Early Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks for Week 2 ft. Justin Fields, TreVeyon Henderson, Hollywood Brown, David Njoku

Week 2 of the 2025 fantasy football season has nearly arrived as the first slate of games wraps up with Monday Night Football. The first week of any season always teachers managers certain factors, such as expected workloads and offensive philosophies. It also always comes with surprises, so here are some of the best targets and fades in Week 2 as expectations have changed.

Fantasy Football Week 2 Start 'Em Picks

Justin Fields once again proved that he is an elite fantasy football quarterback whenever he is a starter. He turned in yet another top five weekly finish in his first game with the New York Jets, largely due to his two rushing touchdowns. He is an excellent Week 2 pick against the Buffalo Bills in a situation where he will likely need to score often to keep up with Josh Allen.

Hollywood Brown is another strong pick for Week 2 lineups given the Kansas City Chiefs' current dilemma at wide receiver. Rashee Rice is serving a suspension and Xavier Worthy injured his shoulder last week, so Brown is likely to take over as their featured target going forward. He totald ten recpetions on 16 targets last week, giving him a bright fantasy outlook.

Fantasy Football Week 2 Sit 'Em Picks

TreVeyon Henderson was one of the most hyped rookie entering the 2025 fantasy football season. He was expected to immediately eclipse Rhamondre Stevenson as the New England Patriots' featured running back, but that wasn't quite the case last week. It was nearly an even split, with Henderson's 11 touches barely exceeding Stevenson's nine touches, making Henderson a player to avoid in Week 2 lineups.

David Njoku is another player to fade in Week 2 fantasy football as his role with the Cleveland Browns is now unclear. He has been their featured tight end for most of his career, but he was outperformed by rookie newcomer Harold Fannin Jr. Njoku had three receptions on six targets, while Fannin turned in an impressive seven receptions on nine targets, so Njoku can't currently be trusted in lineups.

Must Sits

Russell Wilson
Tua Tagovailoa
TreVeyon Henderson
Tank Bigsby
Kareem Hunt
Cooper Kupp
Michael Wilson
Rashod Bateman
David Njoku
Dalton Schultz
