Week 2 Fantasy Football: London, Gesicki, and Bourne Flagged as High-Risk Starts

Fantasy analysts advise caution for several players after Week 1, citing low snap shares, backup quarterback situations, and rotational roles. Drake London, Mike Gesicki, and Kendrick Bourne are highlighted as risky due to inconsistent usage and offensive instability, while SportsLine’s model flags Juwan Johnson as a fade. Experts emphasize that Week 1 data often overreacts to small samples, urging managers to prioritize underlying metrics like snap counts and target shares over box score totals. The NFL’s high scoring average in Week 1 suggests many players may have peaked early, making Week 2 a critical test for consistency.
