Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 2: Quarterback rankings
Quarterbacks have always been some of the highest-scoring Fantasy Football players. This makes it extremely important for Fantasy Football teams to pay attention to match-ups for their quarterbacks. The right situation can produce massive points and potentially be the difference between winning and losing. While the top few options should start just about every week, this strategy can be used for the rest of the field.
Here are three quarterbacks to target and three others to avoid for Fantasy Football in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season.
Week 2 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Start 'Em
Quarterbacks to target in Week 2 Fantasy Football.
Russell Wilson - Denver Broncos vs. Houston Texans
Much has been made about Russell Wilson having a relative struggle in Week 1 against his former team, the Seattle Seahawks. He was still solid in the game from a fantasy perspective, passing for 340 yards and a touchdown.
Russell Wilson on getting booed in Seattle “They may cheer for you, they may boo you, they’ll love you one day and they’ll hate you the next …I’m just grateful God’s given me the chance to play this game:..I play for an audience of one and that’s for him https://t.co/56T8NfEMzO
Wilson has a much more favorable match-up in Week 2 when the Broncos face off against the Houston Texans, one of the worst teams in the NFL. The game will also be in Denver, one of the most difficult stadiums for opposing teams to play in. Wilson could be in line for a big day in front of his new home crowd for the first time.
Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals vs. Dallas Cowboys
Turnovers were the biggest story of the game for Joe Burrow as the Cincinnati Bengals were defeated by the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. Nonetheless, he still put together a relatively strong statistical performance. Despite throwing four interceptions and losing a fumble, he still recorded 338 passing yards and 47 rushing yards with two touchdowns.
Burrow will continue to lead one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL. Week 2 will provide one of those opportunities when the Bengals take on the Dallas Cowboys, who ranked 20th in passing yards allowed per game last season.
Trey Lance - San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks
Trey Lance faced difficult weather conditions in the San Francisco 49ers' Week 1 loss against the Chicago Bears. It was pouring rain for the entire game, which often causes most offenses to struggle to find consistent production, especially in the passing game.
Lance recorded just 164 passing yards and failed to record a touchdown, but did chip in with 54 rushing yards. Lance's legs are one of his most dangerous weapons, which is beneficial for any Fantasy Football manager. He also gets an opportunity in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, who allowed the second-most passing yards per game last season.
