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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gould reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Gould was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs, and he failed to garner a target while returning four kickoffs for 102 yards in the contest. With Alec Pierce (heel) expected to be sidelined for several weeks, there's a good chance Gould will be elevated again ahead of the team's Week 3 matchup with the Texans.

Bond played 13 of Houston's 80 offensive snaps during Sunday's 20-6 loss versus the Bengals, and he reverted to the practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Bond saw regular-season action for his first time as a pro in Week 2, but he didn't draw any targets. The Texans are allowed to elevate him from their practice squad twice more this season before he'd have to be signed to the 53-man roster in order to suit up.
