Williams caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Despite A.J. Brown (ankle) missing his first game after going down in Week 1 against Seattle, Williams played just 20 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps against Pittsburgh. He operated as the fourth receiver, well behind Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs and slot man DeMario Douglas. Williams doesn't hold much fantasy value in redraft formats.

Noel caught one pass on five targets for 31 yards and added a 13-yard carry during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also returned three punts for 32 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards.

The second-year wideout saw a bump in offensive snaps due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), with Noel's 48 snaps ranking third-most among Houston WRs behind Xavier Hutchinson (65) and Kayshon Boutte (58). Noel's offensive production didn't match his increased playing time, but he should continue to operate in an elevated role on offense while still handling primary return duties if Collins is ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts.

Lance caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 victory against Baltimore.

Lance was on the field for 54 of New Orleans' 68 offensive snaps, but he had only one pass thrown his way by Tyler Shough. Chris Olave (10 targets) and Devaughn Vele (seven) got 17 of the Saints' 19 total wideout targets, so Lance wasn't alone in having a quiet day among the team's complementary options. Barion Brown logged just two offensive snaps Sunday and Kevin Austin notched five, so Lance seems to be clearly ahead of both in the pecking order.

Legette caught two passes on four targets for 64 yards during the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Legette was held without a catch in a Week 1 loss to the Bears, when he saw only two targets. His targets in Week 2 doubled, and he split the Falcons' secondary to connect on a deep ball from Bryce Young for a 55-yard gain late in the second quarter, which set up a Darren Waller touchdown three plays later. That 55-yard catch was the longest of Legette's three-year NFL career and his first reception of 40-plus yards. He'll operate as the Panthers' WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker heading into a Week 3 road tilt against the Browns.

Wayne caught two of his seven targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

Wayne garnered plenty of C.J. Stroud's attention due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver saw the third-most targets for the Texans behind Dalton Schultz and Xavier Hutchinson, but he wasn't efficient with them while playing on 40 of the team's 80 offensive snaps in the contest.

Moore caught two of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime win versus the Jets.

Moore logged just four snaps in the 39-22 loss to the Vikings in Week 1, though it was a different story in Week 2, with the wideout appearing in 21 of the Packers' 59 offensive snaps against the Jets, finishing behind Christian Watson (53) and Matthew Golden (51) after Jayden Reed (back) lasted just two offensive plays. However, despite the increased workload, Moore didn't do anything meaningful for fantasy managers. That's not expected to change anytime soon, even if Watson or Golden aren't available at some point moving ahead.

Horton played 22 of the Seahawks' 70 offensive snaps and did not show up in the box score otherwise during Sunday's 31-7 win over the Cardinals.

Horton made his 2026 regular-season debut Sunday after being a healthy scratch for the Seahawks' Week 1 win over the Patriots. The second-year pro didn't end up seeing a target from Drew Lock, and Horton's offensive production will continue to be limited while working behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, Cooper Kupp and tight end AJ Barner in the passing game. The Seahawks will look to stay undefeated in a Week 3 road tilt against the Commanders on Sunday.

Allen logged three offensive snaps and three special-teams snaps in Sunday's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.

Allen struggled to get on the field despite being listed as the Chiefs' No. 4 wide receiver. The Chiefs are utilizing more 12-personnel packages with Travis Kelce and Noah Gray as it leans into a revamped ground attack spearheaded by reigning Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker. That's led to sparse opportunities for Allen through two games, though he could be featured more as the season continues.

Smith did not catch his only target during Monday's 28-6 win versus the Giants, but he recorded four punt returns for 32 yards and two kickoff returns for 29 yards.

With usual lead target Puka Nacua (groin) out, Smith was actually the Rams' third option at wide receiver in Week 2 in terms of offensive snaps (25) behind 2025 seventh-rounder Konata Mumpfield (42) and veteran Davante Adams (38), but Adams was the only Rams wideout who saw more than two targets. Smith remained heavily involved on special teams, however, and that will probably continue to be his primary function as long as one of Nacua or Adams is in pads.

Atwell caught one of two targets for 19 yards during Monday night's 28-6 win over the Giants.

Atwell remained an afterthought in the offense, even with Puka Nacua (hip) unavailable, and only played 11 of the team's 62 offensive snaps. He ranked behind Konata Mumpfield (43), Davante Adams (40) and Xavier Smith (26) at wide receiver in offensive snaps, and even if Nacua remains inactive for a Week 3 tilt versus Denver, Atwell will have limited appeal.
