Fantasy Football: Who To Start, Sit For Week 2
Week 2 of the NFL season is an important one for all 32 NFL teams but is also a vital one for fantasy football owners across the country.
We all know how dire the stats are for NFL teams that start off 0-2 when it comes to their playoff chances and you can be certain those statistics are relatively similar for your team if you fall into an 0-2 hole to start the year.
So here to help you either climb out of your 0-1 hole and avoid a disastrous 0-2 start, or turn your Week 1 win into an early season winning streak in Week 2, are the fantasy football experts from CBS Sports: Nick Kostos, Jamey Eisenberg and Dave Richard.

Bryan Altman is, for some reason, an unabashed fan of the Rangers, Jets and Mets. If he absolutely had to pick a basketball team it would be the Knicks, but he'd gladly trade them for a championship for any of his other three teams.
