Fantasy football Week 2: Start and sit

If there's one thing I know about people who play fantasy football, it's that we're all rational human beings who never overreact to anything.

This means no one is panicking after Ben Roethlisberger laid an egg in New England (he's prone to doing that on the road from time-to-time).

This also means you're not blowing your FAAB wad on Malcolm Brown because he vultured Todd Gurley twice.

Wait, what? We aren't rational? We do overreact to everything? Oh yeah, that sounds right.

Let's try and make sense of Week 1, shall we?

_ Lamar Jackson doesn't have to throw five touchdowns every week to end up a top-five fantasy quarterback, although it's nice to know he can.

_ Start everyone who plays against Miami. They are REALLY bad.

_ There's a very small "buy-low" window open: the Browns, Mike Evans, Sony Michel and Mike Williams (assuming his knee injury isn't too serious).

_ Bruce Arians can't save Jameis Winston.

_ I wouldn't waste my time on Antonio Brown. He's toxic and who knows where this roller coaster ends? There are simply too many wide receivers with upside, available in most leagues.

Here are my best bets for Week 2:
