The Broncos will also be facing a Steelers defense that did a stellar job of locking down Giants TE Evan Engram in Week 1, making Fant a considerable risk. SIT: Noah Fant, TE, Broncos: Fant had a solid Week 1, catching five passes for 81 yards and a touchdown, but the return of WR Courtland Sutton will cut into his production. Thomas’ athletic presence likely means they won’t dodge it twice. The Cardinals have struggled against opposing tight ends in recent years, and only an injury to 49ers All-Pro George Kittle kept them from being hurt again in Week 1.
START: Logan Thomas, TE, Washington Football Team: One of the more popular waiver wire adds, Thomas led Washington with eight targets in Week 1. New England allowed just 126 receiving yards in its win over the Dolphins, and it’s a sure thing that All-Pro Stephon Gilmore will be covering Metcalf for much of Sunday night.
SIT: DK Metcalf, WR, Seahawks: Seattle’s second-year wideout had five catches for 95 yards and a score in Sunday’s win over the Falcons, but facing the Patriots’ secondary is a different challenge. Sanders also gets a sweeter matchup as the Las Vegas defense had the ninth-most fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers in Week 1. START: Emmanuel Sanders, WR, Saints: With All-Pro Michael Thomas (ankle) sidelined for Monday night’s matchup at the Raiders, Sanders will see more than the mere five targets he had in Week 1. Peterson managed just 31% of the Lions’ RB snap counts and the fact that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will feast on an injury-riddled Detroit secondary means the Lions could be playing catch-up for most of Sunday afternoon. SIT: Adrian Peterson, RB, Lions: Peterson’s 93 yards on 14 carries were a pleasant Week 1 surprise, but don’t count on a Week 2 repeat. The Broncos gave up 116 yards to Derrick Henry in their loss to the Titans, but could be in more dire straits with Snell, especially if QB Ben Roethlisberger opens the passing lanes early to allow Snell’s running to exploit the Denver defense. START: Benny Snell Jr., RB, Steelers: Snell was basically the Pittsburgh running game in Monday’s win over the Giants, accounting for all but one of the team’s 20 rushing attempts after starter James Conner (ankle) was sidelined. A makeshift offensive line doesn’t bode well for Wentz’s chance for a quick bounce-back, not with Aaron Donald and the Rams’ front line coming to Philly. SIT: Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles: Three interceptions, a 57.1 percent completion rate and being sacked eight times in the loss to the Washington Football Team far offset how sharp Wentz looked early.
