Justin Jefferson, WR, Vikings (at Eagles)- 15 Points
6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Justin Jefferson is a no-brainer play, even against a great secondary.
Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Bengals (vs. Ravens)- 14 Points
5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Ja’Marr Chase status obviously hinges on Joe Burrow’s health.
Stefon Diggs, WR, Bills (vs. Raiders)- 14 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Stefon Diggs won’t have any issues getting open against the Raiders.
A.J. Brown, WR, Eagles (vs. Vikings)- 14 Points
5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
A.J. Brown figures to thrive against Minnesota’s poor secondary.
Calvin Ridley, WR, Jaguars (vs. Chiefs)- 14 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Calvin Ridley looks absolutely dominant in his debut with the Jaguars. In fact, he nearly scored a second touchdown.
CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys (vs. Jets)- 13 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
CeeDee Lamb will be matched up against a real cornerback this week.
Tyreek Hill, WR, Dolphins (at Patriots)- 13 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Tyreek Hill went 8-94 in the first matchup against the Patriots last year.
Davante Adams, WR, Raiders (at Bills)- 13 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
Davante Adams has a tough matchup, but he can dominate in any game.
Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR, Lions (vs. Seahawks)- 11 Points
7 Catches, 100 Receiving Yards.
Amon-Ra St. Brown figures to get all the targets until Jameson Williams returns from suspension.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers (at Rams)- 9 Points
6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
Brandon Aiyuk can continue to dominate in an easy matchup.
Mike Evans, WR, Bucs (vs. Bears)- 9 Points
5 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
Mike Evans has another great matchup.
Keenan Allen, WR, Chargers (at Titans)- 9 Points
8 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
Enjoy Keenan Allen while he’s healthy! He should perform well versus the Titans.
Mike Williams, WR, Chargers (at Titans)- 9 Points
6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
The Chargers will go deep more frequently with Kellen Moore as the offensive coordinator, so that should benefit Mike Williams.
DeVonta Smith, WR, Eagles (vs. Vikings)- 9 Points
5 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
DeVonta Smith is always live for a spike week, especially in a matchup like this.
Chris Olave, WR, Saints (at Panthers)- 9 Points
6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
Chris Olave was terrific in the opener, and he should continue to thrive this week.
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Seahawks (at Lions)- 9 Points
7 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
D.K. Metcalf should thrive with the Seahawks playing from behind.
Deebo Samuel, WR, 49ers (at Rams)- 8 Points
10 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Deebo Samuel is a great player, but he’s behind Brandon Aiyuk in the pecking order.
Gabriel Davis, WR, Bills (vs. Raiders)- 8 Points
5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Gabe Davis was hurt last year, so he could be better this season.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos (vs. Redskins)- 8 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Status unknown.
Chris Godwin, WR, Bucs (vs. Bears)- 8 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Chris Godwin should be able to take advantage of Chicago’s poor secondary.
Jaylen Waddle, WR, Dolphins (at Patriots)- 8 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Jaylen Waddle could go off if Bill Belichick sells out to stop Tyreek Hill.
Garrett Wilson, WR, Jets (at Cowboys)- 8 Points
5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Garrett Wilson figures to be a top receiver most weeks now that he has a real quarterback throwing to him.
George Pickens, WR, Steelers (vs. Browns)- 8 Points
5 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
Kenny Pickett loves throwing to George Pickens, who now has some experience.
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Titans (vs. Chargers)- 8 Points
6 Catches, 80 Receiving Yards.
DeAndre Hopkins will see a dip in production, but he’s still a good option against a Charger secondary that looked lost last week.
D.J. Moore, WR, Bears (at Buccaneers)- 7 Points
4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
D.J. Moore will see his production slip a bit because Justin Fields runs so much.
Tee Higgins, WR, Bengals (vs. Ravens)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Tee Higgins also needs Joe Burrow to be healthy.
Courtland Sutton, WR, Broncos (vs. Redskins)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Courtland Sutton has an easy matchup versus the Redskins.
Kadarius Toney, WR, Chiefs (at Jaguars)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Kadarius Toney just had the worst game of his life, so he could be motivated to bounce back.
Michael Pittman, WR, Colts (at Texans)- 7 Points
4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Michael Pittman Jr. is due for some regression after his fluky touchdown.
Drake London, WR, Falcons (vs. Packers)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
The Falcons will have to throw more this week, so Drake London will register a stat this week.
Zay Jones, WR, Jaguars (vs. Chiefs)- 7 Points
4 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Zay Jones appears to be ahead of Christian Kirk.
Kendrick Bourne, WR, Patriots (vs. Dolphins)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Kendrick Bourne is the stud we called him out to be on the fantasy sleepers page.
Puka Nacua, WR, Rams (vs. 49ers)- 7 Points
6 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Puka Nacua should continue to rack up the receptions in the Cooper Kupp role.
Zay Flowers, WR, Ravens (at Bengals)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
Zay Flowers had a great debut, so there should be more of this to come.
Jahan Dotson, WR, Redskins (at Broncos)- 7 Points
5 Catches, 70 Receiving Yards.
I continue to like Jahan Dotson as a sleeper this year.
Tyler Lockett, WR, Seahawks (at Lions)- 7 Points

Tyler Lockett suffered a concussion in Week 1.
Elijah Moore, WR, Browns (at Steelers)- 6 Points
10 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.

4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
Christian Kirk isn’t playing in two-receiver sets.
Terry McLaurin, WR, Redskins (at Broncos)- 6 Points
4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
Terry McLaurin figures to rebound, given that the Raider receivers thrived last week.
Michael Thomas, WR, Saints (at Panthers)- 6 Points
5 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
Michael Thomas isn’t what he used to be, but he looks to be a solid second receiver.
Nico Collins, WR, Texans (vs. Colts)- 6 Points
4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
Nico Collins does not have much upside.
Tank Dell, WR, Texans (vs. Colts)- 6 Points
4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
Tank Dell was extremely impressive in the preseason, but the coaching staff apparently forgot.
Jordan Addison, WR, Vikings (at Eagles)- 6 Points
4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
I’d say Jordan Addison has proven himself already. He could collect some garbage-time stats this week.

3 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards.
