Joe Flacco, QB

If you're in need of a quarterback for Week 2, chances are Flacco is still available, and it's hard not to love a matchup against Cleveland. The Browns defense allowed 2 scores and 278 yards through the air to Philadelphia in Week 1, making Flacco a strong candidate to repeat his solid Week 1 outing.

Brock Osweiler, QB

Osweiler threw an interception in his Texans debut, but otherwise enjoyed a clean performance against the Bears. Defenses are likely to catch on to Lamar Miller's explosiveness out of the backfield, which could lead to Osweiler having chances for some big plays against the Chiefs.

Kenny Stills, WR

The Dolphins are still searching for a bona fide No. 2 to Jarvis Landry, but Stills is a deep threat whenever he's on the field. Categorize him as a boom-or-bust play, but the magnitude of that boom could make him worth a start if you're in need.

Michael Thomas, WR

The Saints rookie caught every pass thrown his way in Week 1, and the Giants still have some work to do to convince us that their defensive offseason additions make them a formidable group.With Brandin Cooks and Willie Snead both coming off stellar performances, Thomas may be able to slip through the cracks and post impressive numbers in Week 2.

Shane Vereen, RB

Vereen racked up decent yardage in limited touches during the second half of the Giants' Week 1 win in Dallas. Against a softer New Orleans defense, New York's second-stringer should see the ball more, and -- especially in PPR formats -- is worth your consideration.
