Pittsburgh Steelers QB Justin Fields has high upside in Week 2 against the Denver Broncos: if you need a replacement for an injured Jordan Love or struggling Caleb Williams, Justin Fields is available in 75% of leagues and is a great fantasy option against the Broncos' weak run defense. 

New York Giants slot WR Wan’Dale Robinson has the juiciest fantasy matchup of the week: The Giants face the Washington Commanders, who allowed 139 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns out of the slot in their season opener.
