  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Panthers' DJ Chark: One catch in Carolina debut

    Chark (hamstring) caught his only target for 15 yards in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Chark made his Panthers debut after missing the season opener with a hamstring injury. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young had only one completion longer than 15 yards, but Chark produced the passing attack's second-longest play by drawing an 18-yard pass interference penalty in New Orleans territory in the fourth quarter. That play set up Carolina's third field goal of the game, but the Panthers have scored just two touchdowns through two games heading into a Week 3 trip to Seattle.

  • Chris Moore WR | WAS

    Titans' Chris Moore: Makes 49-yard catch

    Moore recorded one catch on one target for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Chargers.

    Moore took advantage of his only target to jump-start a Titans drive late in the fourth quarter that resulted in the go-ahead touchdown. While it was a pivotal play for the team, Moore has a limited role in the offense -- he's only played a combined 38 offensive snaps in the first two games.

  • Adam Thielen WR | PIT

    Panthers' Adam Thielen: Leads Carolina's WRs in Week 2

    Thielen caught seven of nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He also caught a two-point conversion.

    After making only two catches in his Panthers debut, Thielen caught three passes on Carolina's opening drive and accounted for five of Bryce Young's eight first-half completions. The veteran wide receiver added a three-yard touchdown catch and a two-point conversion on Carolina's final drive. With Young having thrown for only 299 yards and a 2:2 TD:INT through two starts, Carolina's pass catchers will be tough to trust in Seattle in Week 3, but Thielen has been the team's most productive receiver through two games.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Records pivotal score

    Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

    Westbrook-Ikhine saw his opportunity fall as compared to Week 1, but he made one of the most important plays of the day for the Titans when he caught a four-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining in the game to give the team the lead. He also chipped in a 14-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a 33-yard field goal. Though Westbrook-Ikhine plays a key role in the Tennessee offense, his limited volume will hold back his potential fantasy value.

  • Saints' Michael Thomas: Hot start in Monday's win

    Thomas caught seven of nine targets for 55 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

    Thomas was busy early, accounting for seven of Derek Carr's 13 first-half completions, including a spectacular 19-yard catch along the sideline to convert on third down and set the Saints up with first-and-goal from the four-yard line. New Orleans ultimately settled for a field goal on that drive, and neither team found the end zone until Tony Jones' two-yard touchdown run with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. The defense shifted in Thomas' direction and held him without a catch in the second half, but the veteran wide receiver still finished with a respectable stat line and has 12 catches for 116 yards on the season heading into a Week 3 trip to Green Bay.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Heats up in second half on MNF

    Olave caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

    Olave couldn't get on the same page as Derek Carr in the first half, catching only two of seven targets for 11 yards while Michael Thomas hauled in seven of nine targets for 55 yards. The 2022 first-round pick came alive in the second half, sparking the game's first touchdown drive with a one-handed, 42-yard catch. Olave thought he had a touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter, but a replay review revealed that he stepped out of bounds on the seven-yard line before scampering into the end zone. Despite playing second fiddle to Thomas early, Olave ultimately led the team in both targets and receiving yards. Olave will try to score his first touchdown of the season Week 3 against the Packers.

  • Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Will not return

    Olszewski (concussion) will not return to Monday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Olszewski's absence will leave the Steelers with just four healthy receivers for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one reception for zero yards prior to his departure. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocols in order to suit up for a Week 3 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday night.

  • Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Doubtful to return

    Olszewski is considered doutbtful to return to Monday's matchup with the Browns due to a possible concussion.

    Olsezewski would need to quickly clear the league's concussion protocols in order to return. If he is unable to return, that leaves the Steelers with just four healthy receivers. He had recorded one reception for zero yards before exiting the game.

  • Austin Trammell: Returns to practice squad

    Trammell reverted to Rams' practice squad Monday.

    Trammell was elevated ahead of Los Angeles' 30-23 loss to the 49ers, logging six snaps on special teams, including a 20-yard kick return. The wide receiver only garnered one offensive snap and will now have to wait for another chance to crack the active roster down the road.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Blanked by Seattle

    Jones was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.

    Jones again logged about half of the offensive snaps despite a poor showing in the season opener. While a significant downturn in usage rate provided no opportunities for him to put up any stats, the 33-year-old veteran didn't do much with the six targets he saw in Week 1 anyway. Next up for Jones is a Week 3 matchup with a talented Falcons secondary.
