Douglas caught one of two targets for nine yards Sunday in a 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Douglas not only posted an unimpactful stat line, he also was on the field for only 47 percent of New England's offensive snaps after logging a a 62 percent snap share Week 1. Both Mack Hollins (71 percent) and Romeo Doubs (67 percent) recorded a significantly higher offensive snap share Week 2, though Douglas remained ahead of Kyle Williams (20 percent) and Efton Chism (18 percent). With only six catches (on nine targets) for 29 yards through two contests, Douglas has yet to give fantasy managers any confidence in deploying him in lineups.

Jeudy failed to haul in his lone target during the Browns' 23-19 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Jeudy couldn't improve on his 2-26-0 line (on four targets) during the Browns' Week 1 loss to the Jaguars. The seventh-year pro played 34 of 58 offensive snaps Sunday (58.6 percent), which was third most among Cleveland wide receivers behind rookies Denzel Boston (54) and KC Concepcion (38). Jeudy finished the 2025 regular season with the second-most receiving yards on the Browns, but it appears Boston, Concepcion, tight end Harold Fannin and even running back Quinshon Judkins are the preferred targets for Deshaun Watson to open the season. Jeudy will look for better results in Cleveland's home opener against Carolina on Sept. 27.

Williams caught all six of his targets for 34 yards and added a 14-yard carry during the Jets' 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also returned three punts for two yards and five kickoffs for 124 yards.

Williams saw minimal action during the Jets' Week 1 win over the Titans, but his usage on both offense and special teams jumped significantly in Week 2 due to the absences of Kene Nwangwu (back) and Omar Cooper (ankle, IR). Williams ended up playing 61 of 74 offensive snaps (82.4 percent), tied with Adonai Mitchell for second-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (65 snaps), and Williams' six catches were a career high. Williams drew a lot of praise from the Jets' coaching staff during training camp, and it appears the third-year pro will operate in a key role on offense while contributing on special teams as a returner. Up next for the Jets is a Week 3 road tilt against the Lions, whose defense has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers through the first two games of the 2026 regular season.

Hollins caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-3 victory over Pittsburgh.

After leading the Patriots with 51 receiving yards on four catches in the team's season opener, Hollins had a more subdued performance versus the Steelers. The veteran wideout was nonetheless on the field often, logging 39 of New England's 55 offensive snaps -- most among the club's wideouts (Romeo Doubs was second with 37 offensive snaps). Although Doubs and DeMario Douglas were listed as the Patriots' starting wideouts, Douglas logged just 26 offensive snaps, so Hollins may have at least temporarily leapfrogged him in the pecking order.

With Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Mumpfield is expected to serve as the Rams' WR2 behind Davante Adams against the Giants on Monday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Jordan Whittington (quadriceps) is also inactive, so Mumpfield is expected to take on a larger role on offense for Monday's game, though the Rams will also likely lean more heavily on tight ends Colby Parkinson, Tyler Higbee and Terrance Ferguson in 13-man personnel. Mumpfield failed to haul in his lone target while logging 16 offensive snaps during the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers.

Melton (neck) was a full participant in Monday's estimated practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Melton exited last Sunday's overtime win over the Jets early with a stinger. The kick returner is expected to be all set to practice at full capacity Tuesday as the team prepares for Thursday's primetime game against the Falcons.

Adams will serve as the Rams' No. 1 WR on Monday versus the Giants with Puka Nacua (hip) inactive, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

Nacua showed up on the Rams' injury report Friday as a non-participant due to a hip injury and sat out again Saturday before the team termed him questionable for Week 2 action. He began trending the wrong way to play as the weekend went on, though, and now that Nacua is officially out, Adams should have unfettered access to passes from QB Matthew Stafford on Monday. In the one game in which Nacua missed last season (Week 7 at Jacksonville), Adams took full advantage of his eight targets, turning them into five catches for 35 yards and three touchdowns.

Whittington (quadriceps) is inactive for Monday's game against the Giants.

Whittington drew the doubtful tag for MNF after missing practice all week due to a quad injury he sustained in the Rams' Week 1 loss to the 49ers. He'll join fellow wide receiver Puka Nacua (hip) in street clothes, and the duo will aim to be available for Week 3 against the Broncos on Sept. 27. The Rams will have four active wide receivers in Davante Adams, Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell for Monday's game.

Nacua (hip) is listed as inactive Monday against the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Nacua didn't practice Friday or Saturday due to what officially was listed as a hip issue on the Rams' injury report, but head coach Sean McVay termed the concern "soreness in his groin" Saturday that wasn't related to the psoas discomfort that he dealt with during training camp. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Nacua would be a "pre-game decision" before relaying Monday that the wide receiver was "trending the wrong way" to play. Now that Nacua's inactive status is confirmed -- along with Jordan Whittington's (quadriceps) -- Davante Adams will be the team's featured WR in Week 2, with Konata Mumpfield, Xavier Smith and Tutu Atwell also on hand for reps. Nacua's next chance for game action is this coming Sunday at Denver.

Wilson caught five of six targets for 28 yards during the Steelers' 20-3 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Wilson stepped into the WR2 role alongside DK Metcalf for Sunday's game due to the absence of Michael Pittman (foot). Wilson responded by leading all Pittsburgh pass catchers in receptions, though he averaged only 5.6 yards per catch in a game where Aaron Rodgers averaged only 4.8 yards per pass attempt. Wilson played 55 of 70 offensive snaps in Week 2, which was tied with rookie second-rounder Germie Bernard for second-most among Steelers wide receivers behind DK Metcalf (68). The Steelers will return home for a Week 3 clash against the Bengals, and Wilson and Bernard would both retain their elevated roles if Pittman is not cleared to return.
