Fantasy Football Week 2 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em

Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Note that some players are targeted for DFS. Good luck with your Week 2 lineups!

Start: Luke Musgrave, Tyler Allgeier

Musgrave led all Packers in routes run in Week 1, when he could’ve led all fantasy tight ends in scoring had Jordan Love not overthrown him downfield, or if he hadn’t fallen after a long catch right before the end zone. He still finished with the second-most YPRR among tight ends, and Christian Watson remains limited by a hamstring injury. Jordan Love looked great, and the Packers get a Falcons defense that allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends last season.

Allgeier is going to have some down fantasy weeks when game scripts don’t cooperate, but he gets another favorable matchup Sunday with the Falcons home favorites. Allgeier saw 100% of Atlanta’s carries inside the five in Week 1, and he gets a run-funnel Green Bay defense Sunday. The Falcons have easily the lowest pass rate over expectation (-12.5%) in the league, so expect another run-heavy approach.

Start in DFS: Josh Jacobs ($27), James Cook ($21)

Jacobs once again acted as the Raiders’ workhorse in Week 1, getting the second-most usage in the league. He’ll be relied on heavily once again this week with Jakobi Meyers out with a concussion. Buffalo struggled against the run throughout the preseason and allowed the second-most EPA/rush in Week 1. Game script likely won’t be favorable, but Jacobs is set for another heavy workload on a slate with few standouts at running back.

Cook didn’t have a huge box score in Week 1 but saw encouraging usage like he did in the preseason. The Jets’ defense is one of the best in the league, and almost all of Cook’s yardage came after contact. He had a healthy route share and saw six targets — a number Devin Singletary reached just five times across 37 games with Buffalo.

Cook also led all running backs in average depth of target, so the only…
