The Top DSTs To Start in Week 2
Dallas Cowboys, DST
Fantasy managers were a bit skeptical of plugging Dallas back into their starting lineups for Week 2 in a matchup against the Aaron Rodgers-led Jets. Unfortunately, the Jets are not going to have Rodgers for this matchup, which means that the Cowboys could put up another monstrous performance in Week 2.
While New York is going to be hunting around other QB options, they’re not going to be ready to start in Week 2. This means that Zach Wilson will be back at QB, going up against arguably the best defense in the entire NFL. If you were hesitant at all, you shouldn’t be now.
Cleveland Browns, DST
The Cleveland Browns’ defense put on an absolute show in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. They held Joe Burrow in check the entire game and put pressure on him essentially every dropback.
Heading into Week 2, they now get a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers offense that struggled mightily to do much of anything in Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers. Cleveland’s a little bit further down the rankings right now, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they move up by the start of Week 2.
