2025 Fantasy Football WR/CB Matchup Report For Week 3


Left WR vs Right CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Marvin Harrison	ARI	11.4 / 9.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Renardo Green	SF	Safe
It looks like not much has changed from last year through the first two weeks of the season. Marvin Harrison is still the clear second option in this passing offense behind Trey McBride, with an 18.5% target share compared to McBride’s 27.8%. MHJ does lead the team with two end zone targets, which could raise his weekly ceiling if he and Kyler can start connecting on those throws. He should have a plus matchup on the snaps that he lines up across from Renardo Green.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Darnell Mooney	ATL	4 / 3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Mike Jackson	CAR	Moderate
Darnell Mooney was immediately a full-time player in his first game of the season, logging 86% of the snaps in Week 2. Mooney caught 2 of 4 targets for 20 yards. Now that he’s healthy, Mooney should compete with TE Kyle Pitts to be the Falcons 2nd option in the passing offense on a weekly basis. Better days are ahead for Mooney, but both outside CBs for Carolina present a challenging matchup this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rashod Bateman	BAL	3.3 / 2.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Terrion Arnold	DET	Moderate
While Rashod Bateman might be 2nd among Ravens pass catchers with 41 routes run through two weeks, he doesn’t have much to show for it. Bateman has only been able to generate a 14.6% target share and has 4 receptions and 25 receiving yards so far this season. Until the production improves, you can avoid Bateman in all formats regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Keon Coleman	BUF	16.9 / 14.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Rasul Douglas	MIA	Moderate
It was a quiet day for the Bills passing offense, with Josh Allen only completing 14 passes, half of which went to the tight end room. Keon Coleman was still tied for 2nd most receptions among Bills WRs in Week 2, but that only led to 3 targets, 3 receptions, and 26 receiving yards. Coleman still leads all Bills pass catchers in route percentage, target share, and first read percentage, and should be in for a bounce back performance against a poor Dolphins secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillan	CAR	15.4 / 12.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Mike Hughes	ATL	Moderate
Despite being only two games into his rookie season, it’s already very clear that Tetairoa McMillan is the go-to WR in the Panthers offense. McMillan leads all Panthers pass catchers in target share, air yard share, targets per route run, and yards per route run. McMillan and Bryce Young are still trying to get on the same page, but the target volume alone is enough to feel confident in McMillan as a top 20 WR for Week 3
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DJ Moore	CHI	9.6 / 7.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trevon Diggs	DAL	Safe
Drafted as the Bears WR1 in fantasy drafts, DJ Moore has taken a back seat to Rome Odunze through two weeks this season. Instead of WR1, Moore has been competing with slot WR Olamide Zaccheaus to be Chicago’s WR2. He’s still a big play threat for the Bears, leading all WRs in yards per reception. This is a good spot for Moore against the Cowboys.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tee Higgins	CIN	10.5 / 8.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Byron Murphy	MIN	Moderate
Tee Higgins might be one of the biggest disappointments through two weeks of the 2025 season, coming in at WR39 despite being drafted at the 2-3 turn in most drafts. Unfortunately, things aren’t likely to get much better with Joe Burrow expected to miss the next several months with an injury. Higgins is still the clear #2 option in this offense, but that’s a less reliable role without Burrow at QB. Higgins should be viewed as more of backend WR2 for the time being.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Cedric Tillman	CLE	13.2 / 11.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nate Hobbs	GB	Moderate
Joe Flacco has been spreading the targets around to start the year, with 4 pass catchers with a target share over 10%, but nobody with a target share over 20%. While the touchdown pass that went right through the defenders hands was a lucky break for Tillman fantasy managers, the 7 targets was an encouraging sign. Tillman should be considered a solid flex option, and I would prefer him over Jeudy this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
George Pickens	DAL	11.9 / 9.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nahshon Wright	CHI	Safe
