MUST START WRs for Week 2 Fantasy Football (Tier List)

Intro week two is officially underway as we see the Buffalo Bills take down the Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football today I bring forth my wide receiver rankings going into week two of fantasy football hopefully started one to0 but if not I got you covered with my locked in wide receiver ones my wide receiver 2os my wide receiver 3es and my favorite Flex plays this week we go through about 36 wide receivers if you're new to the channel so if you do enjoy make sure you leave a like down below but before we get into the tier list itself we go to the will they play tier starting off with Jameson Williams he was limited in practice in both Will They Play? Wednesday and Thursday uh he picked up an ankle injury in the Sunday Night Football win against the Los Angeles Rams again something to monitor we want to see if he practices on Friday does look like he is set to play against Tampa Bay but if you do have Jameson Williams do monitor his practice status going into Friday hiin wide receiver the Cincinnati Bengals did Miss week one with a hamstring issue does sound like he is set to miss in week two if he does play I don't want to put him in my lineup I want to see how he recovers from this injury I want to see this Bengals offense return to form a lot of risk putting T Higgins in your lineup even if he does suit up so regardless of whether he does play in this game or not he will not be playing in your fantasy football lineup this week Malik neighbors wide receiver of the New York Giants as per Jordan renan who covers the New York Giants doesn't appear to be anything serious his leg tightened during practice seems to be okay see how he feels tomorrow assuming he does practice today assuming he does look fine he is ready to be in my lineup in week two a guy that I'd be comfortable starting as a top 20 play at the wide wi receiver position and then finally Keenan Allen wide receiver of the Chicago Bears is dealing with a heel issue that he re-aggravated on Sunday's win uh it's very concerning again older wide receiver coming in this off season apparently has been dealing with this heal issue throughout training camp reag gravat it on Sunday it's scary to me I mean there's a real possibility that Keenan Allen is completely cooked despite leading the team in Targets in week one 11 targets he was able to turn into 29 receiving yard so even if he does play if he looks like he did in week one and he severely is lacking the move ability that we saw even from last year's Keenan Allen I do have a hard time trusting him in my lineup so with Keenan Allen play up by ear if you're in a deeper league and he does end up suiting up I don't mind putting him in one of your flexes but he's a guy that I have wide receiver four level expectations for even if he does suit up in this game but now moving on to my top 12 wide receivers we started off with Locked in WR1s (1-12) going into the Slate my wide receivers one and two respectively CD lamb of the Dallas Cowboys Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins obviously Tyreek Hill very unfortunate what was able to happen to this Miami off offense really lacking a lot of juice in this game even prior to tua's exit Tyreek Hill ends up with a stat line three receptions 24 receiving yards also adds a 12-yard rush and we will quickly address this hoping and praying for Tu a Tong by Lowa speedy recovery off of that head injury did not look good head hit the ground pretty hard obviously had the fening reaction for the second time in the last two years hoping and praying for a speedy recovery from tuong bya CD lamb we'll just talk about the match up real quick 26 and a half implied home points for the Cowboys going up against the Saints this week there is potentially no Marshon ladimore in this game Tyran Matthew also limited this week this is the getright spot for the Cowboys passing offense obviously very hampered by game script in week one going up big at halftime not really having to press the issue in the passing game in the second half I do think CD lamb is set to show why he was the true 101 coming into the season we'll move on to my wide receiv receiv receiver three with Cooper cup wide receiver of the LA Rams 23 and a half implied Rams points going on the road to play the cardinal this week pukan AA obviously big news goes on IR on Sunday Cooper cup goes back to looking like 2021 Cooper cup Big Time game environment for him we trust this offense We Trust sha McVey and is there any role more valuable than the Cooper cup role in fantasy football 21 Targets in week one looking like that Prime Cooper cup and there's no reason why he can't continue that man he's my wide receiver three on the week and there's a very real possibility he can enter wide receiver one status should he build on what he showed in week one we look like we're getting 2021 cup all over again wide receivers 4 and 12 respectively for me are Roman or St Brown of the Detroit Lions and Mike Evans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Big