We won’t have a good read on all the injuries until later in the week, so our time right now is better spent analyzing what we should and shouldn’t believe in so far. One team that has us believing in all of its key receivers is the Falcons. They seem intent on throwing the football all over the place, mostly to Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage. Jones and Ridley are unquestioned every-week starts at this point, while Gage is worth adding and considering in PPR formats and some deeper standard leagues, too.

There are now two weeks to make us believers in Marquez Valdes-Scantling, too. Aaron Rodgers hit him deep again in Week 2 and only an ankle tackle prevented a touchdown. He’s the type of boom-or-bust WR3 that DeSean Jackson, Mike Williams, Brandin Cooks, and Breshad Perriman are supposed to be, but perhaps MVS is ushering in a new era. At least we can count on John Brown in that role. On the flip side, we were let down last week by Scotty Miller with Chris Godwin out – not every future Hall-of-Fame quarterback can make magic happen for our sleepers, apparently, but a Week 3 matchup with Denver could get him back on track, as Tennessee and Pittsburgh both had success through the air against the Broncos.

Other players who impressed us in Week 2 and appear to be on the rise: CeeDee Lamb, the Cowboys rookie who had 106 receiving yards; Diontae Johnson, who found the end zone receiving and almost returned a punt for a TD, too; Laviska Shenault, who not only caught three more passes but also ran the football five times (UPDATE: He’s an appealing play with DJ Chark out on Thursday night); and KJ Hamler, who showed his explosiveness all over the Denver offense but might be a few weeks away from making a real impact now that Jeff Driskel figures to be in for Drew Lock (shoulder).

Again, these rankings are just a rough draft, as injuries figure to once again wreak havoc with this position. Fortunately, there are always new options, so we’ll stay on top of all the changes.