George Pickens saw his targets jump from 4 in Week 1 to 9 in Week 2, which he turned into 5 receptions, 68 yards, and a receiving touchdown. We called the Pickens bounce back in this article last week, and I’m expecting more of the same this week. There should continue to be plenty of targets to go around, and Pickens has a plus matchup against a Chicago secondary without Jaylon Johnson.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Courtland Sutton	DEN	9.9 / 8.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cam Hart	LAC	Moderate
The Troy Franklin Week 2 breakout affected Courtland Sutton as much as anyone, who went from 9 targets in Week 1 to 4 targets in Week 2. I still expect Sutton to be the Broncos WR1, and even with the down week he still leads all Denver pass catchers with a 29% first read percentage.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jameson Williams	DET	14.2 / 12.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Chidobe Awuzie	BAL	Moderate
The beautiful thing with Jameson Williams is that it only takes one play for him to pay off, as he showed in Week 2 where he had only had 4 targets but managed to turn that into 2 receptions, 108 receiving yards and a touchdown. The 44 yard touchdown reception flashed his big play potential, but the 13% target share does not indicate a changing of the guard among Lions pass catchers like some thought this offseason.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Romeo Doubs	GB	10.3 / 9.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Greg Newsome	CLE	Moderate
While the true #1 option in this passing offense might be TE Tucker Kraft, it appears that Romeo Doubs is the WR that Jordan Love trusts right now. Through two weeks Doubs leads Packers WRs in target share, and trails only Tucker Kraft in the majority of receiving categories. Doubs also leads the team with a 20.6% target share and remains a solid WR4 or flex option for your fantasy lineup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Nico Collins	HOU	9.9 / 8.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tyson Campbell	JAC	Moderate
Nico Collins has been a disappointment through two weeks to start the season, despite the fact that he has a team high 27.5% target share, 31.3% first read share, and 3 end zone targets. Given the usage, Collins should be one of the better buy low options in fantasy football. With Jacksonville’s secondary being average at best, Nico could be a bounce back candidate in Week 3.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Alec Pierce	IND	7.7 / 6.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
L'Jarius Sneed	TEN	Safe
Due to his big play ability as displayed by his team high average depth of target, yards per target, and yards per reception, Alec Pierce is always a fine dart throw for your DFS lineups whenever he has a plus matchup like he does this week. However, I’d stay away from depending on Pierce in your season long leagues due to him being the 4th option in this passing offense at best behind TE Tyler Warren, Michael Pittman, and Josh Downs.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Brian Thomas	JAC	9 / 7.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Derek Stingley	HOU	Risky
Brian Thomas looks like one of the better buy low options in fantasy football right now. The connection with BTJ and Lawrence hasn’t been there to start the year, with a team low 61% catchable target percentage, but the passes are still going his way. BTJ still leads all pass catchers in target share and first read share, so as long as the volume continues to be there, there will be better days ahead. However, this week presents a difficult challenge with a possible shadow situation against Texans CB Derek Stingley.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tyquan Thornton	KC	10 / 9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Paulson Adebo	NYG	Moderate
Tyquan Thornton was tied for 2nd among Chiefs pass catchers with 5 targets but only ended up with 2 receptions. Thankfully, one of those two receptions went for a 49-yard touchdown which saved his fantasy day. That’s the reality you’ll be living in if you choose to start Thornton, needing him to hit on a couple of big plays to be able to deliver for fantasy managers. He’s a guy I’d rather take shots on in DFS than start in my season long leagues.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Dont'e Thornton	LV	4.8 / 4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Marshon Lattimore	WAS	Moderate
Dont’e Thornton Jr. has seen 4 targets in back-to-back weeks but only has 3 receptions on the season. He has the ability to break off a big play but considering he’s the 4th option in the passing offense at best; I’ll continue to stay away in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Quentin Johnston	LAC	20.4 / 18.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Pat Surtain	DEN	Risky
