Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 2 (2023)

Welcome to our first Waiver Wire article at Fantasy In Frames for the 2023 fantasy football season!

Hey everyone, I’m Drew, and welcome to my first waiver wire article for the fantasy football season. This season, we will be using roster percentages found on Sleeper HQ, as it is one of the most popular fantasy football platforms to play on. However, for those using ESPN or Yahoo, chances are the percentages found on those platforms are fairly similar to those on Sleeper HQ, so you shouldn’t have to worry about any major discrepancies across platforms. With that said, I’m Drew Scott (Twitter/X @Drew3MR), and here are my recommendations in my Fantasy Football Waiver Wire for Week 2 (2023) article.

  1. Jordan Love
    • He completed 15 of 27 passes for 245 yards and was the only QB with 3+ TDs and 0 INTs in Week 1 without his top weapon, Christian Watson, albeit against a less-than-impressive Chicago Bears defense, and he gets another beatable defense in the Atlanta Falcons in Week 2. 
    • The Packers offensive line allowed only two pressures in Week 1, giving Love plenty of time to make plays. He also didn’t have to show his rushing ability much in Week 1, which he can do when needed. 
  2. Mac Jones
    • Jones completed 35 of 54 passes (yes, you read that right – 54 passes) for 316 yards with 3 TDs and 1 INT against a tough Philadelphia Eagles defense. Turns out it’s helpful to have an actual offensive mind as your offensive coordinator instead of a former defensive coordinator. 
    • They play the Miami Dolphins in Week 2, who should be able to put up points, which could lead to another game with a high number of pass attempts from Mac Jones and the Patriots offense. He could get Devante Parker back in Week 2 as well. 
  3. Baker Mayfield
    • Completed 21 of 34 passes for only 173 yards, but 2 TDs and 0 INTs. We know how great Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are, and the impressive preseason from rookie Trey Palmer continued in Week 1 as well. With these weapons in the right matchup, he is a streaming option. 
    • Speaking of the right matchup, remember the less-than-impressive Chicago Bears defense that Jordan Love picked on in Week 1? That’s Baker Mayfield’s matchup for Week 2. It’s going to feel gross, but you can do much worse as a streaming option this week.
