Boykin caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Although his offensive production hasn't showed it, Boykin garnered more opportunities in Week 2 by playing 38 snaps (48 percent) compared to just 18 snaps (23 percent) in Week 1. Chris Moore and Seth Roberts both suffered sizable hits to their respective workloads as a result, signalling that Boykin may be pulling away as the No. 3 wide receiver. With an expected shootout on tap in Week 3 versus the Chiefs, Boykin should have a chance to establish himself and could be a cheap option in DFS, and he's worth a stash in deeper season-long leagues.

Moore logged seven snaps on offense and 13 snaps on special teams, but was unable to record a statistic in Sunday's win over Arizona.

The fact that Moore only saw seven snaps Sunday is interesting considering he played 32 snaps (42 percent) in the season opener against Miami. Regardless, the 26-year-old has yet to even be targeted and carries very little fantasy value.

Bellamy is expected to be the Jets' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday versus the Patriots since Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is unlikely to play, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

Thomas was injured early in Monday's loss to the Browns, so Bellamy was deployed and played 45 of 66 possible offensive snaps. His production was minimal, though, as Bellamy only had two targets in Monday's loss to the Browns, catching one pass for five yards but dropping a well-thrown ball from Luke Falk. Bellamy will now have a full week of practice as the No. 3 wideout with Falk under center, but the fantasy upside remains low for the 30-year-old, whose best season accounted for 24 catches for 376 yards and a score in 2017.

Bellamy caught one of two targets for five yards in Monday's 23-3 loss to Cleveland.

The ball Bellamy didn't catch was more notable than his short reception, as third-string quarterback Luke Falk delivered a strong pass to a wide open Bellamy over the middle, only to have it clank off the receiver's hands. That drop led to a Jets punt from deep in their own territory rather than another first down late in the first half, leaving enough time for Cleveland to tack on a field goal before the break. Bellamy has come as advertised, featuring heavily on special teams while failing to move the needle on offense.

McKenzie caught both of his targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Giants. He also had one carry for four yards.

McKenzie was on the field for just 17 offensive plays Sunday, but he certainly made them count, frustrating the Giants defense much of the afternoon with the Bills constantly using him as a jet-sweeper or fake jet-sweeper. While that should stay a part of the offense until teams start to figure it out, the speedy McKenzie probably won't see enough volume -- especially once Andre Roberts returns -- to be a meaningful fantasy guy outside of someone that takes away production from the Bills' regulars on offense.

Foster was targeted twice in Sunday's win over the Giants but did not haul in either and has now been shut out in both of the Bills' wins.

Foster did see the field for 36 percent of the offensive snaps Sunday, but that's about the only decent news for a guy that had a breakthrough season in 2018. A toe injury prevented him from presenting any form of challenge for Zay Jones' starting spot this summer. He's pretty far behind Jones, John Brown and Cole Beasley in the pecking order, while Andre Roberts could even steal some depth looks when healthy. Foster has all kinds of speed -- as we saw with last season's 20.0 yardage average on 27 catches -- but he's not worth owning unless injuries start to push him back up the depth chart.

Gage was targeted once but did not record a reception during Sunday's 24-20 win against Philadelphia.

Gage was active for a key Week 2 showdown against the Eagles but only played 14 percent of the offensive snaps after suffering a concussion during the season opener against Minnesota. He'll continue to serve as Atlanta's No. 4 or 5 option at wideout in a Week 3 road trip to Indianapolis, as the Falcons take on a Colts defense that held Marcus Mariota to 154 passing yards in its last time out after getting lit up by Philip Rivers for 333 yards and three touchdowns the previous game.

Montgomery rushed three times for a total of 25 yards, while catching all three of his targets for 15 receiving yards during Monday's 23-3 loss to Cleveland.

Montgomery has established himself as the Jets' No. 2 running back in the early going of 2019, but from a workload perspective, that is not saying much. Le'Veon Bell has dominated the running back touches as would be expected, fielding 88.4 percent of the carries and 86.4 percent of the targets among the position group. Upcoming in Week 3, Montgomery is in line to once again serve as the change-of-pace option, as the Jets face a Patriots defense that has yet to give up a rushing score -- or a touchdown of any kind for that matter -- through its first two games of 2019.

Arcega-Whiteside played 75 snaps in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons.

The spike in playing time was a direct result of the Eagles' top two receivers being forced out with leg injuries. Unfortunately for the rookie, it didn't translate to production, as he brought in only one of his four targets for four yards in the contest while Mack Hollins went for five catches for 50 yards on eight targets. If Alshon Jeffery (calf) or DeSean Jackson (groin) is forced to miss time, the Stanford product would likely be in line for increased snaps once again Week 3 at home against the Lions, but at least for now, he seems to be behind Hollins on Carson Wentz's personal depth chart.

Hollins hauled in five of his eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Falcons.

Hollins was forced into duty as both Alshon Jeffery (calf) and DeSean Jackson (groin) exited early. While rookie J.J. Arcega-Whiteside played six more snaps than the product's 69, Hollins was far more productive and saw twice as many targets. Jeffery's and Jackson's injuries are not thought of as serious, but if either is forced to miss time, there is a good chance Hollins continues to see the field a lot Week 3 at home against the Lions.
