After an exciting opening weekend in fantasy football, it’s time to set your lineups for week two action! Who should you start and who should you sit?

The first season of NFL action is in the books and while it’s still too early to tell what type of fantasy football players guys might be, we at least have some 2018 stats to go off of now. That will help when it comes to putting together your lineup for week two.

These Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em posts are more intended about the “non-stars” you should consider starting or sitting. Everyone who has Drew Brees or Odell Beckham Jr. on their rosters know to play both of those guys. These will be the lower key guys that aren’t guaranteed starting options in fantasy football on a week-to-week basis.

What I liked to do last year was look back at my best piece of advice and my worst piece of advice. Now last year, I only gave one for each, but this year I will look at my best and worst Start ‘Em suggestion and my best and worst Sit ‘Em suggestion. Let’s take a look at how I did last week.

GOOD ADVICE: STARTING TED GINN AND SITTING SAMMY WATKINS

Ted Ginn racked up 20 points in ESPN leagues, so if you had him on your roster, hopefully you listened to me! As for my good advice in the Sit ‘Em category, Sammy Watkins mustered just 21 yards for the Chiefs last week. That’s good for five points in fantasy football.

BAD ADVICE: STARTING ALEX COLLINS AND SITTING BEARS DEFENSE

Alex Collins didn’t tear up the Bills defense like I thought he would, posting just 13 yards rushing with a touchdown. Sitting the Bears defense was also a stupid suggestion by me because Khalil Mack is a freak.

Let’s see how I fare this week! Onto the Start Ems and Sit Ems of the week!
