Sherfield had one reception (three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.

Sherfield had a strong debut with San Francisco last week, and he was rewarded with a bump up to third on the depth chart (34 percent of offensive snaps). The 25-year-old showed some promise during the preseason, so he is a name that could surface in the future if a larger role on offense opens up. Currently, Sherfield won't see the kind of volume necessary for most fantasy managers to rely on.

Jennings caught both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.

Jennings ran a levels concept with tight end George Kittle, taking the under route and benefitting from the defense drifting towards his teammate as the wideout took the ball to the house. While this was a big day for the 24-year-old, keep in mind that he logged just six offensive snaps, so he is unlikely to find the end zone very often with the current depth chart configuration.

Aiyuk had one reception (two targets) for six yards in Sunday's 17-11 win over the Eagles.

Aiyuk returned to starting opposite Deebo Samuel after falling to fourth on the depth chart in Week 1. The 2020 first-round pick logged 54 percent of offensive snaps after being limited to just 30 percent last game. Despite the increase in playing time, Aiyuk didn't get much attention offensively. Head coach Kyle Shanahan claimed that Aiyuk's role reduction was due to a lingering hamstring injury, but the wideout has been a full participant in practices for two weeks now. It is unclear when Aiyuk will exit the "doghouse" and return to a prominent role on San Francisco's offense, but fantasy managers should definitely wait to deploy him until we see some evidence that he is truly back.

Cooper sustained a bruised rib during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Cooper secured three of five targets for 24 yards before injuring his ribs late in Sunday's contest. Coach Mike McCarthy said "we'll see Wednesday" about an update on Cooper's health, possibly hinting that the wideout will undergo further medical evaluation. Cooper has an extra day to get healthy ahead of the Cowboys' Week 3 matchup against the Eagles on Monday Night Football, but for now his status looks uncertain. With Michael Gallup (calf) already guaranteed to miss Week 3, an absence by Cooper would leave CeeDee Lamb as Dak Prescott's unquestioned top target.

St. Brown has been elevated to the Packers' roster for Monday's game against the Lions.

The oft-injured wide receiver is currently healthy and could get an opportunity to play Monday against the Lions, though St. Brown is unlikely to fill a prominent role. He failed to make the Packers' roster out of camp but has remained around the team on the practice squad.

Collins (shoulder) is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Collins has compiled two catches through two games, so the rookie third-round pick's absence is unlikely to have much of an effect on Houston's offense. Anthony Miller should see an uptick in playing time while Collins recovers, though Brandin Cooks remains the only member of the Texans' receiving corps that's expected to make a significant impact on a weekly basis.

Zaccheaus caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers.

Zaccheaus was more involved after a goose egg in the season opener, but he still finished sixth on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, with all five players ahead of him catching at least five passes. With Atlanta involving its running backs and tight ends in the passing game, the No. 3 wide receiver's volume will remain capped barring injuries to some of his teammates.

Gage caught five of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 48-25 loss to Tampa Bay.

Gage was in and out of the game due to an ankle injury, and the injury may have played a role in his inability to create separation downfield; his longest gain went for just eight yards. Atlanta's new No. 2 wide receiver following the offseason departure of Julio Jones has struggled to take advantage of his prominent role thus far, as quarterback Matt Ryan has spread the ball out to tight ends and running backs behind top wideout Calvin Ridley. Gage will look to put his slow start behind him on the road against the Giants in Week 3.

Johnson failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.

The 25-year-old was targeted on a deep ball during the fourth quarter by Trevor Lawrence, a pass which was intercepted. Laviska Shenault's shoulder injury appears to be a minor concern, so Johnson will likely continue seeing limited offensive opportunities.

Agnew returned two kickoffs for 120 yards and a touchdown and one punt for two yards during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.

Agnew provided Jacksonville with its second touchdown of the day during the fourth quarter with his 102-yard kick return. He played only four offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the contest. The 26-year-old hasn't been targeted through two games and should continue to see most of his opportunities in the return game.
