Young (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Young exited the second half of Sunday's contest due to a hamstring injury. The wide receiver is the fifth option for the Raiders offense, with sixth option Cody White recording two touchdowns Week 2. It is unclear how significant Young's injury is.

Golden caught four of six targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.

In addition to leading the team in receiving yards, Golden drew a pivotal 38-yard pass interference penalty to get the Packers out of a first-and-25 hole on a drive that culminated in a Christian Watson touchdown catch to cut the deficit to three points in the fourth quarter. Golden has been out-targeted 19-18 by Watson through two games, and both wide receivers figure to maintain prominent roles in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Eagles. Fellow Packers wideout Jayden Reed (neck) looks unlikely to suit up for that game after being carted off the field on the opening drive Sunday.

Odunze caught three of four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Vikings.

The 2024 first-round pick led all Bears wideouts in receiving yards on a wet and windy day at Soldier Field. Odunze has had a slow start to the season, managing just a 5-95-0 line on seven targets through two games, and his outlook in the short term won't be improved if the hamstring injury that knocked Caleb Williams out of Sunday's contest proves to be serious. Odunze could be catching passes from Tyson Bagent instead in a Week 3 home tilt against the Eagles.

Watson caught four of 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets.

Watson and Jordan Love struggled to get on the same page for much of the game but connected for a three-yard touchdown with 7:58 left in regulation as the Packers erased a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit. The 27-year-old wide receiver has scored three touchdowns on a team-high 19 targets through two games ahead of Thursday's home tilt against the Falcons. Watson is likely to see heavy involvement again in Week 3, especially since the Packers will probably be without fellow WR Jayden Reed (neck).

Evans sustained a hip injury during Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Evans made his 49ers debut Week 1 against the Rams in Melbourne, Australia, turning a 75 percent snap share into six catches (on seven targets) for 49 yards and one touchdown. He displayed an instant rapport with QB Brock Purdy, and Evans connected with him on all three passes directed his way for 54 yards Sunday before his exit in the fourth quarter. The 49ers lost Demarcus Robinson to an ankle injury Week 2 and kept Jordan Watkins (coach's decision) inactive, so the team's healthy and available wide receivers are Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge.

Coker brought in eight of nine targets for 66 yards and returned two punts for 49 yards in the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Coker didn't generate the splash plays that were a big part of his Week 1 body of work against the Bears, but the speedy wideout led the Panthers in receptions and finished second to Tetairoa McMillan in both receiving yards and targets. Coker averaged a modest 8.3 yards per grab on the afternoon, yet his stellar catch rate -- he's brought in 16 of 18 targets through his first two games -- and sizable role in the air attack makes him a highly appealing option in all formats heading into a Week 3 road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

Robinson (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

Robinson had to be carted off the field after sustaining a right ankle injury, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for the second half. He'll finish Sunday's game with three catches on as many targets for 34 yards, including the 19-yard reception on which he sustained the injury. Jordan Watkins (coach's decision) is inactive, so without Robinson, the 49ers have four healthy wide receivers left in Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge.

Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 20-3 loss to the Patriots.

Metcalf led the Steelers in targets again but put forth a second consecutive inefficient outing after turning 10 targets into just four catches for 40 yards in the season opener against the Falcons. Rookie second-round pick Germie Bernard led the team with 35 receiving yards Sunday in the absence of Michael Pittman (foot) as Aaron Rodgers threw for just 187 yards on 4.8 yards per pass attempt. Metcalf's heavy volume from Rodgers is encouraging, but Pittsburgh's passing game has underwhelmed as a whole heading into a Week 3 home game against the Bengals.

Robinson (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Robinson sustained the injury while hauling in a 20-yard pass from Brock Purdy in the second quarter. Robinson's injury was severe enough for him to be carted off the field and into the locker room, where he will undergo further tests to determine whether he can return to Sunday's game. Jacob Cowing and KhaDarel Hodge will take on larger roles offensively for as long as Robinson is out of the game.

Doubs caught three of four targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Doubs accounted for 96 of Drake Maye's 202 passing yards while no teammate exceeded 40 receiving yards in the absence of A.J. Brown (ankle). Most of Doubs' production came on a 63-yard catch in the third quarter, which set up a field goal. This was a nice bounce-back performance from the offseason free-agent signing after Doubs finished without a catch in his Patriots debut. Maye has a 1:4 TD:INT, so New England's passing game has been sputtering ahead of a Week 3 trip to Jacksonville.
