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.

Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Carolina Panthers

Kelvin Benjamin made a pretty solid impact in his first career NFL game. The Florida State receiver ended the day with 6 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so it didn't seem to matter that Cam Newton missed the game.

Cam should be ready for Week 2, giving Benjamin the lead role in what should be a more successful offense than the Panthers had this past Sunday.

The over/under should be decent once it's set because the Detroit Lions can score points with the best offenses in the league. Additionally, they ranked just 24th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per play last season, so their passing defense is pretty generous.

Benjamin, who had eight targets in Week 1, should be in position for another big week on a team that doesn't have many viable pass-catching options.
