  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Minimal run in Week 2

    Moore logged just five snaps in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Moore played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, ranking fifth among wideouts in the category. The third-year wideout has clearly fallen behind in the pecking order for playing time at this point and is best left on the waiver wire in nearly all formats, barring multiple injuries at the position that would open up playing time.

  • Chiefs' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Comes up empty versus Bengals

    Smith-Schuster wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Smith-Schuster only played 13 offensive snaps (20 percent) in the contest, sitting fourth among wideouts in snap share behind Rashee Rice (83 percent), Xavier Worthy (68 percent) and Justin Watson (45 percent). The veteran has yet to reel in a pass this year and has just one target to his name through two games, so he's on the outside looking in from a fantasy standpoint unless injuries pop up to others at the position.

  • Falcons' Ray-Ray McCloud: Secures three receptions in win

    McCloud caught three of five targets for 42 yards during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles. He also rushed once for three yards.

    After leading the Falcons in targets while playing only 48 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1, McCloud played every offensive snap during Monday Night Football. He finished third on the team in receiving yards behind Darnell Mooney (3-88-1) and Drake London (6-54-1). McCloud was also called for an unnecessary roughness penalty after one of his catches in the second quarter, but that didn't impact his role in the second half. While his production and playing time to start the campaign are encouraging, it remains unclear how many viable fantasy wideouts the Falcons' new-look offense can sustain, especially if tight end Kyle Pitts gets going.

  • Dyami Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Dyami Brown: Targeted four times in Week 2

    Brown secured two of his four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Brown saw his offensive snap percentage increase in Week 2, playing 69 percent of snaps against the Giants after playing 55 percent of snaps in Week 1. The fourth-year wideout's four targets were also an improvement after he didn't see a single target in the Commanders' debut. Brown has the potential to develop into a key player in Washington's passing attack, as fellow receivers Luke McCaffrey, Olamide Zaccheaus and Noah Brown don't present much of a road block to increased involvement. The 24-year-old will look to take the next step to establish his role in the offense when the Commanders visit the Bengals in Week 3.

  • Jalen Brooks WR | ARI

    Cowboys' Jalen Brooks: One grab against New Orleans

    Brooks caught one of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.

    The second-year wideout has caught exactly one pass in each of the Cowboys' first two games this season. While he's holding down a steady role in the offense, Brooks isn't likely to see significant volume as long as CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and Jalen Tolbert are all healthy.

  • Noah Brown WR | WAS

    Commanders' Noah Brown: Three grabs in win

    Brown caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Brown's 20 offensive snaps were the fewest of any Commander's wide receiver Sunday, however, he paced the group with 56 yards in the contest. The veteran wideout was a healthy inactive in Week 1, but his performance against the Giants could help him earn a more prominent role going forward. Brown is currently completing with Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and Olamide Zaccheaus for playing time, so he has an uphill battle to see consistent usage in Washington's passing game. The 28-year-old will have his next opportunity to prove himself in a Week 3 matchup with the Bengals.

  • Commanders' Olamide Zaccheaus: Three catches in Week 2

    Zaccheaus secured all three of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Operating as the Commanders' fourth receiver, Zaccheaus played 24 of 72 offensive snaps Sunday. The veteran wideout saw three targets for the second-straight week as rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels finds his footing within Washington's passing attack. Zaccheaus' minimal production and spot on the depth chart, however, make him a difficult to trust for fantasy purposes going forward, barring injuries to Terry McLaurin, Luke McCaffrey or Dyami Brown. The Commanders square off against the Bengals in Week 3.

  • Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS

    Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not targeted against Giants

    McCaffrey failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Giants.

    Despite playing a healthy 56 percent of offensive snaps Sunday, McCaffrey was not involved in the passing game on a day in which Jayden Daniels attempted 29 passes. The rookie wideout figures to see his usage fluctuate in Washington's offense as the passing attack gets things figured out with a rookie signal caller at the helm. With that said, McCaffrey should continue to develop alongside Daniels toward a stronger connection as the season progresses. Fantasy managers hoping for a quick breakout for the 23-year-old receiver should exercise patience. McCaffrey will look to take a step forward in Week 3 when the Commanders visit the Bengals.

  • Justin Watson WR | HOU

    Chiefs' Justin Watson: Tallies pair of grabs in Week 2

    Watson hauled in both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 26-25 win over the Bengals.

    Watson made the most of his limited opportunities and has reeled in each of the three passes thrown his way through two games. That said, he played less than half the offensive snaps (45 percent) in Sunday's contest and has just three targets through two games. As has been the case for Watson in recent seasons, the wideout seems slated to play a regular role that doesn't figure to amount to fantasy relevance in most league formats.

  • Brandin Cooks WR | BUF

    Cowboys' Brandin Cooks: Quiet in Week 2 loss

    Cooks caught both his targets for 19 yards and lost three yards on one carry in Sunday's 44-19 loss to the Saints.

    The Cowboys were down 35-16 heading into halftime, but Cooks still didn't see much volume as the team tried desperately to catch up in the second half. Instead, it was Jalen Tolbert who stepped up with a 6-82-0 line on nine targets. Cooks did score a TD in Dallas' opener, but otherwise he hasn't been able to make much of an impact, and if Tolbert continues to impress, he could pass the veteran on the depth chart. Cooks will try to break out Week 3 against a Ravens secondary that ranks in the bottom 10 in catches allowed to wideouts so far.
