A lot happened in week two of the NFL, and honestly, a lot of wide receivers got hurt,

0:04.2

and that's going to impact your fantasy teams. And I'm talking about big name wide receivers.

0:07.9

So in this video, we are discussing 10 wide receivers that you could add right now.

0:11.2

Pick up on your fantasy team to help improve your team and, you know, get to the playoffs win a championship.

0:15.4

And we'll start with the Chargers second year player, former first round pick, and that's Quentin Johnson at a TCU, the man who just turned 23 years old. He had an interesting week two, finally. Like in week one, we saw some nice

0:25.4

usage out of him. He had a big yards after the catch play, and in week two, that continued. Because as

0:29.1

you can see right here, Quinn Johnson put up not just five catches for 51 yards, found the end zone

0:33.3

twice, had six targets. He had some big boy catches in this game downfield jump ball type stuff

0:38.0

and held onto those balls, which was the problem with him in his rookie year with drops,

0:41.7

22 fantasy points, a massive day. And look, the usage for him in week two was good. He ends up leading

0:46.1

the team at snaps. By far, he had 14 more snaps than any other receiver. He was staying on the field

0:50.2

in those one wide receiver sets when the charges were running the ball heavily. He runs 19 routes the most in the team. His six targets are the most on the team. Over a 30% target share is

0:58.9

good to see. So everything is kind of clicking. And indeed in this game, he had a career high

1:03.2

32% target share. Now, I do have to point out some things though, because in this game,

1:07.9

we had Josh Palmer coming into it, banged and injured and that was kind of evident based on his usage he might have been a little bit limited DJ Shark is still out

1:14.8

for a couple of more weeks he'll be back in his potentially in two weeks off of iR and then you

1:19.6

have lad McConkey who i believe after week one when he led the team in target share and usage

1:23.3

i believe he's actually going to be the number one receiver on this team by the end of the year in terms of overall targets. So although this was a great game for Quentin Johnson, he's not the guy

1:30.5

that you go out there and spend a massive amount like 25 plus percent of your budget on because,

1:34.8

again, there's still some other guys in this wide receiver room. And this is a run first team.

1:38.4

Let me remind you, this team ran 44 times. There you go, two fours, 44 times in week two. And they only threw like 19 times.

1:45.0

But there is no doubt about it that Johnson should be taking a step forward this year. So he should
