Fantasy Football Week 2 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em: Chris Johnson A Sit?

Because you can never have enough start/sit advice, we asked another partner, PlayThisGuy.com, to give us their consensus list of starts and sits. As you might know, they survey fantasy gurus across the Internet then compile those rankings for us. This week, they looked at 19 sources and their choices are below.

After Week 1, plenty of people like tight end Aaron Hernandez in New England, and these rankings are no different. Robert Meachem is also a "hot" play this week, he looks to get more action with Drew Brees and the Saints offense. Santonio Holmes is another one they like, but watch out, he has an injury issue.

Chad Ochocinco has fallen so far he's now a sit, even with Tom Brady and the uber-efficient Pats passing offense. And Chris Johnson a sit? That's what the gurus say about his matchup with the Baltimore defense. It would be tough to sit a stud like him. Even though Cam Newton was hot last week, against the Packers defense the survey says sit him. Some tough decisions to make on the "sit" side of the ledger.
