Week 2 Fantasy Football Projections: Projecting the Top 4 Receivers to Dominate

There is nothing better than watching your top receiver rip off a 50-yard TD catch. It justifies the high pick it took to select him and gives you a huge amount of points in the process.

When evaluating the matchups of Week 2, here are the five receivers that stick out as the best options to get you massive points.

Andre Johnson at Miami Dolphins

No-brainer.

The Dolphins just gave up over 500 yards through the air to the Patriots. They had to cut a player because of the embarrassment.  The Texans have just as prolific an offense and will be throwing deep to Johnson early and often.

A 200-yard game is not out of the question.

Calvin Johnson vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs received horrible news when they found out that top safety Eric Berry is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Johnson was Mathew Stafford’s main target in Week 1 and will be getting plenty of looks once again this week. He was targeted 10 times, twice as much as any other receiver on the team.

It’s clear who the workhorse is in Detroit, and expect him to be fed in Week 2

Mike Wallace vs. Seattle Seahawks

This speedster was able to catch seven passes for 107 yards despite his team’s horrible performance. He was targeted 11 times by Ben Roethlisberger, and expect that to be the case all season long.

Call this a hunch, but I expect Wallace to rip off a TD catch of at least 50 yards against an average Seattle secondary.

Greg Jennings at Carolina Panthers

The Panthers defense was pretty awful against the Cardinals and are going to give up even more fantasy points now that linebacker Jon Beason is out for the year.

Jennings is the No. 1 target on the best offense in the NFL. Despite a Packers receiving corps that features five legitimate options, it’s Jennings that still gets the most targets and the most production.
