Week Two of the National Football League season has come and gone. Meaning that fantasy team owners are searching the waiver wire for upcoming talent to bolster their rosters.

So, here are some rising fantasy players that owners should keep an eye on:

Kansas City Chief tight end Travis Kelce.

Kelce saw more action during Week Two against the Broncos. He played 32 of 86 snaps and caught four passes for 81 yards. The Chiefs will be looking for new talent to step up with Jamaal Charles out indefinitely.

Washington Redskins tight end Niles Paul.

Paul replaced an injured Jordan Reed Sunday and finished the game with eight catches for 99 yards and a touchdown. With Robert Griffin III out, Paul should receive more opportunities from Kirk Cousins. Look for this tandem to produce big stats with Reed out for a few weeks.

Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins.

Cousins took over for an injured Griffin and proceeded to throw for 250 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. Owned in eight percent of leagues, Cousins has great upside. He is a good fit for Jay Gruden’s system and should look to continue to put up big numbers. Next week he faces a reeling New York Giants team, so now would be a great time to pick him up. Just be wary, his next two games are against the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.

Buffalo Bills QB EJ Manuel.

Also owned in just eight percent of leagues, Manuel has led the Bills to a 2-0 record. During those win, his Bills have scored 23 points or more. With the addition of Sammy Watkins, Manuel has run less this year, meaning that more teams will start to respect the pass, which will open running lanes for Manuel, who has great speed. The Bills face the San Diego Chargers in Week Three, so look for Manuel to have another positive outing.

Cleveland Browns WR Andrew Hawkins

If you haven’t already heard, the Browns’ No. 1 receiver Josh Gordon was suspended for 10 games. Opening the door for a new No. 1. And that is Hawkins, who through two games has 14 catches for 157 yards. He sees plenty of looks playing in the slot and is quick in the open field.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Mohamed Sanu

With A.J. Green expected to miss at least a game, Sanu has risen to the top of the depth chart for the Bengals. He recorded three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown in Week Three. Look for him as a short substitute for your No. 2 or 3 receiver.

Kansas City Chiefs RB Knile Davis

With Jamaal Charles down, Davis stepped up for the Chiefs, chalking up 105 yards from scrimmage with six catches and two touchdowns against a much-improved Denver Broncos defense.

San Diego Chargers RB Donald Brown

Since Ryan Mathews went down and is expected to miss a month, Brown brings his similar skill set to Mathews for a control-the-tempo type of offense that the Chargers utilize. He should get the ball close to 15 times a game, and the Chargers dropped 30 points on Seattle.
