Adams caught seven of nine targets for 106 yards during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings.

Adams comfortably paced the team in targets, catches and yards despite facing a strong Minnesota secondary. He posted a long gain of 39 yards and averaged 17.6 yards per catch in a nice bounce-back effort after he totaled 36 yards in the season opener. Adams will face a third consecutive tough matchup next Sunday at home against the Broncos, but his status as Aaron Rodgers' main target should still afford him plenty of opportunities to produce.

Turner caught all three of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

When Jaron Brown committed his second penalty of the game in the second quarter, Turner came in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. He caught all of his passes in the second quarter and was silent in the second half. Turner may have a shot to unseat Jaron Brown moving forward, but he'll be battling for a No. 4 spot once David Moore (shoulder) returns, which could be as early as Week 3 versus the Saints.

Williams recorded three catches (on five targets) for 83 yards in Sunday's 13-10 defeat at Detroit. Afterward, he told Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register that the Chargers were "being cautious" with the knee injury that limited his practice reps during the week.

Williams' snap count on offense wasn't immediately known, but he was shuttled in and out of the contest with his knee in mind. Despite the limitations, he ranked third in targets behind Keenan Allen (15) and Austin Ekeler (six) with tight end Hunter Henry (knee) out of the lineup for the first of many outings. As long as this is the status quo for the Chargers' passing attack, Williams will be the second or third option available to quarterback Philip Rivers.

Jones caught five of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.

The deep threat was mostly targeted in the intermediate parts of the field, but Matthew Stafford did try forcing a bomb to Jones in double coverage only for the pass to be intercepted. Clearly the No. 2 option behind Kenny Golladay, Jones' production might continue to be dependent on the few big-play opportunities he sees per game, and it's likely he won't be of much utility on days like Sunday when he isn't able to find the end zone. Next up is a beatable Eagles secondary on the road in Week 3.

Byrd caught six of seven passes for 45 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore.

Byrd came up big on a handful of key conversions Sunday, including on a quick slant on fourth down early in the second quarter. Byrd is listed as WR5, but with the Cardinals slinging it a whopping 99 times in two games and Byrd already with 10 catches to start the season, his value may be closer to that of a WR3 or WR4 on a less prolific team. Next up is a visit from traditionally stingy Carolina defense that finds itself 0-2 to start the year.

Gallup caught six of eight targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Redskins.

Gallup fell short of the 158 yards he piled up last week, but he still led the team in targets and receptions. There were many storylines surrounding the team leading into the season, which perhaps overshadowed the second-year wideout's emergence into a reliable contributor. Gallup has already totaled 226 yards while hauling in 13 of 15 targets, putting him on pace to blow past the numbers he posted in his rookie season. He should have plenty of opportunities to continue his strong start next Sunday at home against a terrible Dolphins team.

Kirk caught six of eight targets for 114 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore.

Kirk was targeted plenty in Week 1, but came away with little to show for it. That wasn't the case Sunday as Arizona got Kirk involved early, including on a 34-yard deep shot early in the first quarter. Arizona has attempted 99 passes through two weeks and Kirk has seen 20 of those targets, so opportunities shouldn't be an issue this season. Next up is a Carolina defense that was solid against the pass in 2018 and is desperate to avoid an 0-3 start.

Cooper caught four of five targets for 44 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-21 win over Washington.

Cooper didn't see his typical share of targets and didn't make many plays downfield, as evidenced by his 11.0 YPC. However, he hauled in all but one of the passes thrown his way and scored a 10-yard touchdown early in the third quarter to help his team pull away. Cooper's usage could fluctuate a bit this season due to the balanced approach taken by the Dallas offense, but he is still the top target for an impressive Dak Prescott and has two scores through as many games. He will look to continue his productive play next Sunday at home against a terrible Dolphins team.

Smith-Schuster caught five of eight targets for 84 yards in Sunday's 28-26 loss to the Seahawks.

Starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger exited the game at halftime due to an elbow injury, but Smith-Schuster showed good chemistry with backup Mason Rudolph, hauling in a 45-yard pass in the third quarter. While JuJu's stock would be downgraded a bit if Roethlisberger needs to miss any time, he still remains an upper-echelon wide receiver and the clear-cut top option in Pittsburgh's passing game.

Metcalf hauled in three of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

Metcalf's seven targets were second only to WR Tyler Lockett (12), and his 28-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter went down as the game-winning score. The rookie wideout damaged his own production with an offensive pass interference call for the second straight game, but he has still been a fantasy-viable option in both games. The Seahawks should have to pass often again in Week 3 versus the Saints, so look for Metcalf to maintain his impressive momentum.