Quentin Johnston has now put together back-to-back games with 7+ targets and 70+ receiving yards to begin the season. He’s also found the end zone in each game as well. The Chargers passing offense is divided up pretty evenly between QJ, Keenan Allen, and Ladd McConkey, so as long as Johnston continues to make the most out of his opportunities, he should be a solid fantasy option. However, this week brings a difficult challenge with potential shadow coverage from Broncos CB Pat Surtain.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Davante Adams	LAR	17.4 / 14.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Quinyon Mitchell	PHI	Moderate
The Rams passing offense continues to run through two players: Puka Nacua and Davante Adams. This week, it was Adams’ turn, who led the passing attack with 13 targets, 6 receptions, 106 yards, and 1 TD. Adams and Puka are tied with a team high 32.3% target share, and Adams is slightly behind Puka with a 32.7% first read percentage. With Adams’ talent and the volume he’s seeing in the Rams offense, he should be a must start regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaylen Waddle	MIA	12.4 / 10.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Christian Benford	BUF	Moderate
Jaylen Waddle had a solid bounce back game in Week 2, with 5 receptions and 68 yards on 6 targets. Waddle also found the end zone, but now he’s questionable to miss this weeks game due to his shoulder injury that he will test pre-game prior to the Dolphins and Bills kicking off on Thursday Night Football. If it’s reported that Waddle will be active, I’ll have him as a solid WR3 or flex option for this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Justin Jefferson	MIN	13 / 11.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cam Taylor-Britt	CIN	Moderate
There’s not much to say about Justin Jefferson. He has a 31.7% target share, which is more than double the next highest Vikings pass catcher. He’s one of the most talented WRs in the NFL and should be started regardless of who is playing QB or what the matchup is.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Kayshon Boutte	NE	14 / 12.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Joey Porter	PIT	Moderate
After seeing 8 targets in Week 1, Kayshon Boutte was only targeted once in Week 2, but thankfully it ended up being a 16 yard receiving TD which helped him not completely kill the fantasy managers that chose to start him coming off his big week. Target shares have been pretty evenly distributed between Boutte, Stefon Diggs, and TE Hunter Henry so Boutte looks like he might be more of a boom-or-bust flex option instead of a dependable WR2.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Brandin Cooks	NO	5.1 / 3.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Josh Jobe	SEA	Risky
Brandin Cooks only has 6 targets so far through two weeks, with 5 receptions for 52 yards. As the 5th option in the Saints passing offense, Cooks should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Darius Slayton	NYG	4.1 / 3.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trent McDuffie	KC	Moderate
Darius Slayton has been the 4th option for the Giants passing offense so far through two weeks with only 3 targets despite running the most routes on the team. Slayton should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Garrett Wilson	NYJ	15.8 / 13
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jamel Dean	TB	Risky
Garrett Wilson was once again the Jets target leader in Week 2; however, the results weren’t quite as good as last week with only 4 receptions for 50 yards. Starting QB Justin Fields left the game early with a concussion and will miss the Jets Week 3 game in Tampa Bay as well. Although the downgrade at QB is unfortunate, Wilson demands a high enough target share that he should still be considered a WR2. You just need to temper expectations in leagues where you might have been counting on Wilson as your WR1. His upside is likely to be limited this week with a backup QB and tough matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
A.J. Brown	PHI	4.8 / 3.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Emmanuel Forbes	LAR	Moderate
I’ve already said this a few different times this article, but I think A.J. Brown is another solid buy-low opportunity if the Brown fantasy manager in your league is panicked by his slow start. After only getting one target, which didn’t come until the end of the game in Week 1, Brown bounced back with a team-high 8 targets, but he only ended up with 5 receptions for 27 yards. Despite the slow start, Brown remains a must start regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Roman Wilson	PIT	0.9 / 1.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Alex Austin	NE	Moderate
