WR:
Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers
He’s back on the list this week, and hopefully, if you didn’t listen and grab him last week, you can still do it this week. He caught 2 TD passes and looks to be the number one target for Justin Herbert right now, not Ladd McConkey.
Jalen Nailor, Minnesota Vikings
He had a solid game in week two as the Vikings pulled off the upset over the 49ers. Jefferson is banged up, and Addison is, too. Darnold looks good in leading this offense.
Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers
Deebo is injured, Aiyuk is still shaking off rust, and CMC will be out for many weeks. That is a lot of targets that have to go somewhere in the 49ers passing game, and Jennings is the guy who is going to get a chunk of them.
Jalen Tolbert, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys looked terrible in week 2, but Tolbert did make some plays and is going to have some big games this year because Lamb can’t get every target, and the Cowboys running game is terrible.
Tutu Atwell, Los Angeles Rams
Puka is on IR, and now Kupp could be headed there, too. Even if he doesn’t go on IR, Kupp will miss at least a couple of weeks, and Atwell becomes relevant because of it. He had a solid game with Stafford in week 2, and he’s familiar with the Rams offense.
Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts
He is the only Colts WR who seems to be doing anything so far this season. He is hard to trust because Anthony Richardson hasn’t looked good throwing the football, but based on Pierce’s first 2 weeks, I wouldn’t let him sit on the wire or let one of my opponents pick him up.
TE:
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots
He had a big game in week two and although Jacoby Brissett isn’t going to wow anyone, he has been around long enough that he can run an offense. He gets the call into the hands of his play makers and Henry is one of the key weapons he has. That makes Henry valuable.
Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals
He had a big game in week two. Higgins is still out, Chase hasn’t had a big week yet, and the Bengals running game has been non-existent. So why not take a chance on Gesicki? He is a very athletic player at the TE position and has a great QB in Joe Burrow getting him the ball.
Zach Ertz, Washington Commanders
Rookie QB Jayden Daniels hasn’t looked good throwing the football. When he has thrown it though, Ertz looks to be the guy he trusts most. If you haven’t been getting good TE production, Ertz should be able to provide you with a nice floor every week.
