Fantasy Football Week 2 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: 3 Sleeper WRs Who Should Start

The fuzzy picture that is NFL fantasy football world is slowly starting to become clear now that we have a week of action in the books. While it's never completely predictable how things will turn out, there always are a few keys to pay attention to to get an edge.

One of the best ways to get a step up on the competition is to keep an eye out for sleepers who may have big weeks. Here are three sleepers at the wide receiver position who may step up to have huge performances in Week 2.

Devery Henderson (New Orleans Saints)

Marques Colston's injury may have upset New Orleans fans, but it opened the door for opportunity around the fantasy football world.

Typically, injuries are the primary reasons that sleepers are able to step up and succeed. Devery Henderson will take over as Drew Brees' primary target at least for a few weeks.

In Week 1, Henderson finished the game against the Packers with 100 receiving yards and a touchdown.

The Saints play another difficult opponent this weekend. The Chicago Bears will put up a challenge, but Henderson is a player that you may want to start over the span of the next few weeks.

Brandon LaFell (Carolina Panthers)

Let me start off by saying, I don't expect Cam Newton to have a repeat performance from Week 1.

That said, I do think that Cam Newton has the talent to have success at the quarterback position. With everyone focused on Steve Smith's 178 receiving yards, it's easy to push the No. 2 receiver to the side.

That guy is Brandon LaFell. LaFell had a good game as well, catching four passes for 70 yards.

Steve Smith will likely see double coverages after a big Week 1 showing, opening up some opportunities for LaFell.

Jabar Gaffney (Washington Redskins)

The Washington Redskins and Rex Grossman had a fantastic showing in their season opener against the New York Giants.

Like LaFell, Gaffney should receive plenty of opportunities as the No. 2 receiver in Washington.

He finished Week 1 with three receptions for 54 yards. He also dropped about three more passes that would have resulted in about 50 more yards.

If Gaffney gets his head in the game and focuses he could have a huge game in Week 2. The Redskins face the Arizona Cardinals, who allowed Cam Newton to break rookie passing records in his debut.
