8. Michael Gallup, Dallas Cowboys

Michael Gallup has had at least seven targets in five out of the seven games he’s played this season, meaning he’s solidified himself as a sturdy-floored option in the Cowboys’ passing attack that is one of the most lethal in the league.

Gallup and the Cowboys take on the Washington Football Team, who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. If the game flows in Gallup’s favor, he could post WR2 numbers this week. If you need a flex play, you can do much worse than Gallup.

7. Kenny Golladay, New York Giants

The Giants have infamously had a revolving door at wide receiver this season, with one receiver getting injured after the other. Sterling Shepard was the latest Giant to catch the injury bug, leaving Kenny Golladay as the unquestioned WR1 in New York.

Even though the Giants are reportedly starting Jake Fromm, anything is better than Mike Glennon for fantasy purposes. Golladay should see steady volume simply out of necessity this week.
