Fantasy: Trading Post - The seas will part for Keenan Allen

Jake Roth / Reuters

A litany of injuries throughout the league marred Week 2 of the NFL season, and it has fantasy football owners scrambling to fill out their rosters for the coming week.

Here's a look at players worth targeting in trades this week, and others who might be worth selling off.

Ben Roethlisberger

Week 2 line: 22-of-37, 217 yards, INT

Not only did Big Ben lay an egg in prime time, but owners had to stare at his ugly point total throughout the weekend. 

Roethlisberger is on the fringe of QB1 status in 12-team leagues, and a weekly must-start in two-quarterback formats. After his poor performance on Thursday, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Steelers' quarterback pop up on the waiver wire in shallow leagues.

Roethlisberger is a prime bye week replacement, as he can cover any quarterback that isn't Cam Newton. He also has some favorable matchups on tap, as he and the Steelers are poised to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 5 and the Cleveland Browns in Week 6, followed by a trio of home games. VERDICT: BUY

Jay Cutler

Week 2 line: 23-of-34, 176 yards, 4 TDs, 25 rushing yards

Owners need to get far away from this messy situation while the going is still good. 

The main attraction to Cutler in fantasy drafts was that he has the best 1-2 wide receiving duo in the league at his disposal, but he was reportedly pretty darn close to playing without either of those guys on Sunday night.

Alshon Jeffery was a shell of his former self against the 49ers, reduced to the role of decoy, and while Brandon Marshall did bring in three touchdown passes, he was clearly bothered by a wonky ankle.

There's some time to wait on this one. The Bears have a pair of quarterback-friendly matchups on deck against the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers. Just remember that Cutler hasn't played a full 16-game schedule since 2009. VERDICT: SELL

Knowshon Moreno

Week 2 line: 1 carry, 4 yards

Jamaal Charles owners are going to get bombarded by trade offers this week. More astute owners would be wise to target a different injured running back.

It's become clear that the Dolphins are prepared to give Moreno plenty of run after he received 24 totes in Week 1's win over the New England Patriots. Concerns over the offensive line's pass protection haven't translated to the running game, as Dolphins running backs have averaged five yards per carry through two games.

After going off the board at the end of the eighth round on average in standard leagues, Moreno owners likely have a couple guys in front of him to begin with, and may want the bench space. They may have moved him into their lineup after his solid opening performance, and those in non-fractional leagues would have been dealt a goose egg. VERDICT: BUY

Zac Stacy

Week 2 line: 19 carries, 71 yards, TD

Rams head coach Jeff Fisher likes his bell cows, but at some point he has to figure out he's banging his head against the wall with Stacy.

The sophomore back averages less than four yards per carry for his career, and has done just that in each of the first two games of the season.

Stacy's attraction is all about usage. He doesn't do a lot with his carries, but he gets a lot of them. After taking over as the team's lead back in Week 5 last season, the Vanderbilt product received 20 or more touches in seven of his final 10 games. 

This year, the Rams don't figure to lead games very often, which means they'll be getting away from the ground game, and Stacy certainly hasn't been a big player in the passing game. He also has Benny Cunningham breathing down his neck, and his leash got a little bit shorter when he lost a fumble Sunday. VERDICT: SELL

Keenan Allen

Week 2 line: 5 receptions, 55 yards, 6 targets

There were plenty of questions in the offseason as to whether or not Allen can duplicate his stellar rookie season. Historically, second-year wide receivers that performed as well as Allen did as a rookie haven't been able to repeat the same level of success as sophomores.

And that's exactly what savvy players should be telling Allen owners.

Through two games, Allen has been held to only 92 yards and zero touchdowns. He's also drawn two of the toughest assignments in that time - Patrick Peterson and Richard Sherman. The schedule softens for him moving forward. The Chargers visit Buffalo this week, followed by games against the Jaguars, Jets, and Raiders. VERDICT: BUY

DeAndre Hopkins

Week 2 line: 3 receptions, 22 yards, TD, 5 targets

Hopkins looked like he could be a good sleeper pick in drafts this summer while fellow wideout Andre Johnson was mired in a dispute with the Texans' front office.

Now that both players are on the field, it's clear who the big man in town is. Hopkins has drawn 10 targets to Johnson's 16 through two games in a Texans offense that has avoided throwing the football at all costs.

Hopkins has a pair of touchdowns on the young season, so this may be as good a time as any to cut bait and sell high in re-draft formats. VERDICT: SELL

Travis Kelce

Week 2 line: 4 receptions, 81 yards, 6 targets

All the headlines go to Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz, but Kelce has some serious breakout potential as well.

A third-round selection out of Cincinnati in 2013, Kelce missed the majority of his rookie season with a knee injury, but has made the most of his opportunities since returning, hauling in seven of his 11 targets for 130 yards - an average of 18.6 yards per reception.

With Dwayne Bowe back in the lineup to draw the focus of opposing defenses, Kelce should be able to pick up significant yardage over the middle. VERDICT: BUY

Delanie Walker

Week 2 line: 10 receptions, 142 yards, TD, 14 targets

Walker was a lightning rod for targets in Week 2, attracting 14 of them against a porous Cowboys defense.

Unfortunately for Walker, he and the Titans won't get to face the Cowboys every week. His line from Week 1 - three catches on five targets - seems more in line with what can be expected from Walker going forward. With touchdowns in each of his first two games, opposing owners desperate for production at the tight end spot might be willing to pay a pretty penny for the former Mule's services. VERDICT: SELL
