Douglas was on the field for six of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, Douglas -- who caught both of his targets Sunday for 19 yards -- didn't record any offensive snaps after losing a fumble on the final play of the first quarter of the contest. Looking ahead, Douglas will look to bounce back from his Week 2 turnover this coming weekend versus the Jets, but with veteran WRs DeVante Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne also in the mix in addition to TEs Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki, the promising 2023 sixth-rounder has plenty of competition for targets at this stage of the season.

Smith-Schuster logged 44 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins while catching five of his six targets in the contest for 28 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

In his season debut after missing Week 1 action, DeVante Parkerled the Patriots' WRs with 74 snaps en route to recording eight targets. He was followed by Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne (38 snaps, nine targets). Two weeks into the 2023 season, Smith-Schuster has combined for nine catches (on 13 targets) for 61 yards, numbers that have given him modest fantasy value in PPR formats thus far.

Montgomery was on the field for three of 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Montgomery, who continues to work behind Rhamondre Stevenson (54 snaps) and Ezekiel Elliott (22 snaps), didn't record a carry or catch (on one target) Sunday and will remain off the fantasy radar as long as his change-of-pace role with the Patriots is limited.

Beckham (ankle) is not expected to miss any time due to the injury he sustained during Sunday's divisional win over the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Coach John Harbaugh downplayed the severity of Beckham's injury after Sunday's win, so it appears that the veteran wideout is only dealing with a minor ankle issue. While it currently looks like Beckham won't have to miss any time, his participation in practice approaching Week 3's matchup against the Colts still will need to be monitored. He's recorded 37 and 29 receiving yards in Baltimore's first two games of the season, respectively.

Hollins caught three of six targets for 60 yards during Sunday's 25-24 win over the Packers.

Hollins has caught three passes in back-to-back weeks to open the season and is firmly entrenched as Atlanta's No. 2 wideout, as he played over 45 more snaps than Scotty Miller and KhaDarel Hodge. The majority of Hollins' production came on a trick play in the fourth quarter, which essentially sparked the Falcons' comeback win. The wideout also had a touchdown in the third quarter called back after a controversial review. It was a solid performance, but Hollins' fantasy value remains limited while operating in a run-heavy offense.

Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. He had one punt return for seven yards.

Gipson scored the game-winning punt return touchdown in overtime in his NFL debut, but the electric return man was much quieter in his second NFL game. The rookie receiver has yet to see a target on offense.

Cobb failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Through two games with the Jets, Cobb has two targets and no catches. Without Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) throwing him the ball, Cobb doesn't seem to have enough left in the tank at age 33 to meaningfully contribute.

Hardman caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

After playing zero offensive snaps in his first game with the Jets last week, Hardman recorded his first reception with the team in Week 2. When asked about the possibility of playing Hardman more after the loss to Dallas, head coach Robert Saleh said "it's something to look at," per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Hardman's speed could provide a spark for a Jets offense that's desperate for production after losing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) for the season, but the former Kansas City wide receiver will be tough to trust in fantasy unless he earns a larger role.

Lazard caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Lazard finished third on the team in both targets and receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) and tight end Tyler Conklin. Wilson provided most of New York's offense with a 68-yard touchdown catch and is expected to be available in Week 3 against the Patriots after having the wind knocked out of him late in the game. While Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) has a history of keeping numerous receivers fantasy-relevant simultaneously, the same can't be said of Zach Wilson, so Lazard's role as a starter on the outside won't necessarily earn him significant target volume or fantasy production.

Ezukanma had three carries for five yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Ezukanma handled two carries Week 1, so it appears that his involvement as a depth option in the rushing game isn't an apparition. Of course, Ezukanma's usage could dissipate if De'Von Achane's involvement rises as the season progresses. Nonetheless, in deep fantasy formats it will be worth keeping an eye on Ezukanma, just in case the Dolphins are indeed committed to keeping him involved.
