Fantasy Football 2019: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 2
START ‘EM – RB
Running Back. New England Patriots. Sony Michel. 1. player. 47.
Sony Michel didn’t start the season off with a bang, but he should more than make up for it against the Dolphins in week two. In case you didn’t see Miami play in week one, I’ll sum it up for you: They were hot garbage against the Ravens, allowing 265 rushing yards and having zero answer to stopping the Baltimore rushing attack.
With the Patriots favored by 18 points (yes, that’s for real), look for them to eat the clock and run the ball as much as possible. That should spell victory for Michel and his fantasy owners, as he looks to bounce back in the second week of the season.
SIT ‘EM – RB
. Running Back. Green Bay Packers. Aaron Jones. 2. player. 49
The Vikings defense looked for real just one game into the season and that’s why those of you with Aaron Jones on your team should look for another option in week two. Minnesota held Falcons running back Devonta Freeman to just 19 yards a week ago.
Yes, the Falcons eventually abandoned the run due to being so far behind, but the Vikings weren’t letting them get any yardage on the ground even before that.
That being said, this won’t be an easy game for Jones. If you have a better option at running back, that’s probably a good plan, as Jones probably won’t be lighting up the score sheets this week.
