    Chris Olave will keep seeing tons of targets.

  9. Nico Collins, WR, Texans (at Titans)- 14 Points

  19. Tre Harris, WR, Chargers (vs. Broncos)- 9 Points
    6 Catches, 90 Receiving Yards.
    Tre Harris could be worth starting if Ladd McConkey is out again.

    Luther Burden is the receiver to own in Chicago.

  30. Rome Odunze, WR, Bears (at Packers)- 6 Points

    Rome Odunze may continue to underwhelm.

  31. Khalil Shakir, WR, Bills (at Rams)- 6 Points

    4 Catches, 60 Receiving Yards.
    Tre Tucker is the Raiders' No. 1.

  36. Rashod Bateman, WR, Ravens (at Falcons)- 6 Points
