  • Buccaneers' Jalen McMillan: Solid gain on one catch

    McMillan brought in one of two targets for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    The rookie once again managed a 20-plus yard gain on his one reception after recording a 32-yard touchdown grab in Week 1. McMillan logged 37 snaps from scrimmage overall, significantly outpacing Trey Palmer, who was in on just nine plays on offense. McMillan still has plenty of chemistry to develop with Baker Mayfield, but he already seems to have a firm grasp on the No. 3 receiver role and has no shortage of field-stretching ability.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Sees role expand

    Whittington secured both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    A week removed from being on the field for just two snaps on offense, the sixth-round rookie out of Texas was on the field for 26 against Arizona. Whittington managed to turn a short pass from Matthew Stafford into a big 22-yard gain in the third quarter and was on the field for significantly more plays than fellow backup Tutu Atwell, who saw just 10 snaps on offense. With Cooper Kupp (ankle) possibly missing time and Puka Nacua (knee) still on IR, Whittington may get an opportunity to shine with the Rams' receiving corps down to just four healthy players (Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Whittington and Atwell) on the 53-man roster at the moment.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | DAL

    Rams' Tyler Johnson: Makes pair of catches

    Johnson secured two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    While Johnson's stats dipped after a strong Week 1 performance (five receptions, 79 yards), Cooper Kupp (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot after the game. With Puka Nacua (knee) already on injured reserve, Johnson, along with Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell, now are the only healthy receivers currently rostered by the Rams. If Kupp were to miss time, Robinson and Johnson would likely take over as the top two receivers given their usage through the first two contests, with Whittington and Atwell the next men up.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Just one reception in loss

    Dulin had one reception for 13 yards on two targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay.

    Dulin played on 24 of the offense's 56 snaps as he got time as the fourth receiver with Josh Downs (ankle) out. Dulin's role on offense could be reduced if Downs is able to return against Chicago in Week 3. Dulin remains a key player on special teams, however.

  • Eagles' Parris Campbell: Joins Philly's active roster

    Campbell was elevated to the Eagles' active roster from their practice squad Monday, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

    Campbell's addition to the Eagles' active roster comes as no surprise, as the 27-year-old will provide depth in the team's wide receiver room with A.J. Brown (hamstring) and potentially Johnny Wilson (hamstring) missing Monday night's contest. Campbell doesn't project to see much work in Week 2, but he could see limited offensive and special-teams action.

  • Colts' Adonai Mitchell: Just one reception in loss

    Mitchell had one reception for 30 yards on four targets in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay.

    Mitchell showed promise in the season opener when he was wide open for two possible touchdowns, but Anthony Richardson overthrew him. Mitchell worked as the No. 3 receiver and started in the slot again, but he could have a smaller role when Josh Downs (ankle) returns, possibly as soon as Week 3.

  • Brandon Powell WR | MIN

    Vikings' Brandon Powell: Two receptions as No. 3 WR

    Powell had two receptions for 16 yards on two targets in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He also had one punt return for 10 yards.

    Powell worked as the third receiver with Jalen Nailor starting opposite Justin Jefferson with Jordan Addison (ankle) sidelined. Powell could move into the starting lineup if both Addison and Justin Jefferson (quad) are sidelined Week 3 against Houston.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Targeted three times Sunday

    Agholor had a 13-yard reception on three targets in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.

    The veteran saw his snap share jump from 35 percent to 54 percent in Sunday's game. However, Agholor's actual involvement in the passing game was minimal, as he drew three targets on 35 snaps. Agholor will be on the field when the Ravens deploy three-receiver sets, but he is far down the pecking order in terms of targets.

  • Rashod Bateman WR | BAL

    Ravens' Rashod Bateman: Makes three grabs Sunday

    Bateman had three catches for 40 yards on four targets in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Raiders.

    Bateman has nwo played over 80 percent of the snaps in the Ravens' first two games of the season and has drawn at least four targets in both outings. He is up to seven catches for 93 yards on nine targets, good for a 10.3 YPT. Baltimore has the sixth-most pass attempts in the league through two weeks, and with Bateman's lofty snap share, he could start to capitalize on his opportunities soon.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Making progress

    Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Higgins (hamstring) is moving in a positive direction for Week 3 and could benefit from the extra day of rest to prepare for Monday Night Football versus the Commanders, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Higgins has missed two consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, and his last practice session was Thursday of Week 1. Andrei Iosivas scored twice Week 2 in Higgins' absence and has emerged as an option in the Bengals' receiving corps behind Ja'Marr Chase. The Bengals' first official injury report of Week 3 won't arrive until Thursday, so fantasy managers aren't guaranteed another update on Higgins' health until then.
