Week 2 of the 2024 fantasy football season will kickoff with a Thursday Night Football matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins. Both teams are loaded with offensive weapons that are relevant options for fantasy lineups. Here are the players who make for the best targets and those who should be avoided.
TNF Dolphins vs Bills Fantasy Football Week 2 Start 'Em picks
The Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills featured two of the highest-scoring offenses in the NFL last season. While the Bills lost their top two wide receivers during the offseason, their strong Week 1 performance demonstrated that the changes are yet to slow them down.

The Dolphins returned almost all of their starters, so they are expected to continue their elite production.
This matchup will be headlined by two of the best fantasy football quarterbacks in Josh Allen and Tua Tagovailoa.
Allen has finished as a top-two fantasy quarterback in each of the past four seasons and was the QB1 in Week 1 this year. Tagovailoa finished as the QB9 last week but has even more upside in this matchup, which is projected to be high-scoring one.
In a potential shootout, many offensive players from this game make for valuable options in fantasy football lineups. Tyreek Hill is the best player to target from the Dolphins, while James Cook makes for an excellent running back pick. Here's who else joins them.

- Tua Tagovailoa
- James Cook

TNF Dolphins vs Bills Fantasy Football Week 2 Sit 'Em picks
In a favorable matchup with two elite offenses in a projected high-scoring contest, most fantasy football players make for solid options. Managers must still be aware of who to fade or they will risk a bad start to Week 2.
Curtis Samuel has fallen off of the fantasy radar this week after recording just two targets and 15 yards in his first game with the Bills. He can't be trusted in starting lineups unless he proves to be more involved in their offense.
Jonnu Smith is another player who entered the 2024 season with relatively high expectations. But his one reception for seven yards last week makes him a clear fade.
Here are the rest of the players joining them that should be avoided.
Must Sits
- Jonnu Smith
- Curtis Samuel
- Ray Davis
- Jeff Wilson Jr.
DFS Fades
- Keon Coleman
- Raheem Mostert
- Curtis Samuel
