Week 2 saw many changes at the quarterback position, including two from the 2004 Draft, Eli Manning and Ben Roethlisberger. Although their absences don’t entirely shake up the rankings, it opens the door for newer, younger faces to emerge as the games top fantasy quarterbacks. With only a two game sample size, offenses are starting to take shape and defenses are starting to learn their tendencies. This makes for more intriguing matchups across the board, and new players enter the fantasy picture. All rankings are made for standard, non-PPR formats.<\/p>\n

            • If either Alshon Jeffery or Desean Jackson is inactive Sunday, rookie JJ Arcega-Whiteside will be the receiver you will want to keep you eyes on. He played 75 snaps last week and may have to do it again if the Eagles are without their top pass catchers.<\/li>\n
            • With Sterling Shepard still dealing with a concussion, TJ Jones and Cody Latimer are the next men up in New York.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Sleeper Pick of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

                    Miles Boykin @ Chiefs<\/span><\/p>\n

                    In a game that looks to have the highest score of the week, there will be plenty of players that will get a chance to have fantasy relevance. The Ravens offense is facing it\u2019s toughest test of the season, but the Chiefs secondary is vulnerable to surrendering big fantasy games to receivers. They are currently ranked 20th in Pass YPG allowed, so Lamar should be able to air it out and keep scoring with the Chiefs explosive offense. This means that the 6\u20194\u201d rookie from Notre Dame could be primed for a big day. He has been relatively quiet in his first two career games, but he was already able to find the end zone. As Boykin\u2019s chemistry grows with Jackson, his production in this new look offense will continue to grow as well. Sunday could be the breakout game he needed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
