Week 2 of the Fantasy season is almost here \u2013 time to scour your lineups, player\u2019s matchups and decide who on your squad will help you to victory this week.<\/p>\n

Take a look at Dave B\u2019s Fantasy Matchups \u2013 Start and Sit Week 2 for lineup advice and Good Luck in Week 2.<\/p>\n

Oakland at Buffalo 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Oakland played well in their opener but there is no doubt that only one Raider should be used for Fantasy \u2013 Darren McFadden who should be over 100 yards and a score. For Buffalo, Ryan Fitzpatrick can be used in a pinch along with Steve Johnson and Fred Jackson as a flex only. Fitz is good for a couple of TDs with Johnson catching one of them.<\/p>\n

Kansas City at Detroit 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

KC was horrible last week \u2013 I don\u2019t know if we can trust any Chief. You will have to start Jamaal Charles but it is a nervous start. For Detroit, Matt Stafford is a fine play this week along with Calvin Johnson, who is a top 3 receiver this week.\u00a0 Brandon Pettigrew is a play and even Jahvid Best is fine. Nate Burleson could be used as a flex here too.<\/p>\n

Baltimore at Tennessee 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe Flacco is just an OK play here \u2013 Ray Rice is going to dominate so obviously start Rice. Anquan Boldin and Lee Evans are only average plays because of Rice\u2019s potential numbers. As always, start Baltimore\u2019s defense as well. Tennessee will have a rough outing but you can\u2019t bench Chris Johnson (despite a brutal Week 1). Kenny Britt is the only other Titan that I would consider \u2013 Nate Washington is only OK in deep leagues as a flex.<\/p>\n

Cleveland at Indianapolis 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cleveland may actually have some success in this game but the only real Fantasy option is Peyton Hillis. Ben Watson is just an OK TE option this week. It is hard to trust any Colt right now but Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark are as steady as they come \u2013 start them of course.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay at Minnesota 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

I expect a bounce back game from Tampa Bay this weekend. You could use Josh Freeman, Kellen Winslow and Mike Williams without hesitation but I would be a little scared about LeGarrette Blount. For Minnesota, I am staying away from everyone but Adrian Peterson in this game.<\/p>\n

Chicago at New Orleans 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Roy Williams is potentially out of the lineup Sunday leaving the door open for sleeper Johnny Knox. Jay Cutler is a fine option this week and Matt Forte is an obvious play as well. Temper your expectations for the Bears D this week. For New Orleans, Drew Brees is an obvious play but the receivers are a bit of a mystery. Expect solid numbers from Devery Henderson and Robert Meachem \u2013 just don\u2019t know which breaks out. Darren Sproles could score again and Mark Ingram could get his first touchdown as well.<\/p>\n

Jacksonville at NY Jets 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Sit all of your Jaguars! The Jets defense is just too nasty. For New York, Shonn\u00a0 Green has to be better this week and earns a reluctant start. Santonio Holmes is also a good play here.<\/p>\n

Seattle at Pittsburgh 1:00 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is going to be a tough day for the Seahawks \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t touch any of them. On the other hand, I would not hesitate to use any Steeler \u2013they are going to come out flying. Ben Roethlisberger, Rashard Mendenhall, Mike Wallace and Heath Miller all start. Hines Ward becomes a decent flex. [ad-8469823]<\/p>\n

Arizona at Washington 1:00 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

I actually like Kevin Kolb in this game along with Larry Fitzgerald of course. Beanie Wells had a good Week 1 and has earned another Fantasy start in my eyes. For Washington, Rex Grossman, Tim Hightower, Fred Davis and Santana Moss are all strong starts this week against an Arizona defense that was torched by Carolina last week.<\/p>\n

Green Bay at Carolina 1:00 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings and Jermichael Finley are automatic. Jordy Nelson is a decent play here as well along with the new lead back of the Pack, James Starks. The defense is a good play here too. For Carolina \u2013 who know? Many will start Cam Newton but I would hold off at least another week. Steve Smith is the only sure-fire Fantasy start. Greg Olsen is a nice option too. Green Bay\u2019s run defense is strong and should limit Williams and Stewart.<\/p>\n

Dallas at San Francisco 4:05 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tony Romo is going to take the Cowboys on his back and will have himself a game on Sunday \u2013 Start with confidence. Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Jason Witten are also strong starts here. Felix Jones wasn\u2019t great in Week 1 and is just an OK start this week. Dallas has a soft defense \u2013 Frank Gore and Braylon Edwards should have good games along with Vernon Davis. I\u2019m still not sold on Alex Smith.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati at Denver 4:15 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Cedric Benson and maybe Jermaine Gresham for Cincinnati \u2013 that\u2019s it! For Denver, I expect a bounce back from Kyle Orton \u2013 start him and Brandon Lloyd.<\/p>\n

Houston at Miami 4:15 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

We are still not sure about Arian Foster which sucks \u2013 Ben Tate would be a good start in his absence. Matt Schaub is a decent start, Andre Johnson is unbenchable and Owen Daniels should be good as well. Jacoby Jones is an OK sleeper here as well. Chad Henne and Brandon Marshall looked good in Week 1 and warrant a start this week too. Reggie Bush is a decent flex in PPR leagues.<\/p>\n

San Diego at New England 4:15 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Shootout time \u2013 Rivers, Tolbert, Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates and even Malcolm Floyd are all great starts this week. For New England, Brady, Branch, Gronkowski, Hernandez and Wes Welker are all solid. Benjarvus Green-Ellis is just an OK play this week.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia at Atlanta 8:20 PM <\/strong><\/p>\n

Obviously start Mike Vick, along with DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy. Jeremy Maclin is all right as a flex this week. Atlanta is a terrific home team \u2013 Matt Ryan, Michael Turner, Roddy White, Julio Jones and even Tony Gonzalez are fine plays this week.<\/p>\n

St. Louis at NY Giants 8:30 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both of these teams are banged up. I would hesitate to start any of the Rams \u2013 seriously! No Steven Jackson, no Danny Amendola means I have no idea what to expect. For the G-Men, Hakeem Nick is in danger of missing this week. If he plays start him. If not, Mario Manningham becomes very intriguing. Ahmad Bradshaw will be fine, Brandon Jacobs is an OK flex and Eli Manning will be solid but unspectacular.<\/p>\n