Roman Wilson might technically be the Steelers WR3, but that’s only led to two targets so far this season. Once you factor in the RB and TE rooms, Wilson might be the 5th or 6th option in this pass attack at best. Wilson should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Kendrick Bourne	SF	6.2 / 4.7
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Will Johnson	ARI	Moderate
Kendrick Bourne should continue to operate as the 49ers WR3 until Brandon Aiyuk is healthy, but with only a 7.7% target share through two weeks he can be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-Njigba	SEA	22.4 / 17.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Isaac Yiadom	NO	Moderate
Jaxon Smith-Njigba once again led all Seahawks pass catchers with 10 targets in Week 2, that led to 8 receptions and 103 receiving yards. JSN now has an absurd 41% target share and 51% first read percentage on the season. JSN should be a borderline top 5 WR on a weekly basis moving forward if this volume continues.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Mike Evans	TB	10.4 / 7.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Sauce Gardner	NYJ	Risky
Mike Evans had the tough task of dealing with Texans CB Derek Stingley the majority of their Week 2 matchup, but still managed 5 receptions and 56 receiving yards on 11 targets. Unfortunately for Evans, he has another tough matchup against Sauce Gardner this week. Evans still has a team high 27% target share, and could be an interesting buy low candidate if he struggles in this tough matchup once again this week. I’d temper expectations for Evans against the Jets, but better days are ahead with how involved he is in the offense.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Elic Ayomanor	TEN	9.5 / 7.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Xavien Howard	IND	Moderate
If you grabbed Elic Ayomanor off the wavier wire following Week 1, you were rewarded in Week 2 with 4 receptions, 56 yards, and a TD on a really impressive play where Cam Ward threw the ball across his body to the other side of the field and found Ayomanor in the end zone. Coming into the year, I thought Calvin Ridley would be the clear WR1 for this team, but Ayomanor has only seen 1 less target through two games and they have identical first read percentages as well. The Titans offense as whole hasn’t looked great, but Ayomanor is definitely someone that has worked his way into flex consideration.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Terry McLaurin	WAS	7.3 / 5.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kyu Kelly	LV	Moderate
After holding in this offseason, Terry McLaurin only played 79% of the snaps in Week 1, but saw that increase to 91% in Week 2. McLaurin’s targets also increased from 4 in Week 1 to 9 last week, but he ended the game with only 48 receiving yards and 5 receptions. As McLaurin continues to work back up to game speed after not participating in offseason activities, there should be better days ahead. However, this week could be tricky if Jayden Daniels misses with his knee injury, which is something to monitor heading into the weekend.


Right WR vs Left CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Michael Wilson	ARI	4.8 / 4.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Deommodore Lenoir	SF	Moderate
Michael Wilson’s fantasy day was saved by his 11-yard touchdown catch, which was his only reception in the game. After back-to-back weeks with only one reception, you can continue to avoid Wilson and his 11% target share regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Drake London	ATL	10.2 / 6.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jaycee Horn	CAR	Risky
Drake London might be one of the better buy low options in fantasy football right now. The production hasn’t been what we had hoped for, but he’s just as involved in the passing offense as we expected. Through two weeks London leads all Falcons pass catchers with a 30% target share and 39% first read share. While the offense can be run heavy at times, London is too involved to start panicking already. However, Jaycee Horn will present a difficult matchup when the two are lined up across from each other this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Zay Flowers	BAL	23 / 19.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
D.J Reed	DET	Moderate
After back-to-back impressive weeks, the Zay Flowers year 3 breakout looks very real. Flowers once again led all Ravens pass catchers in targets, yards, and receptions, with 11 targets, 7 receptions, and 75 receiving yards. That brings target share just under 40% on the season, with a 44% first read target percentage to go along with it. Unless these numbers decline considerably, Flowers is now in the must start category, regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Joshua Palmer	BUF	8.9 / 7.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jack Jones	MIA	Safe
