Grant secured his lone target for two yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

Grant appears to be clearly behind DeVante Parker, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford for the time being. Tight end Mike Gesicki also figures to regularly operate ahead of Grant. His big-play abilities and usage in the return game provide fair fantasy value in leagues that award points for special-teams yardage, but outside of such formats, Grant doesn't warrant much weekly consideration.

Brown caught both his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

Both grabs came in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys mounted their improbable comeback, and while Brown's second reception went into the books as a 20-yard gain, it would have been much longer had his run after the catch not been wiped out by a penalty on CeeDee Lamb. Brown missed all of last season while recovering from knee surgery, but he's healthy now and is pushing Cedrick Wilson for the No. 4 spot on the Dallas depth chart at WR.

Gallup caught two of five targets for 58 yards in Sunday's comeback win over the Falcons.

He was fifth in targets on the day for the Cowboys, as Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Ezekiel Elliott and even tight end Dalton Schultz all saw more looks from Dak Prescott. Gallup did make his receptions count, however, hauling in a 20-yard pass late in the first half to set up a field goal and then making a leaping 38-yard grab along the sideline late in the fourth quarter that eventually led to Prescott's third rushing TD of the game. One of Dallas' trio of wide receivers is likely going to be on the back burner in any given week, but it won't necessarily be Gallup every time. He'll look to get more involved Week 3 against a Seahawks secondary that just gave up 397 passing yards to Cam Newton.

Washington had three receptions for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.

The third year wideout was targeted five times compared to three last week, but he is still behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson on Pittsburgh's wide receiver depth chart. Even with a potentially high-scoring game coming up against Houston in Week 3, it is difficult to insert Washington into your fantasy lineups.

Sims caught three of five targets for 53 yards in a 30-15 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

The usage was a bit more promising than the stat line suggests, as both incompletions were on downfield throws and Sims also had two would-be targets wiped out by defensive penalties. On a less promising note, he lost a fumble on a punt return, setting up the Cardinals for a 14-point lead early in the game. Sims played 91 percent of snaps on offense, in addition to handling both punt and kick returns. He appears locked in as Washington's No. 2 receiver ahead of a Week 3 trip to Cleveland.

Cobb caught five of six targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens.

With Will Fuller missing time in the first half due to a hamstring injury and inexplicably not being thrown to upon his return, Cobb and fellow newcomer Brandin Cooks (eight targets, five catches) led the wide receiver corps in the loss. It was a good sign that quarterback Deshaun Watson has developed some chemistry with his new targets, but that usage could be contingent upon Fuller's health.

Ward caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.

After drawing seven targets in the opener, Ward saw just one look in this one despite getting the start. With Jalen Reagor healthy, the 25-year-old's role was due to diminish. It will likely tick back up again if there are any injuries to Reagor or DeSean Jackson, though Alshon Jeffery is likely to work his way back into the mix at some point.

Davis caught his only target for a six-yard score in Sunday's win over Miami.

The fourth-round rookie was given a carry as well, but it went for no yards, so other than the touchdown it was a pretty empty stat line for the Central Florida product. Still, the TD -- Davis' first as a pro -- made a difference in the game and emphasized that he has become the clear-cut No. 4 wideout in his first pro season. He'll see only occasional looks for now, but if anything were to happen to Stefon Diggs or John Brown, Davis would likely have a prominent role in the offense.

Reagor caught all four of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.

Reagor led all Eagles pass-catchers in receiving yards in the first half with 38 but drew just one more target over the latter half of the contest. He had one other opportunity negated by penalty. The rookie first-round pick will be a boom-bust option in Week 3 at home against the Bengals.

Watson secured two of three targets for 48 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

The third-year pro was expected to see at least a slight bump in workload with the absence of Chris Godwin (concussion), and although that didn't truly materialize, Watson did make good use of the opportunities he was given. The 2018 fifth-round pick secured a 36-yard pass for one of his receptions and ultimately checked in second in receiving yardage on the team to Mike Evans. Watson could again be poised for potential expanded opportunity in Week 3 against the Broncos on the road if Godwin is forced to miss that contest, but as was evident Sunday, his teammate's absence doesn't necessarily lock in a notable increase in targets.
