I'm Tara Roberts for Yahoo Fantasy with stardom.
Sit for week two.
I've got three borderline players for you.
We will start off with the man of the hour.
Isaiah likely if you are wondering whether or not we can trust Isaiah likely again in week two and start him over other tight end ones.
Yes.
Yes, you absolutely can.
I would rather start Isaiah likely over tight ends like Pat Frim youth and Dallas Goddard.
We shouldn't expect another 20 plus point performance from him, but trust the Ravens to see him as a constant within their offense and he will continue to get targets.
JK Dobbins pushed immediately into the lead back role in week one, but do not underestimate the value that Gus Edwards brings in a good matchup here and this is a great match up against the Carolina Panthers.
It's very unlikely that we see Dobbins get an extreme amount of carries and Edwards should still see within that 10 to 15 touch range, which is good enough to produce volume, good numbers against the Carolina Panthers with running backs dropping like flies everywhere.
If you need a spot start, Edwards could be your guy Christian Kirk's week one performance was a big letdown but are we trusting him to bounce back in week two?
Unfortunately, for me, Kirk is a sit this week, Brian Thomas was a start for me last week and he pulled through with four receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown.
Kirk on the other hand, had just one reception for 30 yards.
We shouldn't write him off completely and drop him to waivers, but it is tough to start him in week two.
