Looking for Week 2 WR start/sit picks? Here are the wide receivers to start and sit in your fantasy football lineups. Wide Receiver is the position with the widest range of potential outcomes in fantasy. Elite WR1s can fail to score more than a few points and relative unknowns can put up 20. There are a ton of variables that factor into a receiver’s weekly production. Let’s break down my Week 2 fantasy WR start/sit picks.
Fantasy Football Week 2 WR Start/Sit: Wide Receiver Picks
Wide receivers to start: Jalen Coker, Stefon Diggs
Wide receivers to sit: Jaylen Waddle, Rome Odunze
Week 2 WR Start: Jalen Coker at Falcons
It’s easy enough to say “start the current fantasy WR1” after a breakout performance, but one week doesn’t tell the full story. That said, in Jalen Coker’s case, the young wideout has been building up to this moment. Obviously, Coker isn’t a legit WR1. He’s not even the top receiver on his team, but the third-year wideout is the perfect compliment to Tet McMillan in what appears to be a fantasy-friendly situation.
A lot of that can be attributed to Bryce Young figuring it out. The former No. 1 overall pick played like it in Week 1, completing 23 of his 37 passes for 361 yards and three touchdowns. Eight of those balls went to Coker, who amassed 138 yards and a pair of scores. Coker did suffer a minor injury during the game but is expected to be good to go this weekend in Atlanta. The Falcons are setting up to be a bit of a disaster this season unless they turn it around quickly, creating a strong opportunity for Coker to put up great numbers again. Start him as a WR3/FLEX.
Week 2 WR Sit: Jaylen Waddle vs. Jaguars
Yikes. There’s not much else to say about the Broncos as a whole following their resounding MNF defeat to the Chiefs. Nothing was working for Bo Nix and company, which obviously extends to Waddle. Denver’s marquee offseason acquisition was only targeted three times, catching one ball for two yards. That’s almost more demoralizing than putting up an actual goose egg.
It won’t get much easier for Waddle and the Broncos this week as they host the Jaguars. Jacksonville’s scorching-hot offense has carried over from last year, and Trevor Lawrence’s squad appears to be building a case as a legitimate contender. Defensively, they’re tough as well, bolstered by an elite run-stopping group. It projects to be another long day at the office for Waddle. Keep him on your bench until a more favorable matchup emerges.

Week 2 WR Start: Stefon Diggs at Cowboys
Stefon Diggs, Commanders WR1? It’s obviously too early to make that type of declaration, but the veteran certainly looked the part in Week 1. Diggs was Jayden Daniels’ clear top target, catching four balls for 55 yards and a touchdown. What really stood out was the target share across Washington’s receiving corps. Diggs saw more than double the targets that Terry McLaurin and rookie Antonio Williams (four each) earned.
Diggs will look to carry this positive momentum into a favorable Week 2 matchup in Dallas. The Cowboys were porous defensively all throughout 2025 and didn’t do much to dissuade those concerns Sunday night against the Giants. Jaxson Dart carved the Cowboys’ secondary up, completing 23 of 29 attempts for 230 yards and three touchdowns. Jayden Daniels should have little trouble doing the same, putting Diggs firmly in WR2 territory for this contest.
Week 2 WR Sit: Rome Odunze vs. Vikings
The Bears scored 59 points against Carolina in Week 1. Fifty. Nine. Points. Do you know how much Rome Odunze contributed to those efforts? Two catches for 52 yards on three total targets.
Now, one of those receptions was an unreal deep ball moss just short of the end zone. Odunze clearly has elite talent, for some reason he and Caleb Williams just can’t fully put it together. The Bears are going to rack up the points this season, so the young receiver will have plenty of opportunities to fix that, but I don’t love his chances of doing so against the Vikings. Brian Flores’ defense once again wreaked havoc against the Packers last week, and they will certainly do the same in Chicago this time around. Keep Odunze on your bench for another week and revisit his prospects against an easier matchup.
Those are my Week 2 WR start/sit fantasy picks. Stay tuned for more start ’em, sit ’em content over the rest of the week!
