What’s the only thing better than winning your first fantasy football matchup?

Let’s get after it for Week 2. This is probably my second-riskiest pick of the week, but I might as well go big or go home. I was very pleased with the defense. And if you had Hoyer being on the shortest leash of any starting quarterback, you win a prize.
Therefore, this article targets the players who showed up in Week 1 who have the greatest chance to create a sustainable impact for your fantasy squad. We heard these same “sky is falling” proclamations like in the past year about Eddie Lacy and Tom Brady in fantasy land. Easy. And it gets better. Just don’t look for last week’s numbers, because Cleveland is not the pushover that the Buccaneers are.
This is more of a better call than anything else. The Cardinals have a ton of talented skill players.
The main question is, what should you do with RB Chris Johnson?
But, why wait until the games actually get played on the field? The Bears look overmatched to me this week. Anderson will play tonight (toe), but you should be wary of him anyways.
This is a bonus start. The point though is the Eagles run so many plays under Chip Kelly that his quarterback’s usually get a ton of opportunities.
The Thursday game has the Broncos and Chiefs so that group of players will be kept out of this list since it’s one of the early games of the week.
Traditional TV still gives you scale – and spillage. Again, trust your gut before listening to tips! Despite the Raiders best efforts to come back in the fourth, it was too little too late.
As you might expect, this is exactly the opposite of the players to trade for. The run game is what drives this offense, and Ivory is the workhorse. In Week 2, he faces a tough matchup with the New York Jets and lockdown corner Darrelle Revis. Can Romo do the same for Terrance Williams?
This is another bonus start. That isn’t quite the objective here, but it is a factor in having a good day as an individual. Could see concussion protocol coming into play.
Against the Seahawks in Week 1, the Rams defensive line won the game. It’s a week to strongly consider other options if you have them. I know he is out four-to-six weeks. Evans can do vast amounts of damage on just a handful of targets.
The Jets will need points this week, and Brandon Marshall will be locked up often with stud cornerback Vontae Davis.

Adams should have a solid season, but the addition of James Jones to the wide out corp could cause him to lose some targets. He should be able to do serious damage out of the slot against Philadelphia this week. Saving money to pay more elsewhere is a good move. Andre Ellington is out for at least this game, and coach Bruce Arians has already announced that Chris Johnson will start over David Johnson. He should be a solid WR3 or flex in 12-team leagues this week. The Chargers used him in many different ways, especially in the red zone. Each week I’ll collect the perfect lineup for each of our fantasy experts to try and help guide you all to the $1 million prize. Well, not only did he start, but he looked good. It’s a total joke, but it’s also a reality that is unlikely to change.
