Start / Sit2026 NFL Week 2

Start

• David Montgomery (RB, HOU) over Travis Etienne Jr. (RB, NO). Montgomery was Houston's go-to man in the red zone, scoring two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown in Week 1, while Etienne split carries with Kendre Miller and Alvin Kamara could return from injury this week for a Saints team that is an 8.5-point road underdog in Baltimore.
• Jordan Mason (RB, MIN) over Tony Pollard (RB, TEN). Mason led the Vikings' backfield in touches (15) and has a great matchup against the Bears, who gave up the league's highest rush success percentage, while Pollard split snaps nearly 50-50 with Tyjae Spears and totaled just 34 yards on eight touches.
• Terry McLaurin (WR, WSH) over DK Metcalf (WR, PIT). Metcalf caught just four of ten targets for 40 yards and now faces a likely Christian Gonzalez shadow, while McLaurin gets a Cowboys pass defense that struggled to close out their own Week 1 game.

Sit

• Kyle Pitts (TE, ATL). Pitts saw only one target with Cooper Rush under center, and Carolina goose-egged Colston Loveland in Week 1.
• Harold Fannin Jr. (TE, CLE). He had just two receptions for 21 yards in a broken Cleveland passing game, and the Browns are 8.5-point underdogs at Tampa Bay.

Flex of the Week

Kaelon Black (RB, SF). San Francisco is a 13.5-point home favorite against Miami, the largest spread of the season, and Black can carve out 12 to 15 touches per week to spell McCaffrey in a game script built for fourth-quarter carries.
