Fantasy football start or sit Week 2: DK Metcalf, Drake London, DeVonta Smith

Week 2 has arrived in the NFL, and it's time to make crucial decisions for your fantasy football lineup. Wide receivers DK Metcalf, Drake London, and DeVonta Smith are all in need of attention. While London and Smith showed lackluster performances in Week 1, Metcalf remains a consistent producer despite his inconsistent past.

For DeVonta Smith, who is now without A.J. Brown, our advice is to start him with confidence against a vulnerable Tennessee Titans defense. Smith has the potential to have a breakout season, so don't overreact to just one game. Verdict: Start.

DK Metcalf had a subpar showing in Week 1 with only four catches for 40 yards. However, with the Patriots allowing the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers, Metcalf could see a surge in targets. Adding to that, Michael Pittman Jr. is out, making Metcalf even more essential. He may face some coverage from Christian Gonzalez, but won't be shadowed, so we believe Metcalf will bounce back in Week 2. Verdict: Start.

As for Drake London, who is a WR1 and every-week starter, there is some doubt about his standing this week due to Cooper Rush starting again. London struggled last week with Rush under center, but despite that, he still had two catches for 29 yards and one carry for six yards. London is too valuable to sit, so you should keep him in your lineup. Verdict: Start.
