Week 2 Waiver Wire: Quincy Enunwa, Davante Adams Highlight Pickups to Know
- Updated: September 12, 2016
Win or lose in season debuts, the wisest fantasy football owners have already moved on to the waiver wire in an effort to improve.
The Week 2 waiver wire doesn’t have as many flashy big names as it has in the past. Big-name players shouldn’t influence how seriously an owner takes the tool, though, as there are plenty of worthwhile adds out there.
Whether it’s a rookie showing up in a big way or an unknown name coming out of the woodwork to play a big role and produce notable fantasy value, this week’s wire still has something of note for every owner.

Sam Bradford has two career games with at least 275 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT and 100+ QB rating.Carson Wentz just did that in his first start.

Wentz makes for a great stash add right now. He’ll have his rookie struggles, but it’s clear predictable matchups with solid production will exist this season.
