00:00Setting your fantasy football lineups is what we do best here with SI fantasy
00:06analyst Michael Fabiano for his week two. Stardom, sit-em, quarterbacks, and we're
00:11focusing on two starts and two sits. Fab, let's go with the positive first. Your
00:16two quarterbacks that you want in lineups this week. Who are they and why?
00:19Josh Allen, certainly a guy you want to start. He was a stardom last week, had a
00:24big game against the Jets, over 28 fantasy points. This week he gets the
00:28Dolphins. They gave up almost 26 fantasy points to Cam Newton, who, oh by the way, is
00:33very comparable to Josh Allen based on his skill set. And also, Allen has owned
00:38Miami during his career, scoring over 21 fantasy points per game in all four
00:42meetings, including three games with over 28 fantasy points and one game with over
00:4740. So Allen needs to be in your lineup. And speaking of Cam Newton, boy did he
00:52look good last week. 15 carries, 75 yards, two touchdowns, and I understand that
00:57having 15 carries a week for a quarterback is not sustainable, but keep
01:02this in mind, last year Seattle gave up the fourth most rushing yards and three
01:07rushing touchdowns to enemy quarterback. So while Cam may not give you 15 rushes
01:12this week, I still think he can give you success on the ground. And remember what
01:17Matt Ryan did to that defense last week. So Cam Newton should be in your lineup
01:21once again. Josh Allen and Cam Newton, both quarterback second pass and run. We
01:27know that boosts their fantasy value for sure. Let's go to the guys that are
01:30on the bench this week. You're not starting Carson Wentz or Jared Goff. Is
01:34it a bad matchup? Lack of weapons? What do you not like about these guys? It's
01:39definitely a bad matchup for both, including Carson Wentz, who I liked last
01:44week. And in the first quarter I was smiling. I thought, man, Wentz is gonna
01:47have a big game. And then Washington realized the Eagles offensive line is in
01:53mess right now. And eight sacks later, Wentz was a disappointment. Now you
01:57bring in the Rams and Aaron Donald, you don't think they're gonna get aggressive
02:01against that banged up offensive line? Yes, they are. So Wentz to me is a very
02:06risky start. I'd fade him this week. And then Jared Goff, he was a sit him for me
02:10last week. Didn't have a touchdown against the Cowboys, only 10.5 fantasy
02:14points. And the matchup in Philadelphia is tough. They are very, very formidable
02:19against quarterbacks on their home field. In fact, last year, only the
02:22Ravens gave up fewer fantasy points to quarterbacks on their home field than
02:27Philadelphia. So Jared Goff is a fade for me in week two. You can check out
