Week 2 Fantasy Start/Sit: Usage, Matchups and TE Injuries Drive New Calls

Week 1 usage patterns alongside defensive matchups steer lineup decisions for the second week.

Overview

  • Analysts emphasize prioritizing snap share, target volume and opponent tendencies over name value when setting Week 2 lineups.
  • At tight end, Tyler Warren is flagged as a must-start and Hunter Henry offers a safe floor, while George Kittle is on IR until at least Week 6 and Brock Bowers is cleared as fine for this week.
  • Travis Etienne Jr. profiles as an RB1 with Tank Bigsby traded and a strong dual-threat role against Cincinnati.
  • Breece Hall is recommended as an RB1 versus Buffalo based on prior production, while D’Andre Swift and Isiah Pacheco are advised sits due to concerning Week 1 usage.
  • Trey Benson emerges as an ascending flex option after efficient production that could earn a larger role if it continues.
