Tylan Wallace WR | CLE
Ravens' Tylan Wallace: Limited to special teams thus far
Wallace played one snap on offense in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals and went without a target.
After making the Ravens' 53-man roster coming out of the preseason, Wallace has dressed for both of Baltimore's first two contests, but all but one of the 30 snaps he's taken thus far have come on special teams. He could have a clearer path to having a role on offense Sunday against the Colts if Odell Beckham (ankle) isn't available, but Wallace would still be behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor and Devin Duvernay on the depth chart at receiver.

Zay Jones WR | ARI
Jaguars' Zay Jones: Won't practice Wednesday
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Jones (knee) won't practice but remains day-to-day, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Jones sustained a knee injury during Jacksonville's loss to the Chiefs in Week 2, though he was able to return to the contest after initially leaving in the first half. In the event that Jones isn't able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Texans, Pederson confirmed that Tim Jones will be the next man up to serve as Jacksonville's No. 3 wideout behind Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk.

Rondale Moore WR | MIN
Cardinals' Rondale Moore: Quiet in loss
Moore secured his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.
Moore turned in another disappointing performance in Week 2, as QB Joshua Dobbs only looked his way once in the contest. The third-year wideout has yet to see enough volume to sustain fantasy relevance in the Cardinals' below average passing attack. Nonetheless, Moore will look to get more involved going forward as Dobbs becomes more familiar with the offense. Things won't get much easier in Week 3, however, as the Cardinals are set to host the Cowboys and their formidable defense.

Rashee Rice WR | KC
Chiefs' Rashee Rice: Two grabs in win
Rice secured both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jaguars.
Rice played just 12 of the Chiefs' 67 offensive snaps, behind fellow wideouts Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson and Kadarius Toney. The rookie second-round pick found the end zone in his NFL debut in Week 1, but his snap share took a dip in Week 2. Fantasy managers hoping for a breakout should temper expectations going forward, as Patrick Mahomes is spreading the ball around and Rice's limited usage should cap his potential. It's possible the 23-year-old could see his playing time increase as the season progresses, so he's worth monitoring on a high-powered offense in Kansas City. Rice will look to bounce back in a Week 3 matchup with the Bears.

Justin Watson WR | HOU
Chiefs' Justin Watson: Catches three passes in win
Watson secured three of his five targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over the Jaguars.
Watson finished second in receiving yards for the second-straight contest, as his 62 yards were just shy of Skyy Moore, who led the team with 70 receiving yards. Patrick Mahomes continued to spread the ball around Sunday, targeting 12 different players over the course of the game. With that said, Watson could struggle to maintain a clear and consistent role in the offense. Through two games, the 27-year-old has earned a solid nine targets, but his snap percentages of 26 percent and 45 percent in Weeks 1 and 2 leave much to be desired. Watson will look to become a more established part of the offense in Week 3 when the Chiefs host the Bears.

Trent Sherfield WR | BUF
Bills' Trent Sherfield: Uninvolved in offense
Sherfield has yet to be targeted through two games even though he's seen 39 snaps on offense.
The Bills have a crowded offense, and barring injury, there are five players that should hog just about all of the targets -- top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, running backJames Cook, and tight ends Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid. That leaves Shefield and the two other receivers that made the final roster -- Deonte Harty and Khalil Shakir -- getting the scraps, and so far for Sherfield there hasn't been a morsel. On the bright side, his 39 snaps outpace Harty's 28 and Shakir's 19, so Sherfield can be considered the team's No. 3 receiver for now, although he likely only has that assignment due to his elite run-blocking ability. Should Diggs or Davis go down, Shakir and Harty seem more likely to benefit.

Terrace Marshall Jr. WR | MIA
Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Not targeted Monday
Marshall was not targeted in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Marshall, who led Carolina's wideouts in snaps Week 1, was pushed down the depth chart with DJ Chark making his season debut. His addition led to Marshall playing under 40 percent of the offensive downs, trailing rookie Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen and Chark. In a limited passing game thus far, Marshall's fourth receiver role doesn't seem to carry much fantasy upside.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: High target count
Mingo caught three of eight targets for 26 yards in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints.
Mingo had a catch of 22 yards, marking Carolina's longest passing play of the game. Although he hardly gained any yardage on his other two grabs, Mingo's eight targets trailed only Adam Thielen among Panthers pass-catchers. That share of looks came despite No. 2 wideout DJ Chark making his season debut, which should boost optimism over Mingo's usage as his rookie campaign progresses.

Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Limited again Tuesday
Robinson (knee) was again listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Robinson has been a regular on the Giants' injury report to kick off the year and has yet to make his season debut. He is looking to return from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 of 2022. If he cannot play Thursday, New York will again have Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and Sterling Shepard as receiving options.

Matt Landers WR | TEN
Matt Landers: Gets cut
Seattle cut Landers from its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Just a few weeks after signing Landers to their practice squad, the Seahawks have now decided to part ways with him. The undrafted rookie will look for another opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.
