Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Many starts and sits are obvious too, so we will instead focus on fringe options in this column, the ones that take real thought. Good luck with your Week 2 lineups!
Start: Isaiah Likely
Expect a nice bounce back game from Mark Andrews, but he and Likely can both remain top 10 fantasy tight ends this season. Likely is the real deal and was able to post an 8-88-1 line with Andrews on the field last week. Moreover, Baltimore used 12-personnel more than 50% of the snaps in Week 1, when Andrews and Likely had 39 plays together (their season-high in a game last year was 16). Likely suddenly looks like a weekly fantasy start regardless of Andrews’ health.
Sit Zamir White, who got out-snapped and out-produced by Alexander Mattison last week and gets a tough matchup Sunday (Las Vegas has a league-low 16.5-point implied team total).
Start: J.K. Dobbins
Few players saw their fantasy value increase more than Dobbins in Week 1. He led the league in rush yards over expectation, while Gus Edwards was bottom five. Despite being caught from behind on two different would-be long touchdowns, Dobbins tied for the fastest RB ballcarrier speed. He also saw work in the passing game and owns the highest explosive run rate (9.4%) among all running backs since entering the league in 2020.
The Panthers gave up the sixth most fantasy points to RBs last year and just lost the team’s best defensive player Derrick Brown. Sustainability may eventually become a problem for Dobbins while returning from Achilles surgery, so an opportunity to trade high could present itself after another big Week 2 performance.
Start: Dak Prescott
Prescott is coming off a tough matchup but belongs in fantasy lineups back in Dallas in Week 2. He got 8.6 YPA at home last year (compared to 6.8 on the road), averaging 308.8 passing yards with a 22:3 TD:INT ratio over eight games. New Orleans’ major increase in pre-snap motion could keep…
