Jeudy recorded five receptions on six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 18-13 win over the Jaguars.

Jeudy remained a primary target in the Cleveland offense and led the team in receiving yards. He did the majority of his damage on a pair of catches that went for 30 and 21 yards, respectively. Even in a shaky passing offense, it's clear that the Browns have prioritized getting Jeudy involved, and he's surprisingly been more productive than Amari Cooper in the early going.

Lockett totaled 15 yards on two receptions (two targets) in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win versus the Patriots.

Lockett was seemingly left out of the gameplan while DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 246 yards on 30 targets. There's no doubt Lockett still has a role in this offense, especially considering how he paced the team with 77 receiving yards in the opener. However, Smith-Njigba's emergence in Week 2 has Lockett trending toward the No. 3 wideout role.

Kirk recorded one catch on three targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.

Kirk was targeted less than Gabe Davis, Brenton Strange and Brian Thomas, and he now has only two receptions for 29 yards through two games. His slow start can be blamed at least in part on Jacksonville's sluggish offensive performances, as the team mustered only 81 yards in the first half and was then reliant on deep shots to move the ball in the second quarter. Kirk has played a key role for the Jaguars' offense in each of the last two years, so it would be a surprise to not see him bounce back, though he will be tough to trust heading into a Week 3 matchup against Buffalo.

Chase was limited to four receptions (five targets) for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Chase was constantly bracketed by safety help all game long with Tee Higgins (hamstring) remaining sidelined due to injury. The Bengals' offense sputtered against a challenging defensive unit Sunday, but Chase's fantasy managers should not get any crazy ideas when setting lineups for the upcoming slate of games in Week 3. There is a good chance that the superstar wideout finally breaks out against a younger Washington defensive unit on Monday Night Football.

Thomas recorded two receptions on four targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.

Gabe Davis and Brenton Strange surprisingly led the Jaguars in targets, but Thomas made the most of his two catches to lead the team in yardage. He recorded two of the team's four longest gains from scrimmage, first with a 66-yard catch late in the third quarter. Thomas followed that up with a 28-yard reception to set Jacksonville up with a chance to win the game in the final seconds. Thomas has seen four targets in each of his first two games. That's modest volume, though he's already clearly displayed his big-play ability and can rack up fantasy points even with limited opportunity.

Harrison turned four receptions (eight targets) into 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.

Harrison delivered what fantasy managers had envisioned when drafting the 2024 fourth-overall selection in drafts this season. The son of Indianapolis Colts' legend Marvin Harrison Sr. put up numbers his father would have been proud of in his heyday. In fact, his 130 yards in just the first quarter today was more receiving yardage than his father had in any GAME during his rookie season. Harrison was a ghost in his pro debut against the Bills in Week 1, but this standout fantasy performance should have his managers stoked heading into Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

Smith-Njigba recorded 12 receptions on 16 targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime win over the Patriots.

The Seahawks showed more aggression through the air than in Week 1, and targets condensed around Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf. Metcalf stole the headlines with a 56-yard touchdown catch, but Smith-Njigba emerged as Geno Smith's favorite target in all areas of the field throughout the day. As a result, he was able to tally receptions of 24, 19, 16 and 14 yards to record the first 100-yard game of his career. The Seahawks' offensive strategy is likely to vary from week to week, but Smith-Njigba has gained the trust of Smith and will be a key part of the team's passing attack.

Watson wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-10 win versus the Colts.

The Packers offense was without Jordan Love (knee) for the first of potentially multiple games, so there were bound to be significant changes to the breakdown of touches with Malik Willis leading the way. However, Watson wasn't on the receiving end of any of Willis' 14 passes, and none of the team's 53 carries were allotted to him, while fellow WRs Jayden Reed and even Bo Melton were a part of the rushing attack with two apiece. As for the passing game, WRs Dontayvion Wicks (four), Romeo Doubs (three) and Reed (two) and TE Tucker Kraft (two) were the only pass catchers to record multiple targets. Such game plans may be the norm for Green Bay for as long as Love is sidelined, meaning Watson will be difficult to trust next Sunday at Tennessee.

McConkey hauled in two of four passes for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win in Carolina.

Afforded seven targets Week 1 against the Raiders, McConkey cashed in one of them for a 10-yard TD en route to a 5-39-1 performance in his pro debut. The rookie second-round pick wasn't able to do much with his quartet of looks from QB Justin Herbert this time around, though, finishing with a meager overall receiving line while fellow WR Quentin Johnston (5-51-2 on six targets) paced Chargers pass catchers this weekend. McConkey will have a tough task on his hands next Sunday on the road versus a staunch Steelers defense.

Meyers notched four catches (on five targets) for 29 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win at Baltimore.

Meyers made the most of his three targets in a season-opening loss to the Chargers, pacing the Raiders with 61 yards on three receptions. In Week 2, though, he took a back seat to No. 1 WR Davante Adams (9-110-1 on 12 targets) and rookie TE Brock Bowers (9-98-0 on nine targets), which likely will be the case most games for Las Vegas in 2024. Meyers' next opportunity to make a mark comes next Sunday against the Panthers.
