The fantasy football schedule is here for the weekend and some players to start or sit include Todd Gurley, Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Justin Forsett, Devin Funchess, Darren Sproles, Greg Olsen, Rashad Jennings, Terrance Williams, Cole Beasley, Victor Cruz, Ameer Abdullah, Joique Bell, Danny Woodhead, Melvin Gordon, Reggie Bush and Sam Bradford.
Coming into the week there are some players dealing with injuries, so names like Victor Cruz, Reggie Bush and Julius Thomas are SIT options for this week. Cruz is expected to return in a few weeks, while Dez Bryant could be out for over a month for the Cowboys. Bryant's injury makes Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley great START options for the week along with Jason Witten.
Ameer Abdullah and Joique Bell came into the season with owners expecting the two to share carries, but after Week 1, it was all Abdullah for fantasy owners. Abdullah is a great START option until the Lions show that they will make Bell the lead back, but in Week 2 both players actually could be worth starting. Bell is a SIT option for owners, but ONLY if they have a legitimate option to step in. Bell could be a solid option against the Vikings, as the team was gashed by Carlos Hyde in Week 1 of the season and those players could put up some numbers again.
Mike Evans is reportedly feeling much better for Week 2 and he is worth a START as long as his status doesn't change from that. Evans has been dealing with a hamstring injury and he missed Week 1, but head coach Lovie Smith said that Evans is likely to play against the Saints. Evans is questionable, so owners should watch the injury reports heading into the games on Sunday. But with all signs pointing to Evans playing, he is worth a START.
Julio Jones is coming into the week as probable for the Falcons and against a banged up Giants secondary, Jones is worth a hard START in all leagues. Jones put up nine catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns for the Falcons to start the season and he could have a monster year in 2015. Roddy White is also worth starting with the Giants D where it is right now.
Todd Gurley and Tre Mason are listed as questionable for the Rams coming into the weekend and there is a chance that at least one of the running backs can play on Sunday against the Redskins. Gurley right now looks like the better START option, as Jeff Fisher would not rule him out earlier in the week. Mason has been dealing with a hamstring issue and those can linger, so if the option is between the two, SIT Mason at least for another week.
Justin Forsett was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he was a full participant on Thursday and looks like he will be ready to go on Sunday. Forsett is a START option, while Darren Sproles is also worth a START with the Cowboys and the Eagles playing this week. Carolina has Houston this week and after the way the Texans played against the Chiefs, Devin Funchess and Greg Olsen are both worth starting. Funchess only had two targets against the Jags, but he should be better moving forward and Olsen is a solid TE option beyond the names like Jimmy Graham and Gronk.
