Key Fantasy Football Starts and Sits For Week 2 (2025) | Fantasy News

Scott Engel

Rotoballer

Week 2 starts/sits lens focuses on Zach Charbonnet as Seattle aims to lean on the run game, with Kenneth Walker III in a complementary role. Jordan Mason brings bruising value in a Vikings backfield that appears to have found balance. Isiah Pacheco faces a tougher test after a quiet opener, needing a rebound against a tougher Philadelphia defense. A.J. Brown looks to rebound with Hurts and a likely uptick in targets; Keon Coleman has emerged as Buffalo’s No. 1-ish option, while Marquise Brown could pepper the Chiefs with targets as Rashee Rice and Worthy sit. Justin Fields is a top Week 2 QB play for the Jets, and Jonnu Smith provides a solid tight end streaming option for Pittsburgh.

Which Week 2 backfields offer the clearest starts and sits for fantasy managers, and who stands out as the safest bets for flex?Which Week 2 WRs should fantasy managers prioritize for volume and upside, given the injury notes and target distribution?Which QBs and TEs present the most favorable Week 2 starts, and how should you balance upside vs safety?What late-week lineup pivots could maximize overall Week 2 fantasy points?

George Pickens - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 2 (2025) | Fantasy News

Andy Smith

Rotoballer

Week 2 fantasy look: George Pickens, now with Dallas, is a strong WR2 with upside. Week 1 he served as the Cowboys’ deep threat (13.8 aDOT, 55 air yards) but finished with 40 yards on 3 catches. The matchup against New York’s secondary should yield more big plays and a clearer path to targets.

Historically, Pickens carries a high ceiling (about 16.3 YPR) and a 900-yard, 3-TD 2023 season on limited volume. If Dallas continues to lean into the aerial attack, he can deliver an immediate, weekly WR2 floor with notable upside in Week 2 and beyond.

Should you start George Pickens in Week 2 with Dallas facing the Giants?What players should you pair with Pickens in DFS Week 2?How does the Cowboys’ offense impact Pickens’ Week 2 ceiling?Is Pickens a keeper in keeper/dynasty leagues after Week 2?

New England trades Ja’Lynn Polk to New Orleans and promotes Kobee Minor and Mark Robinson from the practice squad. Polk, a 2024 second-rounder, logged 12 catches for 87 yards and 2 TDs in 15 games before a shoulder injury ended his rookie season. Minor (Memphis, 2025 seventh-round) and Robinson (Pittsburgh, 2022 seventh-round) join as active players as NE heads to Miami for a pivotal Sunday matchup.

The Saints acquire Polk to bolster their WR corps, while New England leans on depth pieces on defense and special teams heading into the clash with the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m.

With Devon Witherspoon doubtful, Seahawks add depth to secondary from practice squad | Field Gulls

John Gilbert

Field Gulls

Seahawks face Pittsburgh with Nick Emmanwori out and Devon Witherspoon doubtful, thinning Seattle’s secondary early in the season. To shore up depth, Seattle elevated D’Anthony Bell from the practice squad and promoted defensive tackle Brandon Pili. The moves set up a critical Week 2 test in Pittsburgh and could influence early-season fantasy value for Seattle DBs and rotational linemen.

With Witherspoon doubtful and Emmanwori out, how should Seattle adjust their pass coverage against Pittsburgh, and who among the available corners or safeties is likely to see the biggest workload?Does Bell's elevation to the active roster elevate his DFS upside in Week 2?How will Pili's elevation influence Seattle's interior run defense and possible DL rotation?Which Seahawks pass catchers could see increased targets if secondary depth is tested?
