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.

Crowder corralled four of six targets for 40 yards during Monday's 23-3 loss to Cleveland.

Crowder came back to earth after a supremely bizarre, yet lucrative Week 1 in fantasy, becoming the first player in NFL history with 14-plus receptions and fewer than 100 receiving yards in a single game. His Week 2 performance more resembled his typical per-game output during his Redskins days, but the absence of Sam Darnold (illness) likely negatively impacted the Jets' ability to produce gains in the passing game and sustain drives. Up next, Crowder and the Gang Green receiving corps will face a New England pass defense that is yet to permit an 80-yard receiver this season.

Anderson caught four of six targets for 81 yards during Monday's 23-3 loss to the Browns.

There are few fantasy commodities with a wider range of outcomes than Anderson, who had 90-plus receiving yards or a touchdown in five games last season, but only averaged 30.7 yards in his other nine outings. Anderson was among the lone bright spots for a sluggish Jets offense on Monday night, logging gains of 36, 20, 15 and 10 yards after the team was forced to turn to its third-string quarterback with the injury to Trevor Siemian (ankle). Anderson's upcoming matchup will be challenging, going up against a Patriots defense that's held opponents to fewer than 420 total passing yards, with zero touchdowns allowed and five interceptions forced between Weeks 1 and 2.

Beckham hauled in six of 10 targets, amassing 161 yards and one touchdown catch during Monday's 23-3 win against the Jets.

Returning to New York for the first time since being traded to Cleveland in March, Beckham predictably put on a show under the bright lights, starting with a brilliant one-handed snag that helped set up a Browns field goal on the opening drive. It was a late Le'Veon Bell fumble that proved to be the last nail in the coffin for Gang Green on Monday night, but Beckham's 89-yard catch-and-run in the third quarter was also a huge play that helped Cleveland push its advantage to three scores. Week 3 presents another prime-time matchup Sunday night against the Rams, as Beckham and the Browns' receiving corps face a Los Angeles defense that held New Orleans to 203 passing yards its last time out.

Sutton caught four of seven passes for 40 yards during Sunday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.

Those flying high on Sutton's big-time Week 1 were probably disappointed to see Sutton wait until the fourth quarter before linking with Joe Flacco, but the game still managed to provide some promise. Facing do-or-die on fourth-and-10 and fourth-and-3 during Denver's final drive, Flacco looked Sutton's way for back-to-back conversions. Emmanuel Sanders is still the go-to target on the team -- and possessor of both of the Broncos' touchdown receptions thus far this season -- but Sutton is closing in fast.

Berrios (hamstring) is active and will play in Monday's game against Cleveland, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

Berrios came into the game with the questionable tag due to the injury, but as evidenced by this news, he's good to go. The 2018 sixth-round pick worked exclusively on special teams during the team's Week 1 loss and should be in line for a similar workload for Monday's contest, especially considering fellow wideout Demaryius Thomas (hamstring) is also active.

Bourne had one catch for four yards in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

Bourne was limited to just one catch for the second consecutive week, and he finished last in terms of wide receiver snaps despite the game being a blowout. It seems like the 24-year-old is simply a depth wideout for this team until someone goes down with injury.

Smith-Schuster will be working with Mason Rudolph moving forward due to Ben Roethlisberger's season-ending elbow injury, Mark Madden of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Roethlisberger was removed from Sunday's loss to the Seahawks after noticeably clutching at his right throwing elbow a number of times. An ensuing MRI revealed that the long-time Steeler required surgery, ruling him out for the rest of the season. His replacement is Rudolph, who connected with Smith-Schuster on a 45-yard completion in the third quarter Sunday en route to the wideout racking up five catches (on eight targets) for 84 yards. While Smith-Schuster's stock drops slightly, he remains the best pass-catching option in this offense by a long shot, and there should be little hesitation starting him on a weekly basis.

James caught one of four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

Deebo Samuel was the wideout receiving all of the headlines for his big game Sunday, but James actually finished third in playing time (46 percent on offense). The 23-year-old continues to occupy the starting slot receiver role until Trent Taylor (foot) returns, but with just two catches through two games, James isn't involved enough to warrant much fantasy consideration.
