  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Mediocre day in blowout win

    Diggs recorded seven catches on seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.

    Diggs was extremely efficient in turning his targets into receptions, but there wasn't much production to follow. His longest gain of the day went for 17 yards, but three of his catches went for under 10 yards. After commanding 13 targets in Week 1, Josh Allen also distributed the ball around to more pass catchers, another contributing factor to the relative down performance. Even so, this game illustrates Diggs' extremely high floor for fantasy purposes.

  • Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN

    Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Another quiet week

    Chase had five catches for 31 yards on eight targets in the Bengals' Week 2 loss to the Ravens.

    The Bengals struggled to unlock Chase, with almost all of his targets coming on shorter routes. Teammate Joe Burrow appeared to tweak his calf injury very late in the game, which could continue to drag down Chase's production next week against the Rams.

  • Garrett Wilson WR | NYJ

    Jets' Garrett Wilson: Wind knocked out late in loss

    Wilson (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-10 loss in Dallas, Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York reports. He caught two of eight targets for 83 yards and a touchdown prior to getting hurt.

    Wilson checked himself out of the game and went into the blue medical tent after consulting with trainers along the sideline. He was taken to the locker room in the final minutes of the blowout loss, in which Wilson scored New York's only touchdown on a 68-yard catch and run. Per Andy Vasquez of NJ Advance Media, head coach Robert Saleh said after the game that Wilson had the wind knocked out of him and should be fine moving forward. Zach Wilson struggled to get Wilson the ball against a tough Dallas defense. Despite opening the season on a two-game touchdown streak, Wilson will have a low touch floor in Week 3 against the Patriots, even if his injury doesn't lead to additional missed time.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Inactive versus Miami

    Boutte is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Dolphins.

    A hamstring issue limited Boutte in practice earlier this week, but he didn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest. With Boutte the odd man out in Week 2, the Patriots will proceed with a WR corps that includes JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Demario Douglas and Jalen Reagor.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Patriots' DeVante Parker: Suits up Sunday

    Parker (knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Dolphins.

    After being a limited participant in practice last week, Parker was inactive for the Patriots' season-opening loss to the Eagles. Following limited sessions Wednesday through Friday this time around, Parker is back in action Sunday and figures to step into a key role in a New England WR corps that also features JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne, with Demario Douglas also a candidate to mix in along with practice squad elevation Jalen Reagor.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Leading receiver in Week 2 win

    Agholor caught five of six targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.

    Agholor took on a larger role after Odell Beckham (ankle) exited in the first half. After being held without a reception in his Baltimore debut, Agholor led the team in receiving yards in Week 2. His biggest catch was a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Agholor's a capable player with three 700-yard seasons under his belt, but carving out a consistent role won't be easy in a passing game that also includes Beckham, 2023 first-round pick Zay Flowers, 2021 first-round pick Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Four catches in Week 2 win

    Downs brought in four of five targets for 37 yards in the Colts' 31-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Downs again served as the No. 3 receiver, but as was the case in his NFL debut Week 1, he was more productive than No. 2 wideout Alec Pierce (2-28). Downs has displayed solid rapport with both Anthony Richardson (concussion) and Gardner Minshew, so he'll remain an interesting deep-league option for a Week 3 road battle against the Ravens.

  • Alec Pierce WR | IND

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Quiet again in Week 2 win

    Pierce secured both targets for 28 yards in the Colts' 31-20 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Pierce's disappointing start to the new campaign continued Sunday, as he was able to only marginally improve on a one-catch, five-yard Week 1 tally. The 2022 second-round pick put together a solid rookie season (41-593-2 across 16 games) that raised expectations coming into the new season, but he's been nothing more than a secondary option in the air attack thus far and has seen rookie Josh Downs outperform him as the No. 3 wideout. Pierce's next opportunity to jump start his season comes in a Week 3 road matchup versus the Ravens.

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Eight catches in Week 2 win

    Pittman secured eight of 12 targets for 56 yards in the Colts' 31-20 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by Indianapolis.

    Pittman led the Colts in receptions and receiving yards on a day when Anthony Richardson (concussion) and Gardner Minshew spread the ball around to eight different targets. Pittman has been as busy as expected over the first two games, recording 16 receptions for 153 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets. He'll look to keep up his strong start with either Richardson or Minshew under center in a Week 3 road matchup against the Ravens.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Texans' Robert Woods: Another solid output in loss

    Woods secured six of nine targets for 74 yards in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    The veteran wideout served as a security blanket for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, finishing tied for second in targets while sharing the team lead in receptions. Woods has quickly amassed a 12-131 line through two games, and he'll again be a solid option in all formats during a Week 3 road matchup against the Jaguars during which the Texans could well be down by a sizable margin in the second half.
