  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Finds end zone in Week 2 win

    Moore caught three of four targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-9 win over Jacksonville.

    Moore caught a nine-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. It was the first regular-season receiving touchdown for the 2022 second-round draft pick, who also caught one in the Super Bowl against the Eagles. Most of Moore's yardage came on Kansas City's last pass of the game, as he got free for a 54-yard gain to convert a crucial third down. Moore will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Bears.

  • Kadarius Toney WR | CLE

    Chiefs' Kadarius Toney: Catches all five Week 2 targets

    Toney caught all five of his targets for 35 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 17-9 win over Jacksonville.

    Toney played a clean game after an error-filled Week 1 performance, tying Justin Watson for second on the team in targets behind Travis Kelce's nine. Patrick Mahomes completed multiple passes to nine different targets while topping 300 passing yards. Toney has established a decent touch floor in Kansas City's balanced passing attack, but he hasn't particularly stood out in a receiving corps that also includes Watson, Skyy Moore, Rashee Rice and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. He'll look to make more of his opportunities in Week 3 against the Bears.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Five catches in Week 2 win

    Godwin secured five of eight targets for 58 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday.

    Godwin put together a second straight solid performance to open the campaign, although he was again outpaced statistically by fellow wideout Mike Evans. Godwin finished a distant second to his teammate in yardage, although 70 of Evans' 171 came on a catch-and-run play. Meanwhile, the two players co-led the Buccaneers in targets, which should offer some encouragement to Godwin's fantasy managers. He'll look to make a bigger mark, albeit in a tough matchup, versus the Eagles in a Week 3 home matchup Monday night, Sept. 25.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Jaguars' Calvin Ridley: Quiet in Week 2

    Ridley caught two of eight targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Ridley drew more defensive attention after topping 100 yards in his Jacksonville debut, and he was held in check this time while Christian Kirk led the team with 11 catches for 110 yards on 14 targets. Trevor Lawrence has thrown for just 457 yards through two games, so it's possible that Ridley and Kirk could be productive simultaneously once the talented third-year quarterback finds his groove. Doing so may not be easy in Week 3 against a Houston team that held Lawrence without a passing touchdown in two 2022 meetings.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Scores first career touchdown

    Dell brought in seven of 10 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 13 yards.

    The rookie was granted an elevated role due to Noah Brown's placement on injured reserve with a groin injury, and Dell made very good use of the extra snaps Sunday. The 2023 third-round pick tied Nico Collins for the team lead in receptions while checking in third in receiving yards, and he recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 23-yard catch in the fourth quarter that served as Houston's final points of the afternoon. Given his encouraging performance Sunday and Stroud's seemingly quick learning curve, Dell shapes up as an intriguing fantasy option during a Week 3 road matchup against the Jaguars.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Career-best effort in loss

    Collins secured seven of nine targets for 146 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Collins tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in receiving yards by a comfortable margin. The fourth-year pro made a spectacular contested catch on his touchdown grab, an eight-yard reception in traffic late in the first quarter. Collins has been rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud's favorite receiver through the first two games of the second overall pick's professional career, as Collins will carry a 13-226-1 line on 20 targets into a Week 3 divisional road clash against the Jaguars.

  • Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Tops 100 yards in Week 2

    Kirk caught 11 of 14 targets for 110 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to Kansas City. He also completed one pass for minus-1 yard.

    Kirk was held to one catch in the season opener, but he bounced back in Week 2, accounting for half of Trevor Lawrence's 22 completions and more than half of his 216 passing yards. The 26-year-old wide receiver's productive performance included a 45-yard catch in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones combined for two catches on 14 targets after racking up 156 yards and two touchdowns between them last week. Figuring out the hot hand in Jacksonville's receiving corps from week to week may not be an easy task, but perhaps having Ridley on hand to draw the defense's attention will work to Kirk's benefit in Week 3 against the Texans, who limited Kirk to three catches for 32 yards across two meetings last season.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Perseveres through injury Sunday

    Metcalf brought in all six targets for 75 yards in the Seahawks' 37-31 overtime win over the Lions on Sunday.

    Metcalf finished with a team-high receiving yardage total despite having exited the game for a time with a rib injury in the first half after being sandwiched by two Lions defenders at the goal line on a catch attempt. Although he wasn't to make a second trip to the end zone in as many weeks to open the season, Metcalf did double up his Week 1 catch total and recorded 28 more receiving yards. He'll next take aim at the Panthers in a Week 3 home matchup.

  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Bears' DJ Moore: Eclipses century mark in loss

    Moore brought in six of seven targets for 104 yards in the Bears' 27-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Moore comfortably led the Bears in receiving yardage while also setting the pace in receptions. The veteran's performance following a quiet debut in the Week 1 loss to the Packers was along the lines of what was expected after a strong body of work during OTAs, training camp and the preseason, and Moore will undoubtedly be called upon plenty as the Bears look to keep up with the Chiefs in a Week 3 road matchup.

  • Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Scores first touchdown

    Wicks caught two of four targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Falcons.

    Wicks extended Green Bay's lead by breaking a tackle en route to a 32-yard touchdown during the third quarter. While that marked the rookie fifth-rounder's first end-zone trip, it wasn't enough for the Packers to avoid a late defeat. Still, in leading his team in receiving yards Sunday, Wicks turned in a commendable performance with usual top wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined once again.
