Justin: Nate Burleson @ Washington Redskins
Detroit likes to throw, and Washington is bad at stopping their opponents from throwing. Burleson had a nice game in Week 1 and he could improve upon that if Reggie Bush sits this one out. If you’re a Larry Fitzgerald or Roddy White owner looking for a fill-in play, Burleson may be your guy.
David: DeAndre Hopkins @ Baltimore Ravens
If Titans fans weren’t aware of how talented the rookie Hopkins truly is, now they definitely know after last week’s bitter loss. I was a huge proponent of his during the 2013 draft process and even went as far to start him against my beloved Titans last week (rewarded with 24.7 points in PPR format).
Now that Andre Johnson is questionable with concussion symptoms, Hopkins becomes the de-facto No. 1 wide receiver for the Texans. Baltimore looked much better last week against Cleveland after being torched by Peyton Manning week 1, but the Texans are a far superior team to the struggling Browns.
Look for Hopkins to receiver nearly double-digit targets again this upcoming week.
Matt: Jason Snelling @ Miami Dolphins
Snelling has a great opportunity this Sunday with Steven Jackson out with a quad injury. Jacquizz Rodgers will handle most of the lifting between the 20s but expect Snelling to get solid red-zone work. If you need a running back, then I’d pick him up and give him a shot this week.
