Fantasy Football Rankings Week 2: 3 Receivers You Don't Want to Face

There may not be a single more important fantasy position than receiver. Yes, quarterbacks get a lot of points and elite running backs are valuable, but no position has the depth that WR has to offer.

Despite this depth, there are plenty of elite receivers, but not all of them are bankable to have big weeks every week.

However, if you're going against these guys in Week 2, you may be in for a rough week.

On the other hand, if you have any of these guys, puff your chest out a little bit and don't be afraid to talk some trash. 

Greg Jennings

Jennings and Aaron Rodgers are rapidly turning into the best quarterback and wide receiver duo in the league. Rodgers knows to look for Jennings and is not afraid to check a signal off to go to him.

Against a Carolina secondary that allowed three receivers to catch for 60 or more yards in Week 1, Jennings and Rodgers will connect again.

That being said, Larry Fitzgerald had only 62 yards receiving. That's not a bad total, but it's certainly not what you would expect from him.

Still, he averaged more than 20 yards per reception.

Green Bay's group of receivers is too good to just key on Jennings. Rodgers will find the mismatches and take advantage of them.

If you're going against Jennings, I hope you have guys that can score plenty on their own. 

Andre Johnson

Can we really see what the Patriots did against Miami and use it to form an opinion on what the Texans will do?

Yes and no.

On the one hand, Matt Schaub is a good quarterback, but he's not at Tom Brady's level. Also, Houston doesn't have the multitude of weapons that New England has.

However, New England doesn't have Andre Johnson.

Johnson is the best receiver in the game right now and can create matchup issues for any defense.

Houston doesn't have Miami's depth, but their offense is good enough that Johnson can't be the only target. 

Mike Wallace

You can shake it any way you want, but Pittsburgh's opener against Baltimore was ugly.

There is good news, though. The Steelers aren't playing Baltimore in Week 2.

However, let's take a step back and look at Week 1. Wallace still had a respectable eight-catch, 107-yard day. That's a strong showing in any league, but huge in a PPR league.

Frankly, I am not sure that we can expect much worse against Seattle. He may not catch as many passes, but a touchdown reception will go a long way in making up for that.