Time matchup this week Tampa Bay travels to Detroit Detroit in this game implied for 29 and a half points Mike Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers implied for 22 points with the Detroit allons obviously being seven and a half Point favorites in this game uh we'll just talk about it quickly for a monor St Browns perspective obviously overall this is the highest scoring game on the entire slate highest over under at 51 A2 this is a game we want to be targeting in DFS if you guys are building out your game Stacks you know your jayen McMillan run backs like every single player in this lineup in this game will have some sort of fantasy ceiling based off the game environment we're looking at here fast-paced teams will put up a lot of points monor St Brown obviously a tough performance in week one uh we saw Jameson Williams really take off in week one I do think this is the get right spot for aonor St Brown the buck secondary is completely banged up at this point Antoine Winfield already ruled to be doubtful for this game and I believe it was Zion McCullum and ta Kei Smith are also listed as questionable so this was already a fast-paced game environment high-scoring game environment but if Tampa is going to be missing three of their five starting DBS there is room for this Detroit Lions offense to absolutely explode in this game on the flip side with Mike Evans really love what I saw with new offensive coordinator Liam Con coming to this game motion rate fast-pace offense schemed open wide looks we also saw Mike Evans produced five catches 60 yards and two receiving touchdowns in week one high touchdown equity on this offense Baker Mayfield literally looks like Tampa Bay's version of Jared gof and I do think like I said this will be one of the higher scoring games of the entire slate Mike Evans Big Poppy Mike should score a touchdown to two as well moving on to my water receivers 5 and seven I have AJ Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles and Jamar Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals listed here uh with AJ Brown obviously the Eagles implied for 26.75 home points against the Falcons this week for Jamar Chase 21.25 implied Bengals points going on the road to play the Kansas City Chiefs and that is the main reason why I do prefer AJ Brown I think from a real life perspective from a talent perspective they are very even I think both these guys are top five real life talents and coming into the year I did prefer Jamar Chase because I do view the Bengals when they are operating at their full capacity as having a higher overall offens of volume cealing in terms of the passing game but the Bengals offense looked discombobulated in week one I mean Joe burrow doesn't look like himself Jamar Chase obviously Big Time hold out T Higgins didn't even play in this game they did not look like themselves against the Patriots and for me personally again I am confident enough to start Jamar Chase as a mid-range wide receiver one but when it has to come at the expense of other Elite options like AJ Brown I'm going to be starting AJ Brown I feel really good about what I saw with the Eagles offense in week one AJ Brown 33% Target share in that game I do think he is set despite even a potential match up against AJ Terrell to really perform in this game against the Falcons on Monday night football sucks for me I do play baki in the flock leag who does have AJ brown but I do think we see more of what we saw in week one that explosive AJ Brown and that explosive of eagles offense wide receiv receiver 8 Garrett Wilson of the New York Jets going on the road to play the Tennessee Titans this week and despite a tough matchup in week one obviously going against arguably the best defense in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers we saw exactly what we needed to see from this Jets offense this target hierarchy in this offense was Consolidated down to three players it was Garrett Wilson it was alen Lazard and it was Bree Hall and with Garrett Wilson he commanded 11 targets and a 38% Target share in that game I understand I mean Aaron Rogers a little rusty in that game but I thought he moved a lot better than I expected coming into the year and even if he's 75% 80% of the Aaron Rogers we saw between 2018 and 2022 with the Green Bay Packers that is by far the best quarterback that gett Wilson has had in his career again very Consolidated situation Tennessee Titans solid defensive performance against the Bears but I do think that the Jets are looking for a big time bounceback this week and I think Garrett Wilson will be the Catalyst of that in the passing game wide receivers 6 and N respectively for me are Debo Samuel coming in as my wide receiver 6 and Justin Jeff coming in as my wide receiver 9 obviously Big Time matchup Vikings traveling on the road to play the al4 mentioned San Francisco 49ers ners for Debo sake implied for 25.75 points with Justin Jefferson the Minnesota Vikings are implied for 20.75 and Deo is the big beneficiary of the CMC injury obviously