With two weeks in the books, we’re beginning to see some new wide receivers emerge in the fantasy football landscape.

One of the biggest risers has been Jermaine Kearse. The New York Jets may be a mess, but in an offense devoid of playmakers, Kearse is already emerging as the top pass-catcher. In Week 2 vs. the Oakland Raiders, Kearse caught two touchdowns to go with four catches for 64 yards. He did well in Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills while catching seven passes for 59 yards.

Another receiver on the rise is Rashard Higgins, who was elevated to the active roster for the Cleveland Browns’ matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. He responded with seven catches for 95 yards. The Browns will rely heavily on Higgins now that Corey Coleman is on injured reserve with a hand injury.

Now, it’s time for a ranking of the top 50 receivers entering Week 3.
