WEEK 2 FANTASY FOOTBALL STARTS OF THE WEEK

Erik Trosclair • September 15, 2024

Let's get into it!

QBs


- Jared Goff - Tampa's defensive backfield is very beat up. This game can turn into a track meet quick.

- Baker Mayfield - The last time Baker played in Detriot, he put up 349 passing yards and 3 TDs. This will be a fun game to watch. Baker is coming off of a strong week 1 performance.

- Matthew Stafford - This Arizona defense is not very good. Stafford will have lots of opportunity to put up points in this one.

- Justin Fields - This is a weak Denver defense. Fields has strong rushing upside. He will look to build off of his week 1 performance.


RBs


- Rhamondre Stevenson - He received a ton of work in week 1. "If it ain't broke don't fix it." This Seattle defense is weak against the run.

- Josh Jacobs - With Jordan Love being injured, Jacobs may get a little more involved in this week's gameplan. This Indianapolis run defense has some holes.

- Jordan Mason - It looks like CMC may miss this week. Mason will look to continue what he started in week 1.

- J.K. Dobbins - Dobbins broke some long runs in week 1. Coach Harbaugh wants to run the ball. This Carolina defense spends a lot of time on the field.


WRs


- Cooper Kupp - With Nucua dinged up, Kupp received a ton of work in week 1. Look for that trend to continue.

- Deebo Samuel Jr. - Deebo looks to already be in midseason form along with the rest of this 49ers defense. He will always be involved in a big way.

- George Pickens - With Justin Fields starting in week 1, Pickens was peppered with targets. This shouldn't change this week.

- Jameson Williams - #sickostartoftheweek - This Tampa Bay defensive backfield is beat up. Jameson is a real speedster. After his strong week 1 performance, I like him to do more of the same this week.


TEs


- Kyle Pitts - Pitts caught a TD in week 1, and this Philly defense is not too good against TEs.

- Pat Friermuth - Friermuth had a 74% snap count in week 1. He is always on the field. This Denver defense is weak against TEs.

- Brock Bowers - Bowers had a solid week 1 performance. I will park him here until I am proved otherwise.

- Isaiah Likely - Likely had one of the more exciting week 1 performances. Baltimore may ride the hot hand with this one. Mark Andrews was blocking a lot in week 1.


D/STs


- Steelers - The Steelers had a strong week 1 performance. Look for them to build off of this against a rookie QB.

- Patriots - This game has a low over/under. This unit looked good in week 1.

- Chargers - With this Panthers offense, you can plug and play their oppenents D/ST each week.

- Commanders - Daniel Jones is a turnover machine. The Commanders will get you points.


Kickers

- Jake Bates - The highest over/under of the week. This game should have a ton of points

- Chase McLaughlin - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

- Joshua Karty - Karty had a strong week 1, and this game has a high over/under.

- Jake Moody - Moody had a massive workload in week 1. This 49ers offense is clicking

When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
