Claypool caught all three of his targets for 88 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 26-21 win over the Broncos.

Claypool provided one of the highlights of the day when he caught a deep pass from Ben Roethlisberger and raced down the sideline for an 84-yard touchdown. The rookie made an impressive deep catch in the season opener and appears to already have developed a downfield rapport with Roethlisberger. He was also used on a couple of shorter passes around the line of scrimmage, indicating that the coaching staff is interested in getting him the ball in multiple ways. There are still many other mouths to feed among Steelers skill position players, but Claypool is at least proving himself capable of delivering when his number is called. He will remain a big-play dependent option in next Sunday's matchup with the Texans.

Pittman caught four of six targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings.

Parris Campbell (knee) left the game in the first half, opening up some looks for Pittman in the passing game. In fact, he tied for the team lead in targets, though apart from his long of 16 yards he only made smaller gains. Jack Doyle (knee/ankle) also missed this game, and if the Colts are sill missing notable skill players next Sunday against the Jets, Pittman could benefit again from a larger role.

Lamb hauled in six of nine targets for 106 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.

The first-round rookie wideout had an encouraging yet modest NFL debut last week, registering 59 receiving yards on five catches. However, Week 2 marked his breakout. Lamb and Amari Cooper torched the depleted Falcons secondary, combining for a dozen catches and more than 200 yards on the afternoon. Lamb contributed an enormous play in the waning stages of Sunday's contest, tearing off a 24-yard gain on Dallas' final drive to set up Greg Zuerlein with a 46-yard field goal for the walkoff win. The 21-year-old wideout carries momentum heading into a Week 3 matchup against a Seahawks defense that allowed three different wideouts to go for nine catches and 110-plus receiving yards in its season opener.

Jeudy caught four of seven targets for 62 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Steelers.

Jeudy tied for the team lead in both targets and receptions while finishing second in receiving yards. He held his own against a tough Pittsburgh secondary and improved on his 56-yard output from Week 1. Most notably, all of Jeudy's production came after Jeff Driskel replaced Drew Lock (shoulder), so the sudden change under center doesn't appear to have affected him negatively. The rookie is off to a solid, albeit unspectacular, start to his NFL career and will look to take another step forward in next Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.

Hopkins caught eight of nine targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-15 win over Washington.

While he wasn't able to replicate the massive target volume he saw in his Cards debut, Hopkins was still Kyler Murray's favorite option on the day and grabbed his first TD in an Arizona uniform in the first quarter to open the scoring. Hopkins will look to keep rolling in Week 3 at home against a Lions defense that's surrendered 69 points through its first two games.

Humphries caught five of his six targets for 48 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 win against Jacksonville.

Humphries' production has picked up in the early stages of the 2020 campaign following a disappointing, injury-plagued debut season with the Titans last year. Before being sidelined with an ankle injury Weeks 14 through 17, Humphries averaged a shade over three catches and 31 receiving yards per game during 2019. Humphries already has 11 receptions and 95 combined receiving yards on the young season, and he's one score away from tying his touchdown total from all of last year. The 27-year-old wideout is set up well going into Week 3, facing a matchup against a Vikings defense that has surrendered 578 passing yards through its first two outings of 2020.

Davis caught three of his five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 win against the Jaguars.

With A.J. Brown (knee) ruled out for Week 2, Davis tied Jonnu Smith for second on the team in targets as part of a balanced passing attack for Tennessee. The Titans characteristically ran the ball 34 times Sunday, while five different players posted at least two catches on Ryan Tannehill's 18 completions. Davis is off to an encouraging start to the campaign with 10 catches and 137 receiving yards through his first two outings, and Week 3 presents an enticing matchup as he goes up against a Vikings defense that has already allowed four different pass catchers to go for 60-plus receiving yards this season.

McLaurin caught seven of 10 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-15 loss to the Cardinals.

He caught a fourth-quarter pass from Dwayne Haskins on a slant route and took it 24 yards for Washington's first TD, but McLaurin was his team's most dangerous weapon all day. The second-year receiver should see high volume again in Week 3 against a Browns defense that just allowed Tyler Boyd to rack up seven catches for 72 yards and a score.

Wims caught two passes for 17 yards in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

Although he caught a touchdown pass last week, Wims has been targeted three times over the first two games of the season, and unless his role in the offense increases, he's not a recommended option for fantasy lineups.

Cooper snagged six of nine targets for 100 receiving yards during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.

The four-time Pro Bowler was held to limited practice participation Thursday while nursing a bruised foot, but that certainly wasn't evident on the field Sunday as Cooper carved up the Falcons' porous secondary. Atlanta's defense was left depleted without cornerback Kendall Sheffield (foot) in the lineup, and Cooper was able to capitalize with his first 100-yard showing since Week 10 of last season. The 2015 No. 4 overall draft choice was shaky during the fantasy playoffs last December in posting sub-25-yard receiving outings in Weeks 15 and 17, but so far this season Cooper is off to a solid start with 80-plus receiving yards in each of his first two appearances. He and the Cowboys' prolific passing attack now travel to Seattle in Week 3 to take on a Seahawks pass defense that surrendered 450 passing yards to Atlanta in its season debut.
