Budda Baker was excellent in Week 2, racking up seven solos, four assists, one sack, one tackle for loss, and one pass defended. Hamilton has been on a throwback swing for the first two weeks of the season, chipping in 1.5 sacks to go with at least four solos per game. Baker remains a DB2 option, but this is a reminder that he is someone who can lead your team in points at the position, or at all the IDP slots on your roster, on any given week. Count him as a top-20 option for Week 3.
