Fantasy Football Week 2 Start Em Sit Em: 5 to Sit, 5 to Start

I'm sure that many fantasy owners were drooling at the success that their quarterbacks had last week, as 14 quarterbacks passed for 300-plus yards during Week 1. On the other side of that, there were probably a good handful of fantasy owners freaking out seeing quarterbacks like Chad Henne and Rex Grossman putting up 300-plus yards against their squads. 

Entering Week 2, there are sure to be loads of points going out, as the NFL is 100 percent a passing league and quarterbacks will put up huge numbers—it's almost that quarterbacks have now surpassed running backs in importance, with now more teams throwing the ball more and with more running back-by-committee backfields.

With that being said, here are five players you need to start and five players that you need to sit for Week 2.  

Start: Rob Gronkowski

Rob Gronkowski is now a legitimate option at tight end and should be a starter in most leagues. 

Gronkowski had himself a field day against the Miami Dolphins a week ago, as he snagged six balls for 86 yards and one touchdown. In normal point systems, that's 14 points, and in points-per-reception leagues, that's 20 points. 

Gronk and the Patriots will be squaring off against the San Diego Chargers, and this is going to be a shot-out. Gronk is arguably Tom Brady's third favorite option, outside of Wes Welker and Deion Branch, and should receive plenty of targets this week.

Rob Gronkowski is a must start. 

Sit: Donovan McNabb

There is no reason that any fantasy owner should be starting Donovan McNabb this week—in fact, they may be better off starting Colt McCoy, Cam Newton, Alex Smith and Luke McCown over the once-great fantasty quarterback.

McNabb's days look to be over, and he is no longer worthy a start in any fantasy league.

During his debut as a Minnesota Viking, he simply "stunk up the place" with only 39 yards passing—how is that even possible? 

Minnesota will be playing against Tampa Bay this week, which could be a tough matchup for McNabb and the Vikings. 

Start: Chris Johnson

There should never be an excuse to not starting Chris Johnson. I don't care how poorly he played against the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, if you have him, you need to start him. He's just that talented.

CJ2K is one of the few elite fantasy running backs in the game, and you cannot afford to have him on your bench. 

Tennessee will be taking on Baltimore this week, which is a terrible matchup. However, you need to start Johnson. He is the Titans' top offensive weapon, and if they want any chance of winning, they're going to have to feed him the ball. 

Do not give up on Chris Johnson quite yet. 

Sit: Chad Ochocinco

For all of you who drafted Chad Ochocinco thinking that he'd be the next Randy Moss, I am honestly sorry for you as you were completely mistaken. 

Ochocinco is not Moss and he is not even one of New England's top options at wide receiver. 

In his New England debut, Ochocinco played a total of 18 plays out of their total 80 offensive plays. Isn't that alarming? 

In those 18 plays, Ochocinco was targeted only three times and walked away with one reception for 14 yards. 

Ochocinco isn't even New England's third option, as Wes Welker, Deion Branch, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and even Danny Woodhead are all ahead of him right now.

Do not start Chad Ochocinco. 

Start: Shonn Greene

Shonn Greene and the New York Jets struggled running the ball last week against the Dallas Cowboys, as the team ran for only 45 yards on just 16 attempts—not very Jet-like. 

With Rex Ryan at head coach, they're going to try to establish the run, as that's what the Jets identity is. 

With such a poor performance last week, Greene should receive far more touches and easily has a chance at running for 100 yards against the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Sit: Matt Cassel

Matt Cassel and the Kansas City Chiefs are likely in for a rough day against the Detroit Lions. I am picking that the Lions are just going to smoke the Chiefs on their way to a 2-0 record. 

Cassel struggled tremendously in his season debut against the Buffalo Bills—who would have thought? 

Cassel completed 22 of his 36 passes for 119 yards while scoring one touchdown and being intercepted once. This week, Cassel will be facing a defense that sacked Josh Freeman twice and forced him to throw one interception. 

If you have a better option on your bench, someone like Kevin Kolb, then you need to start him ahead of Cassel—I know that I am. 

Start: Vincent Jackson

There shouldn't be any real question on starting Vincent Jackson, only if you have a few other options better than him—which means that you likely stocked up at wide receiver.

Jackson is going up against, in my opinion, one of the worst secondaries in the league, the New England Patriots.

This past Monday, the Patriots let Chad Henne throw for 416 yards, and Brandon Marshall caught seven passes for 139 yards. Jackson should be able to put up similar numbers as long as Philip Rivers is able to get him the ball. 

Sit: Brent Celek

Surprisingly, the Philadelphia Eagles passing attack struggled tremendously against the St. Louis Rams last Sunday, as Michael Vick was only able to complete 43.8 percent of his passes.

This week, Vick and the Eagles will be facing against a much better defense in the Atlanta Falcons—so figure Brent Celek to struggle as well.

Celek only caught one pass last week for 13 yards.

If you have a better option on your bench, someone like Aaron Hernandez or Jermaine Gresham, I'd give them the start over Celek. 

Start: Owen Daniels

Owen Daniels was a major disappointment last week, as many figured that he'd put up big points against a struggling Indianapolis Colts team. Daniels was able to only catch one pass for only 12 yards. 

This week, Daniels and the the Houston Texans will be facing the Miami Dolphins, a team that was recently torched by Tom Brady and New England's offense. In that game, New England's two tight ends, Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez, had a field day as the two caught a combined for 13 receptions for 189 yards and two touchdowns. 

Daniels is primarily Houston's lone tight end, so it's safe to say that Miami's linebackers struggle in coverage and Daniels could produce mass amounts of points. 

This is a must start. 

Sit: DeAngelo Williams

If you own DeAngelo Williams, you need to find another option—you have to sit this guy.

Williams struggled tremendously against the Arizona Cardinals last week, a team that was league-worst against the run a year ago. Williams ran for only 30 yards on 12 carries—pretty pitiful, if I do say so myself. 

This week, Williams and the Carolina Panthers will square off against the Green Bay Packers, a defense that held the New Orleans Saints to only 81 yards rushing—not a favorable sign for Williams. 

You may scratch your head on this one, but it's almost a no-brainer—look at the stats.
