  • Texans' John Metchie: Inactive in Week 2

    Metchie (coach's decision) was inactive for Week 2 against the Bears.

    Metchie has not suited up for either of the Texans' first two games, as it appears the coaching staff prefers Xavier Hutchinson as the fifth wideout while allotting a spot to Steven Sims as a returner.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Texans' Robert Woods: Nine snaps in Week 2

    Woods went untargeted over nine snaps in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago in Week 2.

    For the second straight week, Woods was not targeted and saw minimal action. Through two weeks, he's played 21 snaps, the same amount as second-year wideout Xavier Hutchinson.

  • James Proche WR | TEN

    Browns' James Proche: Contributes as returner

    Proche played one snap on offense and returned three punts for 25 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.

    After beginning the season on the practice squad, Proche was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday. In addition to the punt returns, he also lined up as a kickoff returner after Pierre Strong (hamstring) left the game early in the third quarter. Strong's injury plus David Bell's hip injury could lead to a bigger role for Proche.

  • Cedric Tillman WR | CLE

    Browns' Cedric Tillman: One grab in win

    Tillman caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over Jacksonville.

    Tillman, who played 26 snaps for the second straight week, had just two of the 27 targets allocated to wideouts in the win. He's fourth on the depth chart, which means limited opportunities behind Amari Cooper (eight targets), Jerry Jeudy (six) and Elijah Moore (eight). Tillman has two receptions on three targets for five yards through two games.

  • DeAndre Carter WR | CLE

    Bears' DeAndre Carter: Four targets in defeat

    Carter caught three passes (on four targets) for 32 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Carter was been the replacement for Keenan Allen when the veteran missed snaps in Week 1, and in this game against the Texans when Allen was inactive. It's unlikely that Carter will see regular targets when Chicago's top three receivers are healthy. However, when called upon to play significant snaps, Carter may be a useful possession receiver.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Explosive in Denver offense

    Reynolds recorded four receptions on five targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Steelers.

    Reynolds led the Broncos in yards thanks to a few long receptions late in the game. He accounted for the longest play from scrimmage for either team on a trick play in the third quarter that went for 49 yards and later added a 22-yard gain in the fourth quarter -- the latter of which set up one of the team's two field goals. Reynolds has shown some rapport with Bo Nix early in the season, as he's been targeted 13 times and racked up nine receptions for 138 yards across two contests.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Scores on both receptions Sunday

    Iosivas scored a pair of short touchdowns and gained seven yards off of two receptions (four targets) in Sunday's 26-25 loss to Kansas City.

    Iosivas was used primarily as a finisher on both of Joe Burrow's touchdown drives in Sunday's narrow loss. The sophomore wideout continues to absorb Tee Higgins' (hamstring) targets while the starter mends on the sidelines. If the latter is still inactive for next Monday's tilt against Washington, then Iosivas would generate deep-league appeal in Week 3.

  • Michael Wilson WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Michael Wilson: Gains 31 yards on two catches

    Wilson pulled in both of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.

    The Cardinals led this contest comfortably from wire to wire, leaving little action for the team's No. 2 receiver. After cashing in a short touchdown on his lone reception against the Bills in Week 1, the 2023 third-round selection gave way to rookie phenom Marvin Harrison (4/130/2) on Sunday. Wilson's sporadic usage on offense limits his fantasy value to those in deep leagues heading into a Week 3 matchup against San Francisco.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | MIA

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Nabs three receptions Sunday

    Atwell had three receptions off of four targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 41-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Atwell bounced back from a no-catch performance in Week 1, finishing as the Rams' second-leading receiver following Cooper Kupp's (ankle) early departure. With the team already down Puka Nacua (knee), Atwell could find himself in an increased role for Sunday's upcoming tilt against the 49ers.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Nabs two receptions in loss

    Odunze (knee) had two receptions off of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Houston.

    Chicago's QB/WR rookie starting duo continue to struggle two weeks into the season following synchronized duds on Sunday Night Football. Odunze had an opportunity late to make a leaping touchdown grab in the red zone, but the wideout from Washington dropped a high-point pass from Caleb Williams in the first half that hit him in the hands. There will be better days ahead for the Bears' offense as a whole, but it's tough to trust a player in fantasy that has provided just three receptions (on nine targets) and no scores through two games. Odunze's next opportunity to break out will come against Indianapolis on Sunday.