Like Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer also felt the pain of the low passing volume game for the Bills in Week 2. Palmer still has the ability to have a big game with low volume thanks to his team high 13.0 average depth of target and 15.43 yards per reception, but it’s tough to expect much whenever he only sees 3 targets like he did last week. Palmer has the potential to bounce back in Week 3 with a positive matchup against the Dolphins secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Legette	CAR	2.4 / 1.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
A.J Terrell	ATL	Moderate
Xavier Legette just continues to run wind sprints as the Panthers other primary outside WR. Despite being 3rd in routes run among Panthers pass catchers, Legette only has a 13% target share and 8 receiving yards. You can continue to avoid Legette in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rome Odunze	CHI	25.3 / 22
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kaiir Elam	DAL	Safe
Rome Odunze is coming off a huge Week 2, finishing the week with 11 targets, 7 receptions, 128 yards, and two receiving touchdowns. He now leads all Bears pass catchers in target share, yards per route run, and targets per route run and appears to be Caleb Williams #1 option with a 33% first read percentage. Odunze could be in for another big week against a beatable Cowboys secondary.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr Chase	CIN	22.1 / 18
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Isaiah Rodgers	MIN	Moderate
There’s no doubt that the Joe Burrow injury is unfortunate, but Ja'Marr Chase didn’t miss a beat after Burrows injury. Chase still finished Week 2 with 16 targets, 14 receptions, 165 yards, and 1 TD. Despite the Burrow injury, Chase remains a must start. If there’s any opportunity to buy low from a panicked manager, you should take advantage of it.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jerry Jeudy	CLE	10.4 / 8.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Keisean Nixon	GB	Risky
Jerry Jeudy leads all Browns pass catchers in target share on the season, but by a slim margin. He’s caught 9 of 16 targets for a team high 117 receiving yards, but has yet to find the end zone. Jeudy should be due for some positive regression in the TD department, but it might have to wait a week with a tough matchup against Packers CB Keisean Nixon on the horizon.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
CeeDee Lamb	DAL	22.1 / 18.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tyrique Stevenson	CHI	Safe
CeeDee Lamb remains a set it and forget it fantasy superstar. After 11 targets in Week 2, Lamb has double digit targets in back-to-back weeks to start the season. You’re starting Lamb regardless of matchup, it’s just the icing on top of the cake that he has a plus matchup this week as well.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Marvin Mims	DEN	6.8 / 5.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Donte Jackson	LAC	Moderate
While Marvin Mims is the primary right outside WR for the Broncos, he’s competing for 3rd in team target share. A touchdown saved Mims days in Week 2, who only had 2 targets which he turned into 2 receptions for 24 yards. I would avoid Mims in all formats at this time.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaa	DET	6.1 / 5.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Nate Wiggins	BAL	Moderate
While Isaac TeSlaa continues to see his snap count rise, his opportunity has not. TeSlaa has started the season with 1 target in back-to-back games, and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Matthew Golden	GB	2.6 / 2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Denzel Ward	CLE	Safe
It's been a disappointing start to Matthew Golden’s rookie season to say the least, with 4 targets and only 2 receptions across the first two games of his career. With the unfortunate injury to Jayden Reed, it’s possible this could open things open for a bigger role for Golden, but I’m waiting to plug him into my lineup until I see the usage improve.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Hutchinson	HOU	5.2 / 4.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jarrian Jones	JAC	Moderate
There’s not another WR outside of Nico Collins on the Texans with a target share greater than 10%. Given the lack of involvement, Xavier Hutchinson should be avoided in all formats regardless of the matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Michael Pittman	IND	14 / 11.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jarvis Brownlee	TEN	Safe
