4. Jarvis Landry, Cleveland Browns

Whether it’s Baker Mayfield or Case Keenum under center this week, Jarvis Landry is going to see heavy volume in a banged-up Cleveland receiving corps. In his first game back from I.R., he caught 5-of-8 targets for 37 yards. The lower volume was due to Cleveland pounding the Broncos on the ground, but that shouldn’t be the case this week against Pittsburgh.

Landry has been one of fantasy’s most reliable receivers in years past, and he’s looking to return to that stability as a low-end WR2 in your lineups this week.

3. Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins

Hardly a sleeper anymore, Jaylen Waddle has a firm grasp on Miami’s No. 1 wideout spot. He’s gone 10-70 and 7-83 in back-to-back games, and there’s no reason for him to see a decrease in volume in a tough matchup against Buffalo.

Start Waddle as a confident WR2 this week, as he’s averaging just over eight targets a game this season, which is bankable volume.
