Another potential breakout that SportsLine's Fantasy football rankings 2026 have identified: Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis. Willis had stints as a clear-cut backup for the Titans and Packers, and now he gets a chance to start for Miami after signing a three-year, $67.5 million deal in the offseason. There are major questions about his surrounding cast, but playing from behind can be a good thing from a Fantasy standpoint as quarterbacks often pile up big numbers late in that scenario.

The 2026 NFL regular season gets underway in under three weeks with the kickoff game on Wednesday, Sept. 9. With Week 2 of the NFL preseason rolling, the time has come for Fantasy football owners to lock in on preparations for another big Fantasy football draft weekend. Veterans like Josh Allen, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs and Ja'Marr Chase all headline the 2026 Fantasy football rankings, and will likely be among the top players on most Fantasy football draft boards. The key to Fantasy success remains finding sleepers and rookies who outperform their Fantasy football ADP, and avoiding drafting players that end up being Fantasy football 2026 busts.

Stroud would take a step back in 2024 and calling Daniel Jones' huge 2025 season. Additionally, it's called past Fantasy football sleepers like Derrick Henry in 2019, Christian McCaffrey and Alvin Kamara in 2018, and Davante Adams in 2017. Anybody who banked on players like those made a run at their league title.

With teams approaching the preseason differently across the board, some expert help can go a long way in finding the best NFL DFS values. Before making any NFL DFS picks for this slate on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS lineup advice, strategy and player stacks from SportsLine NFL expert R.J. White.

How to set NFL preseason Week 2 Saturday NFL DFS lineups White is also targeting another undervalued player who could explode for huge numbers on Saturday. This pick could be the difference between winning your tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You can only see who it is, and the rest of White's NFL DFS picks, at SportsLine.

Top 2026 NFL preseason Week 2 DFS picks for Saturday One of White's favorite DFS picks for Friday, where every player is $5,500 on DraftKings and $6,000 on FanDuel, is Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew. Starter Jacoby Brissett is sitting this week, while rookie Carson Beck is expected to miss this game with sore ribs. That leaves the veteran, Minshew, to handle at least the entire first half and possibly go into the second. Not many quarterbacks are essentially guaranteed that time of playing time on this slate, so White is confidently making him a key part of his NFL DFS lineups.

Top 2026 Fantasy football breakouts One of the 2026 Fantasy football breakouts the model is predicting: Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart, who is going off the board at pick No. 105. The second-year pro out of Ole Miss had a solid rookie season, throwing for 2,272 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions. He added 487 yards and nine scores on the ground. He had a brief injury scare in Week 1 of the preseason, but was cleared and able to return to that game.
