  "account": "In Week 2 of the NFL season, fantasy football managers are faced with decisions on which wide receivers to start and which to sit. DJ Moore, playing for the Buffalo Bills, is a top choice to start. Despite facing a strong Texans defense last week, Moore excelled and is expected to do so again against the Lions, who struggled against Tyler Shough last week. Davante Adams, from the Los Angeles Rams, is another start candidate. Although the Rams started poorly last week, with Stafford and Adams targeted, they have the potential to seek revenge against the Giants, who allow a high number of fantasy points to receivers. Ja Marr Chase, for the Cincinnati Bengals, is one receiver to sit out. While his talent is evident, Chase had a poor Week 1 performance, facing a formidable Texans defense. Parker Washington, of the Jacksonville Jaguars, is another player to consider sitting. Despite his impressive Week 1 performance against the Browns, Washington will likely face an elite Broncos defense and Patrick Surtain this week. Lastly, DK Metcalf, from the Pittsburgh Steelers, and Marvin Harrison Jr., of the Arizona Cardinals, are not recommended for starting. Metcalf had an inefficient season last year with Aaron Rodgers and continued that trend in Week 1, while Harrison Jr. has faced fewer targets compared to his career average with quarterback Jacoby Brissett.",
