Fantasy Football 2018, Week 2 rankings: Who to Start and Sit
By Jon Dove
Start: Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers all of a sudden have a high flying offensive attack. They obviously have plenty of weapons, but nobody saw Ryan Fitzpatrick having such a successful first week of the season.
Fitzpatrick under center is good news for Mike Evans. This duo has a strong connection with Fitzpatrick trusting Evans enough to force the ball into coverage.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a very talented defense and will make things difficult on Fitzpatrick. However, he’s a gunslinger who won’t let turnovers or a few stalled drives stop him from attacking.
Sit: Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
@ Pittsburgh Steelers
Tyreek Hill makes me as nervous as a fantasy player as he does opposing defenses. He is obviously one of the most explosive players in the NFL and a major threat to score every time he touches the ball.
However, he can be big-play dependent which means there will be a few weeks where he doesn’t give you much as a fantasy owner.
This week the Chiefs head to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers who are looking to bounce back. Pittsburgh has a solid all-around defense and will focus on keeping Hill under wraps. The Steelers should be able to put more pressure on Patrick Mahomes than the Chargers did.
