Another week, another round of crucially important start/sit decisions. To help you make them, I’m highlighting six players with bust potential in Week 2.
Something to keep in mind as you’re reading: a “fade” or “bust” designation doesn’t automatically mean you should sit a player, depending on the depth of the rest of your roster or available options on your waiver wire.
It was a solid Week 1 debut for second-year QB C.J. Stroud, as he threw two touchdowns and no interceptions — both of them going to new Texans captain, WR Stefon Diggs. There’s no doubt he has the chance to continue on that streak of efficiency in Week 2 given the talent surrounding him at wide receiver, but a matchup against the Bears has me looking elsewhere if I’m seeking a high-upside play in Week 2.
The Bears have perhaps one of the more underrated secondaries in the league right now (and defenses in general), with star cornerback Jaylon Johnson at the center of it all, FA signing Kevin Byard at safety and Tremaine Edmunds — a capable linebacker in coverage who posted four interceptions (including one pick-six) just last season.
For as many weapons as the Texans have, the Bears could match up pretty well to slow them down, which has me tempering expectations for Stroud in Week 2.
Heat check 🔥 Stroud is nearly impossible to sit with the personnel he’s working with, but even at home, the Bears defense could give this offense some trouble, lowering his projected ceiling in Week 2.

Though White saw 72.2% of the running back rush attempts in Week…