Sans Jordan Mason Jordan Mason becoming an rb1 whereas if CMC were healthy he would be more so in the rb3 rb4 rb5 range but with Debo Samuel specifically the reason why I do mention that is when CMC is out of lineup we do see the type of rushing usage we want to from Debo Samuel Debo Samuel obviously a big- Time Conant in the passing game but when you're combining a 32% Target share along with eight carries and a goal line touchdown in the rushing game in week one it's hard not to be excited about this matchup obviously again High implied total this 49ers offense is clicking on All Phases and with Debo Samuel like we said he can pay off in multiple ways he can pay off in the rushing game he can pay off in the receiving game to the point where with CMC outman he goes from a wide receiver two level projection to where I have him right now as a mid-range wide receiver one and then my wide receiver n on of the week Justin Jefferson obviously on the flip side of the matchup I mentioned how strong this ners defense projects and I mean it comes down to the fact that while this Niners defense is Elite Justin Jefferson may very well just be the best wide receiver of all time again there are some concerns obviously does darnold hold up to the pressure does the explosive plays down the field get limited because the Niners defense aren't really prone to giving that up we will find out a lot but again when you're comparing him versus the other stud Talent wide receivers in better matchups and better offensive game environments I do prefer them to Justin Jefferson this week and then we'll group these last two together because they are the big risers going into my wide receiver one territory uh rashed rice wide receiver of the Cincinnati Bengals and Nico Collins wide receiver of the Houston Texans for rased Rice's sake 26.75 implied points for the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Bengals this week on the flip side for Nico Collins 26 implied Houston Texans points going up against Chicago Bears I mean if you just look at their roles in this offense you'll understand why they are big risers receiver ice 38% targets per route run 33% Target share and a 30% air yard share in week one according to Dwayne McFarland's utilization report and with Nico Collins 25% Target per out run 26% Target share 50% share of the air yards obviously came down with that huge explosive play down the field 55 Yard catch and double coverage they're just elite players and leite offenses with Elite quarterbacks that's what it comes down to for me and as a result they are going to be WI receiver one projections moving forward like I said at the top I'm going through about my top 36 wide receivers this week if you guys want access to all of mine and Cory's rankings you can

Manifesto the most useful tool for your fantasy football season but moving on to my highend wide receiver twos we start off with Jaylen wad of the Miami Dolphins a High End WR2s guy that I had obviously ranked as my wide receiver 13 going into the game does play Thursday Night Football four receptions 41 yards 8.1 PPR points it is very unfortunate we did not see that classic high-paced high-scoring Dolphins offense in this game and of course his quarterback with tu aunga vioa does leave the game early so unfortunate he was 13 we move on to wide receiver 14 here with Brandon auk wide receiver of the San Francisco 49ers very pedestrian performance in week one obviously did not look like that Prime Brenan auk we were accustomed to seeing last year but I do think this is the big bounceback spot this is a much more ideal matchup this week in Minnesota rather than having to play a bunch of outside cover snaps against s Gardner himself again San Francisco implied for a ton of points in this game Brandon auk Elite Talent obviously missed a ton of Camp I think this is the game where he goes seven catches 115 yards a receiving touchdown or two and the Niners offense looks like the best offense in the league but moving on to my wide receivers 15 and 17 we do have two players in the same Monday Night Football matchup Devon Smith wide receiver of the Philadelphia Eagles coming in at 15 Drake London wide receiver of the Atlanta Falcons coming in as my wide receiver 17 Eagles implied for 26.75 points Drake London and the Falcons implied for 20.25 in this matchup and like I mentioned when I talked about AJ Brown the Eagles looked extremely impressive on the offensive end in week one against Green Bay in that game we saw some extremely positive usage for devont Smith 70.7% of his sampled routes came in the slot and as we know Kell Moore big time slot Merchant in terms of an offensive play caller we saw it with Keenan Allen last year we've seen it with CD lamb in the past and Devonte Smith himself is a guy that actually thrives from the slot career 2.48 yards per route run in routes that have come out of the slot so if that's going to be his main role moving forward I do think we have to be treating him as at the very least a high in wide receiver 2 and if he brings a couple more