WR1: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions ($7,200)

There’s no other way to put it: Amon-Ra St. Brown has been elite through two games. His 33.8% target share is second in the NFL only to Cooper Kupp. So far, he’s the WR4 in PPR leagues. Those who drafted him in hopes of him repeating his scorching hot ending of last season have been rewarded big time.

St. Brown should be in for another big game this week as the Lions take on the Vikings, who found themselves on the wrong end of a Monday Night Football blowout in Week 2. They’ve allowed the fourth-most passing yards per game. St. Brown should have an elite week.

WR2: Drake London, Atlanta Falcons ($5,800)

Drake London, to a lot of peoples’ surprise, has been a steady fantasy option through two weeks. He’s caught 13-of-19 targets for 160 yards and a touchdown while seeing the fifth-highest target share in the league. All of this has led him to be the WR14 so far through two weeks.

London and the Falcons have a good matchup against a Seattle defense that has been the ninth-worst passing defense through two weeks. He’s a high-floor option who may find himself in a close game in Week 3, meaning more volume.

WR3: Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers ($5,700)

Diontae Johnson has remained a high-volume target even without Ben Roethlisberger, averaging 11 targets a game and pulling in the seventh-highest target share in the league. Regardless of matchup, Johnson is a high-volume option. However, this week’s matchup will give him a boost.

The Steelers play the Browns, who have been the 25th-ranked pass defense through two weeks, which is good news for Johnson in what should be a competitive game. To have three receivers with high volume and a good matchup is pretty solid for our lineup.
