I need to start two guys from the following.
Tyler Eifert, home against the Chargers
Mike Wallace, home against the Lions
Roddy White, on the road against the Giants
and
Andre Johnson, home agains the Jets
Who would you all start?
First off I would take Andre Johnson off the board. I am super down on the guy after week one and would be really nervous starting him until he shows something, especially against a good Jets D this week. Did have 10 targets but looked slow, had some terrible drops and goes from playing 1 tough match up straight into another one.
Mike Wallace looks solid and he has some big play potential. Seems like a 5-10 point guy every week just like when he played with the dolphins with a chance to get behind the defense and put up a few more points a couple weeks out of the year. Lions D just got destroyed by Rivers this week but Bridgewater is nowhere close to that lvl of QB. 7 Targets last week.
Roddy White had a very solid game against the Eagles and is heading into a very favorable match up with the Giants D. Had 84 yards and was targeted 8 times the first week. With a great match up and the fact teams have to shift most of their attention to Julio Jones it gives him a chance to get his targets every week. I quite like this match up.
Tyler Eifert showed everyone what he could do last week and now he gets to face a Chargers D that gave up 11 fantasy points to Eric Ebron. I would take this matchup everyday of the week out of these 4 guys. Eifert had 12 targets and we showed everyone last week that he was gonna be a top target for this offense, he may not have 2 TDs and 100 yards this week but he will get his opportunities vs the Chargers. I have a hard time seeing Manti Te'o cover Tyler Eifert the whole game.
If it were me I would go Tyler Eifert and Roddy White. I like Mike Wallace but I think Roddy is in a better offense/situation that will give him more opportunities to make plays this week.
