Early Week 2 Half-PPR Wide Receiver Rankings for Fantasy Football: Zay Flowers, George Pickens, Brandon Aiyuk, Romeo Doubs, more

Brandon Aiyuk - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News

Early Week 2 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for half-PPR scoring, as of September 12, 2023. Set winning lineups with our Week 2 ranks for fantasy football and the 2023 NFL season.

Hey there, Rotoballers! We saw some surprising wide receiver performances, such as Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua hauling in 10 catches for 119 yards in the Week 1 win over the Seahawks. On the other end, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London and Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins surprisingly both put up donuts. We are onto Week 2. Below you will find out Week 2 half-PPR wide receiver rankings for fantasy football as of September 12th. Our goal, as always, is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like Zay Flowers, George Pickens, Brandon Aiyuk, Romeo Doubs, Puka Nacua, Kendrick Bourne, Rashid Shaheed, and Allen Robinson II rank, among others.

Our half-PPR fantasy football wide receiver rankings are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

You should also bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates. In addition to these half-PPR rankings, read our fantasy football articles and analysis - our NFL team discusses lineup sleepers, busts, NFL players to start and sit, waiver wire pickups, and so much more. Most importantly, our brand new free mobile app is a must-have - download it and configure your notifications. We deliver all the top NFL news, injuries, and fantasy analysis 24x7 with our free push notification alerts!
