A Lion and a Lamb were among the biggest fantasy football standouts at wide receiver in Week 2.
While we might expect Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions to have a big game every week, CeeDee Lamb was held relatively in check in the Dallas Cowboys' season opener. However, he looked more like TeeDee Lamb as he carved up the Washington Commanders secondary for eight catches, 153 yards and two scores.
Lamb struggled with injuries a year ago, opening the door for George Pickens to take over as Dak Prescott's top target. But now that he's fully healthy, Lamb is back to turning defenders legs into jelly.
St. Brown and Lamb are joined at the top of this week's wide receiver rankings by the Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba and − somewhat surprsingly − the Saints'
Chris Olave.
