Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and fantasy football start em sit em week 2.
Quarterbacks: Who's Calling the Shots?
Start 'Em: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Listen up, Bills Mafia! QB1 is back and better than ever. Josh Allen was an absolute beast in Week 1, throwing for 270 yards and a TD, while also rushing for 56 yards and another score. This week, he faces off against the Miami Dolphins, who just gave up 400+ passing yards to Tyrod Taylor. Allen is a must-start in all formats.
Sit 'Em: Jameis Winston, New Orleans Saints
Sorry to break it to you, Jameis Winston truthers, but the Saints' new QB isn't quite ready to take over the fantasy world. He had a decent enough debut, but he's facing off against the Carolina Panthers this week. Carolina's defense held Matt Ryan to just 209 yards and a TD last week. It's best to keep Winston on your bench for now.
Running Backs: Carrying the Load
Start 'Em: Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
Rookies usually don't make a huge splash in their debuts, but Najee Harris was an exception. He carried the ball 16 times for 45 yards and caught 5 passes for 43 yards. This week, he faces off against the Las Vegas Raiders, who just gave up 100+ rushing yards to Jonathan Taylor. Harris is a must-start in all formats.
Sit 'Em: Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team
Gibson had a disappointing Week 1, carrying the ball just 8 times for 31 yards. To make matters worse, he's facing off against the New York Giants this week, who held Saquon Barkley to just 26 yards on 10 carries. It's best to keep Gibson on your bench until he proves he's still a reliable RB1.
Wide Receivers: Catching Fire
Start 'Em: D.K. Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks
D.K. Metcalf is back and better than ever, catching 4 passes for 98 yards and a TD in Week 1. This week, he faces off against the Tennessee Titans, who just gave up 149 receiving yards to the Arizona Cardinals' WRs. Metcalf is a must-start in all formats.
Sit 'Em: Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
Tee Higgins had a quiet Week 1, catching just 3 passes for 23 yards. To make matters worse, he's facing off against the Chicago Bears this week, who held Davante Adams to just 36 yards last week. It's best to keep Higgins on your bench until he proves he's still a reliable WR2.
Tight Ends: Blocking the Middle
Start 'Em: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Travis Kelce is always a must-start, but this week he's facing off against the Baltimore Ravens, who just gave up 100+ receiving yards to the Las Vegas Raiders' TEs. Kelce is a no-brainer start in all formats.
Sit 'Em: Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys
Dalton Schultz had a decent Week 1, catching 4 passes for 44 yards. However, he's facing off against the Los Angeles Chargers this week, who held the Washington Football Team's TEs to just 15 yards last week. It's best to keep Schultz on your bench until he proves he's a reliable TE1.
Defenses: Stopping the Offense
Start 'Em: Pittsburgh Steelers Defense
The Steelers' defense held the Cincinnati Bengals to just 10 points in Week 1. This week, they face off against the Las Vegas Raiders, who just gave up 5 sacks and 2 INTs to the Philadelphia Eagles. The Steelers' D is a must-start in all formats.
Sit 'Em: Denver Broncos Defense
The Broncos' defense had a rough Week 1, giving up 37 points to the New York Giants. This week, they face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who just scored 37 points against the Houston Texans. It's best to keep the Broncos' D on your bench until they prove they're a reliable fantasy option.
And there you have it, folks! Our comprehensive Week 2 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em guide. Remember, the key to fantasy football success is staying one step ahead of the competition. So, keep an eye on those injury reports and weather forecasts, and make sure to make any necessary adjustments to your lineup.
