    Week 2 is here, and wide receiver usage is already shifting after some surprising Week 1 results. We saw new faces emerge, familiar stars stumble, and a few breakout performances that could reshape fantasy lineups. Matchups, injuries, and snap shares are all factored into these rankings to give you the clearest picture heading into the week.

    1. CeeDee Lamb – DAL vs NYG (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Lamb was targeted 13 times in Week 1, catching 7 passes for 110 yards, but four drops including two late cost Dallas a chance to win. He still commands elite volume and is set up to rebound against the Giants.

    2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba – SEA @ PIT (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Smith-Njigba saw 13 targets in Week 1, catching nine for 124 yards and carrying over 80 percent of Seattle’s receiving yardage. Pittsburgh’s pressure should again funnel quick throws his way, making him a high-floor PPR option.

    3. Ja’Marr Chase – CIN vs JAX (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Chase managed only 2 catches for 26 yards in Week 1, but he has torched Jacksonville in past matchups. He remains a top option with bounce-back upside.

    4. Justin Jefferson – MIN vs ATL (Sun 8:20 PM ET)
    Jefferson caught 6 of 9 targets for 85 yards in Week 1, showing his usual reliability even without a touchdown. Atlanta’s defense ranks near the bottom, giving him strong WR1 upside again.

    5. Puka Nacua – LAR @ TEN (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Nacua opened with 9 catches on 11 targets for 98 yards, continuing his role as the Rams’ focal point. Tennessee’s secondary remains exploitable, keeping him in the WR1 mix.

    6. Malik Nabers – NYG @ DAL (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Nabers drew 12 targets in Week 1, catching 5 for 71 yards to immediately establish himself as the Giants’ top option. Even in a tough matchup, his volume keeps him in the WR2 mix with upside.

    7. Garrett Wilson – NYJ vs BUF (Sun 1:00 PM ET)
    Wilson opened with 8 targets, catching 5 for 72 yards, showing clear WR1 usage with Rodgers. Buffalo’s secondary allowed multiple chunk plays in Week 1, giving him top-10 upside again.
