Top Week 2 Fantasy football picks

One surprise in Week 2: The model is fading Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. , even though the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft was a second-round pick on average. In fact, the model says Harrison doesn't even finish in the top 30 at his position and he's a player who you might want to be cautious with in Week 2.

After being touted as the clear No. 1 option in the Arizona passing attack all offseason, Harrison was only targeted three times on Sunday and caught one pass for four yards. Trey McBride (nine targets) and Greg Dortch (eight targets) were Kyler Murray's favorite options and even running back James Conner outpaced Harrison in targets 4-3. He'll match up against the Rams this week and it might be worth taking a wait-and-see approach going forward.

A curveball: The model is high on Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams , a former first-round pick who had only 25 catches for 395 yards in his first two season, but managed five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown in Detroit's opener. Williams looked explosive every time he had the ball in his hands and had a staggering 68% air yards share against the Rams.

His target share was also 32% in the Sunday Night Football win over Los Angeles and Williams had only had five games in his career prior to that where his target share had even reached 10%. Now he'll take on a Buccaneers pass defense that ranked 29th in the NFL last season and the model ranks him as a top-10 wide receiver for Week 2.
