Fantasy Football Week 2 Rankings & Start/Sit Advice

Streaming Defenses to Consider for Week 2

Browns Defense vs NYJ: Last week the Jets turned in a very well rounded bad offensive performance, putting only 9 points on the board while allowing a respectable 3 sacks and 2 turnovers. This is exactly the kind of showing I expect from the Jets, and why their opponents will be among the best fantasy DSTs to start every week until we see something else. The Browns have much lower rostership than everyone ranked ahead of them, so if you’re streaming there’s a high likelihood that they’re your best option, and that’s a good place to be.

Bengals Defense @ DAL: It’s quite unusual for there to be as many as 8 different teams projected for fewer than 20 points this week, but it’s not surprising that the Cowboys are among them. During last week’s game Dak Prescott suffered a thumb injury that required surgery, and will sideline him for 6-8 weeks. In the meantime, Cooper Rush will start for the Cowboys, making them an interesting DST target. We don’t have a lot of data on Rush – in 5 years on the Cowboys’ depth chart he has 1 real start. I have no hesitation starting his opponents until he reveals himself to be the next Gardner Minshew or something.

Panthers Defense @ NYG: The Giants offense showed signs of life last week with a nice come-from-behind victory over the Titans. Nonetheless, Daniel Jones still took 5 sacks and turned over the ball twice, landing the Titans in the top 10 defenses of the week. That’s the kind of performance you’re hoping for if you start the Panthers this week, who are very likely to be available in your league. In my opinion, those hopes are well-founded.
