Summary

Chris Welsh, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest Week 2 running back ranking decisions, including which early-season workloads you can trust and where matchup concerns should change your expectations. Kenneth Walker’s expanded role takes center stage, while the guys also debate how much confidence to have in De’Von Achane, Bucky Irving, and several volatile RB2 and flex options. Plus, they identify a few deeper running backs who could outperform consensus and help fantasy managers navigate difficult Week 2 lineup calls.
