D-Man's Week 2 Fantasy Football Sunday Matchups Report By: Dan Schreiber

I'm Dan "D-Man" Schreiber from the Empty The Bench Podcast Network. Based on my three fantasy football PPR teams, I will explain what players I feel you should start and sit for the week 2 Sunday games. Besides my three teams, I will discuss other players to start and sit for the week 2 Sunday games for PPR leagues. I will also let you guys know what players are not to start because of injuries. Based on my three fantasy football teams, I recommend that the players create and sit.

Start

QB: Justin Herbert & Trevor Lawrence

RB: Rhamondre Stevenson, Zack Moss, Derrick Henry, Dameon Pierce, Bijan Robinson, and Travis Etienne

WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Olave, DJ Moore, and Chris Godwin

TE: Dallas Goedert & Darren Waller

W/R/T: Terry McLaurin, Courtland Sutton, and James Cook

DEF: Buffalo, Saints, and Cleveland

K: Jason Sanders, Tyler Bass, and Jake Moody

Sit

RB: Samaje Perine, Isiah Pacheco, Austin Ekeler, Brian Robinson, De'Von Achane, Raheem Mostert, Elijah Mitchell, and Tyjae Spears

WR: Nico Collins, Jonathan Mingo, Christian Kirk, Zay Jones, and Marquise Brown

-I'm sitting in my RB position, Austin Ekeler, in one of my leagues because it's not looking good so far with him not starting Sunday due to an ankle injury. I'm starting in his place, RB Zack Moss. If Ekeler starts Sunday, then definitely start him.

-I'm sitting in my W/R/T position, WR Nico Collins, in one of my leagues because the Texans QB C.J. Stroud might not play this Sunday due to a right shoulder injury. I feel without Stroud playing, it's going to hurt Collins' performance. I'm starting in his place, Courtland Sutton. If Stroud ends up playing, then definitely start Collins.

Here are the players I recommend to start and sit beside my teams.

Start

QB: Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Justin Fields, and Tua Tagovailoa

RB: Christian McCaffrey, Nick Chubb, Tony Pollard, and Josh Jacobs

WR: Tyreek Hill, Stefon Diggs, CeeDee Lamb, and Brandon, Aiyuk

TE: Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Kyle Pitts, and Dalton Kincaid

DEF: Cowboys, 49ers, Saints, and Commanders

K: Justin Tucker, Harrison Butker, Cameron Dicker, and Younghoe Koo

Sit

QB: Joe Burrow, Ryan Tannehill, Mac Jones, and Matthew Stafford

RB: Saquon Barkley, Joe Mixon, Najee Harris, and Miles Sanders

WR: Deebo Samuel, Mike Williams, Odell Beckham Jr., and Kadarius Toney

TE: Luke Musgrave, Zach Ertz, David Njoku, and Chigoziem Okonkwo

DEF: Steelers, Bengals, Patriots, and Chiefs

K: Graham Gano, Chris Boswell, Brett Maher, and Matt Prater

-I wouldn't start QB Joe Burrow this week because of his terrible performance last week, and he returned from injury too early. If you guys do decide to start him, see how he performs. If Burrow doesn't perform well after week 2, I will bench him until he recovers more from injury.

Here are players that may or may not start Sunday due to injuries:

QB: C.J. Stroud (right shoulder)

RB: Aaron Jones (hamstring), Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness), and Austin Ekeler (ankle)

WR: Christian Watson (hamstring), Jakobi Meyers (concussion), and DeAndre Hopkins (ankle)

TE: Mark Andrews (quad), Julian Hill (ankle), and Greg Dulcich (hamstring)

K: Greg Zuerlein (right groin)

I hope my advice helps you with your Week 2 Sunday PPR fantasy football league matchups. Good Luck!
