Week 2 NFL Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Steer Clear of These 4 QBs

QBs are very difficult to predict.

Who in their right man would have thought Cam Newton could throw for over 400 yards on the road in his first ever NFL game? How about Tom Brady throwing for over 500 yards on a respectable (or so we thought) Miami Dolphins defense?

This week brings another round of guessing and here are four QBs to avoid at all costs in Week 2:

Sam Bradford @ New York Giants

He bruised his finger against the Eagles and only put up 188 yards. We thought the dink-and-dunk days of his rookie season were over, but it looks like the Rams coaching staff is still afraid to let Bradford off his leash.

Considering he will be squaring off against a ferocious Giants front-four, skip him this week.

Matt Ryan vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Ryan may have thrown for 316 yards, but he didn’t find the end zone. In fantasy, this is unacceptable.

Now he faces the best secondary in the league in the Philadelphia Eagles, and the results will be similar.

Josh Freeman @ Minnesota Vikings

The passing yards were non-existent until a fourth quarter frenzy for Freeman. The Vikings forced a much better QB in Phillip Rivers into two interceptions.

They played the deep ball very well and that means the Freeman-Mike Williams combination is in trouble.

Expect lots of short completions that slowly move the offense down the field. The Bucs offense will rely on the run in Week 2. Not what Freeman fantasy owners want to hear.

Kevin Kolb @ Washington Redskins

Kolb looked solid in Week 1, but it was against a horrendous Panthers defense.

The Redskins have quietly assembled one of the best back sevens in the league with DeAngelo Hall and Carol Landry leading the way.

With the chemistry between Kolb and Larry Fitzgerald still a work-in-progress, keep Kolb on the bench this week.
