If you need a wide receiver for your fantasy football team, check out these potential Week 2 waiver wire pickups including Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams), Kendrick Bourne (New England Patriots), and Zay Jones (Jacksonville Jaguars).
Upgrade your fantasy football team with these potential wide receiver pickups. In the opening week of the NFL season, approximately 40 wide receivers posted double-digits fantasy points.
Jakobi Meyers (Las Vegas Raiders), Rashee Rice (New Orleans Saints), Romeo Doubs (Green Bay Packers), and Allen Robinson II (Pittsburgh Steelers) are also worth considering, especially in leagues with 12 or more teams.
Puka Nacua (WR, Rams)
The Rams performed well as underdogs in Week 1, with quarterback Matthew Stafford leading the team to victory. With All-Pro wide receiver Cooper Kupp out due to injury, Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell stepped up and showed their talent. Nacua, a rookie from BYU, was particularly impressive with 10 catches for 119 yards in his NFL debut. The Rams will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2.
Rookie running back Kyren Williams and Nacua are popular waiver wire pickups for Week 2.
Kendrick Bourne (WR, Patriots)
Under the new offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, Kendrick Bourne had a strong performance for the New England Patriots in Week 1. Bourne caught two touchdowns and contributed to the team’s offense. Despite their loss, the Patriots have potential for improvement and Bourne could continue to shine under the new coaching staff.
Zay Jones (WR, Jaguars)
Quarterback Trevor Lawrence showcased his connection with Zay Jones in Week 1, with Jones catching a touchdown pass. With Calvin Ridley suspended, Jones could be a valuable asset for the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars will face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, and the game is expected to be high-scoring.
Meyers, Robinson, Rice, and Doubs
Jakobi Meyers from the Las Vegas Raiders had a strong performance in Week 1, making him a favorite target for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Rashee Rice, Romeo Doubs, and Allen Robinson II also showed promise in their respective teams and could be valuable additions to fantasy football rosters.
