Skowronek caught his only target for 10 yards and rushed once for 11 yards during Sunday's 30-23 loss to the 49ers.

Despite having a brief injury scare in the first half, Skowronek returned and played a quarter of the Rams' snaps on offense. The veteran's 11-yard rush late in the third quarter was the longest run the Rams had all game, and coach Sean McVay's trust in Skowronek's versatility should keep him as the primary backup to the current starting trio of Puka Nacua, Tutu Atwell and Van Jefferson until Cooper Kupp (hamstring) returns.

McCloud (wrist) was on the field for four special teams snaps in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Rams.

McCloud made a speedy recovery from a broken wrist suffered this preseason, missing just the first game of the regular season ahead of Sunday's appearance. The 26-year-old was limited to returning kicks against the Rams, which could just be the coaching staff easing him back into action. Assuming his wrist held up fine, McCloud should continue serving as the 49ers' return man in a home matchup against the Giants on Thursday.

Agnew caught his lone target for five yards and returned two punts for five yards during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs.

The veteran return man played 24 offensive snaps with Zay Jones leaving the game due a knee issue, but Jones eventually returned while Agnew was unable to take advantage of the absence. Agnew is likely to continue working as the Jags' No. 4 wideout as long as Jones, Christian Kirk and Calvin Ridley are available.

Jones failed to record a catch on six targets during Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Chiefs.

The 28-year-old left the contest during the first half with a knee issue but returned to the field, and he ended up playing 66 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps after he played 88 percent Week 1. Jones couldn't get on the same page with QB Trevor Lawrence, and the veteran finished without a catch for the first time in 20 games (including playoffs) since joining the Jags. Jones remains a key piece of the offense but is likely to be a volatile fantasy option with Calvin Ridley and Christian Kirk operating as the top targets in the passing game.

Johnston caught one of his two targets for seven yards in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

The Chargers have a deep wide receiver corps, but it's a bit surprising to see the 2023 first-round pick play just 10 total snaps Sunday after registering a paltry 22 in his NFL debut last week. With Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer all healthy, it's understandably hard for the rookie target to crack the rotation. However, given the draft capital invested in the big-bodied target, it feels unlikely Johnston will continue to be a non-factor as the season progresses.

Palmer caught three of his five targets for 13 yards in the 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Palmer once again saw a heavy snap share, tallying 37 offensive snaps compared to Derius Davis' 11 and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston's 10. Despite a lackluster ground attack, Justin Herbert and the passing unit primarily fed Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, essentially relegating Palmer to an afterthought. It's possible the third-year receiver could be involved more in what figures to be an offensive onslaught Week 3 against the Vikings.

Coach Josh McDaniels said Monday that Adams (head) is "good" after having been forced out of Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills, Levi Edwards of the Raiders' official site reports.

Adams was evaluated for a concussion Sunday, but it appears the star wideout retains a clean bill of health. He recorded six catches (on eight targets) for 84 yards and a score before exiting the Week 2 loss. Fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers was forced to sit out versus Buffalo due to a concussion, so it will be worth monitoring whether he can gain clearance and rejoin Adams on the field when the Raiders take on the Steelers in Week 3.

Carter was unable to haul in his only target in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.

Carter returned one kickoff for 23 yards, but he logged just nine offensive snaps despite fellow receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) missing the contest. Davante Adams left early with a possible concussion of his own Sunday, so the Raiders could be even thinner at the position against the Steelers in Week 3. If Meyers and Adams remain sidelined, Carter might see additional work alongside Hunter Renfrow, Kristian Wilkerson and Tre Tucker.

Gallup caught one of two targets for three yards in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Even with Brandin Cooks (knee) inactive, Gallup wasn't much of a factor in the Cowboys' passing game, and second-year wideout Jalen Tolbert saw more looks from Dak Prescott on the rare occasions the quarterback wasn't throwing the ball to CeeDee Lamb or Tony Pollard. Gallup could be in danger of slipping to the No. 4 spot on the WR depth chart, and his fantasy outlook will be dim in Week 3 as Dallas isn't likely to need much production through the air against the winless Cardinals.

Tucker was held without a catch on just one target in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills, but he took his lone carry for 34 yards.

Tucker, who was a healthy inactive Week 1, immediately showcased his speed on the Raiders' opening drive Sunday when the third-round rookie ran for 34 yards on a jet sweep, setting up a 16-yard touchdown pass from Jimmy Garoppolo to Davante Adams (concussion) on the very next play. Tucker ultimately logged only nine offensive snaps, however, while fellow reserve Kristian Wilkerson played 29 snaps. If Adams and Jakobi Meyers remain subject to the league's concussion protocol, Tucker could see additional opportunities against the Steelers in Week 3.