As expected, Michael Pittman had a down week against the Broncos in Week 2 with 5 targets, 4 receptions, and 40 reception yards. The matchup is much better in Week 3 against the Titans, and Pittman is still the clear #2 option behind TE Tyler Warren, coming in 2nd on the team in target share, receiving yards, and first read percentage. Pittman should be a solid WR3 or flex option for your fantasy team this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Dyami Brown	JAC	13.2 / 11.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kamari Lassiter	HOU	Moderate
Hand up if you had Dyami Brown as the Jaguars leader in receiving yards heading into Week 3? Yeah, me neither. Lawrence and Brown have been on the same page to start the year, but it’s not likely to be sustainable. Brown is still 3rd among Jacksonville pass catchers in target share and first read share, so if those trends continue, the receiving yards should start to even out soon.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Xavier Worthy	KC	0 / 0
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cordale Flott	NYG	Moderate
Xavier Worthy is hoping to make his return from his shoulder injury in Week 3, but I wouldn’t rush to immediately put him back in your lineup. I’d be surprised if he was a full-time player in his first week back, so I would just keep an eye on his usage this week to see if you can feel good about putting him back in your lineup in Week 4.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tre Tucker	LV	9.2 / 7.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Trey Amos	WAS	Moderate
Since Geno Smith ended up throwing the ball 43 times, Tre Tucker ended up with 8 targets but was only able to turn that into 3 receptions for 12 receiving yards. It would have been encouraging to see more production out of this opportunity, but his ceiling continues to be competing with RB Ashton Jeanty as the 3rd option in this passing offense.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Keenan Allen	LAC	18.5 / 15.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Riley Moss	DEN	Moderate
Keenan Allen and Justin Herbert truly haven’t missed a beat. Allen once again led the Chargers pass catchers in targets in Week 2 (technically tied with Quentin Johnston), and finished with 5 receptions, 61 yards and a TD. Through two games, Allen leaders the Chargers in target share and is tied for the lead in end zone targets as well. While I expect targets to end up being distributed pretty evenly between Ladd McConkey and Keenan, it looks like Allen has once again worked himself into a role where he should be fantasy relevant moving forward.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jordan Whittington	LAR	3.4 / 2.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Adoree' Jackson	PHI	Moderate
While Jordan Whittington has beaten out Tutu Atwell for the Rams WR3 job, it doesn’t mean much for fantasy managers. Whittington only has a 3.2% target share on the season. With this offense running through Puka and Adams, Whittington should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tyreek Hill	MIA	14 / 11.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Tre'Davious White	BUF	Moderate
The target leader in Week 2 for the Dolphins ended up being RB De’Von Achane, but Tyreek Hill was 2nd with 7 targets that he converted to 6 receptions and 109 yards. Tyreek leads all Dolphins WRs and TEs with a 20.6% target share and 2.87 yards per route run. Tyreek could be a high upside option this week, especially if Jaylen Waddle ends up missing this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jalen Nailor	MIN	5 / 4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
DJ Turner	CIN	Moderate
Jordan Addison will make his return to this article next week, but for now let’s talk about Jalen Nailor. In Week 2, Nailor was 2nd among Minnesota pass catchers with 5 targets but only ended up with 3 receptions for 31 yards. On the year, Nailor has a 14.6% target share, and has been behind both Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hockenson in the target order. As the 3rd option in this offense, especially with backup QB Carson Wentz making the start, Nailor should be avoided this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Stefon Diggs	NE	9.5 / 6.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jalen Ramsey	PIT	Risky
Stefon Diggs saw his snaps in crease from 41% in Week 1 to 52% in Week 2, but his targets actually decreased. Despite only being a part-time player, Diggs still has the most targets through two weeks, and QB Drake Maye was quoted this week saying he wanted to get Diggs the ball more. For now, Diggs remains a decent WR3 or flex option.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Rashid Shaheed	NO	12.3 / 9.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Riq Woolen	SEA	Moderate