good performances I think we can even consider him in the top 12 range that is how valuable the role is in this offense on the flip side with Drake London again a guy that we cited coming into the year high Target share High involvement player we were quoting the offensive potential jump that they could take Kirk HS obviously signed this off season did not look like himself in week one I'm not going to lie the Achilles I don't know what it was he just was not moving well he was not playing well obviously going to be rusty going to have to knock back some Rust but I am a little bit concerned with Kirk cousins' status however Drake London Alpha level Target share if we do see Kirk Cousins bounce back Drake London could even be under ranked at 17 wide receiver 16 for me is DJ Moore of the Chicago Bears only 19.5 implied points for the Bears going on the road to play the Texans on Sunday Night Football however DJ Moore he's a star- level Talent they are missing their two other wide receivers in the room with Keenan Allen dealing with the heel injury and with Roman dun dealing with that knee injury does sound like both those guys are either going to be in severe question or possibly out of this game on Sunday night with DJ Moore like we said this is not new to him I mean we saw last year him being the clear-cut alpha in a bad offensive situation with Justin fields and no other Target earners on this team last season the only difference is that kayb Williams despite had bad performance in week one still has the upside to be that generational quarterback we pegged him has coming into the season yes it was a bad first game rookie performance but we still know the ceiling is intact with Caleb Williams so I do have to raise DJ Moore to be a mid-range wide receiver too but as long as romad dun and Keenan Allen are out and as long as Caleb Williams potentially shows some growth he could even enter that wide receiv receiver one territory I'm saying this about a lot of players but that is how close nit this range is all these guys having a ton of upside on a weekly basis that doesn't change with DJ Moore Chris La wide receiver of the New Orleans Saints comes in as my wide receiver 18 obviously traveling on the road to play my beloved Dallas Cowboys you see it over my shoulder right now the Jersey hanging in the back with Ezekiel Elliott but the Saints are applied for 20.5 points and people might look that on face value and think 20.5 that's okay whatever after what the Cowboys showed in week one on the defensive end 20.5 is a very respectable total for this team and the reason why it's projected so high is that we saw a different age of the Saints offense with Clint kubia coming in obviously that San Francisco tree coming from the Shanahan system we saw a lot of motion we saw a lot of play action we saw a lot of revolutionized you know modern day offense where if you were comparing that to the Pete carmichel called Saints offenses it is a night and day performance I do think the Saints offense is legit chryst despite not commanding the level of targets we were used to seeing in week one is still coming into the season profiled as an elite Target earner going into year three with that breakout again still not an ideal matchup the Cowboys are obviously very good on the defensive end but if Chris gets back to that Target earning ability and he's on an offense that isn't at the complete bottom in the league and in fact may even profile to be in the top half of the league I am very intrigued with Chris I think he's one of the better by lows in fantasy but moving on to my lowend wide receiver 2os Chris Godwin wide receiver of the Tampa Low End WR2s Bay Buccaneers 22 impli points like I mentioned with Mike Evans for Tampa Bay traveling on the road to play the Lions and I'm all in on Liam con exactly what I need to see the slot usage the overall motion rate in this offense it looked like we were watching the Tampa Bay Rams that's basically the best way I can put it and the guy playing the Cooper cup role was actually going to be Chris Godwin so we know Mike Evans is a lot better in terms of the target competition than what we saw from Cooper Cup in 2021 however Mike Evans jayen McMillan and Chris Godwin are all going to be able to eat in this offense and specifically Chris Godwin he looked the best he's had since that 2019 breakout season where he had over 14400 yards where he was a top five wide receiver in fantasy do I think he has a top five level ceiling moving forward no but do I think he's a strong wide receiver 2 candidate on a week- toe basis based off the usage we saw in week one absolutely and speaking of usage in week one Michael Pitman Jr wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts 21.75 implied Colts points going on the road to play the Packers this week he commanded a 39% Target share in week one that is absolutely outrageous he didn't score a ton of fantasy points and I think that's the main concern I have with Michael pinman in the sense that he's just a possession chain mover on this offense again gets