NFL DFS Week 2 Picks, Projections & Playbook For DraftKings & FanDuel
Published: Sep 15, 2024
NFL DFS Week 2 of the season may have kicked off on Thursday with the Bills taking on the Dolphins but when it comes to DFS NFL picks, we all know the Sunday main slate featured Week 2 DFS slate on DraftKings and FanDuel.
Week 1 was a successful venture, and I know that NFL DFS Week 2 is going to be just as good for all of the Fantasy Alarm members.
Our featured cover player last week Alvin Kamara did not let us down as he torched the Carolina Panthers for 110 total yards, five catches and a rushing touchdown.
Our core example lineups cashed, and the playbook was littered with top NFL DFS projections like Anthony Richardson, Jayden Daniels, Joe Mixon, Alvin Kamara, Tyreek Hill, Mike Evans, Stefon Diggs, Chris Godwin, Kyle Pitts and the Dallas Cowboys defense.
While you check out this NFL DFS Week 2 Playbook, make sure you are also taking in our top tier DFS content which you can find linked at the bottom of this page!

NFL DFS Week 2 has some fun matchups for us to target and Howard Bender and I go over the entire DraftKings main slate, breaking down each position and building an example lineup at the end of the show so make sure you check this out while building your DFS lineups this weekend.

NFL Weather: Week 2 DFS Impact
There is some wet weather possible for Sunday in a few spots but nothing that should impact NFL DFS Week 2 as of now.
Of course, this can always change as we get closer to roster lock but for now monitor the following matchups and their forecast:
- Los Angeles Chargers vs. Carolina Panthers
- New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans
- Cleveland Browns vs. Jacksonville Jaguars.
NFL Injuries: What To Know For Week 2 DFS
We have a couple of big names we are watching here on the injury report for NFL DFS Week 2. Make sure you are checking out the Fantasy Alarm NFL Injury Report from James Grande for all the latest news and notes before making any DFS NFL picks, but here is a quick rundown at what we are looking at:
- Christian McCaffrey, RB 49ers - Honestly, who knows? Kyle Shanahan is a known liar, but CMC has logged limited practices each of the last two days and while we don't expect him to play, we probably will not know until inactive actually come out.
- Kenneth Walker, RB Seahawks - Missed back-to-back practices and a third missed practice on Friday would more than likely rule him out for Sunday's road matchup against the New England Patriots.
- Tee Higgins, WR Bengals - Hasn't practiced due to the hamstring injury and is likely being ruled out.
- Jordan Addison, WR Vikings - Was injured in Week 1 and has missed back-to-back practices. Friday's practice will tell the story here.
- Josh Downs, WR Colts - Has logged limited practices this week, could see him return in Week 2.
- Jake Ferguson, TE Cowboys - Suffered a knee injury in Week 1 and hasn't practice. All but certain to be ruled out.
- Keenan Allen & Rome Odunze, WR Bears - Both have missed practice this week and are on the injury report ahead of Sunday Night Football.
