Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 2: Trevor Lawrence, Javonte Williams, and Christian Kirk

Week 2 of the fantasy football season is underway and while we may have drafted certain players at a premium, it is okay to consider benching them despite their name value.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: It wasn't the best fantasy game for Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff in Week 1.

BALLER MOVE: Sit (Absolutely Do Not Start) POSITIONAL VALUE: QB3 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis is terrible.

Just […]

Joe Burrow - Week 2 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 18+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB17 ANALYSIS: Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League, but a tough matchup combined with a lack of cohesion for the Cincinnati Bengals early in the season makes him a sub-optimal choice at starting QB in Week 2.

Jacoby Brissett Still Off Fantasy Radar For Week 2

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett is one week removed from leading his team to a big upset victory on the road.