a ton of volume gets a ton of looks underneath but when you have ad Mitchell and when you have Alec Pier stretch in the field he's not getting those valuable down the field you know high air yard level Target so with Michael pman again very safe wide receiver to you know lowend wide receiver to projection and PPR leagues knowing he will be heavily involved but until we see that big play nature come back to his game I I think that's going to be the ceiling I don't view him as a guy that can finish as the wide receiver four overall in the week whereas some of the other wide receivers in this range I absolutely do feel have that in their range of oams but moving on to my wide receiver 21 we have Marvin Harrison Jr of the Arizona Cardinals 24.5 implied home points for the Cardinals this week going up against the Rams and I understand there is concern there is pessimism we did not see Marvin Harrison Jr look like the Marvin Harrison Jr prospect that was the number one greater wide receiver in the FSC Prospect model I understand the concerns we want to see him play better before we put him back up to the range where he was being drafted again a one-w turn pick maybe in some of your leagues he fell more to the midc but this was the highest drafted rookie receiver we have ever seen in fantasy football and I still think he's that level Talent obviously again not the week one performance we would have wanted to see one catch for four yards 1.4 PPR points but again he's still an Elite Talent he still has an opportunity to be an elite level Target earner assuming he can make that adjustment to NFL speeds he just really looked like he couldn't process the NFL at the highest capacity in week one he's still the level talent I viewed at Ohio State again I am a Michigan fan so me praising an Ohio State guy definitely does not feel good but Marvin Harrison Jr special and if you are able to get him for anything outside of top 20 price tags cuz people are concerned about his week one performance he is going to have a bounceback performance sooner rather than later hopefully it's this week I do have him at 21 but I do think that the bounceback is coming soon wide receiv receiv for 22 Devonte Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders only 16.5 implied points for the Raiders this week obviously going on the road to play the Baltimore Ravens I get it like volume is King in fantasy football but when you're a declining player in this bad of an offense I do have my concerns Devonte Adams again safery huge Target sharing this game I wouldn't be shocked if he had 10 11 12 even 13 Targets in this game against the Ravens given the game script we can expect going into that game obviously the Ravens are going to be heavy favorites but I'm concerned man is he going to be able to score touchdowns in this game is he going to be able to really provide those explosive play plays this game environment is just not something I want to be attacking again you have to have him in the top 24 cuz the volume is too good but he's not a guy that I view as having a high ceiling in fact like I said with Michael Pitman Jr I view Devonte Adams in an even worse Light number 23 for me is tank Dell of the Houston Texans obviously like I mentioned big Sunday night football match up between the Texans going to play the Chicago Bears at home this week 26 implied points for the Texans and I think people understand at this point or even if they don't I'm just going to make it clear Nico Collins is the wide receiver won on this team based on usage like we saw in week one but the biggest misconception is that people automatically assume because Stefon dick scored the most points in this room he is the wide receiver too on this team but if you actually look at the usage that would actually lean to tank Dell he out targeted seon digs he had 44% of the team a yards to Stefon digs 4% and tank Dell just flat out moves better than Stefon Digs at this point again he scored both the touchdowns so people are going to be high on Stefon digs obviously big name and fantasy in the past but tank Dell is the wide receiver too for me in Houston and again I think we're going to be able to see it on Sunday Night Football if Stefon digs doesn't punch in two touchdowns I think tank Dell is going to be the one that people will be Desiring after this week so remember I said this you can fact check me after the week if I'm right or wrong leave it in the comment section but watch receiver 24 for me this week is DK meaf of the Seattle Seahawks 21 implied Seahawks points going on the road to play the Patriots this week and I get it like if you started DK meaf in week one like I told you to I'm not going to lie I took the yellow there because he got the pater tan treatment Like Pat San was the Vehicle Manufacturer DK mcaf was strapped in seat belt on in the pat San vehicle because 24 of his 25 uh routes that he ran actually came against Pat San in this game so while he should be you know facing a very good Corner obviously I do believe in Christian Gonzalez long term young Corner