While Rashid Shaheed still appears to be the 3rd option in the Saints passing offense behind Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson, he still had a solid game in week 2 with 4 receptions, 52 yards, and 1 TD on 5 targets. The Saints are going to find themselves in a pass heavy game script more often than not, so Shaheed can be an intriguing flex option while the volume is there with the talent he possess.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Malik Nabers	NYG	26.4 / 22.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jaylen Watson	KC	Moderate
I’m not sure how many more times the Giants are going to ask Russell Wilson to throw the ball 40+ times again this season, but I know Malik Nabers fantasy managers are happy they did in Week 2. Nabers ended up with 9 receptions, 167 yards, and 2 TDs on a team high 13 targets. As expected, Nabers has a team high 30.8% target share through two weeks, and should be started every week regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Arian Smith	NYJ	0.4 / 0.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Zyon McCollum	TB	Moderate
While it looks like rookie Arian Smith might be carving out a consistent role as the Jets WR2, it hasn’t meant much for his fantasy value yet. After only playing 9% of snaps in Week 1, Smith played 47% of snaps in Week 2. You shouldn’t depend on Smith in Week 3, especially with a backup QB, but he’s someone to keep an eye on in an offense that’s desperate for another difference making pass catcher.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jahan Dotson	PHI	5.2 / 4.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Darious Williams	LAR	Moderate
Jahan Dotson only ended up with 1 target in Week 2, and a 9% target share through two weeks. At best, Dotson is the 4th option in this passing offense and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DK Metcalf	PIT	11.7 / 9.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Carlton Davis	NE	Moderate
While targets have been pretty spread out between DK Metcalf, both starting TEs, and RB Jaylen Warren, Metcalf is leading the team slightly with a 20% target share and 24.4% first read percentage. He was also able to find the end zone for the first time this season in Week 2 as well. With the unexpected slow start for the Steelers defense, this offense might have to throw the ball more than they would like, which will be great for Metcalf. He appears to be an option with a pretty safe floor, with some upside as well on weeks that the Steelers might have more passing attempts.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ricky Pearsall	SF	13.5 / 11.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kei'Trel Clark	ARI	Moderate
Pearsall has now finished with at least 4 targets and 50 yards in the first two games of the season, however, he was behind both Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings in targets in Week 2. Pearsall should be more of a boom-or-bust WR3 while Brock Purdy is injured.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Tory Horton	SEA	5.6 / 5.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Kool-Aid McKinstry	NO	Moderate
Tory Horton got more involved in Week 2, with 2 receptions and 32 yards on 4 targets. He also scored his first career receiving touchdown, however, he’s dealing with a groin injury going into Week 3. While it’s encouraging to see his role continue to grow, Horton should be avoided until the production appears to be a little more consistent.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Emeka Egbuka	TB	18.3 / 16.3
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Brandon Stephens	NYJ	Moderate
Emeka Egbuka found the end zone once again in Week 2, and now has 3 receiving touchdowns across the first two games of his career. The receiving touchdown lifted his fantasy finish, as he only had 4 receptions and 29 yards to go along with it. While Egbuka has had a great start to his career, he’s still the clear WR2 behind Mike Evans and could be a sell high candidate if one of your league mates view him as a WR1.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Calvin Ridley	TEN	7.7 / 5.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Mekhi Blackmon	IND	Moderate
Calvin Ridley had a tough task in Week 1 having to deal with Broncos CB Pat Surtain, he ended up with a team high 57 receiving yards in Week 2. Typically you would want your team leader in receiving yards to be much higher than that, but the Titans offense has struggled to get going through two weeks under rookie QB Cam Ward. With a couple tough matchups to start the year, I believe there are still better days ahead for Calvin Ridley.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jaylin Lane	WAS	1.7 / 1.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Eric Stokes	LV	Moderate
It appears Jaylin Lane is taking over the Commanders WR3 job, which really means he’s the 4th option at best behind the top two WRs and TE Zach Ertz. Lane should be avoided in all formats.


