Week 1 is behind us, and we’ll find out what was true and what was fool’s gold. This is the real test of who will overreact from Week 1. Do you sit Coleston Loveland because you think 0.0 fantasy points is a sign of things to come? We both know the answer. So sift through these starts, fades, and sleepers and let me know what you think. Best of luck in all your Week 2 matchups!

QUARTERBACKS

START

Jordan Love (GB) v. NYJ

The Packers face a much easier defense in the Jets than the Vikings did in Week 1. With the running back room still in flux, look for Love to spread the ball around to Christian Watson and company. A top-12 finish is in his range of outcomes.
