Week 1 of the NFL season was a low-scoring affair. The scoring picked up in Week 2, led by the superstar wide receivers:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Fantasy managers who were disappointed in Chase after taking him with the 1st overall pick were much happier in Week 2. Chase caught 14 of 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown, finishing with over 36 fantasy points. Even when Joe Burrow left with an injury<\/a>, backup quarterback Jake Browning was peppering him with targets. Chase gets a slight downgrade without Burrow, but is still a WR1 in a matchup with Justin Jefferson and the Vikings<\/a> in Week 3.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Nabers caught nine of thirteen targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns. Nabers has a tougher matchup against the Chiefs<\/a> in Week 3, but he is still a top-five wide receiver.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Nacua had eight catches for 91 yards and a 45-yard rushing touchdown.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • St. Brown had nine catches for 115 yards and three touchdowns. St. Brown has a fun matchup against the Ravens<\/a> defense, which struggled in Week 1. The concerns of not having Ben Johnson as the offensive coordinator have vanished.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
