Week 2 is almost upon us, and Bob Lung brings you his Week 1 One-Week Wonders and answers the question: Can We Trust Them?
Each week, I’m bringing you the prior week’s one-week wonders, and we are going to track this all year! Why? We want to see how many of these one-week wonders stay consistent.
Last year, we tracked these One-Week Wonders for the entire season, and their Consistency Rating AFTER their breakout was only 23.69%.
So, be careful dropping too much FAAB money on some of these players.
Since it’s only Week 1, there isn’t much to track just yet, so I’m sharing my thoughts on their performance and whether I believe this can continue.
One-Week Wonders – Do We Trust Them? – 9/16/2026 – NFL Football Week 2
QB – Bryce Young – #3 overall – 31.30 points
This is a nice start to Bryce Young’s 2026 season. The question is: Is it attainable on a weekly basis? The answer to that question is another question: Are the Panthers going to give up 59 points every week? The answer is certainly NO. However, the Panthers’ run defense appears horrible. The Panthers travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. I’m not expecting another shootout, so let’s temper expectations for this coming week.

RB – Devin Singletary – #20 overall – 13.80 points
Honestly, there were not many running backs this week who earned a Clutch Game and weren’t on a 12-team league roster. Kyle Monangai was probably the second closest. Singletary surprised many by scoring a touchdown and catching four passes this past weekend. Skattebo is certainly the starter, but the Giants are playing it smart to keep him fresh during the game. I put in waiver claims for Singletary in a few of my leagues. He’s certainly a solid flex player for deep leagues.
WR – Devaughn Vele – #10 overall – 19.90 points
This was another desperation comeback game by the Saints, who were down 21-0 at one point. With Jordyn Tyson out, Vele showed he was a great #2 receiver on this team. I like his value moving forward, and the Saints’ defense appears to be very forgiving to opponents. The Saints travel to Baltimore this week, so I expect another struggle to stay competitive, which will keep Vele’s value high.

TE – Mike Gesicki – #4 overall – 18.80 points
I can guarantee that Gesicki showed up on last year’s One Week Wonder report at some point. This year, he’s there at the start of the season. The fact that he outscored Ja’Marr Chase AND Tee Higgins combined is enough to highlight his accomplishment this week. Will it continue? Doubtful. I’ll leave him for someone else.
