  • Ravens' LaJohntay Wester: Catches one target in loss

    Wester caught one of his two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.

    Wester was asked to step up with wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) unavailable. The wide receiver played 31 of 58 offensive snaps but only saw two targets in the contest. Wester doesn't lack for speed, but it appears he may not be quite ready to handle a full role in the Ravens' offense.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Cooper Kupp: Gains 20 receiving yards Week 2

    Kupp caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 31-7 victory versus Arizona.

    Kupp wasn't very productive, but that was the case for all of Seattle's wideouts aside from Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who dominated with nine catches for 155 yards and one touchdown. The only other Seahawks player to log more than Kupp's two targets was Rashid Shaheed, who put up a 3-35-0 line on six targets. Through two weeks, Kupp has tallied a modest four receptions for 55 yards. With Smith-Njigba dominating the targets in Seattle's passing game, Kupp may struggle to put up consistent production this season.

  • Falcons' Zachariah Branch: Catches both targets in loss

    Branch caught both of his targets for 14 yards and returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss against the Panthers.

    Branch saw 14 offensive snaps and 11 special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver had a better Week 2 performance after not showing up in the box score for the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Steelers. Branch remains the No. 1 punt returner for the team as well as a depth option at wide receiver.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Rashid Shaheed: Three catches in blowout win

    Shaheed caught three of six targets for 35 yards while also adding a four-yard rush, 29 yards on three punt returns and two kickoff returns for 47 yards during Sunday's 31-7 win over Arizona.

    Shaheed found himself more involved as a pass catcher during Week 2, finishing second on the team in both targets and catches behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The wide receiver logged 39 snaps on offense, which was nine more than Cooper Kupp (30) in the contest. Shaheed will look to continue to establish himself as the No. 2 option at wide receiver Week 3 versus the Commanders.

  • Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Plays versatile role in loss

    Zaccheaus caught one of three targets for three yards while returning four kickoffs for 79 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Zaccheaus played 30 offensive snaps and seven special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The veteran wideout's versatility is valued, although he remains down the depth chart for the time being.

  • Jahan Dotson WR | ATL

    Falcons' Jahan Dotson: Two catches in blowout loss

    Dotson caught two of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Panthers.

    Dotson was on the field for 52 of the team's 69 offensive snaps, but it didn't really matter much as the Falcons put together another putrid offensive performance. The wide receiver will look to be more productive with Michael Penix (knee) making his return to action Thursday night against the Packers.

  • Tre Harris WR | LAC

    Chargers' Tre' Harris: Secures long catch in loss

    Harris caught one of three targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

    Harris was the Chargers' only starting wide receiver in the contest with Ladd McConkey dealing with a ribs injury. Harris played 56 of the team's 68 offensive snaps, which was more than the next closest wide receivers Quentin Johnston (55) and McConkey (31). The 24-year-old wasn't able to rack up receptions, but he did make a major splash with his one snag, connecting with Justin Herbert for a 53-yard catch and run in the third quarter. Harris now has gathered in four of nine targets for 73 yards over the team's first two games of the season.

  • Cody White WR | LV

    Raiders' Cody White: Returns to practice squad

    White reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

    White was elevated to the active roster for a second straight week and finished with 13- and 11-yard touchdown receptions in the Raiders' 26-14 victory over the Chargers on Sunday. On the heels of the two-score performance, White will likely be elevated from the practice squad again for the Raiders' Week 3 game versus the Saints.

  • Dillon Bell WR | MIN

    Dillon Bell: Reverts to Minnesota's practice squad

    Bell reverted to the Vikings' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Bell saw three snaps with the Vikings' special-teams unit in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears. The wide receiver was likely elevated as supplemental depth and was not needed for Sunday's contest. Bell can be elevated to the active roster twice more before he will need to be signed to a 53-man roster contract to suit up on game day.

  • Kevin Austin: Back to practice squad

    Austin reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Austin was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week, and he caught his only target for seven yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens. He also logged four snaps with the special-teams unit, and he can be elevated one more time before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.
