Fantasy football waiver wire: The key players to add before Week 2

"Things change quickly in fantasy football, and ESPN is here to help. Each Monday, before the current NFL week ends, we will identify players available in at least 50% of ESPN standard leagues worthy of your attention, from standard formats to deeper options. The NFL is a weekly league, and player valuation and roles seldom remain stagnant, for positive and negative. It does not matter how you acquire players for your championship fantasy rosters, just that you get them."

"The Falcons probably don't want Penix to routinely throw 42 times a week, but he was up to the task in Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. RB Bijan Robinson saw a mere 12 rushing attempts and Penix wasn't known as a runner, either in college or during his rookie season. He rushed only seven times over his three starts last season. On Sunday, he rushed six times for 21 yards, including an impressive four-yard, desperation scramble for a score in the fourth quarter."

Fantasy football valuations change quickly and player roles can shift week to week. Players available in at least 50% of standard ESPN leagues warrant attention for potential roster upgrades. Michael Penix Jr. attempted a heavy pass workload in the Falcons' loss to Tampa Bay, throwing as many as 42 passes while Bijan Robinson received only 12 rushing attempts. Penix added six rushes for 21 yards and a four-yard scramble touchdown, despite limited rushing history. Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes and avoided turnovers in a win over the Jets, but he was sacked four times and knocked down on six occasions, exposing protection issues.
