Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Week 2: QB Edition
After throwing for only 175 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and throwing an interception, he posted just 15.4 points
Week 2 in the NFL presents an opportunity to recover from Week 1 losses in fantasy football leagues. While some players may have disappointed, others will rebound with strong performances, such as Matthew Stafford. This week, focus on identifying trustworthy players and those to avoid. Start by selecting Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys, who aims to bounce back against the Washington Commanders.
After a below-average performance last week, look for an improvement in Prescott's point production. Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers, facing the Miami Dolphins, is also a strong start option. Purdy should perform well against the Dolphins, who might not put up a strong showing. Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams should be kept in the lineup despite his one-game rough patch; the Rams' improved defense and Stafford's strong comeback potential make him a safe pick.
Malik Willis of the Miami Dolphins and Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions are players to sit. Willis' contract and lack of outside weapons make him a risky choice against the 49ers. Goff faces heavy pressure in Buffalo, and their first game at the new stadium may not be conducive to a strong performance. Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers is questionable this week, and his recent loss to the Arizona Cardinals may have shaken his confidence. Consider sitting him for Week 2 as the Raiders look to rebound under a new coach.