potentially taking a step up in terms of his NFL standing Any Corner you play is going to be an easier matchup than having to play against the absolute lockdown that is San again a future Hall of Famer who's shadowing you for 99% of your R reps how do you expect to produce in fantasy so I do feel for DK despite Christian Gonzalez bringing a very good match up in his own right I think DK meaf is in store for a Big Time bounceback Performance because there's only one place to go and that is up after playing against Pat San but moving on to my wide receiver threes we start WR3s off with my wide receiver 26 this week with Xavier worthy of the Kanas City Chiefs obviously like I mentioned before Big Time Performance Big Time matchup sorry this week going up against Bengals at home it was the exact debut that Xavier worthy could have possibly had I mean didn't have a ton of targets didn't have a ton of usage at all three levels but he had two touchdowns he got the football in the end zone two times and that is why we're still targeting him as a wide receiver three obviously again we want to see better usage going forward we want to see him upgrade from a 13% targets per run rate an an 11% Target share in this game but at the end of the day when you are attached to Patrick Mahomes when you're attached to Andy Reid and you already command a 77% route share in your first game I want to be targeting you like I understand the targets need to go up to be consistently viewed as a top 26 top 30 overall wide receiver in fantasy but knowing the offensive insulation is this strong and knowing that he was a rookie in his first game showing the level of efficiency that he did I want to be targeting him so again wide receiver 26 may seem high based off the overall targets I don't care man he can score a touchd on and any single touch and coming in at wide receiver 26 we have Stefon Diggs of these Houston Texans obviously like I mentioned with tank Dell home game Sunday night football going up against the Bears there's going to be people mad in the comments I understand there's people probably already typing right now Stefon Diggs do you not know he had the most points of this Houston Texans wide receiver core in week one he scored both the touchdowns like it's Stefon Diggs like this is the same guy we're getting from Buffalo like no it actually isn't 4% of the air yards least amount of Target sh on this team it is very real that Stefon Diggs just had his best game as a Texan in his first game as a Texan so if you do have Stefon digs again I saw think given the attachment to this offense obviously Big Time insulated offense given the fact that he does impact the uh intermediate level of the field that the other two don't necessarily do I understand that but at the same time there's going to be people in your league valuing seon Digs at top 15 to 20 wide receiver rest of season and I simply don't view that to be the case again I think he is the clear wide receiver three on this team so if you do have a potential sell High window going into Sunday or if you're not unable to sell him on Sunday and he does have a good game it's going to be after Sunday because Point playing simple you you are not going to be able to continually outproduce tank Dell on the level of usage that they are getting respectively receiver 27 for me is Amari Cooper of the Cleveland Browns 19.25 implied Browns points this week going up against the Jags there's two ways to look at this I don't know if 27 is too high or too low but it felt like the nice medium spot for both these perspectives the first perspective glass half full Amari Cooper Alpha level Target earner David oku not being in this offense there's a very real possibility he is in the double digits for targets earned in this game and I fully understand that that is a variable possibility on the flip side though if you're looking at it at the glass half empty perspective Amari Cooper is in a terrible offensive in uh situation deshun Watson looked completely inept going up against the Cowboys in week one and like we said this is a very low implied total for this team so I don't know which perspective is going to be the right one again 27 feels like a good spot to be in the middle because the ceiling is there for Amari Cooper to be the alpha level Target earner and deshun Watson to look better when he's not playing against arguably a top three defense in the league but at the same time if this offense continues to struggle Amari Cooper is going to be not useless for Fantasy but more so in that wide receiver 33 34 35 range moving forward wide receiver 28 for me is z flowers of the Baltimore Ravens 25 implied points going to play the Raiders at home this week and this one could bite me but until we see the down the field usage for Z flowers I do have to view him as a mid-range wide receiver three 23% of the targets and a very vanilla offense in we week one the Ravens offensive line was a mess they weren't stretching the ball down the field overall in terms of the game plan I am a little bit concerned that if