u2019t a unit to avoid. If wide receiver is an area of need, Beasley should make for a nice streamer in Week 2, especially in full PPR formats.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Percentage of snaps spent in the slot in Week 1:<\/p>\n<p>95% &#8211; Christian Kirk<br \/>92% &#8211; Cole Beasley<br \/>90% &#8211; Amon-Ra St. Brown<br \/>84% &#8211; Laviska Shenault<br \/>82% &#8211; Terrace Marshall, Zach Pascal<br \/>75% &#8211; Chris Godwin<br \/>72% &#8211; Gabe Davis, JuJu, Tyler Boyd<br \/>68% &#8211; Jaylen Waddle<br \/>66% &#8211; Sterling Shepard<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jacob Gibbs (@jagibbs_23) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jagibbs_23\/status\/1437499805476036610?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">September 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Sterling Shepard<\/b> <b>(NYG &#8211; 39%) @<\/b> <b>WFT,<\/b> <b>Christian Kirk (ARI &#8211; 13%) v MIN<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Juwan Johnson (NO &#8211; 10%) @ CAR<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tight end is always the trickiest position every year. Every year there seem to be a couple of breakout guys but they are always tough to spot and buy into. Could Juwan Johnson be that guy this year? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoopAFiasco\/status\/1437197934169366528?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Many people seem to think so as he picked up a lot of buzz late in the preseason<\/a>. Most of the off-season and early preseason was filled with Adam Trautman hype and then Johnson came on strong late as the supposed \u201cpass-catching\u201d tight end. It\u2019s only been one week but so far the hype was warranted. He only had three targets but he made the most of them as he caught all three for 21 yards and two scores. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/saints\/\" target=\"_self\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> got a big lead and didn\u2019t need to throw much so it will be interesting to see how many targets he sees in a game where they throw it more. That could happen this week against a decent Panthers team. If tight end is an area of need (which it is for most teams) Johnson seems like a good guy to take a shot on and see if he can continue with good production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Jared Cook<\/b> <b>(LAC &#8211; 26%) v DAL,<\/b> <b>Cole Kmet (CHI &#8211; 34%) v CIN<\/b><\/p>\n<p>[pickup_prop id=&#8221;11945&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"G5SYuniTTNdxfm5_5wKIUg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1340109808\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'G5SYuniTTNdxfm5_5wKIUg',sig:'waA6tmJv1EyZIuv5NWdJK1oBQXiSaLZ6nU548vHe0qw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1340109808',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Week 2 Stream Team; Each week this column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50% of Yahoo leagues or less.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":121566,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[665,7984,349,116,8652],"class_list":["post-121382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-cole-beasley","tag-elijah-mitchell","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-jameis-winston","tag-juwan-johnson"],"modified_by":"Will Noltie, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=121382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/121382\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/121566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=121382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=121382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=121382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
