Miller brought in three of eight targets for 34 yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Miller garnered active status with both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) sidelined, and the speedster played a total of 29 snaps from scrimmage (43 percent). While there wasn't much efficiency evident in Miller's line, his numbers qualify as serviceable on a day when Tom Brady threw for only 190 yards. The Bowling Green product could be back to inactive status for a Week 3 home showdown with the Packers if either/both of Godwin or Jones are available for that contest.

Eskridge caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

The Seahawks trailed nearly all game, but the 2021 second-round pick was targeted on just one of Geno Smith's 30 passes. He was only on the field for six offensive snaps, as he's currently behind DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Marquise Goodwin in the pecking order.

Goodwin failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 27-7 loss to the 49ers.

Goodwin logged 26 offensive snaps, which was far more than 2021 second-round pick Dee Eskridge (six). Still, only Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf have put up meaningful stats through the first two games. Goodwin is merely a field-stretcher that fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about.

Doubs was targeted three times and caught two passes for 27 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Doubs did not do a lot in his second appearance as a professional, but he did turn a short pass into a 20-yard gain in the second quarter -- a play that gave the Packers a manageable third down en route to a score that extended their lead from three to 10 points. With fellow receiver Allen Lazard back after missing Week 1, Doubs was out there for 10 fewer snaps than he was in the opener. Plays like the one he made Sunday night will help him get on the field more, but heading into Week 3, he finds himself part of a trio of players behind top wideouts Lazard and Sammy Watkins on the depth chart.

Cobb was targeted three times and caught three passes for 37 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

Cobb caught a couple short passes just like he did in the Packers' season-opening loss to the Vikings, but he also had a 20-yard reception late in the second quarter, which led to a touchdown that gave the Packers a three-score halftime lead. While Cobb's output increased slightly, his snap count percentage was cut in half, from 60.7 to 30.3 percent -- perhaps due to the big halftime lead and the lack of a need to air it out. Cobb will be out there in pivotal situations, but with Allen Lazard back, it looks like the workload could be shared behind top wideouts Lazard and Sammy Watkins.

Bell caught his lone target for six yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

Bell received his first target as a professional in a regular-season game and has been on the field for 28.6 percent of the offensive snaps so far. He once again was well behind Amari Cooper (54 snaps) and Donovan Peoples-Jones (52) in terms of snap count.

Peoples-Jones did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

After pacing the Browns with 11 targets in a Week 1 win over Carolina, Peoples-Jones was a forgotten man Sunday. Instead, Amari Cooper (10 targets) was the leader against New York. Cleveland's offense under quarterback Jacoby Brissett is designed to run more than throw, and seeing both wideouts with substantial targets in a game may be rare.

St. Brown caught two passes for 39 yards in the Bears' 27-10 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

In a game that Justin Fields threw just 11 passes, Brown's four targets and 39 yards were more than double the total of any of his teammates. With Chicago's difficult early season schedule expected to lighten up soon, it's likely that St. Brown falls well behind Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet in production, and he'll continue to be a depth option in most fantasy leagues.

Mooney caught one of two targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Packers.

Two weeks into the season, Mooney has just four receiving yards on five targets, and there wasn't any inclement weather to blame his poor performance on this time. He's far from the only member of Chicago's passing attack that's off to a slow start, as quarterback Justin Fields has thrown for just 182 yards through two games. Mooney will try to get his season on track in Week 3 against the Texans and rookie cornerback Derek Stingley, whom Houston selected third overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Watson caught all three of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears.

Green Bay got the ball in Watson's hands around the line of scrimmage and let him try to pick up yards after the catch with his mix of size and speed, but the rookie second-round pick didn't get any opportunities downfield after an egregious drop in his NFL debut. Watson still faces significant competition for touches from Sammy Watkins, Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb heading into the Packers' Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers.
