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.

Lazard (ankle) caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears.

Green Bay's entire offense looked much sharper after mustering just seven points in Week 1, and Lazard's return from an ankle injury contributed to that improvement. Aaron Rodgers spread the ball around, as no Packer got more than four targets, but Lazard made the most of his limited opportunities by catching a five-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Lazard could still emerge as the clear top option in Green Bay's passing game, but as things stand heading into a Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers, no one has taken over as Rodgers' go-to guy since Davante Adams' departure.

Robinson recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

Robinson didn't post a monstrous line, but it still represented a marked improvement over his output in Week 1. In Week 2, he caught a one-yard touchdown to cap the Rams' first offensive possession, and he also showed some big-play ability by tallying receptions of 29 and 15 yards. Cooper Kupp will dominate targets in the offense, but Robinson showed the potential to serve as the legitimate second option with this performance.

Berrios (heel) wasn't targeted but rushed twice for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

Berrios didn't play much of a role on offense while Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore combined for 23 targets. The All-Pro return man had three kickoff returns for 75 yards and a 16-yard punt return, so Berrios' reduced role didn't seem linked to the heel injury he battled in practice throughout the week. Berrios is the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver heading into a Week 3 visit from the Bengals.

Kupp recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 108 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

Kupp got off to a relatively slow start, though he added another impressive performance to his resume. He scored touchdowns from three and 10 yards out and also posted lengthier gains of 20, 19 and 12 yards. Kupp certainly appears capable of replicating his 2021 results, as he has recorded double-digit receptions, at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown in each of the team's first two games of the new campaign.

Davis caught two of four targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

Davis was quiet for most of the game before getting behind the defense for a 66-yard touchdown with 1:22 to play. That touchdown pulled the Jets within six points, and New York proceeded to score the winning touchdown exactly one minute later after recovering an onside kick. With Davis, Elijah Moore and Garrett Wilson -- who topped 100 yards with two touchdowns against Cleveland -- New York has quietly compiled a talented group of wide receivers. The Jets continue to catch passes from Joe Flacco in Week 3 against the Bengals before possibly getting Zach Wilson (knee) back under center the following week.

Brown caught all five of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

The depth receiver was Cooper Rush's most reliable option on the day, and Brown not only led Dallas in receiving yards, he caught his first career NFL touchdown in the first quarter on a nine-yard strike from Rush. Michael Gallup (knee) appears close to rejoining the lineup, however, and this performance may well end up being the high-water mark for Brown this season heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that's yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.
