  • DJ Moore WR | BUF

    Panthers' DJ Moore: Scores in narrow defeat

    Moore caught three of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

    Moore led the Panthers in targets and receiving yards while scoring his team's lone touchdown Sunday as well. To open his account for this season, Moore hauled in a 16-yard pass in the back of the end zone to begin the third quarter. While that contribution boosted his performance, Carolina's passing attack is yet to take off under Baker Mayfield, leaving Moore with identical catch, target and receiving yardage totals in Weeks 1 and 2.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | ARI

    Ravens' Devin Duvernay: Exits game with concussion

    Duvernay was forced out of Sunday's 42-38 loss to the Dolphins with a concussion.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Duvernay caught both of his targets for 42 yards and returned a kickoff for a 103-yard touchdown. The wideout will now look to progress through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of next weekend's contest against the Patriots.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Double-digit targets

    Meyers caught nine passes for 95 yards on 13 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Meyers was less explosive than Nelson Agholor (six catches for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets) but more than doubled Agholor's target volume. It's a reminder that Meyers is more of a floor player than a ceiling one, but if he keeps getting double-digit targets the truly big game will happen eventually.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Draws 10 targets in Week 2

    Johnson hauled in six of 10 targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Patriots.

    Johnson saw plenty of deep looks during Sunday's matchup, but he didn't have a catch longer than 17 yards and was unable to reach the end zone during the low-scoring game. The 2019 third-rounder averaged over 10 yards per reception in each of his first three professional seasons, but he's been held to just 8.2 yards per catch over his first two games catching passes from Mitch Trubisky. However, it's been encouraging to see Johnson's target share remain high early in the 2022 campaign.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Remains out Sunday

    Wilson (ribs) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Wilson was quickly ruled out after exiting the Dolphins' game against the Ravens on Sunday, thus limiting him to one target without a reception in Week 2. Since the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, it will be worth monitoring the 26-year-old's status on Wednesday's injury report.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Big game in Week 2

    Agholor caught six passes for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

    Agholor's snaps trailed DeVante Parker and Jakobi Meyers in Week 1, but the speedy wideout certainly made a good case for a bigger role going forward. Agholor was arguably the player of the game for the Patriots in their narrow 17-14 victory, and he's clearly New England's best big-play threat so long as Tyquan Thornton is out. The battered Ravens secondary will have to keep a close eye on Agholor in Week 3.

  • Dolphins' Cedrick Wilson: Injures ribs

    Wilson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson did not record a catch on one target. Meanwhile, top wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill were busy in Week 2, working as QB Tua Tagovailoa's primary options in the passing game.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Takes seat again in Week 2

    Tolbert (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    For a second consecutive game to begin his career, the rookie third-round pick won't be available to a Cowboys offense that's without fellow pass catchers Michael Gallup (knee, inactive) and James Washington (foot, IR). The decision to delay Tolbert's pro debut is an interesting one, especially with Dak Prescott (thumb) sidelined for the foreseeable future. In any case, interim starting quarterback Cooper Rush will have CeeDee Lamb, Noah Brown, Dennis Houston, Simi Fehoko and KaVontae Turpin available at wide receiver Week 2.

  • Texans' Phillip Dorsett: Inactive in Week 2

    Dorsett (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 clash against the Broncos.

    After logging four snaps in the Week 1 tie with the Colts and failing to come up with his lone target, Dorsett won't see the field in Week 2. The veteran speedster's inactive status locks in No. 4 receiver duties for Chris Conley versus Denver.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Active for Week 2

    Higgins (concussion/personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Higgins sustained a concussion during the Bengals' season-opening loss to the Steelers, but he'll be in uniform Sunday, and barring any in-game setbacks, is in line to be a key Week 2 target for QB Joe Burrow alongside fellow wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd. Prior to his exit from last weekend's contest, Higgins logged 26 snaps en route to catching both of his targets for 27 yards.
