Fantasy football rankings Week 2: Dave Richard's tough calls who to start, sit flex

Key Points:

• Fantasy Football success hinges on analyzing weekly matchups rather than draft order, using defensive schemes, personnel, and past performance to guide start/sit decisions.
• Key must-start players for Week 2 include Josh Allen, Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Jalen Hurts, and Saquon Barkley, while notable sits include Jared Goff, Khalil Shakir, Tyler Shough, and Carson Wentz.
• Several quarterbacks face challenging matchups or pressure situations, such as Jared Goff against Buffalo's defense, Joe Burrow facing a strong Texans pass rush, and Justin Herbert contending with Las Vegas' pass rush, suggesting cautious lineup choices.
• Wide receivers and tight ends like Dalton Kincaid, Tetairoa McMillan, Emeka Egbuka, and Harold Fannin Jr. have potential value based on matchup advantages and target share, whereas others like Terry McLaurin and Mike Gesicki have uncertain roles or limited upside.
• Running back roles are fluid, with players like Jaylen Warren emerging over Rico Dowdle, Jadarian Price needing to earn a larger role, and the importance of monitoring backfield usage to optimize Fantasy lineups.
