Fantasy Football Start or Sit: Week 2

But what if you have Cam Newton? Despite the panthers scoring 27 points in tight Rams defeatNewton has little to do with it, being held by fantastic single-digit points.

Make no mistake, week 1 was a very disturbing result, because Newton was non-existent in running (three attempts for a two-meter draw) and was not involved in any of Carolina's red zone, giving the ball five times. He also had an average target depth (ADOT) of only 5.7 yards and sniffed in his three deep pass attempts (over 16 yards), raising some familiar concerns about a shoulder that had undergone two surgeries at the time. Shoulder in three years.

None of this is reassuring, but unless you have chosen one of the above trios in the final stages of your project, chances are you will not be able to match the weekly potential of your project. Newton – at least when he plays at the same level as us. have come to wait.

And a match against buccaneers could be just what the doctor prescribed. Carolina posts a solid total of 28.25 in a match with a barrage potential (49.5 over / under), and despite the strong performance of Tampa Bay for the first week against Jimmy Garoppolo, it's still a 28th-ranked defense in net expected net points for the game-adjusted defensive in 2018.

Initial returns are worrisome, but we should not give up on the ship after only one failure – even because of his shoulder problems last year, the double-threat quarterback averaged just over 20 fantasy points per match. Newton is screened as numberFire's third best quarterback in the second week.

Start Josh Allen (New York Giants): It's not always beautiful in real life, but Josh Allen continues to do the job with fantasy. Of course, 254 yards with a touchdown and a pair of picks against the Jets It's hardly impressive, but add 10 runs for 38 yards and a flawless score – now you have a nice day at the office.

In week 2, Allen faces a giant The defense that has just been diced by Dak Prescott and was the second worst defense of last week by the numberFire measures. And although we should not put too much stock in a match, these Giants also ranked 25th in 2018.

Let's not forget that Allen averaged 52.6 rushing yards per game last year – he's usually worth more fantasy points than a pass-by touch – and that's not not even count for his eight race scores.

If Week 1 was an indication, it should be more similar on the ground in 2019, and with Allen-to-John Brown paying connection already dividends, even the head in the air could be there in the soft matches like the Giants. Indeed, the 254 yards allocated by Allen Jets have exceeded its production in 11 starts last season.

Sit Kyler Murray (in Baltimore): After struggling for most of the game against Detroit, Kyler Murray saved his day between a tie in the fourth quarter and a few extra possessions in overtime.

However, while 308 passing yards, 2 touchdowns and one interception represent a good final fantastic result, Murray completed only 53.7% of his passes and was the fifth worst quarter starting in the first week in terms of success of the NAP by return. He also ran only three times for 13 yards, so his theoretical ground potential does not seem to be something we can rely on for the moment.

That makes him an even more fragile bet on the road against the Ravens, numberFire's best passing defense in 2018. Only Miami has an implied total lower than Arizona's ridiculous 16.75 points.

Other starting shifts to start: Baker Mayfield (to the Jets of New York), Ben Roethlisberger (vs. Seattle), and Jameis Winston (at Carolina) should rebound this week. In deeper formats, Derek Carr (vs. Kansas City) deserves to be examined during a possible shootout.

Return

Start Sony Michel (in Miami): In a game where the Patriots strangled the Steelers 33-3, one would think that Sony Michel was one of the players who feasted. Instead, he rushed for … 14 yards. Welp.

Rex Burkhead was the surprise running team leader (44 yards), but the good news is that Michel was still leading the team in the semifinal (15) over Burkhead (8) and James White. (4). The cluttered background of the Patriots is still a headache, but based on this use, Michel is still the best dog in the ground game, and he should still thrive when the game's script favors the Pats.

Of course, this should surely be the case against the humble dolphins. Miami was destroyed on the field by the Ravens in the first week, scoring 265 rushing yards and 2 scores, and it's no wonder they ranked in the bottom five in the defensive PNA defeated per match for the week. A similar workload should be more than enough to allow Michel to bounce back into such a dream match.

Start Devin Singletary (at the New York Giants): Devin Singletary has been listed as a "sit" in the article last week due to use problems in a shared field with Frank Gore and T.J. Yeldon.

And of course, Gore scored 11 rushes against Singletary's four, but that's Singletary that was featured in the passing game. He saw six targets while Gore had none. Meanwhile, Yeldon has barely seen the ground.

Best of all, Singletary made the most of her chances, turning those 4 scopes into 70 yards on the floor, combined with 5 receptions for another 28 yards. On the other hand, Gore was ineffective, converting his 11 keys in just 20 yards on the ground. As expected from these results, Singletary had a record success rate of 100.0% compared to 27.3% of Gore. Singletary also saw the field much more often than Gore 48-19.

Gore is always listed at the top of the depth mapbut it is clear that the upper back is in this field. Singletary's role is expected to grow, and he enters the second week with plenty of potential against a Giants defense that has just been lit for 35 points by the Cowboys..

Sit Phillip Lindsay (vs Chicago): Almost any semi-finalist around 15 keys is not a must, and that's certainly what we have with Phillip Lindsay, who has counted 11 rushes and 4 receptions (6 targets) during the first week against the Raiders.

