Fantasy Football Week 2 Lineup Advice | Must Start Players, Sleeper Sits + Debates (2024)
The FantasyPros crew is tackling Week 2’s toughest start/sit decisions. Ryan Wormeli, Pat Fitzmaurice and Andrew Erickson are here to provide you with all the information you need to craft a lineup that will carry you to victory. Who are you starting or sitting this week? Let us know in the comments below!
Isaiah Likely (TE – BAL): Isaiah Likely’s breakout performance in Week 1 has fantasy managers buzzing. Even with Mark Andrews still in the picture, he dominated as the top tight end target in the Ravens’ offense. Likely showcased his athleticism and ability to thrive when plays break down, drawing comparisons to how Travis Kelce complements Patrick Mahomes. His size and agility make him a mismatch for defenses, and with the Ravens’ limited options at wide receiver, Likely is expected to maintain a significant role. He’s ranked as a top-10 tight end option for Week 2, especially appealing for those with late-round tight ends.
Jordan Mason (RB – SF): Jordan Mason seized the opportunity in Week 1, stepping up for the 49ers while Christian McCaffrey sat out. With McCaffrey remaining sidelined for Week 2, Mason is a must-start in fantasy lineups. His dynamic showing in the 49ers’ run-heavy offense makes him a high-value waiver add for managers needing running back depth.
Justin Fields (QB – PIT): Justin Fields is a tantalizing fantasy quarterback with massive rushing upside. In Week 1, Fields ran the ball 14 times for 57 yards, reinforcing his floor as a fantasy QB1. Despite a quiet passing game, Fields’ rushing ability keeps him in the conversation as a top-12 quarterback. His Week 2 matchup against the Denver Broncos, who struggled defensively in Week 1, presents an opportunity for Fields to explode, especially if the Broncos continue running heavy man coverage, allowing him to exploit running lanes.
