Upgrades For Week 2 Wide Receiver Rankings: DJ Moore, Christian Watson & More
Key Points:
- Fantasy analyst Freedman upgrades wide receivers Christian Watson and Antonio Williams for Week 2 due to favorable matchups, advantageous defensive weaknesses, and increased usage expectations.
- The Jets and Cowboys defenses are identified as particularly vulnerable to wide receivers, with the Jets ranking last in defensive dropback EPA and the Cowboys allowing the largest fantasy boost to WRs last season.
- Christian Watson had a strong Week 1 performance (6 receptions, 147 yards, 2 TDs) and benefits from potentially missing key Jets defenders, despite the Packers playing a second straight road game.
- Antonio Williams, a rookie with notable athleticism and efficiency in Week 1, could see increased opportunities due to injuries on the Commanders and Cowboys, making him a valuable waiver wire target in some leagues.
