7 Deep Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Carson Palmer bombed in Week 1 but is poised for a rebound versus the Colts. What other players join him as low-owned options?

Jermaine Kearse, WR, New York Jets

ESPN Ownership: 2.7%

Even after being in a New York Jets uniform for less than two weeks, Jermaine Kearse received the majority of the attention in the passing game during their Week 1 matchup with the Buffalo Bills. While Robby Anderson and Kearse played virtually the same number snaps (57 to 55 in favor of Anderson), Kearse saw more targets (9 to 8) and pulled in 7 catches for 55 yards, leading the team in both categories.

The Jets are 13.5-point underdogs in Week 2 versus the Oakland Raiders, leaving them no choice but to be pass-heavy once again -- they attempted 39 passes compared to just 15 rushing plays last Sunday. Jeremy Kerley may be active in this one, which would likely take a few looks away from Kearse, but the former Seattle Seahawk should be able to find more room against a weaker Raiders defense. Oakland allowed three different Tennessee Titans pass-catchers to haul in at least 5 passes and 69 yards in Week 1.
