These WR's show promising value for the upcoming weeks and aren't on everybody's team. They aren't supposed to be fantasy stars but could produce great numbers over this fantasy season and those to come.
Top 5 Waiver Wire WR's for Week 2
- Puka Nacua (77% Rostered/LAR): Nacua had a flashy week one with 15 targets, 10 receptions, and a staggering 119 yards. With Cooper Cupp not having a timetable for return, Nacua could have a heavy workload over the next few weeks.
- Tutu Atwell (52% Rostered/LAR): Tutu, similar to Nacua benefited from Cupp's absence with a 6-reception and 119-yard day. Tutu could hold value as a low-end flex for upcoming weeks.
- Rashid Shaheed (78% Rostered/NO): If this guy is on waivers in your league, GET HIM. He seems to be one of Carr's favorite targets and his production shows that. He racked up 86 receiving yards, 110 punt return yards, 5 receptions, and a TD. The Saints have utilized him as a trick play specialized and he has huge upside for the future of this season.
- Kendrick Bourne (32% Rostered/NE): Bourne found the endzone twice on Sunday against Philly. If Mac Jones continues to produce good numbers Bourne's output will reflect that.
- Josh Reynolds (39% Rostered/DET): With Jameson Williams suspended, Reynolds has huge upside this season and showed that against the Chiefs, with 4 receptions for 80 yards.
