10 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 2
Whether Week 1 went your way or not, you should know about these potential Week 2 difference-makers.

Jake Locker, QB, Tennessee Titans

Jake Locker quietly put together a Jake Locker type of day. The Titans and Chiefs game probably didn't draw too much intrigue, but Locker ended the day with 20 fantasy points.

Locker added a small bit to his total by rushing for 14 yards. I know it doesn't sound like much, but he ran the ball six times, and is always a threat to add rushing yards to his stat line.

Fortunately, his passing stats were pretty solid: 266 yards and 2 touchdowns. Despite opening the season in Arrowhead Stadium, Locker avoided turnovers against the Kansas City defense, which doesn't appear to be what it was last year for plenty of reasons.

Coming off a solid start, Locker gets to play the next one in Tennessee against a pretty forgiving defense. It's the Dallas Cowboys, who were torched early and often in Week 1 by the San Francisco 49ers.

Back-to-back 20-point fantasy weeks from Locker is a bold prediction, but if he can do it against the Chiefs, he has the potential to do it against the Cowboys.
