The NFL is back and one week of play is already in the books. Many teams relied on their stars<\/a> to carry them to success, but Week 1 had no shortage of heroes coming from lower places on the depth chart. Many teams were challenged by injuries and depth issues, but many guys stepped up and put together a nice week. From a fantasy football standpoint, some of these players are worth adding off the waiver wire for Week 2. Week 1\u2019s list highlights the receiver position, with guys like the Ravens\u2019 Devin Duvernay and the Panthers\u2019 Robbie Anderson having a great start.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note that to qualify for this list, a player needs to be available in at least 50% of fantasy leagues. Depending on the various sizes of fantasy leagues, there could be better or worse options available than the ones listed here. This article will cover leagues with an average of about 10-12 teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

Devin Duvernay, Robbie Anderson Highlight Waiver Wire Targets For Week 2<\/h2>\n

Devin Duvernay, Baltimore Ravens<\/h4>\n

Duvernay made a big stride in Week 1, posting 21.4 points behind a two-touchdown outing. Lamar Jackson played really well and looked good throwing, which could mean a big boost for the Ravens receivers. Duvernay caught all four of his targets for 54 yards and two touchdowns. His speed helped him break out for both of his 15+ yard scores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Duvernay is essentially the WR2 in Baltimore behind Rashod Bateman but is technically the third receiver on the team with star tight end Mark Andrews leading the unit. Duvernay could continue to see a steady share of targets as the Ravens continue to expand their offense. Plus, with a few key matchups against solid AFC East opponents coming up, the Ravens may have to rely on the passing game quite a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robbie Anderson, Carolina Panthers<\/h4>\n

Robbie Anderson had a really solid game for the first time in a long time. The Panthers struggled last year after sending out multiple insufficient quarterbacks. Now with Baker Mayfield, Carolina looks to expand their offense and get more people involved. Anderson finished Week 1 with five catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. A 75-yard bomb from Mayfield gave Anderson his first touchdown of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n
