Bryce Young has been identified by CBS Sports as an intriguing quarterback waiver target ahead of Week 2 after what the publication describes as a strong Week 1 performance.

CBS Sports’ recommendations focus on players rostered in fewer than 65 per cent of its leagues, while also flagging some options available in shallower competitions. The material supplied does not include Young’s statistics, team, opponent or suggested roster percentage.

Quarterback injuries involving Kyler Murray, Sam Darnold and Tua Tagovailoa are expected to affect fantasy decisions, particularly in Superflex and two-quarterback formats. Murray and Darnold are listed as potential drop candidates in some one-quarterback leagues.

The waiver discussion also covers injuries among wide receivers, running backs and tight ends. Jordan Love, Tyler Shough, Woody Marks, Chris Rodriguez Jr., Matthew Golden, Jalen Coker and Juwan Johnson are among the other players highlighted by CBS Sports.

The publication cautions that player availability, roles and injury outcomes may change with practice updates. Its recommendations are dependent on league format, roster availability and the developments leading into Week 2.
