Melton had two carries for eight yards in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.

The wideout has not been targeted through two weeks, but he did record his first two touches of the season Sunday, with one carry going for 16 yards and the other resulting in an eight-yard loss. He remains the fifth option at his position on the depth chart.

Conley brought in his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings.

Conley could have served as San Francisco's slot receiver had Jauan Jennings (ankle) been unable to suit up, which would have given the veteran backup some deep-league appeal. With Jennings receiving clearance to play late in the week, Conley reverted to his usual role as No. 4 wideout and special teams contributor on 22 snaps played (nine on offense). The same should be expected from the 32-year-old when the 49ers visit the Rams on Sunday.

Wicks was targeted four times and caught three passes for 26 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 victory over the Colts.

Wicks was held without a reception Week 1, but it did not take him long to make a mark Week 2, as he hauled in a touchdown pass from Malik Willis in the first quarter of Sunday's contest. Wicks finished fourth among Packers receivers in snaps for the second time as many weeks, but the snap distribution was more spread out among the top five wideouts than it was in the opener. Whether that's because Willis was under center rather than Jordan Love is not evident, so while things look better for Wicks than they did after one contest, his stock has seemingly not been altered significantly.

Jennings (ankle) had two receptions (on four targets) for 37 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to Minnesota.

Jennings carried a questionable tag through the practice week after picking up an ankle injury Week 1 against the Jets. The veteran slot receiver was cleared from the injury report prior to kickoff, producing a stereotypical receiving line for those in deep leagues. A healthy Jennings should make for a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option against the Rams on Sunday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Kupp (ankle) is expected to be out for "an extended period of time" and could land on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kupp sprained his left ankle during Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and is now in line to miss some time. With Puka Nacua (knee) already on IR, the Rams' top healthy options at wideout are currently Demarcus Robinson, Tyler Johnson, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington. A move to IR would force Kupp to miss at least four games, but the Rams have yet to make the transaction official and may instead prefer to take a week-to-week approach with the star wideout.

Washington failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.

The rookie sixth-round pick played 13 of 60 offensive snaps as he once again operated as the Jaguars' No. 4 wide receiver. Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas continue to dominate the snaps at wideout for Jacksonville, and Washington is unlikely to have much involvement in the offensive while that trio remains healthy.

Gould did not have a reception or target in Sunday's 16-10 loss at Green Bay. He played just one snap on offense.

After an impressive preseason, Gould has had a minimal role on offense with just 17 snaps played in two games and no targets. He's mostly being used as a kick returner on special teams, but the Colts did not return a kickoff against the Packers.

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.

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.

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.
