Week 2 Fantasy Football Rankings: Wide Receivers

After a monster game, Tyreek Hill jumps to No. 2 and takes aim at the top spot.

It’s time to start thinking about setting your Week 2 lineups, and we’re here to help with our initial fantasy player rankings! I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system for these rankings, which you can use in coordination with the Week 2 edition of Start Em, Sit Em. At Sports Illustrated, we always have you completely covered!

Several big-name wideouts, including Tee Higgins, Amari Cooper and Tyler Lockett had stinkers last week, but all remain fantasy starters this week. Calvin Ridley made a big push into the top 10, and both Puka Nacua and Kendrick Bourne are more interesting as potential flex starters after impressive opening weekends.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck everyone!
