Start Sam Leavitt With Confidence In Week 2
LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt finished Week 1 as QB6, scoring 35.5 fantasy points against Clemson. The transfer junior completed 59% of his 27 attempts for 230 passing yards, one touchdown, and one interception; he added 12 carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His 113 yards on the ground marked a career best, and it's unclear if that production will continue, as 62 of his rushing yards came on six scrambles per PFF. This week, LSU hosts Louisiana Tech, which was a below-average pass defense last season, allowing 240 pass yards per game. Per BetMGM, LSU is favored by 35.5 points, which could mean a short game for Leavitt if they opt to bench him in the third quarter in a blowout game. Leavitt is ranked as RotoBaller's QB5 for Week 2, and fantasy owners should be confident rolling him out as a QB1.
