Week 2 is always fun because you get to see who overreacts to what happened in Week 1. Fantasy managers love to panic, but you shouldn't rush to judgment after one game. Relax.
For example, you should remain confident in Ja'Marr Chase, Colston Loveland and Jaylen Waddle, among others. As long as they are healthy, they should perform at a high level for the majority of the season.
On the other hand, there's reason for concern for Drake Maye and Justin Herbert since both quarterbacks could be without their best receivers. Maye won't have A.J. Brown (ankle) for at least the next four games, and Herbert could be without Ladd McConkey (ribs) in Week 2.
I also hope the Falcons get Cooper Rush off the field in favor of Michael Penix Jr. (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique). Either quarterback is a boost for Drake London and Kyle Pitts, but you should downgrade both in Week 2 against Carolina if Rush starts again.
There are plenty of other examples, pro and con, of how to react to what happened in Week 1. Just remember that bad games happen. Great players aren't always great for every performance.
It just stings a little more when one of your stars struggles in Week 1. We're all fired up for the start of the season, and then you get a dud -- or worse, an injury -- and it's a depressing feeling.
Thankfully, Week 2 is here. You got the chance to alter your lineup with the waiver wire or maybe a trade. Hopefully, your team is ready to go.
We also hope your best players deliver a solid outing, especially if they struggled in Week 1. But just be prepared for more letdowns. It's a long season, and even if you fall to 0-2, you'll be OK. You can still recover and make the playoffs and compete for a championship.
As always, we're here to help with the starts and sits that you need. So let's get to it. Week 2 is here. And it's going to be a lot of fun

He was 23-of-28 passing for 216 yards, no touchdowns or interceptions, and he added 30 rushing yards and a touchdown -- with three fumbles. He should rebound in Week 2 against Cleveland in a revenge game. Mayfield spent the first four seasons of his career with the Browns, and he should beat them up in Tampa Bay's home opener. Mayfield averaged 20.4 Fantasy points at home last season, and Cleveland just allowed Trevor Lawrence to pass for 245 yards and four touchdowns in Week 1. I like Mayfield as a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in Week 2. START 'EM & SIT 'EM Quarterbacks QBs to Start Projections powered by Sportsline

Lawrence faced Denver during that stretch in Week 16 and was 23-of-36 passing for 279 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions, along with 20 rushing yards and a touchdown for 37.2 Fantasy points. Mahomes just scored 25.7 Fantasy points against the Broncos in Week 1, and Lawrence should produce a solid stat line in Week 2.

In the first game without Josh Jacobs (Commissioner's Exempt List), Love attempted 42 passes, and we love when Love is throwing a lot. He might not throw as much in Week 2 at the Jets, but I still trust Love to have success against this defense. He has top-10 upside in Week 2.

He dismantled Dallas with his arms and legs, and he should stay hot against the Rams, who are without Myles Garrett (knee). We'll see if Aaron Donald makes his return from retirement in this game, but the Rams just allowed Brock Purdy to score 27.1 Fantasy points in Week 1. I like Dart as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues. Sleepers (Start/Sit) Projections powered by Sportsline 
Jared Goff QB DET Detroit • #16
Age: 31 • Experience: 11 year Goff underwhelmed as the Start of the Week in Week 1 against the Saints with 20.4 Fantasy points, but he played well with 26-of-39 passes for 206 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. This week, Goff should be in a shootout with Josh Allen in Buffalo, and the Bills just allowed C.J. Stroud to pass for 274 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. I like Goff as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues. 
Tyler Shough QB NO New Orleans • #6
Age: 26 • Experience: 2 yrs. Shough probably won't attempt 56 passes like he did in Week 1 at Detroit in an overtime loss, but he should still throw a lot at Baltimore in Week 2. He scored 29.2 Fantasy points against the Lions, and Shough has now scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in six of his past seven games, going back to last season. The Ravens held Daniel Jones to just 11.1 Fantasy points in Week 1, but I expect Shough to challenge this defense. He's worth using as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy quarterback in all leagues. 
Bryce Young QB CAR Carolina • #9
Age: 25 • Experience: 4 yrs. The last two times Young went to Atlanta, he combined for 699 passing yards, six touchdowns and no interceptions and six carries for 23 yards and two touchdowns. He scored at least 37.8 Fantasy points in each outing. Young just scored 37.4 Fantasy points in Week 1 against Chicago and is worth using as a starter in deeper leagues.

