Week 2 Waiver Wire: Breakout Fantasy Football Pickups After Opening Sunday

Related Topics: Austin Hooper, Tight end

It was a wild start to the 2017 fantasy football season in Week 1, as plenty of NFL players came out of nowhere to contribute in a big way for their teams.

There was the Falcons' Austin Hooper pulling in an 88-yard touchdown reception. On Thursday Night Football, Alex Smith came out of nowhere and established himself as a deep-threat quarterback. And if you hadn't heard the name Tarik Cohen before Sunday, you sure are going to hear it a lot now.

Luckily for fantasy owners, some shrewd moves on the waiver wire this week can allow those players to come up big for your team, too.
