10 WR sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 2
By Jakob Ashlin
Fantasy football receiver sleepers for Week 2: Zay Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars
Rostered: 7.5%
Zay Jones has flown under the radar. Last week, he had six receptions for 65 yards on nine targets.
On the surface, I have little confidence in the Jaguars’ passing attack, however, they should have plenty of opportunities to throw the football playing from behind.
Last season, the Jaguars were tied for the 11th-most passing attempts in the league. They did not deviate from that trend in Week 1. They threw the football 42 times, and they are currently tied for the sixth-most passing attempts in the NFL this season.
Due to his potential workload, Jones is a fantasy sleeper to keep an eye on.
Fantasy football receiver sleepers for Week 2: Greg Dortch, Arizona Cardinals
Rostered: 1.0%
Surprisingly, Greg Dortch led the Cardinals in targets (9), receptions (7), and receiving yards (63) in Week 1. It was odd, considering that the Cardinals had Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, and Zach Ertz on the field.
DeAndre Hopkins is currently serving his six-game suspension, while Rondale Moore is dealing with a hamstring injury. Moore did not participate in practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
Dortch carries some risk, but he has short-term upside as the potential go-to receiver in Arizona’s offense. Rostered in only one percent of ESPN leagues, he is an excellent pickup in deeper leagues.
