Week 2 Fantasy Football PPR Rankings by Position

As usual, Week 1 fantasy football results did a ton to shake up the landscape as managers look ahead to Week 2.

But for as much as it's crucial to identify which Week 1 performances were meaningful, we also want to make sure we're not overreacting too much in certain spots either. That's going to be a line we tiptoe for a few weeks as the dust settles on a new season.

The Duel is here to help guide you with your Week 2 fantasy decisions, with our fantasy football rankings by position for PPR leagues.
