Watch List — Week 2
2026 snap shares and PPR points through week 2 — who gained a role, who lost one, and whose usage is ahead of his scoring
How this week's list is built
Every skill player with a week 2 snap-count row is screened. Snap risers gained 15+ share points versus week 1; snap fallers lost 15+ share points. Usage ahead of points and points ahead of usage compare a player's season-to-date role (snap-share percentile, averaged with his targets, carries or attempts percentile when Next Gen Stats has him) against his season-to-date PPR points-per-game percentile, within his position, among RB/WR/TEs averaging at least 30% of snaps (quarterbacks all play every snap, so they only appear in the snap screens).
Chips: SECURE top of the depth chart, no premium rookie added · ROOKIE PRESSURE still #1 but a round 1–2 pick arrived · BEHIND N not the listed starter · OFF CHART not on any depth chart. Editions are frozen when published, so earlier weeks keep the lists they were published with.
