Fantasy Football Week 2 Wide Receiver Preview: Waiver adds, starts, sits, stashes, and more

Week 1 was a rough one for our favorite breakout wide receiver candidates. Marvin Harrison Jr. caught just one pass for five yards in his debut, Drake London was barely better with two catches for 15 yards. Chris Olave's Saints are still scoring on the Panthers, but he played no part with just two catches for 11 yards. Even Garrett Wilson's six for 60 is disappointing in light of his ADP and the fact that teammate Allen Lazard scored 26.9 PPR Fantasy points. 

The first thing I want to say about these disappointments is possibly the most obvious: Do not panic. I'm not looking to sell low and I'm certainly not considering dropping any of these guys. Point two is more nuanced: You don't actually have to start all of them either. I'm sticking with Wilson and Olave, but Harrison and London are maybes in Week 2. They're both ranked between WR24 and WR30 in my initial Week 2 rankings, which is not a definite start or a sit. 

Harrison is a rookie who only saw four targets on Kyler Murray's 31 attempts in his debut. I still feel very confident that he's going to be a must-start wide receiver for much of this year but I wouldn't mind seeing him prove something before I start him again. London's now on Year 3 of being more hope than substance and the hope that Kirk Cousins is going to be a big upgrade at QB looked unfounded in Week 1. The Steelers are a great defense though, so I'm still hopeful Week 2 will bring London's breakout.

I'd just like to see it first.

Here is the rest of the Week 2 WR Preview:

Week 2 WR Preview

The following players are not being projected to play Week 2 at this time. Here's what it means:

• 42.1% -- Michael Pittman's 42.1% target share was second behind only Cooper Kupp. I would expect a bounce back.
• 69.9% -- Calvin Ridley posted a 69.9% air yards share in Week 1, second only to George Pickens. Ridley is the clear alpha there, let's just hope Will Levis can get him the ball.
• 110 -- Courtland Sutton's 110 unrealized air yards trailed only Ridley. The opportunity is there, the execution was not.
• 85% -- Jameson Williams played a career-high 85% of the Lions offensive snaps. He's a full-time football player and maybe a must-start wide receiver soon.
• 50% -- Half of Stefon Diggs' targets came inside the 10-yard line. That helps explain his aDOT and his TD rate
• 8 -- With Christian McCaffrey out, Deebo Samuel had eight rush attempts in Week 1.
• 3 -- Xavier Worthy finished as the WR11 on three touches. For now, he's a boom/bust WR3, not a must-start wide receiver.
