Earlier this year, we introduced Fantasy Wins Added and the Fantasy Gradebook — two concepts that I hope revolutionize the way we value players in fantasy football and measure success.
With Week 2 in the books, let’s take a look at the leaders.
You can access the full Fantasy Gradebook and Fantasy Wins Added tool here, available to FTN Platinum subscribers. Use code PEACHES to save 20%!
Week 2 Leaders in Fantasy Wins Added: Fantasy Football MVPs
Stefon Diggs stole the show in Week 2, racking up 0.36 Fantasy Wins Added.
Player | Pos | Team | Wins Added |
Stefon Diggs | WR | BUF | 0.36 |
Tyreek Hill | WR | MIA | 0.33 |
Jaylen Waddle | WR | MIA | 0.31 |
Amon-Ra St. Brown | WR | DET | 0.3 |
Lamar Jackson | QB | BLT | 0.27 |
This was a massive week in terms of game-breaking performances, with four players registered 0.30 Fantasy Wins Added or more.
In all, of the 30 most valuable players in fantasy football in Week 1, we had:
Position | # in the top 30 most valuable |
Wide Receiver | 17 |
Quarterback | 7 |
Running Back | 4 |
Tight End | 2 |
This was a dramatic difference compared to Week 1, which had 12 RBs rank in the top 30 most valuable. Only two running backs ranked in the top 20.
Week 2 Fantasy Football Grades
Last week, only four players earned an “A+” grade. This week, eight players earned the high mark, again showing that Week 2 was much more top-heavy:
Player | Pos | Team | Final Grade | Opportunity Grade | Efficiency Grade | Flex Grade | Year | Week |
Stefon Diggs | WR | BUF | 100 | 98 | 80 | 100 | 2022 | 2 |
Lamar Jackson | QB | BLT | 100 | 88 | 95 | 2022 | 2 | |
Nick Chubb | RB | CLV | 100 | 88 | 94 | 94 | 2022 | 2 |
Mark Andrews | TE | BLT | 100 | 94 | 88 | 91 | 2022 | 2 |
Aaron Jones | RB | GB | 100 | 82 | 100 | 94 | 2022 | 2 |
Tyreek Hill | WR | MIA | 98 | 86 | 91 | 99 | 2022 | 2 |
Tua Tagovailoa | QB | MIA | 97 | 96 | 91 | 2022 | 2 | |
Jaylen Waddle | WR | MIA | 97 | 100 | 75 | 98 | 2022 | 2 |
(Whoever scores the most points at their position in a given week earns a 100 Final Grade. Every other player at their position is judged based on the No. 1 performance.)
We also had three players earn an “A” this week:
Player | Pos | Team | Final Grade | Opportunity Grade | Efficiency Grade | Flex Grade | Year | Week |
Amon-Ra St. Brown | WR | DET | 97 | 94 | 81 | 97 | 2022 | 2 |
Cooper Kupp | WR | LA | 94 | 94 | 76 | 95 | 2022 | 2 |
Jalen Hurts | QB | PHI | 93 | 73 | 100 | 2022 | 2 |
(Amon-Ra St. Brown technically scored a 96.8, which is why he’s in the “A” group and not “A+” group, but either way, he crushed in Week 2.)
Four other players earned an A-, bringing our grand total of players who earned a grade of 90 or higher up to 15 on the week.
Here’s the full grading breakdown this week. Check out the full chart to see where your players stacked up.
Grade | # of Players |
A | 15 |
B | 57 |
C | 136 |
D | 64 |
