Bears' Allen Robinson: Disappointing performance
Robinson caught three passes for 33 yards in the Bears' 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Even though the Bears played conservatively in the second half while protecting a double-digit lead, Robinson still saw nine targets, which was six more than any of his teammates. Although he was busy, a number of erratic passes from Mitch Trubisky led to multiple missed connections and a poor fantasy performance. However, with upcoming matchups against the Falcons and Colts, expect Robinson to return to the levels of performance that fantasy managers expected when selecting him on draft day.

DJ Chark WR | ATL
Jaguars' DJ Chark: Leads team with 84 receiving yards
Chark caught all four of his targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.
The 2018 second-round pick led Jacksonville in receiving yards, but his four targets ranked tied-fourth among the team's pass catchers. Chark is off to somewhat of a slow start, notching seven catches for 109 yards and one touchdown through two games after totaling 1,008 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in a breakout 2019 campaign,

Marquez Valdes-Scantling WR | LAC
Packers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Three catches as Adams hurts hammy
Valdes-Scantling caught three of seven targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions.
Valdes-Scantling was one target and four yards short of Aaron Jones' team-leading totals as No. 1 wide receiver Davante Adams left the game with a hamstring injury. If Adams can't go in Week 3 against the Saints, Valdes-Scantling would be an enticing fantasy option as Aaron Rodgers' top target on the outside.

Robbie Chosen WR | WAS
Panthers' Robby Anderson: Second straight 100-yard effort
Anderson secured nine of 10 targets for 109 yards in the Panthers' 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Anderson was able to clear the century mark in receiving yardage for the second time in as many games in a Panthers uniform, once again displaying excellent chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater while pacing all pass catchers in receptions. The speedster did fumble early in the third quarter after a seven-yard catch, but Carolina got the ball right back on a Donte Jackson interception a play later. Anderson now has an elite 83.3 percent catch rate on his first 18 targets of the campaign, giving him no shortage of fantasy value and momentum heading into a Week 3 road interconference matchup against the Chargers.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' D.J. Moore: Explodes in Week 2 loss
Moore secured eight of 13 targets for 120 yards in the Panthers' 31-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
A week after an underwhelming season-opening effort that saw him post a 4-54-0 line, Moore once again saw plenty of attention heaped on him by new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. To the delight of fantasy managers, the results were markedly different, with Moore posting game-high totals in receiving yardage and targets while tying for second in receptions. Through two contests, Moore has now logged a robust 22 targets, an encouraging sign for the trust and chemistry he's manufactured with Bridgewater. Moore will look to build on Sunday's strong effort in a Week 3 interconference road battle versus the Chargers.

Cooper Kupp WR | SEA
Rams' Cooper Kupp: Goes for 100 yards in win
Kupp brought in five of six targets for 81 yards, adding two carries for 19 yards in the Rams' 37-19 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Kupp improved on his 40-yard performance from Week 1, going for 100 total yards and leading the team in targets, receptions and receiving yards in the process. He still hasn't found the end zone in 2020, but Kupp should continue to see a healthy amount of targets moving forward as one of the top options in the Rams' passing attack. His upside may be diminished compared to 2019, as Jared Goff is on pace for far fewer than the 626 passes he attempted a year ago.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Clears century mark in win
Evans brought in seven of 10 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 31-17 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
After a rough Week 1 where he managed a hamstring injury and finished with just a 1-4-1 line, Evans bounced back with a couple of splash plays on his way to his first 100-yard effort with Tom Brady as his battery mate. The sixth-year wideout recorded a game-high 50-yard grab, and he also connected with Brady for a 23-yard touchdown catch in the latter portion of the first quarter for Tampa Bay's second touchdown of the day. Evans paced the pass-catching corps in receptions, receiving yardage and targets, unsurprising given Chris Godwin's (concussion) absence. Evans will look to thrive in a Week 3 road battle against the Broncos that should present a tougher matchup for the Bucs' passing game.

Darius Slayton WR | IND
Giants' Darius Slayton: Musters up 33 yards
Slayton hauled in three of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.
Slayton was outstanding in Week 1 with a 6-101-2 line, but he registered a floor game in Week 2, as the Giants struggled to generate much offense. The 2019 fifth-round pick is a boom-or-bust player by nature of his deep targets, but it is a bit concerning that he only received two targets before the Giants' final drive. He'll look for a correction next week when the 49ers come to town.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Packers' Davante Adams: Leaves with hamstring issue
Adams suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday's game against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Adams missed the Packers' third possession of the second half, after which the team termed him questionable to return. If he doesn't retake the field, he'll end Week 2 with three catches on as many targets for 36 yards. This injury leaves the team with three healthy wide receivers (Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Malik Taylor).

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Won't return to Sunday's contest
Sutton (knee/leg cramping) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Prior to his exit from Sunday's game, Sutton -- who had been dealing with a shoulder issue -- caught three of his six targets for 66 yards. The Broncos will finish the day with a wideout corps comprised of Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton.
