WR Studs

Vincent Jackson-Tampa Bay Buccaneers: In a losing effort, V-Jax had ten catches for 147 yards and a touchdown. He definitely has a strong rapport with rookie Jameis Winston who will be given the freedom to continue to learn on the job meaning plenty of passes for Jackson going forward.

DeAndre Hopkins-Houston Texans: Hopkins had seven more targets than any other WR this week with 22 passes coming his way as the Texans desperately tried to come back from their early deficit to Atlanta. Hopkins caught nine passes for a league-high 157 yards. He failed to get into the end zone this week but remains a top-shelf WR1 especially given the volume of passes that come his way.

Jeremy Maclin-Kansas City Chiefs: Maclin had 11 catches for 148 yards for Kansas City as the Chiefs moved the ball well against the Bengals even though the team didn’t get into the end zone one time. The last game-and-a-half have definitely been encouraging for Maclin owners, though, as he grown into an increasingly productive role with Kansas City.

Brandon Marshall-New York Jets: Marshall didn’t get into the end zone either, but he still had a huge game finishing with seven catches for 128 yards in the Jets win in London. Marshall has had an outstanding start to the season with his new team
