Evans secured three of four targets for 61 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday. He was ejected from the game with 12:55 remaining for his role in a multi-player brawl, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Evans managed a team-leading receiving yardage tally before his unceremonious exit, showing no apparent ill effects from the calf injury that had limited him during the past week. However, the veteran's ejection, which came after he ran off the sideline to shove the Saints' Marshon Lattimore down while he was scuffling with several of his teammates, could have been costly, as the game was tied 3-3 at the time. Tampa Bay was able to escape with a 10-point win, while Evans will look to raise his production at the expense of a tough Packers defense in a Week 3 home showdown next Sunday.

Thomas brought in six of nine targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Thomas paced the Saints in receptions on the afternoon, and he salvaged his fantasy day with a late seven-yard touchdown grab, already his third touchdown on the campaign. Two games in, Thomas looks to be at full health following a missed 2021 season due to his troublesome ankle, but it remains to be seen if it will be Jameis Winston, who is reportedly playing through multiple back fractures, or Andy Dalton throwing him the ball in a Week 3 road divisional matchup versus the Panthers next Sunday.

Olave secured five of 13 targets for 80 yards in the Saints' 20-10 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Olave's yardage and target tallies led the Saints on the afternoon, making it a solid encore performance for the rookie after a 3-41 effort in Week 1 that included a two-point conversion catch. Olave showed off his speed on his game-long 51-yard grab, but with Jameis Winston revealed to be playing through multiple back fractures, it remains to be seen if it will be the latter or Andy Dalton targeting Olave in a Week 3 road battle against the Panthers.

Kirk caught all six of his targets for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Colts.

Kirk didn't replicate the volume from his spectacular Week 1 performance, but he still turned in an impressive showing. He found the end zone on receptions of 10 and five yards while also chipping in lengthier gains of 26 and 21 yards in between. It's still early, but Kirk appears to be in line for a breakout season as he has tallied 12 receptions for 195 yards and two touchdowns in his first two games with Jacksonville.

Cooper caught nine of 10 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets.

Cooper bounced back from a quiet Browns debut in which he mustered only 17 yards. He scored from six yards out in the second quarter and had at least double any teammate's total in both targets and catches. This was the role Cooper was brought in to play, and he should continue to function as Jacoby Brissett's top receiver Thursday against the Steelers.

Wilson caught eight of 14 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns. He also rushed once for minus-2 yards.

Wilson tied the game at seven with his first NFL touchdown in the second quarter, scoring from two yards out. He stayed down clutching his back after an awkward landing in the second half, but he promptly returned to the game and continued adding to his breakout performance. Wilson led the Jets in catches, targets and receiving yards, but he saved his biggest play for last, scoring the game-winning 15-yard touchdown over the middle in the final minute. The rookie first-round pick has quickly emerged as the favorite target for Joe Flacco, who's expected to continue filling in for Zach Wilson (knee) under center in Week 3 against the Bengals.

Bateman brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 42-38 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Bateman found the end zone for the second time in as many games to open the season when he got wide open for a 75-yard touchdown grab in the second quarter. He ultimately led Baltimore in receiving yardage on the afternoon, and he heads into a Week 3 road battle versus the Patriots with plenty of momentum.

Sills caught three of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.

Sills enjoyed the best game of his brief career while teammate Kenny Golladay barely saw the field. In fact, Sills trailed only Richie James for the Giants' lead in receiving yards. With Golladay and Kadarius Toney hardly contributing to begin the campaign, Sills' stock is trending in the right direction ahead of Week 3's clash with the Cowboys.

James caught five of six targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.

James led New York in receiving yards while trailing only Sterling Shepard in catches and targets. The former seventh-round pick has now topped 50 yards in consecutive games to begin the season. With Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney barely contributing thus far, James has taken advantage of his opportunities, helping his stock ahead of Week 3's matchup versus the Cowboys.

Jeudy was forced out of Sunday's game against the Texans with a shoulder injury.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Jeudy caught one of his three targets for 11 yards and ran once for one yard. In his absence, Montrell Washington, Tyrie Cleveland and Kendall Hinton are next up for WR snaps behind top option Courtland Sutton.
