Fantasy Football Week 2: Start/Sit Dilemmas Solved

Fantasy football owners faced a disappointing start to the season for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver George Pickens. In Week 1, Prescott threw for only 175 yards and an interception, while Pickens managed just three catches for 28 yards.

However, running back Javonte Williams emerged as a Week 1 fantasy star, scoring two touchdowns and adding five receptions for 72 yards from scrimmage. Despite a modest 41 rushing yards on 12 carries against the Giants, Williams' significant involvement in the passing game and touchdown opportunities make him a strong fantasy option.

Looking ahead to Week 2, fantasy analysts recommend starting all three Cowboys players. Prescott faces a Commanders defense that allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks last week and shows weaknesses in its secondary and pass rush. Pickens is expected to rebound against a suspect Commanders cornerback group, with Mike Sanristril identified as a potential weak link.

Williams also earns a start recommendation against Washington, despite their strong defensive front. His expected workload and touchdown upside outweigh the matchup concerns, making him a reliable fantasy asset for Week 2.
