Week 1 is in the books and into the grind of the season we go fellow Fantasy Footballers. Week 2 already presents some hard decisions for owners after some tough injuries, poor performances, and breakout performances.
Fantasy football rankings, Week 2: Consensus wide receivers for PPR leagues
The SB Nation fantasy team reveals which wide receivers rank in the top 50 for PPR leagues heading into Week 2.
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
The biggest injury news out of the weekend was Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen tearing his ACL against the Chiefs. The loss of Allen means the San Diego depth chart now features free agent acquisition Travis Benjamin, Dontelle Inman, and Tyrell Williams. Danny Woodhead owners should also expect a boost in receptions after hauling in 80 catches last season.
Sammy Watkins (Foot) and Demaryius Thomas (Hip) are also on the injury report and their status should be monitored until game time. Luckily, there was some breakout performers (Will Fuller, Mohamed Sanu, Mike Wallace, Tajae Sharpe, Eli Rogers) that should be on the waiver wire that could fit into your lineup quite nicely.
Finishing up my rankings now. Let me know if you need anything else.
