8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Still owned in fewer than half of ESPN public leagues, Tajae Sharpe has established himself as the Titans' leading wide receiver, and he has a good matchup against the Lions.

Tajae Sharpe, WR, Tennessee Titans

I wrote about Tajae Sharpe being a sleeper last week, and after waivers cleared this week, he is still available in just over half of ESPN public leagues.

While it wasn't an outstanding fantasy game for Sharpe in Week 1, the preseason noise about his being the number-one receiver for the Tennessee Titans was confirmed. Sharpe played 64 of the Titans' 67 snaps, while no other receiver saw more than 37 in Week 1. His 11 targets were a team-high, accounting for 26% of the team's total, as well as 41% of the targets that went to wide receivers.

Sharpe also draws a good matchup this week, taking on a Detroit Lions defense that ranked 25th against the pass in 2015 and allowed 385 yards and 4 touchdowns through the air in Week 1.

Sharpe is not only a strong play this week, but his workload also makes him a guy who could find his way into your lineup more often than not over the remainder of the season.