He scored 7.4 Fantasy points, and he could have another tough outing in Week 2 against Jacksonville. Nix only scored 17.2 Fantasy points against the Jaguars in Week 16 last year despite throwing for 352 yards, but he had one touchdown, one interception and a fumble in that game. Nix is only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

One of those games was at Seattle in Week 10 last year when Brissett was 22-of-44 passing for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, along with four carries for 31 yards and two fumbles. He was sacked five times in that game, and I expect him to be under heavy pressure in this matchup again. He's a solid starter in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, but I'm not ready to use Brissett in one-quarterback leagues yet.

Willis had 16.7 Fantasy points in his Dolphins debut at Las Vegas, and this will be a much tougher matchup. The good news is Willis did damage with his legs with 39 rushing yards and a touchdown. I also liked that he passed for 220 yards, but he had no touchdowns with an interception. I expect him to struggle against a healthy San Francisco defense on the road, and I would only start Willis in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

He was 19-of-31 passing for 166 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and he only ran for 4 yards. He might not improve much in Week 2 at Kansas City. The Chiefs just held Bo Nix to 7.4 Fantasy points in Week 1, and they should be able to keep Jones in check. That said, last year, Jones scored 20.8 Fantasy points at Kansas City in Week 12 with 19-of-31 passing for 181 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he added 16 rushing yards. I just don't have high expectations for Jones, and he's only worth using in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues. Bust Alert (Start/Sit) Projections powered by Sportsline

A.J. Brown (ankle) is out, and Maye has struggled in his past six starts, going back to last season. That stretch of games includes the playoffs and Week 1 at Seattle, so he was playing some of the best teams in the NFL, but he's averaging just 17.7 Fantasy points per game over that span. He also has just eight touchdowns compared to seven interceptions in those six games. Pittsburgh's defense wasn't tested last week by Cooper Rush, but the Steelers should keep Maye in check in Week 2 without Brown.

And the Patriots might be more conservative on offense against the Steelers with A.J. Brown (ankle) out and Drake Maye struggling. Stevenson didn't run well in Week 1 against the Seahawks with 18 carries for 51 yards, but he had five catches for 44 yards on six targets and scored 14.5 PPR points. He has now scored at least 12.1 PPR points in seven of his past eight games going back to last year.

We'll see what happens with Jonathon Brooks moving forward, but Hubbard played 71 percent of the snaps in Week 1 and finished with 10 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 38 yards and a touchdown on three targets. Brooks, meanwhile, played 19 percent of the snaps and had four carries for 14 yards and one catch for 48 yards on three targets. I like Hubbard as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues, and Brooks should be kept on your bench.

He just didn't play enough with 48 percent of the snaps, and George Holani had 46 percent of the snaps. Price will hopefully see his role increase in Week 2 against the Cardinals, who did a nice job against Omarion Hampton in Week 1, holding him to 8.3 PPR points. I'm expecting Seattle to lean on Price with Sam Darnold (hip) out, and I like Price as a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

He had 15 carries for 66 yards and one catch for 22 yards on one target and hopefully, Jacksonville saw what Kansas City just did to Denver's defense in Week 1. Kenneth Walker III and Emmett Johnson just combined for 31 carries for 197 yards and a touchdown and five catches for 62 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the Broncos, and I like Tuten as a low-end No. 2 running back in all leagues.

The Commanders recovered the ball, but Croskey-Merritt was replaced by rookie Katron Allen to close the game. I'm expecting Croskey-Merritt to keep his starting job, and he ran well against the Eagles with 16 carries for 63 yards and a touchdown and one catch for minus-7 yards on one target. He's not going to help you in the passing game, but the Cowboys just allowed Cam Skattebo to rush 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.

Jones has played the Bears 17 times in his career, and he's scored at least 10 PPR points in 14 of those outings while averaging 14.8 PPR points per game over that span.

I don't buy that New York's run defense is great just because the Jets shut down Tony Pollard, who only scored 4.4 PPR points in Week 1. I would use Lloyd as a flex option in all leagues. And, in deeper formats, you could use Christopher Brooks as a flex. Brooks had seven carries for 29 yards and no catches on one target against the Vikings, and he played 56 percent of the snaps.

