The kids are all right! After slow stats in Week 1, rookie receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers each had monster weeks in Week 2, producing over 30 fantasy points in the DraftKings scoring system. They were joined atop the WR Rankings by DK Metcalf and Nico Collins in that rarified air while Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Davante Adams fell just short of that plateau but produced over 25 fantasy points.
Jefferson and St. Brown are dealing with injuries headed into Week 3, though, and the Rams may be even more short-handed at the position depending on if Cooper Kupp is forced to join Puka Nacua on the sideline.
With injuries shaking up the WR Rankings for Week 3, here are my top 25 to start this week:
- CeeDee Lamb (vs. BAL)
- Ja’Marr Chase (vs. WAS)
- Justin Jefferson (vs. HOU) (assuming he’s healthy)
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (at ARI) (assuming he’s healthy)
- Marvin Harrison Jr. (vs. DET)
- Deebo Samuel Sr. (at LAR)
- Tyreek Hill (at SEA)
- Davante Adams (vs. CAR)
- Nico Collins (at MIN)
- DeVonta Smith (at NO) (depending on AJ Brown’s health)
- Rashee Rice (at ATL)
- Malik Nabers (at CLE)
- Mike Evans (vs. DEN)
- DJ Moore (at IND)
- Zay Flowers (at DAL)
- Garrett Wilson (vs. NE)
- Chris Godwin (vs. DEN)
- DK Metcalf (vs. MIA)
- Brandon Aiyuk (at LAR)
- Stefon Diggs (at MIN)
- Chris Olave (vs. PHI)
- Calvin Ridley (vs. GB)
- Amari Cooper (vs. NYG)
- Jameson Williams (at ARI)
- Terry McLaurin (at CIN)
