"At various points during the fantasy football season, injuries, bye weeks and breaking news can cause you to need reinforcements for your fantasy lineup. Every Friday throughout the 2025 NFL season, Matt Bowen will offer up some late-week pickup options to help fill those holes, with an emphasis on deeper leagues. Because of that, this column will focus mostly on players rostered in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, with occasional exceptions."
"Rodgers erased some questions on his scheme fit in Arthur Smith's offense after throwing four touchdowns in the Week 1 win over the Jets. Rodgers was really efficient with the ball (22 of 30 passing), and Smith moved the pocket on boot schemes to give his quarterback more clean throwing platforms. I don't expect Rodgers to drop another 25-point game this week, but the combination of play-action and quick-game concepts work here against the Seattle defense."
The focus is mostly on players rostered in less than 50% of ESPN leagues, with occasional exceptions. As Week 2 approaches, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is doubtful to play Sunday with shoulder and toe injuries. The column highlights a pair of signal-callers with streaming appeal who performed well in Week 1. Rodgers threw four touchdowns in a Week 1 win and completed 22 of 30 passes while Arthur Smith used boot schemes to create clean throwing platforms. Penix scored 24.02 points in Week 1 against the Bucs and rushed for 21 yards and a touchdown.
