6. Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders

Hunter Renfrow has always been a go-to target for Derek Carr since entering the league, and it appears that this season is no different. Renfrow started his season catching six-of-nine catches for 70 yards against a stingy Ravens defense.

Renfrow and the Raiders face another solid defense this week in the Pittsburgh Steelers, but we’ve seen in past games that Renfrow seems to always get open for Carr.

In what should be a competitive game, I like Renfrow as a high-volume play in any format.

5. Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears

Darnell Mooney was a popular sleeper pick among fantasy drafters this season, and for good reason. Mooney owners are patiently awaiting the day when the Bears finally hand the reins over to Justin Fields.

Last week though, Mooney looked impressive. Even with Andy Dalton throwing him the ball and playing against a notoriously good Rams’ defense, Mooney caught five-of-seven targets for just 26 yards.

Mooney has a much smoother matchup this week against the Bengals. The seven targets are promising and I can’t imagine he regresses rather than builds off his Week 1.
