Every week, Mike Mital is responsible for telling fantasy football owners around the world who to sit and who to start. This is not your grandpa’s ordinary, boring start em sit em list–this is bold! You’ve been warned…
Week 2 Start Em
T.J. Yeldon – Jax RB
With fellow running back Chris Ivory likely out Week 2 due to illness, Yeldon will get all the touches he can handle against a Chargers defense that let Spencer Ware run all over them in Week 1. Against Green Bay, Yeldon had 21 carries and a touchdown while catching 4 passes. In PPR formats, Yeldon is a must start this week as his versatility will serve him well in this matchup.

Week 2 Sit Em
Tyrod Taylor – Buf QB
After his Week 1 performance against his former team, the Ravens, it looked like T-Mobile ran out of service. He struggled without his top 2 receiving targets, Sammy Watkins and Charles Clay at full strength, and was not able to get anything going with his legs, which usually boosts his fantasy value. On our podcast show, we predicted Thursday Night Football to be a low-scoring affair which will not bode well for Taylor against the Jets. Stay far away from this one folks.
