Rather than quickly listing start em and sit em players on my Week 2 NFL Picks page, I thought I'd devote a page for this. Follow @walterfootball for updates.

Sit Em:
This is not a very good time share against an improved defense.
Jayden Reed is not much of a factor once again.

Pittsburgh Steelers (1-0) at New England Patriots (0-1)
Start Em:
Rhamondre Stevenson is handling the full workload.
Romeo Doubs just embarrassed himself. He should rebound now that he's the No. 1 option.
PIT: None.
NE: QB Drake Maye.
Sit Em:
Another ugly committee to avoid.
If the Patriots don't trust TreVeyon Henderson, why should you?

New Orleans Saints (0-1) at Baltimore Ravens (1-0)
Start Em:
Tyler Shough figures to get a lot of garbage-time stats once again.
The Saints somehow have just four receivers on their roster.
NO: RB Travis Etienne, WR Chris Olave, TE Juwan Johnson.
BAL: QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, Ravens Defense.
Sit Em:
Mark Andrews is washed up.

Start Em:
PHI: QB Jalen Hurts, RB Saquon Barkley, WR DeVonta Smith, TE Dallas Goedert, Eagles Defense.
TEN: WR Wan'Dale Robinson (PPR).

Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) at Los Angeles Chargers (0-1)
Start Em:
Las Vegas' No. 1 receiver has an easy matchup.
Michael Mayer can be used if Brock Bowers is out again.

Sit Em:

Washington Redskins (0-1) at Dallas Cowboys (0-1)
Start Em:
The Cowboys had no answer for Isaiah Likely on Sunday night.
WAS: QB Jayden Daniels.
DAL: DAL: QB Dak Prescott, RB Javonte Williams, WR CeeDee Lamb, WR George Pickens.
Sit Em:
Stefon Diggs is washed up. He scored last week, but touchdowns are fluky.

Seattle Seahawks (1-0) at Arizona Cardinals (1-0)
Start Em:
Jadarian Price's workload should increase each week.
Michael Wilson should be able to benefit from garbage time.
SEA: WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
ARZ: RB Jeremiyah Love, TE Trey McBride.
Sit Em:
Marvin Harrison Jr. continues to disappoint.

Miami Dolphins (0-1) at San Francisco 49ers (1-0)
Start Em:
Caleb Douglas is Miami's No. 1 receiver, so he'll have a chance at garbage time in this game.
MIA: RB De'Von Achane.
SF: QB Brock Purdy, RB Christian McCaffrey, WR Mike Evans, TE George Kittle.
Sit Em:
I wouldn't expect a repeat from Australia.

Indianapolis Colts (0-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-0)
Start Em:
IND: RB Jonathan Taylor, TE Tyler Warren.
KC: RB Kenneth Walker, WR Rashee Rice (PPR).

Daniel Jones is not healthy.
I need to see Patrick Mahomes healthy before trusting him.

Blake Corum is getting a 50-50 workload compared to Kyren Williams.
