Troy Franklin, WR, Broncos (Priority: Medium)
Troy Franklin had a huge game in which he had way more targets (9) than every other Denver receiver. And unlike Marvin Mims, he’s a real football player.
Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jaguars (Priority: Medium)
Tank Bigsby was traded to the Eagles, which will open up opportunities for Bhayshul Tuten. Travis Etienne is still the starter, but Tuten is a good handcuff who could eat into the workload late in the year.
Juwan Johnson, TE, Saints (Priority: Medium)
Juwan Johnson has had two big games to start the year. Spencer Rattler is too inept to get the ball to his receivers consistently, so he has to target Juwan Johnson.
Kayshon Boutte, WR, Patriots (Priority: Low)
There were glowing reports on Kayshon Boutte in the summer, and he responded with a 103-yard performance in Week 1. He’s been productive in his previous five games, dating back to last season.
Elic Ayomanor, WR, Titans (Priority: Low)
Elic Ayomanor isn’t a great addition by any means because the Titans are somewhat limited aerially, but he’s been a solid producer through two weeks.
Nico Collins, WR, Texans
Nico Collins was a no-show versus the Rams, but this was one of his toughest matchups of the year because of how good Los Angeles’ pass rush is.
TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Patriots
TreVeyon Henderson had just five touches in Week 2, but he’s way too talented not to see the ball going forward.
Quentin Johnston, WR, Chargers
Quentin Johnston caught two touchdowns, but this doesn’t seem sustainable.
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints
Alvin Kamara just ran for about 100 yards, so it’s time to sell high. Kamara is an older running back who will just wear down as the season progresses.
Cooper Kupp, WR, Seahawks
Cooper Kupp just had a rare good game. He’ll have a few of them this year, but he’ll be a disappointment overall. Trade him while you can.
Jameson Williams, WR, Lions
Jameson Williams had 108 yards and a touchdown, but saw just four targets. Jared Goff won’t have many games where he’ll be able to hit Williams deep downfield.
Javonte Williams, RB, Cowboys
Javonte Williams scored two touchdowns in the opener, but didn’t average four yards per carry despite Jalen Carter being out of the lineup. He scored again versus the Giants. One of the most obvious sell highs you’ll ever see.
Wan’Dale Robinson, WR, Giants
Wan’Dale Robinson just had a huge game, but that’s unlikely to happen very often. If you own him, sell high.
Kaleb Johnson, RB, Steelers
Kaleb Johnson had just one carry in the opener and one carry in Week 2. He also muffed a kickoff. He can be rostered if you have room as a handcuff, but he’s not involved in the game plan at all. Billionaire Arthur Smith at his finest.
Jayden Reed, WR, Packers
Jayden Reed broke his collarbone, so drop him unless you have an IR spot.
Dylan Sampson, RB, Broncos
Quinshon Judkins is back. Dylan Sampson didn’t get many touches as a result.
