Start:

Tom Brady, TB, vs. CAR

Tom Brady’s debut for Tampa Bay was far from perfect. It was pretty hideous at times. From a fantasy perspective, his 20.46 showing was saved on the back of a rushing touchdown and garbage touchdown to Mike Evans at the end of the game.

Still, the showing wasn’t too bad considering the two ugly interceptions and lack of yards. In Week 2 as a Buc, expect Brady to have his coming out party against a sorry Carolina Panthers defense.

Jimmy Garoppolo, SF, @ NYJ

The 49ers were stunned at home by Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals. In that game, Jimmy Garoppolo had a decent game recording 19.26 points. With a matchup against the New York Jets ahead, expect him to be the top streaming option at the position this week.

Sit:

Carson Wentz, PHI, vs. LAR

Carson Wentz and his Philadelphia Eagles started off hot on Sunday before completely shutting down. Add in that he got sacked a whopping eight times by the Washington Football Team and you begin to have a concern.

Now, he is set to face Aaron Donald and the Los Angeles Rams, who kept Dak Prescott and the talented Cowboys offense in check. Fade him another week.

Joe Burrow, CIN, @ CLE

Joe Burrow showed some real signs in his debut on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. If it were his running ability or chemistry with A.J. Green, it was a welcoming sign that he could be fantasy relevant all season.

Don’t get too excited yet, however, as the Cleveland Browns should present a tough matchup for him on Thursday night.
