Cowboys' Dak Prescott, Rams' Matthew Stafford among Week 2 fantasy starts
Summary

For Week 2 of the NFL season, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys is recommended as a start against the Washington Commanders. Following a modest opening game performance, Prescott aims for an improved outing reminiscent of last season's success against Washington. Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams is also advised to start, despite his streaky history, as he looks to rebound from a loss in Week 1. Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers is expected to perform well against the Miami Dolphins. Conversely, fantasy players are advised to sit Malik Willis from the Dolphins, Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions, and Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, due to challenging matchups and recent performances.
