5 NFL Fantasy waiver wire wide receivers for Week 2 2022 season ft. Curtis Samuel

As the NFL season is finally back underway, it means our fantasy teams have also kicked off the season. We saw some of the game’s best wide receivers ball out in Week 1, such as Justin Jefferson. He had 184 receiving yards along with two touchdowns in the Minnesota Vikings' win against the Green Bay Packers.

While Jefferson will not be available to pick in your fantasy league’s waiver wire, there are still plenty of excellent receivers who you could grab to win your games and your league!

#5 – Jarvis Landry

Veteran wide receiver Jarvis Landry was an under-the-radar free agency pickup by the New Orleans Saints during the offseason, and would be an excellent pick in your fantasy league.

Landry seems to have formed an instant connection with quarterback Jameis Winston as he was targeted nine times in the Saints’ Week 1 win against the Atlanta Falcons.

According to Fantasypros, he’s still available in around half of all leagues. While the veteran may play second fiddle to Michael Thomas, expect him to be an excellent waiver wire steal.

#4 – Tyler Boyd

The Cincinnati Bengals offense is dominated by Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. But with the latter possibly missing time due to injury, Tyler Boyd could be an excellent streaming option in your league.

Boyd has always been a viable fantasy option whenever Higgins has missed time, as he finished WR9 when Higgins missed Week 4 of 2021. Look to grab the veteran slot man in your league, especially if Higgins is inactive.
