Must Start
1. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Sea – Get ready to see a completely different defense when Seattle comes to town.
2. Green Bay Packers vs. Car – Cam Newton’s 2nd start will be much different than his 1st. There won’t be another fantasy football breakout performance in Week 2 for Newton.
3. Baltimore Ravens vs. Ten – Look for the Ravens to make life miserable for Matt Hasselback and Co.
4. New York Jets vs. Jax – Expect the Jets to force multiple turnovers in Week 2.
Next
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Min – 39 passing yards for Donovan McNabb in Week 1. It looks like a nice start for Tampa.
New York Giants vs. Stl – The Rams are beat up and New York should have DE Justin Tuck back.
Dallas Cowboys vs. SF – Expect DE/LB DeMarcus Ware and Co. to force the 49ers Offense into multiple turnovers.
The Rest
St. Louis Rams vs. NYG – HC Steve Spagnuolo knows the Giants offense inside and out.
Washington Redskins vs. Arz – The Skins look much improved on D in 2011.
Chicago Bears vs. NO – The Bears are good at creating turnovers and returning it to the house. Not the best of matchups however.
New Orleans Saints vs. Chi – Cutler has shown on a number of occasions he’s especially careless with the ball on the road. The Saints are one of the more opportunistic defenses around.
Detroit Lions vs. KC – The hungry Lions will be a handful for the hurting Chiefs Offense in Week 2.
Houston Texans vs. Mia – The Texans look improved under DC Wade Phillips.
Denver Broncos vs. Cin –The Bengals will most likely turn back to rookie QB Andy Dalton.
Fantasy Sleeper
Buffalo Bills vs. Oak – The Bills held the Chiefs to 7 points and forced turnovers. The Raiders are traveling cross country and the Bills have a great shot to start the season 2-0. The D/ST is a solid fantasy sleeper this week.
