The injury that knocked Smith out of Sunday's game against the Rams was to his ankle, and coach Sean Payton said after the game that Smith will require X-rays, Luke Johnson of USA Today reports.

There should be greater clarification on Smith's timetable once the results of the exam are known. His injury was just one of many setbacks in what was a rough day for the Saints -- quarterback Drew Brees had to leave the game with a hand injury and New Orleans got the short end of the stick with yet another officiating blunder in what turned into a 27-9 loss.

Robinson caught four passes for 41 yards yards in Chicago's Week 2 victory over the Broncos.

After a fantastic Week 1 performance, the Chicago coaching staff took the ball out of Mitch Trubisky's hands and let the running game take over, which impacted Robinson's fantasy day, though he did lead the team with seven targets. Another problem he faced was that Denver placed their top quarterback, Chris Harris, on him for most of the afternoon, which certainly didn't give his quarterback an easy target to throw to. The Bears will need to throw more in most of their upcoming games, so Robinson should settle in as a steady fantasy option.

Samuel caught five of seven targets for 87 yards and a touchdown and added seven yards on two carries during Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

After a poor debut in which he lost a fumble, the rookie came into his own Sunday. Samuel caught his first career touchdown on a quick, two-yard out cut early in the third quarter, putting the 49ers up by three scores. He also finished the game with a team-high seven targets. He'll look to keep improving against a disappointing 0-2 Steelers squad.

Goodwin caught all three of his targets for 77 total yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-17 win over the Bengals.

Goodwin got a bunch of his production in early, slipping wide open for a 38-yard touchdown in the opening minutes of the contest. It was a dramatic improvement from Week 1's seven-yard effort, but fans would be right to worry about just six targets in two weeks from the WR1. Up next is a struggling Steelers defense.

Smith left Sunday's game against the Rams with an undisclosed injury, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

Smith got hurt after coming down with a 28-yard reception and headed off to the locker room. He hauled in all three of his targets for 48 yards prior to exiting.

Gage (concussion) will play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

Gage went into concussion protocol after Week 1's contest versus the Eagles, but he made a quick recovery. His offensive contributions will remain limited behind the Falcons' stacked wideout corps.

Boyd caught all 10 of his targets for 122 yards during Sunday's 41-17 loss to the 49ers.

Boyd got involved early, slipping down the sideline early in the first quarter for a 47-yard reception. It's hard to argue with 18 catches on 21 targets through two weeks, though Bengals fans probably wouldn't mind a touchdown at this juncture from Boyd. He's Andy Dalton's most reliable target until A.J. Green (ankle) makes his return. Up next is a tough Week 3 matchup against the Bills.

Hopkins corralled five of eight targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 13-12 win against Jacksonville.

Sunday's modest offering marked just the second time over his past 27 regular-season appearances that Hopkins has been held to fewer than 50 receiving yards. Many participating in daily fantasy may have been dissuaded by a matchup against Jacksonville's uber-talented secondary, but Hopkins proved capable of producing against these same Jaguars in 2018, logging 15 catches for 197 yards and a touchdown in two outings against them. In Week 3, Hopkins will face a Chargers defense that has allowed a combined 204 receiving yards and three touchdowns to opposing No. 1 receivers -- T.Y. Hilton and Kenny Golladay -- thus far in 2019.

Beasley caught all four of his targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Giants.

Beasley did most of his damage on a 51-yard catch in the second quarter. With nine catches for 123 yards through two games, Beasley looks like the clear-cut second option in Buffalo's passing game after John Brown.

Brown caught eight of 13 targets for 86 yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over Arizona.

Brown didn't have an encore quite as good as his two-touchdown beatdown of Miami in Week 1, but the numbers still look pretty good. The rookie first round pick has quickly emerged as a go-to target for Lamar Jackson with 18 targets in two games as compared to veteran Willie Snead's four. A favorable matchup awaits in Week 3 against the Chiefs.
