Brandon Marshall
New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall runs drills during team training camp. "

Antonio Brown (Pittsburgh Steelers):  Brown is a fantasy lock every week. He faces a St. Louis defense that will have trouble stopping the best wide receiver in fantasy football. The Rams defense will put a ton of pressure on Big Ben however the Steelers will get the ball to Brown whenever they feel like a play is breaking down. The Rams will also have most of their attention focused on the returning Le'Veon Bell. Brown is a WR1 every week.

Terrence Williams (Dallas Cowboys): Williams will continue his opportunity to become the Cowboys number one wide receiver. He has Brandon Weeden throwing to him which may be a better thing. Weeden played a ton in the offseason especially with Williams as Bryant was holding out of training camp. Weeden may actually have more chemistry with Williams than people actually realize. Williams will be the main wide receiver going up against a modest secondary. Terrance Williams is a WR2 with WR1 upside for week 3.

Brandon Marshall (New York Jets): Marshall should be able to abuse the Eagle's secondary. He has put up big numbers in his last 2 games and will continue to dominate this week. The Eagles did nothing to stop a Dez Bryant-less Cowboys offense from moving all over the field; they should have a harder time dealing Marshall. He will be a high end WR1 for week 3.

Julio Jones (Atlanta Falcons): Jones has an opportunity to blow the doors off a Cowboys secondary that has something to prove. Jones will draw double and triple teams but 1 on 1 he can beat any defensive back in the NFL when he is healthy. His health is the primary question going into this matchup as Jones has been dealing with a minor hamstring ailment all week. Jones's status should be monitored but he is a solid WR1 for this week.
