Fantasy Football: 10 wide receiver sleepers to start in Week 2
2. Brandin Cooks, Houston Texans
If you wrote Brandin Cooks off in fantasy drafts, you weren’t alone. Fantasy managers were scared to even touch anyone on this Houston offense without Deshaun Watson. However, they played pretty solid, albeit against the league-worst Jacksonville defense.
Cooks caught five-of-seven targets from 132 yards in his season debut. He looks to be far and away Tyrod Taylor’s favorite target.
They have a tougher test this week against the Cleveland Browns, but you should be all-in on the Texans’ No. 1 wideout.
1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
Ja’Marr Chase’s complete takeover of the wide receiver room in Cincy is inevitable. His regular season debut was an impressive five catch-101 yard-one touchdown game against the Minnesota Vikings, and things are only getting better from here.
Chase and the Bengals play the Chicago Bears, which should be another competitive game. It’s especially encouraging for Chase owners after the Bears got carved up by the Los Angeles Rams’ receiving corps.
Chase is a must-start in every format, and a wise DFS play for this week and hopefully every week moving forward.
