Week 2 was a proving ground for several sleeper picks, while others are still waiting for their chance:
- Kayshon Boutte (WR, Patriots): He had a big game in Week 2, catching many passes and logging over 100 receiving yards. He’s showing enough to deserve flex consideration in deeper leagues.
- Calvin Austin III (WR, Steelers): While not yet a weekly starter for many, Austin showed some deep threat capability and could offer boom or bust value, especially in matchups where long completions are possible.
- Tre Tucker (WR, Raiders): He’s getting air yards and looks in offense schemed for big plays. If volume increases, his upside gets very interesting.
- Bhayshul Tuten (RB, Jaguars): With Bigsby moved out of the picture, Tuten’s potential for touches has increased. Even though Week 2 was modest, the opportunity is too good to ignore.
- Chig Okonkwo (TE, Titans): Trusted snaps and role in the passing game give him sleeper appeal, particularly in matchups with weaker defenses or where tight ends are involved heavily.
- Juwan Johnson (TE, Saints): He could become a reliable option in TE-scarce lineups, especially with injuries up front in many offenses.
