More Week 2 Takes
Hakeem
Nicks: A Special Talent Breaking Loose
The second member of the Giants
dynamic duo receiving corp, wide receiver Hakeem Nicks quickly came out of his
early season slumber with a huge performance in week 2. After a very dismal
week one outing with just four catches for 38 yards, Nicks rewarded his fantasy
owners with an explosion in week two. His 199 yards receiving in week 2 lead
the league and for PPR owners he added 10 catches and a score; 25 fantasy
points in standard scoring. Nicks is a premier WR1 and owners can count on for
more big games.
Brent
Celek: Vick’s New Best Friend
The Eagles tight end Brent Celek
emerged on Sunday as quarterback Michael Vicks favorite target snatching 8
passes for 157 yards receiving. Celek led the team in receiving and all
receivers with 11 targets. This should come as little surprise since Celek is
also tied for the team lead with 19 targets; a good indication that he’s on
Vick’s radar every Sunday and should be fantasy lineups.
Donnie
Avery: A Man on the Rise
The former Rams receiver has been
incognito the past couple of seasons recovering from injury and the football
abyss, but this season he’s landed in Indianapolis where he may be on track to
resurrect what was once a promising career. In week two Avery caught nine balls
for 111 yards on 10 targets. He’s easily and quickly emerged as one of
quarterback Andrew Lucks favorite targets, second to Reggie Wayne. His 18
targets in two games makes him very relevant in fantasy and a strong flex play
in all formats.
Percy
Harvin: Footloose and Migraine Free
The Vikings explosive receiver Percy
Harvin is off to a quick start in 2012 and his 12 catches for 104 yards in week
two are just a small indication. In two games Harvin has been targeted 21, far
and away the most on the team. His 18 catches this season make him a PPR
darling and a good WR2 fantasy option week in and week out. As the season moves
along and quarterback Christian Ponder progresses, Harvin could become and even
greater fantasy option, but he’ll need to stay healthy.
Dwayne
Bowe: The Big Hands on the Reservation
The Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe
blew up for 102 yards receiving with two touchdowns in week 2 against the
Bills. Bowe was targeted 15 times on Sunday, third most for any receiver and
has 21 total targets in two games. Moving forward he is clearly quarterback
Matt Cassel’s go-to receiver and should be in all fantasy lineups.