D'Andre Swift also did well with 134 total yards and three touchdowns, and he remains the No. 1 running back in Chicago. That said, Monangai is worth using as a flex option in Week 2 against Minnesota.

He shared playing time with Christian McCaffrey, which was a surprise, but Black held his own against a tough Rams defense. This week, the 49ers should be able to dominate the Dolphins, who just allowed 30 carries for 143 yards against Ashton Jeanty and Mike Washington Jr. in Week 1.

He had no targets against San Francisco and won't be a factor in the passing game behind Kyren Williams, but Corum is still worth using as a flex option in Week 2 against the Giants.

Unfortunately, Cleveland will likely lean on Raheim Sanders or Jaleel McLaughlin to replace Sampson, and Judkins could be stuck in need of a touchdown to save his Fantasy production. He struggled in Week 1 against Jacksonville with 12 carries for 33 yards and two catches for 17 yards on two targets, and I'm not expecting a huge stat line for Judkins in Week 2. He's a flex option at best in most formats.

I don't love the matchup for either Pittsburgh running back this week against the Patriots. Defensive tackle Milton Williams is a beast, and opposing running backs have scored just two rushing touchdowns in the past 13 games he has played in the regular season, including Week 1 against Seattle.

The Jaguars just held Quinshon Judkins to 50 total yards and no touchdowns on 14 total touches in Week 1, and Jacksonville was No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs in 2025.

I'm hopeful that was part of the plan to ease Love back into action after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in the first preseason game, but that could continue in Week 2 against Seattle.

New York held CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in check in Week 1 as they combined for eight catches for 72 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets, but I'm expecting the Rams' passing game to perform well in this matchup.

Coker has now scored at least 14 PPR points in five of his past seven games going back to last season, and I like him as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Falcons.

Hopefully, we can see something positive from Jayden Reed as well, but he was quiet in Week 1 at Minnesota with three catches for 20 yards on seven targets. Watson went off for six catches, 147 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets, and Golden had six catches for 95 yards on 12 targets. He now has four games in his career with at least five targets, and he scored at least 11.3 PPR points in each outing. 
Deebo Samuel WR SF San Francisco • #19

All three did well against the Rams in Week 1. Samuel had six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and he added one carry for 12 yards. Evans had six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. And Robinson had two catches for 50 yards and a touchdown on three targets. Evans and Samuel are both worth starting in all leagues against the Dolphins, and Robinson is a good sleeper in deeper formats.

He had more targets combined than Terry McLaurin (four) and Antonio Williams (four), and Diggs might end up as the No. 1 receiver in Washington this season. I still like McLaurin as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in Week 2 at Dallas, and Williams is a good receiver to stash on your bench (he had four catches for 64 yards and a touchdown in Week 1). But Diggs is a borderline starter in all two-receiver leagues and a must-start option in three-receiver formats.

He now has at least six targets in four of his past five games going back to last season, and he has three games with at least 11.9 PPR points over that span. The Saints will likely be chasing points in Week 2 at Baltimore, and Vele should again be heavily involved from Tyler Shough. Vele, who is the most added player on CBS Sports leagues heading into Week 2, is worth starting in all three-receiver leagues against the Ravens.

If he's out then Johnston and Tre Harris will have larger roles, and I like both against the Raiders. Johnston would be a borderline starter in all formats, and he loves facing Las Vegas. He has 24 catches for 341 yards and three touchdowns in his past five meetings against the Raiders, and he has scored a touchdown or gone over 100 receiving yards in four of those outings. Harris is a good sleeper in deeper leagues since he should see a boost in targets if McConkey is out. Continue to monitor his status, and Johnston and Harris would benefit if McConkey can't play.

I don't expect Harrison to be third among that group moving forward, but it wasn't an ideal start. This week, Harrison has to face the Seahawks, and he did well against Seattle last year with at least 14.3 PPR points in each meeting, including two touchdowns. I hope he'll have another strong game against the Seahawks in Week 2, but I would only start him as a low-end option in three-receiver leagues.

I'm hoping we get a squeaky wheel game from Waddle, and he should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues. Sutton also struggled against the Chiefs with two catches for 11 yards on five targets, but he could have another down game against Jacksonville. It's clear Pat Bryant will have a bigger role this season, and Evan Engram will also steal targets from Sutton. Now, he did well against the Jaguars last season with six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets in Week 16, but it's doubtful he gets anywhere close to that many targets in Week 2. Sutton is a low-end starter in three-receiver leagues at best.

