The WR Landscape: Post-Week 1
Week 1 was a rollercoaster ride, wasn't it? Some of our WR darlings shone bright, while others... well, let's just say they need a little more time to gel with their new QBs. But that's the beauty of fantasy football – every week is a fresh start!
Before we dive into our Week 2 Fantasy WR Rankings, let's quickly recap the Week 1 WR highlights:
- Davante Adams reminded us why he's the WR1 with a monster performance (14/15 targets, 141 yards, 2 TDs). - Tyreek Hill showed off his speed and agility, hauling in 11 passes for 197 yards and a TD. - Stefon Diggs proved to be a reliable target for Josh Allen, catching 8 passes for 118 yards and a TD. - CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup both had impressive outings, solidifying their spots in the Cowboys' WR corps.
But enough about last week – let's focus on what's ahead!
Week 2 Fantasy WR Rankings: The Cream of the Crop
1. Davante Adams, GB @ DET
- 2. The Packers face off against the Lions, who surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points to WRs in Week
- 1. Adams' target share (36%) and air yards (220) were elite, and with Aaron Rodgers looking sharp, Adams is a no-brainer WR1.
2. Tyreek Hill, KC vs. BAL
Hill's Week 1 performance was nothing short of spectacular, and we're eager to see him build on that against the Ravens. Baltimore's secondary is no joke, but Hill's big-play ability makes him a must-start. Plus, with the Ravens likely to lean on their run game, the Chiefs might be forced to pass more than usual.
3. Stefon Diggs, BUF vs. MIA
Diggs had a quiet Week 1, but don't let that fool you. The Bills' WR1 saw 10 targets and played 96% of snaps. Facing a Dolphins' defense that just gave up the fourth-most fantasy points to WRs, Diggs is primed for a bounce-back performance.
Week 2 Fantasy WR Rankings: Sleepers and Streaming Options
1. Darnell Mooney, CHI @ CIN
Mooney led the Bears in targets (7), receptions (7), and receiving yards (121) in Week 1. With Allen Robinson likely to draw Jalen Ramsey's coverage, Mooney could feast on the Bengals' lackluster secondary. He's a solid WR3/flex play with WR2 upside.
2. Marquise Brown, BAL @ KC
Hollywood Brown got off to a slow start, but his matchup against the Chiefs' vulnerable secondary makes him an intriguing streaming option. The Chiefs allowed the most fantasy points to WRs in Week 1, and with Lamar Jackson likely to air it out, Brown could be in for a big game.
3. Russell Gage, ATL vs. TB
Gage led the Falcons in targets (10), receptions (9), and receiving yards (91) in Week 1. While his Week 2 matchup against the Buccaneers isn't ideal, Tampa Bay's defense is banged up, and Gage's target share makes him a sneaky flex play.
Week 2 Fantasy WR Rankings: Avoid in Week 2
1. Mike Evans, TB @ ATL
Evans saw just 4 targets in Week 1 and faces a Falcons' defense that held WRs to the fewest fantasy points in Week 1. With Chris Godwin likely to see more targets and Tampa Bay's run game clicking, Evans is a risky WR2 play this week.
2. A.J. Green, ARI vs. MIN
Green's Week 1 performance was underwhelming (3/5 targets, 28 yards), and his matchup against the Vikings' stingy defense doesn't bode well for a bounce-back. With DeAndre Hopkins likely to draw Xavier Rhodes' coverage, Green is best left on benches this week.