But as everyone who watched the game witnessed, Royce Freeman was almost timeshare, who scored 11 keys (10 rushes, 1 receiving). Of course, Lindsay won 34 shots, only four more than Freeman's 30. Moreover, even with the Broncos At the end of the game, they also do not indicate that Lindsay is the favorite in negative play scripts, regardless of whether they use both backs.

This makes this situation incredibly frustrating and unpredictable, and even more so during bad matches like this week against the Bears. Even though the Bears offensive left much to be desired during the first week, the vaunted defense played its role, holding Aaron Rodgers and the Packers only 10 points. Chicago was numberFire's second defense against the race in 2018.

Lindsay still deserves to be taken into account in deeper formats, especially in PPR, because of its decent volume and its appearance in the passing game, but this half-field to avoid is to be avoided if possible in a difficult situation facing Chicago.

Other halves to start: Despite a dreaded committee being developed in Kansas City, Damien Williams (in Oakland) is still leading in an attack that scores a lot, and LeSean McCoy has seen enough keys to justify a flexible examination. Matt Breida (Cincinnati) Will Have A Heavy Workload With Tevin Coleman with a twisted ankle. Giovani Bernard (vs. San Francisco) should be in the lineup if Joe Mixon s & # 39; sits. Washington will have to spend to stay in Dallas, which should give Chris Thompson the advantage over Adrian Peterson with Derrius Guice outside.

Wide receiver

Start Tyrell Williams (vs. Kansas City): Many were excited to see how Tyrell Williams would follow the Raiders' surprise outing of Antonio Brown. He was not disappointed, capturing 6 of 7 targets for 105 yards and a score. This was beneficial for a strong target of 26.9%, behind Darren Waller, one of the tightest, among the Raiders.

Established as one of the first two passing targets for Oakland, Williams should see a lot of looks with Patrick Mahomes and the leaders arriving in town. Kansas City is the favorite of the road at 7.5 points in a match with an advance / descent of 52.5, so Derek Carr and the company will surely have to launch to try to follow the offensive juggernaut.

And although we should not expect the Raiders to be able to hang out with the Chiefs, they should still be able to accumulate their points. The Chiefs were numberFire's worst ranked pass defense last year, and they simply racked up 347 yards and 3 goals for rookie Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles.

Start Marquise Brown (vs. Arizona): Marquise Brown was a popular wire abductor this week and is worth adding to your lineup right away in the deep leagues.

The Cardinals still have not suspended Patrick Peterson and have been enlightened by Matthew Stafford for 385 and 3 touchdowns (extra) in the first week. They must now hit the road and face a Ravens team that has added 59 points and has the third highest total of the week (29.75).

Given that Brown only played 14 snapshots (18%) last week, we must proceed with caution before we get excited by his boxing score of the first week. Despite these limited shots, his five targets were second in the team (20% share) and he led the team in the airfields (36.7% share). In addition, it is quite possible that his lack of playing time has a lot to do with the fact that it comes from an off-season foot problem and that it is not necessary in an easy victory.

His shots can only go up from here, and against the fastest team in the league, you have to bet that the opportunities will be there this week.

Jarvis Landry (New York Jets): Following the acquisition of Odell Beckham by Cleveland, the fear was that Jarvis Landry would take a huge shot in fantastic value because of a decrease in volume.

This is exactly what happened during the first week: Beckham reached 28.9% of the goals while Landry recorded a disappointing rate of 18.4%. Landry saw a 26.6% market share in 2018, not to mention the fact that it fell to only 21.1% when Freddie Kitchens took control in 2018, even before Beckham was around.

Beckham is not going anywhere and guys like David Njoku and Nick Chubb also taking pieces of the pie, there is little reason to expect Landry's goals to increase in the coming weeks. Baker Mayfield and this offense as a whole should perform better against the Jets this week, and Landry could still have his moment of glory, but it will not be PPR's dream of years past.

Other wide receivers to start: DeSean Jackson is still in full swing but should stay the course against Atlanta, the second-worst numberFire team against the pass in 2018. John Brown excelled in his first game with Buffalo (27.8% target, 41.0% from air yards) and now gets a weak Giants pass defense. Cole Beasley also reached 25.0% of the targets if you need someone in deep formats.

Tight end

Start with Darren Waller (vs. Kansas City Chiefs): Mark Andrews, T.J. Hockenson, and Darren Waller were both stars of the week after their strong performances last week. All three deserve to be ranked first.

But Waller is still curiously detained in only 72% of Yahoo leagues and 55% of ESPN leagues, and it is one of the strongest starts of the week. The par value, maybe 7 receptions for 70 yards will not turn a lot of heads, but his 8 targets were good for a goal share of 30.8%, which is particularly impressive for a tight game. Waller was also on the ground for 100% of Raiders shots.

As noted with Tyrell Williams, Oakland should have a lot to do to try to hang out with the Chiefs. We should again see Waller position himself as the main target of Derek Carr's passes.

Sit down Eric Ebron (Tennessee): Eric Ebron is unfortunately relegated to this position for the second week in a row, while doubts about his role came to fruition in the first week. Ebron and Jack Doyle combined for only five targets (three for Ebron and two for Doyle), effectively canceling out as a fantastic asset. Doyle also overtook Ebron 43-25, throwing cold water on the Ebron value.
