Week 2 Wide Receiver news and notes
- It’s official, Julio Jones has become the clear #2 WR NFL in my eyes. Look for him to continue as Bailey will likely stay on White for the majority of the game.
- Austin Collie’s status is still up in the air for week 2, and if he doesn’t play expect another big game from Reggie Wayne. Wayne had a league leading 18 targets in week 1 and Andrew Luck is consistently looking his way.
- It’s very tough to rank Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown in week 2. Darrelle Revis suffered a mild concussion, and if he plays he will shut one of them down. The hardest part is which one.
-Even though we strongly recommend both Kevin Ogletree and Stephen Hill, we don’t have them in our top 50 because we really want to see them have another big game first. There are a lot of players who have big games and go right back to their usual production.
