  • Mason Tipton WR | NO

    Saints' Mason Tipton: Zero targets Week 2

    Tipton logged zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Tipton played exactly 15 offensive snaps for the second game in a row. He still saw the third-most playing time of any New Orleans wideout behind Chris Olave (42) and Rashid Shaheed (39). However, there weren't many opportunities to go around in the receiving game, as the Saints logged 39 rushing attempts across 56 total offensive plays. Tipton could see an immediate uptick in production if either Olave or Shaheed miss time moving forward, though he doesn't have much, if any, fantasy value otherwise.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Titans' Tyler Boyd: Held to two catches

    Boyd recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 26 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Jets.

    Boyd was on the field for the second-most snaps among the Titans' receiving corps as DeAndre Hopkins continues to ramp up from a knee injury. Boyd's time on the field hasn't translated to production, however, as he has just five catches for 44 yards combined across his first two games with Tennessee.

  • Saints' Cedrick Wilson: Sees fewer snaps Week 2

    Wilson accrued zero targets during Sunday's 44-19 win versus the Cowboys.

    Wilson once again made his biggest impact on special teams. Though he played the fourth-most offensive snaps of any Saints' wideout Sunday, the 28-year-old logged eight of his 20 snaps on special teams. Wilson also momentarily exited to the locker room with an injury, but he returned for the Saints' opening kickoff of the second half, according to Ross Jackson of WWL Louisiana. With zero targets through two games, it's unlikely that Wilson will offer any worthwhile fantasy value this season -- barring any injuries to top wideouts Rashid Shaheed and/or Chris Olave.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Snares two passes

    Bobo hauled in two passes (two targets) for 15 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

    Bobo played 21 percent of the offensive snaps, ranking fourth in the Seahawks' pecking order. He'll likely have a suppressed role as long as DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Tyler Lockett are healthy.

  • A.J. Brown WR | PHI

    Eagles' A.J. Brown: Expects to miss couple of weeks

    Brown told Lisa Salters of ESPN on Monday that he expects to miss a couple of weeks due to the hamstring injury he suffered at Friday's practice.

    Brown is active for Monday's game against the Falcons, and the wideout already appears resigned to missing the Eagles' Week 3 game Sunday in New Orleans, as well. The Eagles haven't confirmed a recovery timeline for Brown, but the team will likely be motivated to err on the side of caution and hold him out until he's no longer at risk of returning prematurely and aggravating the hamstring injury. Assuming he does miss more time, wideouts DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert should be the prime beneficiaries in terms of targets.

  • Tim Patrick WR | NYJ

    Lions' Tim Patrick: Heads back to practice squad

    Patrick reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers marked Patrick's first game action since Jan. 8, 2022. Since then, he endured back-to-back season-ending injuries that wiped away the 2022 and 2023 campaigns entirely. Patrick played a modest 39 percent snap share and turned it into two catches (on three targets) for 12 yards, a workload that he may be able to sustain in the short term with WRs Amon-Ra St. Brown (lower leg) and Isaiah Williams (abdomen) tending to injuries at the moment.

  • Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Goes back to practice squad

    Humphrey reverted to the Broncos' practice squad Monday.

    Like he was before the Broncos' season-opening loss at Seattle, Humphrey was elevated prior to the team's Week 2 game, but he played a far bigger role. His snap share increased from 30 to 77 percent, and he hauled in four of five targets for 50 yards as a result. The increased workload for Humphrey may have been spurred by the absence of rookie wideout Devaughn Vele (ribs), but in any case the former seems poised to be a regular in three-receiver sets along with Courtland Sutton and Josh Reynolds for as long as Vele is sidelined.

  • Tom Kennedy WR | DET

    Tom Kennedy: Reverts to practice squad

    Kennedy reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Kennedy played five offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-16 loss versus the Buccaneers, and he failed to bring in his first target of the season. The Lions will be able to call him back up from the practice squad once more this year before they'd have to add him to the 53-man roster in order for him to be available.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Ben Skowronek: Back to practice squad

    Skowronek reverted to the Steelers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Skowronek was elevated to the active roster for the second consecutive week to kick off the season. The depth receiver saw the field for six of 66 offensive snaps, as well as 12 on special teams. Skowronek did not draw any targets, however, but he was credited with one tackle.

  • Collin Johnson: Heads back to practice squad

    Johnson reverted to Chicago's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Johnson played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 19-13 loss at Houston. His prospects of suiting up again in Week 3 might hinge on whether or not Keenan Allen (heel) is available.
