Cracraft secured both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Cracraft and Braxton Berrios continue to split No. 3 receiver work behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (concussion), but Miami's passing game wasn't prolific enough in Week 2's divisional win to provide either depth man real fantasy value. It will be worth monitoring Waddle's status for Week 3's game against the Broncos, though, as an absence on his part could boost both Cracraft and Berrios.

Berrios secured two of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday night's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Berrios also operated as Miami's top punt returner, handling two returns for a total of 27 yards. Behind target leaders Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (concussion), Berrios retains enough involvement in his rotational offensive role to warrant some fantasy consideration in deep formats. If Waddle remains in the concussion protocol Week 3 versus the Broncos, it would pave the way for Berrios to handle an expanded role.

Bourne had four catches on nine targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.

Bourne wound up leading the team in targets, but finished fourth in terms of receiving yardage. The veteran wideout made a valiant effort on one of Mac Jones' few deep pass attempts Sunday, but the ball pulled him out of bounds. The end result was a disappointing follow-up to last week's two-touchdown showing from Bourne. Fantasy managers should expect results somewhere in between his first two games when the Patriots take on the Jets next Sunday.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington.

Johnson was the recipient of a Hail Mary attempt from Russell Wilson that bounced off multiple players before landing in his hands for a 50-yard touchdown on the final play of regulation. The 25-year-old had just one reception for 16 yards prior to his improbable score, so fantasy managers should be careful not to overvalue his final line when scouring waiver wires this week. Johnson will continue serving as a backup option for Denver's upcoming tilt against Miami.

Dotson finished with three receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 35-33 win over Denver.

Dotson turned in another lackluster fantasy line following last week's 40-yard output. The second-year receiver has yet to find the end zone after posting seven touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie last year. Dotson has maintained regular playing time during his slow start, seeing 12 targets through two games. The production should come so long as his role isn't reduced, so frustrated managers in deeper formats should remain patient with the 2022 first-round pick as the Commanders prepare to host the Bills next Sunday.

Shepard caught his only target for four yards in a Week 2 win against Arizona on Sunday.

For the second straight week, Shepard received just one target, though he at least came up with a catch against the Cardinals after being shut out in the season opener. The veteran wideout has been on the field for less than 20 percent of New York's offensive snaps thus far, suggesting that he's near the bottom of the team's wide-receiver pecking order. Shepard is coming off back-to-back campaigns severely shortened by injury, so it's possible his lack of involvement early is at least partly due to the Giants electing to work him back into action slowly.

Campbell caught four of six targets for 21 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Cardinals.

After nabbing just one of four targets in a season-opening loss to Dallas, Campbell was more efficient and productive against Arizona, though his longest reception went for just nine yards. The speedy wideout finished tied for third on the team in catches but was sixth in receiving yards in a game during which QB Daniel Jones racked up 321 yards through the air. New York doesn't yet have a clear wide-receiver pecking order, making it difficult to predict how much volume Campbell -- or any of the team's wideouts -- will receive in any given week.

Parker (knee) had six receptions on eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.

Parker was a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football after a week of limited practice due to a knee injury. The veteran receiver suited up and wound up leading the team in receiving on a quiet offensive night. Parker trailed only Kendrick Bourne's nine targets, but the latter did far less with his opportunities Sunday. Expect the now-healthy Parker to serve as one of the Patriots' top wideouts against the Jets next Sunday.

Hill had five receptions on nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is known for taking away the opponent's best weapon, and it was clear from the jump that the defense was not going to let the speedy wideout beat them deep. Hill still provided value for his fantasy managers with an early touchdown catch, his third through three games. Fellow starter Jaylen Waddle was knocked out of the game after a rough hit to the head, so the Dolphins may need to rely on Hill more than usual if the former isn't able to go against the Broncos next Sunday.

Hutchinson did not catch his only target in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts in Week 2.

Hutchinson increased his snap count from seven in Week 1 to 18 in Week 2. The 2023 sixth-round draft pick has been targeted twice through the first two games and sits fifth on the depth chart.
