## Terry McLaurin at Cowboys
McLaurin posted just 3.4 fantasy points in Week 1 but has a plus matchup against Cowboys who allowed the second-highest EPA/Pass percentage.
## Emeka Egbuka at Browns
Egbuka is a potential start against the Browns with a favorable matchup on paper.
## Mike Evans vs. Dolphins
Evans has a favorable matchup against the Dolphins with a strong defensive unit.
## Jalen Coker at Falcons
Coker is a potential start against the Falcons with a strong defensive unit.
## Stefon Diggs at Cowboys
Diggs has a 27% chance to be a streamer as Cowboys allowed the second-highest EPA/Pass percentage in their opening game.
## Quentin Johnston vs. Raiders
Johnston has a 22% chance to be a streamer as Ladd McConkey is questionable and Johnston could be the top target for Justin Herbert.
## Deebo Samuel Sr. vs. Dolphins
Samuel has a 13% chance to be a streamer as De’Zhaun Stribling is out and Samuel tied for a team-high seven targets in Week 1.
## Drake London vs. Panthers
London has a favorable matchup against Panthers but Falcons’ quarterback situation is messy with Tua Tagovailoa questionable and Michael Penix Jr. out.
## Brian Thomas Jr. at Broncos
Thomas scored just seven fantasy points in Week 1 against the Browns and has a poor matchup against Broncos pass defense.
## Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Seahawks
Harrison scored just 4.3 fantasy points against the Chargers with only three targets and has a difficult matchup against Seahawks.
## DK Metcalf at Patriots
Metcalf has a history of success against Patriots but may struggle if Christian Gonzalez covers him frequently.
## Carnell Tate vs. Eagles
Tate has a lot of upside but Titans offense has looked terrible with Cam Ward under center and Eagles defense held Terry McLaurin to 3.4 points.
## Alec Pierce at Chiefs
Pierce has a potential start against the Chiefs with a favorable matchup on paper.
## Wan'Dale Robinson vs. Eagles
Robinson has a potential start against the Eagles with a favorable matchup on paper.
## Key takeaway

DeVonta Smith and DJ Moore are top starts for Week 2 fantasy football.
