WR Sleepers

Michael Crabtree-Oakland Raiders: Crabtree showed a very good connection with Oakland QB Derek Carr.  Carr targeted Crabtree 16 times and Crabtree finished with nine catches for 111 yards and a touchdown.

Travis Benjamin-Cleveland Browns: One of the hottest names on the fantasy football waiver wire this week is sure to be Browns playmaker Travis Benjamin.  Benjamin scored three touchdowns total on Sunday–two on long passes from Johnny Manziel and one on a punt return. He finished with 115 yards on his three catches, so he isn’t a volume producer, but he can definitely make plays and Johnny Manziel has a clear connection with him.

Leonard Hankerson-Atlanta Falcons: Like Julio Jones, Hankerson had a touchdown overturned on review, but he did get in the end zone later in the game. HankTime was targeted 11 times by Matt Ryan and finished with six catches for 77 yards and a touchdown.

Stevie Johnson-San Diego Chargers: Johnson caught five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown finding the end zone for the second straight week to start the season with his new team.

Rishard Matthews-Miami Dolphins: Matthews has put together a couple of good games to start the season in a crowded WR corps in Miami. He hauled in six catches in week two for 115 yards agains the Jags after catching a touchdown in week 1.
