#3 Drake London

Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London had his breakout during their narrow loss to the Super Bowl champs Los Angeles Rams.

London has already established himself as Marcus Mariota's favorite target. He ended the game with eight catches on 11 targets, along with 86 yards and a touchdown. London should continue to see plenty of passes in a below-average receiver group, and he'll easily have his first 100-yard game soon.

#2 Devin Lloyd

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Devin Lloyd was mightily impressive in the team's 24-0 shutout victory over division rivals the Indianapolis Colts. Lloyd ended the game with two pass breakups and an interception.

He also allowed just three catches on five targets for 18 yards, and came out with an 87.1 rating from PFF. This ranks him top among all rookies in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season, but he just misses out on our top spot.

#1 Garrett Wilson

The New York Jets shocked the world with their late comeback victory over the Cleveland Browns, and rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson stole the show. Wilson ended the game with eight catches on 14 targets, to go with 102 yards and two touchdown catches.

He's already established himself as a possible WR1 for New York, something he'll look to build upon when Zach Wilson returns from injury.
