Here is our fantasy football start/sit article, including all the players we’re calling sleepers and duds this week. Below, let’s take a closer look at a few players to consider this week.
Jalen McMillan (WR – TB)
“Jalen McMillan should be on your sleeper radars in Week 2. He was able to score a touchdown last week and almost had two if he had not dropped one. He plays the Lions this week. That should be a shootout, as the Buccaneers will likely be playing catch-up. He played more snaps than both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin last week. He could produce for you in Week 2.”
– Steven Pintado (The Fantasy Coaches)
“Buccaneers WR3 Jalen McMillan has plenty of upside in your FLEX spot this week. In his NFL debut, the former Washington Huskie ran a route on 88% of Baker Mayfield‘s dropbacks. He caught one of his three targets for a 32-yard TD. He almost caught another TD earlier in the game. Considering the projected shootout on deck versus Detroit, McMillan could have another busy week.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)
“When digging this deep, targeting players from games with the highest projected point totals seems like a good strategy. At the time of writing, the over/under for the Lions-Bucs matchup is 2.5 points higher than any other game. That brings us to a rookie who led his wideout group in snaps and routes in Week 1 — Tampa Bay’s Jalen McMillan. The 22-year-old only garnered three targets, but this is an ideal game environment for this type of dart throw.”

Brock Bowers (TE – LV)
“Week 1 wasn’t a smashing success for Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, but with six receptions on eight targets in his first NFL game, it’s a positive sign. Many fantasy managers worried that the Raiders quarterback situation wasn’t enough to support multiple fantasy options and assumed the offense would only allow Davante Adams to produce. In Week 1, it was Bowers, not Adams, who was the team leader, as the Raiders seemed to be building around their young first-round rookie. A TE3 finish in his first career start is a great sign of things to come, and he is a great start for anyone who didn’t land a top-six tight end in their drafts. His matchup with the Ravens is also ideal, as Baltimore allowed the six most fantasy points to the position in Week 1, even though that’s a limited sample size, and I’m willing to take a chance on the rookie and fire him up in Week 2.”

Greg Dortch (WR – ARI)
“With one of the highest implied team point totals for Week 2, the Arizona Cardinals is an offense I’m targeting when looking at FLEX options. That means Kyler’s guy Greg Dortch is in the mix against the Rams. Dortch had more targets than all other Cardinal WRs combined in Week 1, and he even got a carry against Buffalo. Marvin Harrison, Jr. will get going soon enough, but don’t sleep on Dortch to continue his production in Week 2.”
– Bart Wheeler (Hail to Fantasy Football)
“Greg F***** Dortch. We’ve been praising him all off season for a reason. This absolute legend is going to lead the Cardinals in receptions this year. How’s that for a “Hot Take.” This week, we have the mighty Dortch ranked within the top 40 wide receivers. The Rams’ defense is pretty sus, but they seemed to do a decent job covering St-Brown and Laporta last week, so we expect them to focus more on MHJ and Trey McBride, which bodes well for Sir Dortch.”
