I always like to at least have a snapshot of the five (or so) worst rushing or receiving defenses in either category.

I fully believe this will be the last time the list looks like anything like Week 1. Carolina and Denver beat each other up on TNF, KC will get Justin Houston back, and Cincinnati is simply not that bad.
Where does that leave us? Darn New Orleans again. As mentioned yesterday, this game should be targeted heavy all week. Let's take a look at the next 5 teams, and see if it is something we can work with.

Ahhh, there we go. This is the fine group of teams you should be looking for and targeting while setting your DFS LU's this week.
Jeremy Langford ($4600)
Philadelphia +3
Chicago 43
The Eagles just gave up 120 yards on the ground to the hapless Cleveland Browns. Langford received a true RB1 workload not sharing much of his duties with his team mates. Langford is undoubtedly the focal point of this rushing attack. I don't think you will find a better price/workload scenario in week 2. In addition, this extensive workload comes against a less than average Philly D. The Bears are projected for 23 of the 43 points in this contest. Langford has nice upside and a high floor, I would consider him in all formats.
TJ Yeldon ($4700)
Jacksonville -3
San Diego 47
Yeldon seemed primed for a monster afternoon vs GB in Week 1. He was only able to come out of the game averaging 1.9 YPC but had a TD making his day for his investors. If Chris Ivory (check status here) is out again Week 2, Yeldon should get a lot of work against a weak SD rush defense. This is another good looking price/workload scenario however Week 1 production for Yeldon does stick in my head.
Rashad Jennings ($5600)
New Orleans +5
NY Giants 53
Jennings did not have quite the day we had hoped in Week 1 (75/0) but he dominated the carries. Jennings carried the ball 18 times to Vareen's 6 carries. Vareen did have three more targets in the passing game. The Saints gave up a monster 167/3 on the ground to the Raiders in Week 1. The Giants could be in for another 400-500 yard offensive day. Jennings makes sense in all DFS formats.
Spencer Ware ($6100)
KC Chiefs +2
Houston 43.5
The price for Ware caught up pretty darn fast. It does not look like Jamaal Charles will be rushed back into this offense. Ware gave the Chiefs plenty of reasons allowing the Chiefs to ease Charles back in. Ware rewarded us all in a tremendous way for 11/71/1 on the ground and 7/129/0 through the air. This is a much less enticing match up though Jeremy Langford had a formidable game against these Texans in Week 1. Ware and West split true playing time though Ware out touched West 19-9. Ware is a sure fire start heading into Week 2 even at his elevated price. Some will be scared off due to his new price tag coupled with his less than desirable match up. I'm firing him up once again.
CJ Anderson ($6800)
Indy +6
Denver 45.5
Anderson proved in Week 1 he is the undeniable starter in Denver. Devontae Booker helped the decision process by fumbling away his first opportunity as a pro. Anderson sliced through a strong Carolina defense for 20/92/1 on the ground and another 4/47/1 through the air. The Broncos will remain content with allowing the ground game dictate their outcome while Trevor Siemian continues to grow as an NFL passer. The Lions used several different RB's against the Colts defense in Week 1. They all had relative success. Anderson could be in for one of the larger performances in Week 2. If you are looking to spend some extra cash in Week 2 at RB, look no further than Anderson.
David Johnson ($7600)
Tamp Bay +6.5
Arizona 50.5
Johnson is the most expensive RB on the board this week. TB gave up over 320 yards to Matt Ryan but held the Falons running game in check. In years past, you would expect the Cardinals to get out to a hot start and allow Johnson to milk away the clock. I do not think this is the same Tampa team who often would roll over early in the game. I would exercise caution with Johnson due to his high price though his versatility in the passing game makes him very attractive in the PPR format Draft Kings offers.
I answer any and all fantasy/DFS questions
