Week 1 is always tough for top-tier wide receivers. Ja’Marr Chase, Drake London, George Pickens, DeVonta Smith, and Puka Nacua all scored under 10 fantasy points. Aside from that, we also experienced injuries to A.J. Brown, Ladd McConkey, and Zay Flowers. If you are subject to an injured player, make sure to check out my Week 2 wide receiver rankings and see where your receivers sit.

Wide Receiver Notes
- Let’s start with Chris Olave as my WR6 going against the Baltimore Ravens. Olave had a huge week and was just missing the receiving touchdown. He finished the game with 10 receptions and 182 yards. Olave is the clear number one target and will be a top five wide receiver this season. They have a tough matchup this week, but that means Tyler Shough will have to air the ball out yet again.
- Next, I have Davante Adams as my WR30 this week going against the Giants. Adams has my panic meter a bit high going forward. The bright spot with Adams is his red zone talent. But he did not have a target in the red zone last week and was only on the field for one of the two passing plays. This does not look good for Adams, but on defense the Rams’ offense was abysmal. They still have a tough matchup against the Giants this week, who shut down Pickens to 28 yards, and they did give up a touchdown to CeeDee Lamb, but he only had 44 yards. Adams could be in line for a tough matchup this week.
- Lastly, I have Parker Washington as my WR12 who has the Broncos this week. The Broncos defense played well against the pass, but this Jaguars team looks too overpowered. Washington is in line to have another huge week, with Brian Thomas Jr. likely being locked up by Patrick Surtain II. Washington led the team in targets and in receiving yards. He finished last week with 83 yards and a touchdown.