Z flowers doesn't have that downfield third level usage that we want to see and going up against a Vegas D that is a complete run fnal unit again if you have Derrick Henry by the way this is a great smash bot for him this week I'm concerned for Z flowers so overall again there's a very real possibility the Ravens get up early start Smash in the football Derrick Henry Lamar Jackson contributing in the rushing game that Z flowers has another line Sim to last week where it's seven catches for 53 receiving yards and if he doesn't score a touchdown at that point you're looking at exactly this a wide receiver three and wide receiver 29 on the week already age wrong I'm not going to lie I apologize to all of you who were in The Thursday live stream that I told to start Keon Coleman because I got to take the L here if you're watching this right now comment Danny takes the L on Ken Coleman because that's exactly what I'm doing here he led the bills in terms of rotes he led the bills in terms of Targets in week one but that didn't matter because he just wanted to produce a goose egg for me right zero points unbelievable like I I don't know what to make of this it's good process trusting the bills offense especially the number one wide receiver based off usage in week one and for a raw rookie wide receiver seeing that type of usage in week one showed me he was going to be able to produce in week two guess I was wrong and then closing off this range we have my wide receiver 30 on the week with Brandon Cooks of the Dallas Cowboys he's actually going to be my start of the week this week 26.5 implied Cowboys points at home this is the biggest get right spot for the Cowboys passing game that I have seen cuz like I mentioned with CD lamb Marshon lore already pretty much ruled out of this game has not practiced all week would be very surprised if he ends up suiting up in this game and of course tyr and Matthew both with dnps and limited participants throughout the week this week for the Saints defense the Saints defense is missing arguably their two best secondary players in this game like like I said with the Cowboys offense they're passing offense in the first half against the Browns was actually moving the ball down the field but they were victims of game script in that game I think going into this week again higher implied over under at 46.5 6.5 Point home favorites in this game I do think we expect to see Dak Prescott CD lamb and especially Brandon Cooks with no Jake Ferguson producing in a big way this week uh he's my start of the week top 30 again if you have Brandon Cooks again normally a guy that'd be in that wide receiver 40 to 45 range but with no Jake Ferguson on the field I think he's ready to explode watch receiv for 31 I have George Pickins of the Pittsburgh Steelers 19.5 and applied Flex Plays Steelers points this week on the road against Denver uh any lower would be disrespectful for George Pickins I do think he's a very good talent Alpha level Target earner on this team but I am concerned Justin Fields is starting this game they do have a low imply total and like I mentioned with DK meaf I don't want my wide receivers getting the pat San treatment and that's very well on the docka for this week Pat San in my opinion is the best cornerback in the NFL and as good as George Pickins is it will be tough to create separation against such a talented Hall of Fame level corner like Pat ceran is from a talent perspective again George Pickins is still a good enough receiver to maybe beat him once catch a play down the field obviously we saw in week one a tough match up for George Pickins still produced six catches for 85 yards so it's n algrim and again he's too talented of a player to have lower than this but I would temper my expectations if you have George Pickins expect a low-end wide receiver to type of range of elom rather than the prototypical you know wide receiver 24 25 he would typically be in these rankings wide receiver 32 we have Brian th Jr of the Jacksonville Jaguars Jaguars imply for 22.25 points in this game and disclaimer right now this may end up being the lowest I have Brian Thomas Jr ranked across the entirety of the rest of the season because what we saw in week one is a potential budding star on the surface uh as Greg Rosenthal also puts here again he looked like the true wide receiver one for the Jaguars team and he was winning at all three levels like Greg rosenal says beats Jaylen Ramsey draws a 40-yard Pi draws attention so K can convert a third and long and obviously of course beats Jaylen Ramsey for that toet tap touchdown on his third catch again 14.7 PPR points solid if not you know okay performance if I would say but for him to do that in his first game for him to get a starting level of snaps in his first game for him to be that 6'3 200 lb raw wide receiver coming into the league and do that in his first game I'm excited I think the wheels are up for Brian Thomas Jr and I do think this is the year of the rookie wide receiver I mean I think legitimately six seven eight of these guys could