ON THE GRIDIRON: Identifies a Quick Hit list of fantasy football players you should put in your roster because of their match-up, or because of their role on their team’s offense.
NOTE: This list is inclusive of all Week 2 games. To read our narrative with analysis on each game’s match-up, see our review of Thursday night’s game between the Bears and Packers and our review of the Sunday & Monday games, to be posted throughout the week. As information heading into each game may change circumstances, remember to check back for updates to this and other Quick Hit lists. Also, since kickers’ weekly performances are difficult to predict, kickers will not be categorized but defenses (DST) will. As to kickers, just get a good one on a team that will give the kicker an opportunity to score points.
