Marshall caught all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over the Saints.

Marshall has hauled in three passes in both of his appearances as a pro, managing only modest yardage from his looks so far. On the bright side, the rookie played just over half of Carolina's offensive snaps Sunday, so he'll hope similar involvement enables him make a breakthrough in this Thursday's matchup against the Texans.

Schwartz did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Texans.

Schwartz had an impressive NFL debut in Week 1, catching three balls for 69 yards as part of the fill-in crew for the injured Odell Beckham (knee), but an early mistake appeared to take him out of the plan Week 2. The rookie wideout failed to finish running a route, which led to a Justin Reid interception and an injury to quarterback Baker Mayfield's non-throwing shoulder after the QB had to tackle Reid. Mayfield didn't miss any plays -- his dislocated shoulder was popped back in, and he was ready for the next series -- but the turnover led to a Houston touchdown, forcing the Browns the come from behind. Schwartz played a similar number of snaps as he did the previous week, but Mayfield may have lost confidence in him following the interception.

Peoples-Jones caught his lone target for 15 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Texans.

Two plays into the game, the Browns lost wide receiver Jarvis Landry to an MCL injury, opening the door to a bigger role for Peoples-Jones. However, the second-year wideout fumbled away his lone catch on Houston's 27-yard line and didn't get another target the rest of the way. The Browns leaned on their running backs and tight ends after that. Thus far, Peoples-Jones has two targets and two catches through two games. More was anticipated from him, particularly with Odell Beckham (knee) inactive Weeks 1 and 2, but an extended absence for Landry would provide him with more opportunities.

Reagor caught just two of his five targets for five yards in Sunday's 17-11 loss to the 49ers.

Two catches were enough for a share of the team lead on the day along with four other Eagles. The important number for Reagor is his five targets, however, which represented the second-highest total on the team for the second week in a row. He now has 11 through two games this season, fewer only than DeVonta Smith's 15.

Hardman had five receptions (eight targets) for 55 yards in Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Ravens.

Hardman saw a huge uptick in targets due to the Ravens constantly doubling Tyreek Hill for the majority of the contest. The 23-year-old Hardman could have had a much bigger fantasy impact if Patrick Mahomes didn't uncharacteristically overthrow him on a would-be deep touchdown in the first half. Hardman has the pure speed to put up some big numbers in a given week, but he remains behind both Hill and Travis Kelce in the pecking order, so there will be some inconsistency as the season progresses. The Chargers are up next for Hardman and the Chiefs next Sunday.

Brown (ankle) secured six of 10 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-35 win over the Chiefs.

Brown continued his strong start to the 2021 campaign with his first 100-yard game of the year and his second trip to the end zone. The 24-year-old was nursing a sore ankle during practice this week, but he appeared to be fully healthy when he burned the Chiefs' secondary and caught Lamar Jackson's incredible leaping pass for a touchdown. Hollywood is starting to finally look like the top target for Jackson after a couple of years of inconsistency. He will look to keep that going in a soft matchup against the Lions on Sunday.

Hill had just three receptions (four targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-35 loss to the Ravens. He added 15 yards on one carry.

The Ravens came into this contest with a clear gameplan to stop Hill from beating them deep by constantly doubling the wideout, and they succeeded in that endeavor. They weren't able to stop Patrick Mahomes or the rest of Kansas City's receivers for the majority of the contest, but their plan ended up thwarting Hill's fantasy managers' plans of a repeat monster performance. The speedster will not be held in check like this every week so long as Mahomes is under center, so chalk this up to a rare dud and roll Hill out there with confidence against the Chargers next Sunday.

Brown recorded three receptions on nine targets for 43 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Seahawks.

Brown led the the team with nine targets but was out-produced by Julio Jones by 85 yards. He was particularly inefficient on passes deep down the field, including an uncharacteristic drop after he beat his defender on a double move. Instead, most of Brown's yardage came on short passes that required him to do the majority of his work after the catch. Brown will look to turn the page on this disappointing performance, and his targets indicate that there should be no concern regarding his role in the offense moving forward.

Lamb caught eight of nine targets for 81 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Chargers. He also gained 13 rushing yards on his lone carry.

The second-year receiver was the only Cowboy to see more than five targets or catch more than three passes on the afternoon, and he hauled in more than double the yardage of any of his teammates. It was a quiet day overall for the team's aerial attack as offensive coordinator Kellen Moore focused on getting the Dallas running game going, but Lamb has so far been matchup-proof in 2021 heading into a Week 3 clash with the Eagles.

Metcalf caught six of 11 targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.

Metcalf's longest catch of the day went for 16 yards, while both Tyler Lockett and Freddie Swain recorded receptions of more than 60 yards. It's worth noting that head coach Pete Carroll said Metcalf was "sore" during the game, and that may have factored into a lower depth of target than usual. Nevertheless, it's promising that he received double-digit targets. The Seahawks draw a favorable Week 3 matchup against the Vikings, who have allowed 661 passing yards and five passing touchdowns through two games.
