NFL Player News

Toure (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Toure will be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week to begin the regular season. The rookie seventh-rounder's next chance to make his professional debut will be next Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Jones (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Jones has been officially ruled out for a second consecutive week. The rookie third-round pick will look to heal up in time to make his NFL debut in Week 3 against Houston.

Lazard (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest versus the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Lazard sat out the Packers' season-opening loss at Minnesota after getting stepped on in practice between the end of the preseason and the beginning of Week 1 prep. He was able to return to practice in a limited capacity in advance of Week 2 action, even mixing into team drills at Friday's session. The preceding seemingly set Lazard up to be available Sunday, and indeed he is. He'll serve as Green Bay's top wide receiver moving forward, but even with Davante Adams out of town, it's unclear if Lazard will be able to attain weekly viability.

Dotson caught four of five targets for 59 yards and a touchdown while adding a two-point conversion in Sunday's 36-27 loss to Detroit.

Dotson continued to show a nose for the end zone after scoring two touchdowns in his NFL debut. He caught a two-point conversion in the third quarter, then scored from one yard out just after the two-minute warning. Terry McLaurin and Curtis Samuel are more regularly involved when Washington's moving the ball down the field, but Dotson has quickly developed chemistry with quarterback Carson Wentz by the goal line. The rookie first-round pick will look to extend his scoring streak in Week 3 against the Eagles.

Gage (hamstring) secured five of six targets for 28 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Gage was able to play through his hamstring issues for a second straight week to open the season, finishing with a team-high number of catches in a game in which the Buccaneers were down both Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee), and during which Mike Evans was ejected early in the fourth quarter. Gage has been even more of a short-area target over his first two games in Tampa Bay than he was in Atlanta, and he may have an uphill battle to rack up yardage against a tough Packers secondary Week 3 next Sunday.

Samuel caught seven of nine targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions. He added a 21-yard rush on his lone carry.

Samuel finally got the Commanders on the board with a 15-yard touchdown in the third quarter and wound up with at least a share of the team lead in targets, catches and receiving yards. After failing to get into the end zone in an injury-riddled first season with Washington, Samuel has shown the skills that made him an attractive free agent for Washington in the 2021 offseason, opening the 2022 campaign with a two-game touchdown streak. He'll look to build on this hot start at home against the Eagles in Week 3.

Perriman brought in three of five targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Perriman was able to overcome a knee injury to garner active status, and his presence became even more important in the fourth quarter when Mike Evans was ejected for his part in a multi-player brawl. Perriman then came down with a 28-yard touchdown grab down the right sideline with 7:41 remaining to snap a 3-3 tie and give the Buccaneers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Despite the solid success Sunday, Perriman could bump down the depth chart Week 3 against the Packers depending on the status of Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee).

McLaurin caught four of eight targets for 75 yards and added a seven-yard run in Sunday's 36-27 loss to the Lions.

McLaurin finished three yards and one target shy of Curtis Samuel's team-leading totals. Both Samuel and Jahan Dotson got into the end zone again after doing so last week, but McLaurin failed to extend his own touchdown streak to two games. McLaurin remains the top wide receiver for Washington heading into a Week 3 showdown with the Eagles, but the gap between him and the alternative options appears substantially smaller than it was last season.

St. Brown caught nine of 12 targets for 116 yards with two touchdowns while rushing twice for 68 yards during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.

Through two games, it seems as if preseason concerns that St. Brown wouldn't be able to maintain the target share he handled down the stretch of last year were significantly overblown. While perhaps benefiting from an inviting matchup with the Commanders down Kamren Curl (thumb) in this one, St. Brown nonetheless racked up yet another productive fantasy outing. In fact, he has now tied the NFL record with eight consecutive games with at least eight receptions while also logging nine total touchdowns and some rushing production over that span. Seemingly matchup-proof given his role in an ascending Lions offense, St. Brown will remain a quality fantasy option in Week 3 against the Vikings.

Moore caught three of five targets for 41 yards and rushed once for minus-6 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

Moore tied for third on the team in targets behind Garrett Wilson (14) and tight end Tyler Conklin (nine). Wilson turned his volume into 102 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing better chemistry with Joe Flacco. Moore's upside in Week 3 against the Bengals could be capped with Flacco expected to remain under center, but the Jets' offense looked much more capable in this one after mustering just nine points in the season opener against Baltimore.
