Parris Campbell Week 2 Outlook - Rams at Eagles

If you read my rankings before the season, or even my Weekend Waiver Wire Stashes piece that comes out on Saturday mornings, you would've had Campbell rostered without spending any FAB budget or priority. He saw nine targets in his first game with Philip Rivers, snatching six of them for 71 yards, and he may have had the toughest WR/CB matchup. The Vikings are apparently still trying to figure out how to align their cornerbacks because none of them played a slot-specific role in Week 1, which is likely what led to the Packers having three top-15 wide receivers on the week. It's worth noting that Packers receivers caught 5-of-5 balls for 70 yards and a touchdown while playing in the slot last week, which bodes well for Campbell seeing as he ran 95 percent of his routes from the slot. There's some risk, sure, but Campbell is moving up the ladder and should be in the WR4 conversation. If he sees six-plus targets again, I could be too low on him.
