Fantasy Football Week 2 Start/Sit Recommendations Highlight Jalen Hurts and Jordan Mason
Analysts advise fantasy managers to start Jalen Hurts and Jordan Mason in Week 2 while sitting players such as Bo Nix and Jaylen Warren, citing favorable matchups and recent performance trends.
Fantasy football managers received a new set of start-sit recommendations for Week 2, focusing on point-per-reception (PPR) formats. Quarterback Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles is slated to start after ranking eighth among quarterbacks in Week 1 and facing a Tennessee Titans defense that struggled early in the season. The analysis also lists Matthew Stafford, Brock Purdy and Baker Mayfield as viable options, while recommending Bo Nix and Justin Herbert among others to sit due to challenging defensive matchups.
Running backs Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones of the Minnesota Vikings are advised as starters, with Mason expected to benefit from a Chicago Bears defense that allowed a high number of fantasy points to opposing backs in the opening week. Conversely, Jaylen Warren of the Pittsburgh Steelers is suggested to sit, as he will confront a New England Patriots defense that limited opponent rushing production.
At wide receiver, Chris Godwin of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is recommended to start after a modest Week 1 showing, with a favorable game against the Cleveland Browns. Additional starts include Jalen Coker and Stefon Diggs, while Jerry Jeudy is advised to sit following a low-output performance against a strong Buccaneers secondary.
"Hurts still managed to finish the week as QB8, and he has top-three potential this week," the report notes.
"Both backs finished as top-30 RB scorers for the week. Both should be solid flex plays in Week 2," the analysis adds.
"Godwin looked like his old pre-injury self in Week 1, though he only finished as WR46. He should have a much better statistical outing this week," the commentary states.
