Raymond Summerlin· Sep 15, 2026
In a Week 2 fantasy waiver-wire column, Summerlin ranks the top pickups at each position, projects several players' roles on their teams' depth charts (Kaelon Black as a handcuff behind McCaffrey, Adonai Mitchell as the Jets' clear No. 2, Tre Harris as the Chargers' No. 2 if McConkey sits, Tre Tucker as Las Vegas' No. 1), and predicts Michael Penix and Shedeur Sanders will eventually take over as starters.
“Douglas is the receiver add this week with the best chance to be the long-term No. 1 option in his passing game.”
