2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Season Pass: https://upperhandfantasy.com/seasonpass

Week 2 is where most managers make their first real mistake. One game of tape is enough to make people bench a guy who is walking into a far better matchup than the one he just had, and start someone whose production came in a spot that is gone this week.

17 calls, split into my starts, my desperate starts and my sits. Some of the starts are guys coming off quiet Week 1s that you are probably about to bench, and a couple of the sits are going to be uncomfortable after what those guys just did. One of them I told you to sit last week and I am starting him this week, and I explain exactly what changed.

None of it is gut feel. Every call is built on coverage splits, route participation, target share and what each defense actually gave up in Week 1.
