2. Kadarius Toney, New York Giants

The Giants first-round rookie has finally arrived. Kadarius Toney broke out last week, catching 10-of-13 targets for 189 yards. He put his game-breaking speed and instincts on display, gashing Dallas’s defense and beating one of the best corners in the league in Trevon Diggs.

Toney showed the Giants why he deserves to be an every-week focal point of this offense, especially with Saquon Barkley’s new ankle injury. Toney has nowhere to go but up and he’s worthy of a flex start this week with the potential for more.

1. Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts

Pretty soon, Michael Pittman Jr. will no longer be a sleeper. He’s caught 29 balls on 43 targets for 368 yards and a touchdown so far on the year. He’s the main man in this offense, even with T.Y. Hilton returning from I.R. soon.

Pittman Jr. will be a WR2 this week against a middling Houston secondary, as he’s solidified his floor with an average of 8.6 targets a game. That volume is tough to find in a wide receiver sleeper. Start Pittman Jr. with confidence this week.
