Week 2 should be a lot better for Fantasy Football owners after an up and down Week 1.

Week 1 of the Fantasy Football season has come and gone. Like every other year, we don’t get to dwell on our losses or celebrate our wins for long as it is already onto Week 2. For many first-round selections, it will be a week to show they were worth the pick after the likes of Ezekiel Elliott, Derrick Henry, and Davante Adams all underperformed to expectations in Week 1.

Unfortunately, they don’t necessarily fit the mold to be considered starts or sits. They are must-starts and will be all season long, leaving this writer to have to find the best options once again. We can’t win them all, as noted in the first week of starts and sits. The must-start of Raheem Mostert instantly cost owners when his knee took him out of action after the first quarter, resulting in Elijah Mitchell rushing for over 100 yards.

Then there are the sits who shocked everyone, specifically Ja’Marr Chase. After what was seemingly a training camp and preseason of nothing but bad news, the rookie receiver came out in Week 1 with the game to show everyone why he was worth the first pick. No one saw that coming so fast. As a result, we learn and grow from this moving forward as we have a better idea of how some teams will look and what defenses are going to fold against our hopeful fantasy studs.

Fantasy Football continues on: Here are the best start/sit picks of Week 2

It’s time we help fix those misfortunes from Week 1 for some owners while keeping the winning ways going for others. There are a lot of great matchups for the stars of the Fantasy Football world so for those looking to find waiver wire adds of bench players who could provide you massive weeks, you have come to the right place. Let’s take a look at the Week 2 starts and sits.

Note: Star players like Dalvin Cook and Travis Kelce will not be featured in these starts and sits.
