Fantasy Football Week 5: Julio Jones, Jeremy Maclin and Top 3 WR2s

Chris TrapassoOct 7, 2011

We know who the top fantasy wide receivers are, but who are the ever-important No. 2 receivers today?

It changes weekly and is a critical position on every fantasy roster. 

Let's look at the top No. 2 WRs in the NFL's fifth week.

Julio Jones

Unsurprisingly, Jones has been targeted 38 times through four games this season—we knew Atlanta would look to incorporate him in the offense right away. 

Jones is up against a rather susceptible Green Bay Packers secondary and he most likely won't draw Charles Woodson in coverage. 

This game could turn into a shootout and Jones could be in for a big game on Sunday night.

Jeremy Maclin

The Bills secondary is currently ranked 27th in the league. Last week, they were shredded in the second half by Andy Dalton after he was very uncomfortable in the first two quarters.

Both DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin are primed for big afternoons. Furthermore, Maclin has shown glimpses of being a No. 1 wideout in a few contests this year. 

With Buffalo likely looking to shut Jackson down on the field, Maclin could see a good amount of targets and gain some serious yardage. 

A.J. Green

Green was outstanding against the Bills in Week 4, as his amazing ball skills were on full display. 

Although the Jaguars will shade safeties over the top to limit Green's downfield abilities, he is slowly becoming a more all-around receiver. 

He's a matchup nightmare for any cornerback and Andy Dalton will look for the rookie wideout frequently. 

Without a great pass rush, Dalton should have time to throw and Green could have another monster game.