end up finishing as top 30 options and Brian Thomas Jr can very well be a top 24 option for what we saw in week one watch for 33 for me is Terry McClaren of the Washington commanders 22.25 implied commanders points this week at home against the Giants again very advantageous matchup obviously 22.25 one of the higher imply total we'll see from Washington throughout the year but the thing I'm concerned about is this is a very vanilla scheme that Cliff Kingsbury is uh running again no real motion a lot of left alignment for Terry McClaren in this offense and if we continue to see Daniels either taking off or passing low a DOT options across the offense I am concerned about Terry mcclaren's big play type of ability working with Jaden Daniels again what we saw in week one Tampa Bay was getting after him I understand it but if there's their one strength on defense for the Giants it's going to be getting after the passer with Brian Burns out of this off season with obviously Kayon thid in town Dexter Lawrence in the middle they can Rush the pass or they can push the pocket what I'm concerned about for Terry mcclaren's sake is at this point in Daniel's development he's either a low a DOT pass dump off player or he's going to take off and run like we saw in week one again until I see evidence that he can go through his progressions hit Terry mcen down the field I'm concerned about Terry mcen ceiling and fantasy wide receivers 34 and 36 respectively are Jaden Reed of the Green Bay Packers and Adine Mitchell of the Indianapolis Colts obviously big- Time Performance this week Colts traveling on the road to play the Packers Colts are actually two and a half Point Road favorites in this game and a healthy Jordan love again I understand Jaden Reed would be a top 20 wide receiver from what we saw in week one the explosive ples the yards after catch ability the straight dog he brings to the position like I'm a big Jaden Reed fan but I'm an even bigger Malik Willis hater I think Malik Willis is flat out not an NFL caliber quarterback so for me I am very concerned the fact that the Packers are implied for 19.25 points at home if Jordan love was in this game they would be implied for like 26 26 and 1 12 points that is a level of difference again Jordan Love An All Pro Caliber quarterback in my opinion a potential MVP candidate level quarterback top 10 in the league Malik Willis I don't view as being even an NFL caliber quarterback so until I see this offense really produce with mik Willis under Center I have to be docking Jaden Reed a good bit he comes in as a wide receiver one on the Packers and still a guy I really love but I want better options and better offenses at this point from what I know about Malik Willis on the flip side with ad Mitchell like I said with Brian Thomas this could very well end up being the lowest I have ad Mitchell for the rest of the season he had a very pedestrian stat line in week one but that's why we don't box score watch that's why we watch the games there were a couple other big plays especially one in particular where Adonai Mitchell is running wide open on the sideline and a just missed him again people might Point well a is an inacurate quarterback how can we not expect that moving forward I think it's sooner rather than later that we do see that these two connect and aai Mitchell was my wide receiver six in the class so if we do see a again he's already looking at him it's just some unfortunate that he did miss him a couple of times the fact that he's already getting these looks as a raw wide receiver coming in still being that 43 speed thread on the outside I do think big plays are in store for ad Mitchell moving forward starting this week against a packer secondary that was absolutely Flom by The Eagles offense in week one and then finally closing off the video as my wide receiver 35 we have Demarcus Robinson of the LA Rams like I mentioned before going on the road to play the Cardinals 23.5 implied points for the Rams this week no puku obviously that's the reason why he's going to be in my top 36 but people may be questioning you know is it Tyler Johnson is it Demarcus Robinson and for me personally I do view it as being Demarcus Robinson he had more rootes than Tyler Johnson 92% of the rootes versus 67% of the rotes for Tyler Johnson and we did see down the stretch in 2023 Demarcus Robinson have some big-time performance on this R Big Time performances on this Rams team obviously like we said despite the loss of pukin Kua they're still implied for a ton of points as long as Matthew Stafford and Sean McVey are running the show this offense will still be potent and Demarcus Robinson is the type of player that while Cooper Cup's going to be soaking everything underneath Demarcus Robinson can really impact that throw level of the field so I do think he catches a long touchdown from Stafford in this game but like I said at the Top If you guys enjoyed make sure you leave a like down below one of two ways access our weekly rankings Manifesto Underdog fantasy promo code fsse $10 plus Dollar on