He was limited in practice Wednesday, although he's expected to play in Week 2 at Denver. Thomas struggled in Week 16 against the Broncos last season with two catches for 18 yards on three targets, and I'm expecting another frustrating outing in Denver again, especially if he matches up with Patrick Surtain II. The only Jacksonville receiver I would start with confidence is Parker Washington, and Thomas is a low-end starter in three-receiver leagues at best.

But he only managed four catches for 40 yards, which isn't ideal. He should once again be heavily involved in the game plan in Week 2 at New England, but I would only start Metcalf in three-receiver leagues. He could see plenty of cornerback Christian Gonzalez, and I don't expect Metcalf to win many of those battles. Metcalf had three catches for 32 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 3 against the Patriots in 2025, but Gonzalez didn't play in that game.

It was a terrible game for London in Week 1 at Pittsburgh with two catches for 29 yards on four targets, and he will be tough to trust with Rush. I'll take Michael Penix Jr. (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) at less than 100 percent, and we'll see what the Falcons do prior to Sunday. For now, be prepared to replace London in two-receiver leagues if you have a better option because Rush is a significant downgrade for London's Fantasy value.

We know that when Kincaid is healthy, he can post outstanding stats, and he looked great against the Texans. The Lions were miserable against the Saints' tight ends in Week 1, with Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant combining for seven catches for 87 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. Kincaid has top-five potential in this matchup.

He should have another solid outing in Week 2 against the Ravens. Baltimore did a good job against Tyler Warren in Week 1, but he scored a late touchdown to finish with three catches for 13 yards on five targets. I expect the Saints to be chasing points in this matchup, and Johnson should finish as a top-12 Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

In Week 1 against Miami, Mayer had seven targets, and he finished with six catches for 32 yards. Trey McBride dominated the Chargers in Week 1 with nine catches for 95 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, and the Raiders should be chasing points in this game.

Sam LaPorta had five catches for 48 yards on eight targets against New Orleans in Week 1, and Andrews had four catches for 49 yards on six targets in Week 1 at the Colts. Andrews could be first or second on the team in targets in this game.

He should once again be heavily involved in Week 2 against the Bengals, who were No. 1 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends in 2025. Cincinnati held Cade Otton to three catches for 26 yards in Week 1, but I expect Schultz to do better against this defense in Week 2. He should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues.

But Henry did well in 2025 when featured, and he had eight catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets in Week 3 against the Steelers. Henry also had 11 games with at least five targets in 2025, including the playoffs, and he scored at least 10.6 PPR points in seven of those outings. TEs to Sit Projections powered by Sportsline

He only had two catches for 21 yards on three targets, and I'm nervous to trust him in Week 2 at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers were just abused by Mike Gesicki in Week 1 for five catches, 78 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, but I don't expect Fannin to do well in this game.

He finished the game with two catches for 6 yards on two targets, and he should struggle again in Week 2 against Washington. It will be tough to trust Ferguson when CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are healthy, and he will likely need a touchdown to save his production. Now, Dallas Goedert did have four catches for 77 yards and two touchdowns on five targets in Week 1 against the Commanders. And Ferguson caught three touchdowns in two games against Washington last year. I'm just hesitant to start him when Lamb and Pickens are active.

Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins were off against the Buccaneers, combining for five catches for 71 yards and no touchdowns on 10 targets.

We're hopeful either Michael Penix Jr. (knee) or Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) will start against the Panthers, and then Pitts will be removed from this post. With Rush, Pitts is a low-end starter at best in the majority of leagues. DST Projections powered by Sportsline 49ers (vs. MIA)
The 49ers defense played great in Week 1 against the Rams, holding them to 7 points with one interception, one fumble recovery and just 290 total yards allowed. It's a big difference when Nick Bosa and Fred Warner are healthy, and San Francisco should dominate the Miami offense in Week 2. The Raiders held the Dolphins to 13 points in Week 1 with five sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery. The 49ers DST should be amazing in Week 2.

The Vikings defense came alive late in Week 1 against the Packers and finished with four sacks, one interception and one fumble recovery. But the Bears offense could be tough to stop. Chicago just scored 59 points in Week 1 against Carolina, and Caleb Williams was sacked just twice. The Bears also had one fumble. I don't want to trust the Vikings DST against Chicago in Week 2.
