Expert picks on which players to start and bench in Week 2 fantasy matchups.

In brief

Expert picks on which players to start and bench in Week 2 fantasy matchups. Baker Mayfield bounces back against Cleveland, David Montgomery faces a tough Bengals defense, and Marvin Harrison Jr. needs to prove himself before you start him. Originally reported by PhillyVoice.

Week 2 fantasy survival guide

Week 1 brought explosive performances, injuries, and unexpected busts. Here's expert advice on who to start and sit in Week 2 matchups.

Start Baker Mayfield

After losing three fumbles and underperforming in Week 1, Mayfield faces the worst team in the NFL. The Browns matchup is the perfect recipe for a bounce back.

Sit Bo Nix

Sit Bo Nix

Nix looked shaky on Monday Night Football against Kansas City's middle-of-the-road defense. If you have other QB options, wait for him to stabilize.

Start Bhayshul Tuten

The Broncos allowed 220 rushing yards in Week 1. Tuten led the Jaguars backfield in touches and faces Denver in Week 2 for a potential breakout game.

Sit David Montgomery

Montgomery scored three touchdowns in Week 1, but that's a sell-high situation. The Bengals allowed just 89 rushing yards last week and will be tough to repeat against.

Start Jalen Coker

Coker caught 9 passes on 12 targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. He was on the field for 84 percent of snaps and faces Atlanta this week.

Sit Marvin Harrison Jr.

Harrison got just three targets and one catch in Week 1. The Seahawks have one of the best secondaries in the league, so he's not an attractive start yet.

Start Jake Ferguson

Washington allowed two touchdown passes to tight ends in Week 1, including one to Dallas Goedert. Ferguson has a good chance to break out against that weak defense.

Sit Isaiah Likely

Likely was on the field for less than 50 percent of his team's offensive snaps in Week 1. He's too situational and touchdown dependent right now against the Rams.

Here's the gist

Baker Mayfield bounces back against Cleveland, David Montgomery faces a tough Bengals defense, and Marvin Harrison Jr. needs to prove himself before you start him.
