Tolbert caught three of four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

With Brandin Cooks (knee) sidelined, most of Dak Prescott's attention went to CeeDee Lamb, but Tolbert was able to put together the first multi-catch game of his career. The second-year wideout also out-produced Michael Gallup, who managed only one catch for three yards. Tolbert doesn't yet have a big role in the Dallas passing game, but he appears to be taking a big step forward after a tough rookie campaign. He'll try to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Smith-Njigba caught five of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 37-31 overtime win versus the Lions.

Smith-Njigba exited the game briefly with what appeared to be a leg injury, per Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune. However, the rookie was cleared and finished tied for second on the team in targets with DK Metcalf. Smith-Njigba has connected on only short passes thus far, as his longest gain of the day was 16 yards. Nevertheless, it's promising that the first-round pick is getting targeted frequently through two weeks. It may be just a matter of time before he breaks out.

Lamb caught 11 of 13 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Despite being matched up frequently against Sauce Gardner, Lamb put together a huge performance as he tied his career high in catches while accounting for over 56 percent of Dak Prescott's passing yards. In fact, no other Cowboy came within 100 yards of Lamb's output -- Tony Pollard finished second on the team with 37 receiving yards. The No. 1 wideout could be busy again in Week 3 against a Cardinals defense that just gave up 321 passing yards to Daniel Jones, most of which came in an epic second-half collapse.

Davis recorded six receptions on seven targets for 92 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.

Davis bounced back from a quiet Week 1 performance to deliver a few big plays in Buffalo's blowout win. He accounted for the team's longest gain from scrimmage with a 40-yard catch down the right sideline late in the fourth quarter. Earlier in the contest, Davis caught a two-yard touchdown to put the Bills up 28-10. He was a boom-bust player in a full-time role in 2022, and a similar outcome appears on tap for the current campaign.

McLaurin had five receptions on six targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.

Quarterback Sam Howell found McLaurin for a 30-yard score on the first drive of the second half, which sparked an impressive multi-score comeback for the Commanders. The 28-year-old was held to two catches in Week 1 coming off of a preseason toe injury, so Sunday's strong showing should relieve any concerned fantasy managers. Look for McLaurin to continue building a rapport with his new quarterback in a home matchup against the Bills next Sunday.

Wilson caught all three of his targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.

He tied Zach Ertz for the team lead in receiving yards while catching multiple passes for the second straight game to begin his NFL career. Wilson is quickly earning the trust of Joshua Dobbs, but the 2023 third-round pick will have troubling making an impact in Week 3 against an elite Cowboys defense.

Hopkins recorded four receptions on five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

Hopkins took the field Sunday despite not practicing throughout the week due to an ankle injury. While he toughed out the issue, his performance was clearly affected, as he was on the field for only 37 offensive snaps, amounting to 59 percent of the team's total, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Assuming Hopkins can improve with some additional rest between now and Tennessee's Week 3 matchup against the Browns, he should reassume a larger role in the offense.

Brown caught six of 10 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Giants.

The fifth-year wideout produced the only score of the second half for the Cardinals after they built a 20-0 lead before halftime, hauling in a three-yard TD pass from Joshua Dobbs midway through the third quarter. Brown's 10 targets also led his team, while his six catches tied Zach Ertz for tops on Arizona. Brown faces a tough test in Week 3 against a Cowboys defense that just held the Jets' Garrett Wilson to only two receptions, although one of them went for a 68-yard touchdown.

Allen recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.

Allen managed only two performances of at least 100 yards in 2022, but it took him only the second game of 2023 to reach the mark. His longest gain of the day went for 42 yards, and he tallied scores from eight and 12 yards away. Allen has an impressive 19 targets across two games to begin the campaign and has shown an early connection with Justin Hebert this season.

The knee injury Mooney suffered in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers isn't considered serious, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Mooney left the game early in the second half, but he isn't expected to miss much, if any, additional time. He had 53 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's season opener but finished without a target in Week 2. Mooney's next chance to take the field will be in Week 3 against Kansas City.
