Here are some other players to keep in mind for your fantasy football lineups this weekend.

More from KC Kingdom

START ‘EM

  • Quarterback – Patrick Mahomes vs Steelers
  • Running Back – Jordan Howard vs Seahawks
  • Wide Receiver – Emmanuel Sanders vs Raiders
  • Tight End – Jared Cook vs Broncos
  • Defense/Special Teams –  Los Angeles Rams vs Cardinals

SIT ‘EM

Regarding these start ’ems, Patrick Mahomes tore it up against a tough Chargers secondary, so why not give him a go in week two? He obviously proved he can sling it. Jordan Howard gets a favorable match-up against the weak Seahawks run defense.

Emmanuel Sanders should easily be able to cruise against a bad Raiders secondary. Jared Cook could have a Will Dissly-like performance against Denver this week. The Rams defense held Oakland to zero points in the first half.

As for the sit ems, Dak Prescott doesn’t look like that rookie we all fell in love with two seasons ago. Rex Burkhead is splitting carries at the running back position and is up against a tough Jaguars run defense. Don’t love that match-up one bit.

Waiver Wire Week 2. dark. Next

Randall Cobb will be limited against a tough Vikings secondary while on the other side, Kyle Rudolph might not get as much attention against the Packers. The Falcons defense has been crushed early on by injuries, so I wouldn’t trust them as a good starting unit versus Cam Newton and the Panthers.

Enjoy the games and good luck this week everyone!