Slot WR vs Slot CB
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Amon-Ra St. Brown	DET	25.4 / 22.1
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Marlon Humphrey	BAL	Moderate
The Lions passing offense was the Amon-Ra show in Week 2, with St. Brown leading all Lions pass catchers with 11 targets, 9 receptions, 115 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns to cap off the incredible fantasy performance. While multiple touchdowns per week isn’t sustainable, it’s clear that St. Brown is once again the Lions WR1 with a team high 24% target share. He’s a must start player regardless of matchup.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Travis Hunter	JAC	7.3 / 5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Jalen Pitre	HOU	Moderate
While expectations might have been high for Travis Hunter, he only has 55 receiving yards through two weeks despite leading all Jaguars pass catchers with 9 receptions. The fact that Hunter has been as involved as he’s been this early in his career is a great sign. He’s 2nd behind Brian Thomas in both target share and first read percentage, however, due to the low average depth of target there hasn’t been much room for explosive plays. Hunter should continue to improve throughout his rookie season with better days ahead.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Hollywood Brown	KC	14 / 10.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Andru Phillips	NYG	Moderate
Through two weeks Hollywood Brown leads all Kansas City pass catchers in target share, targets per route run, and yards per route run. He’s also the team leader in first read percentage and 1st downs per route run. The Giants have been giving up fantasy points to WRs in bunches to start the year, so I’ll be starting Hollywood with confidence for at least one more week while I’m expecting Xavier Worthy to be eased back into the offense.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jakobi Meyers	LV	15.3 / 11.8
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Mike Sainristil	WAS	Moderate
The good news is that Jakobi has been extremely involved in the Raiders passing offense the first two weeks. He leads all pass catchers, including Brock Bowers, in target share, receptions, and receiving yards. The bad news is that last week QB Geno Smith looked rough, and despite having 12 targets, Meyers only ended up with 6 receptions for 68 receiving yards and finished as the WR37 on the week. Meyers should continue to be a safe floor play as a top 2 option in this passing offense but given the matchup it doesn’t look like there’s going to be much upside there this week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Ladd McConkey	LAC	11.6 / 8.9
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Ja'Quan McMillian	DEN	Moderate
While Ladd McConkey might not be the clear target leader that fantasy managers were hoping whenever they drafted him at the 2-3 turn in redraft leagues, he hasn’t been bad either. McConkey is still tied for the 2nd highest target share and the highest first read percentage among Chargers pass catchers. With how even targets are being distributed between Johnston, Allen, and McConkey, the volume might not be there as many boom games, but he should continue to be a consistent producer with a safe floor
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Puka Nacua	LAR	26.9 / 22.4
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Cooper DeJean	PHI	Risky
While Adams was the most productive Rams WR in the passing game in Week 2, Puka Nacua still had 8 receptions on 9 targets with 91 yards and added another 45 yards and a TD on an end-around carry he received early in the game as well. Puka and Adams are tied with a team high 32.3% target share and Puka has a team high 36.4% first read share. Puka is a must start, even in a tough matchup like the one this week with Eagles CB Cooper DeJean.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Chris Olave	NO	11.9 / 8.6
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Devon Witherspoon	SEA	Moderate
Chris Olave now has a team high 27.5% target share through two weeks, with double-digit targets in back-to-back games. Even with the QB play being much worse than what you would prefer, Olave should be in your fantasy lineup with the volume that he’s seeing on a weekly basis and the Saints likely needing to play catch up each week.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
DeVonta Smith	PHI	7 / 5.2
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Quentin Lake	LAR	Moderate
DeVonta Smith had to leave the game momentarily after he landed hard on his tailbone but ended up returning and playing 75% of the snaps. Smith had 4 receptions and 53 yards and still appears to be a top two target, the Eagles passing offense just hasn’t been very productive to start the year with Jalen Hurts only having 253 passing yards in the first two games combined. Better days should be ahead for Smith, similar to A.J. Brown.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Jauan Jennings	SF	11.8 / 10
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Garrett Williams	ARI	Moderate
Jauan Jennings ended up leading 49ers pass catchers in targets during Mac Jones first start filling in for injured starting QB Brock Purdy. Jennings ended the week with 5 receptions and 89 yards on 10 targets and found the end zone as well. Mac Jones appears to be serviceable enough to support at least one pass catcher each week, which could be big for Jennings if he remains Jones go-to target while Purdy is out.
Wide Receiver	Team	DK / FD PPG
Deebo Samuel	WAS	20 / 16.5
Cornerback	Opp	Matchup
Darnay Holmes	LV	Moderate
Deebo Samuel has now stacked together back-to-back solid weeks, although a touchdown saved his fantasy day in Week 2. Sameul was just behind Terry McLaurin with 8 targets, but as a clear top two option in this offense, he should be considered a backend WR2. However, you’ll want to temper expectations if backup QB Marcus Mariota ends up needing to fill in for Jayden Daniels who still has not practiced as of Thursday afternoon.
