eDraft took at stab at position rankings last week, and succeeded in predicting some fine performances. For the most part, our experts were spot on. 

With one exception. 

I struggled projecting the top receivers of Week 1. That shouldn't come as much of a surprise, as both Dez Bryant and Calvin Johnson failed to make any real fantasy impact. 

We now turn our attention to Week 2, which begins tomorrow when the New York Jets travel to Gillette Stadium to take on the division-rival New England Patriots. 

Here are our projected top-five fantasy receivers for the second week of the 2013 season. 

6. DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagles

Statistics: Seven receptions, 104 yards and one touchdown (16.40 fantasy points) 

We shouldn't be too surprised that Jackson put up a solid fantasy performace in his first game under new head coach Chip Kelly. He's Philadelphia's only real outside receiving threat and was going to see a ton of targets. In fact, the nine targets that he received from quarterback Michael Vick has to be considered on the lower end of the scale compared to what we are going to see moving forward. 

Philadelphia now goes up against a San Diego Chargers pass defense that yielded 12 receptions for over 150 yards to Andre Johnson and five receptions on six targets to rookie DeAndre Hopkins on Monday Night Football against the Houston Texans. If the indicators matter at all, Jackson will have himself quite the performance in Week 2. 

Projected Statistics: Eight receptions, 117 yards and one touchdown 

4 (T). Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers

Statistics: Seven receptions, 130 yards and one touchdown (19.0 fantasy points) 

A lot was made about Nelson's injury prior to Green Bay's Week 1 outing against the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran quickly quieted skeptics and had a stellar game in what was a great matchup with Nnamdi Asomugha. He caught seven of the 10 passes thrown in his direction and finished as the eighth-ranked fantasy receiver. 

The Washington Redskins, who Nelson will be going up against this week, were absolutely torched by Philadelphia in the first half Monday night and don't have anyone to line up against Nelson on a consistent basis. Does DeAngelo Hall inspire confidence that he can be that "guy?" I didn't think so. 

Projected Statistics: Seven receptions, 135 yards and one touchdown 

4 (T). Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers

Statistics: Seven Receptions, 108 yards and one touchdown (17.40 fantasy points) 

Cobb was pretty much who we thought he'd be against San Francisco in Week 1. He lined up all over the field and was only held in check when Tarell Brown actually went up against him. Even then, Cobb was still able to make plays. He joined Nelson as one of two Green Bay 100-yard receivers against the 49ers. Don't expect that to change this upcoming week. 

Cobb will likely be lined up against Josh Wilson to start, but will see action against both Hall and David Amerson, none of whom have the capability of contatining the electric young receiver. 

Projected Statistics: Eight receptions, 135 yards and one touchdown

3. Andre Johnson, Houston Texans

Statistics: 12 receptions, 146 yards and zero touchdowns (14.60 fantasy points)

Why not? Johnson contninues to just dominate when it comes to PPR leagues. His 12-reception performance against Derek Cox might not have been too surprising, but it did go to show us that Houston's No. 1 receiver plans on remaining in that role for quite some time. The fact that Johnson caught those passes on 15 targets bodes well for him moving forward.

Houston goes up against a Tennessee Titans defense that might have held the Pittsburgh Steelers in check last week, but really doesn't have a single guy in the secondary that matches up well with Johnson. The interesting aspect here is that Houston's addition of DeAndre Hopkins may actually have a positive impact on Johnson's fantasy production. Defenses just aren't going to be able to push extra coverage to Johnson's side of the field, which will leave too many one-on-one situations to expect any sort of regression from the Pro Bowler. 

Projected Statistics: 10 receptions, 140 yards and one touchdown 

2. Julian Edelman, New England Patriots

Statistics: Seven receptions, 79 yards and two touchdowns (19.90 fantasy points) 

Wait for it... Danny Amendola is sidelined for New England's game against the New York Jets on Thursday, which means Edelman becomes a true WR1 option. He tallied two scores and ranked No. 7 among wide receivers in fantasy points last week. He did so going up against a Buffalo Bills' secondary that actually played pretty well. 

There is absolutely no reason to believe that Edelman won't be a standard and PPR league stud Week 2. He's either going to be lined up against Antonio Cromartie or Dee Milliner, with the likelihood being that he goes up against the rookie. If that happens, Edelman matches up extremely well. He has escapability and drops down well in coverage, two things that Milliner will struggle with due to shaky technique and tight hips on the outside. Look for a ton of targets and receptions here. 

Projected Statistics: 11 receptions, 135 yards and one touchdown 

1. Demaryius Thomas, Denver Broncos

Statistics: Five receptions, 161 yards and two touchdowns (28.10 fantasy points) 

It took until the second half for Thomas to get started on opening night. Before that, Peyton Manning was connecting with Julius Thomas and Wes Welker early on. Despite this, Thomas was still able to finish Week 1 as the third-ranked fantasy receiver. This is pretty solid considering that he was targeted less times than Welker, who finished 11th in the very same category. 

We can expect more targets for Thomas this week against a lackluster New York Giants defense, which bodes well for his fantasy production. Look for Thomas to go up against Corey Webster a majority of the time. It doesn't take an expert to draw the conclusion that he has the upper hand in this one.

Projected Statistics: Eight receptions, 125 yards and two touchdowns
