Washington caught four of his five targets for 43 yards, rushed once for four yards, returned a punt for seven yards and returned three kickoffs for 69 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

Washington played 43 of the Dolphins' 59 offensive snaps as well as six special-teams snaps. The No. 1 wide receiver and returner's name appeared across the box score, and Washington appears set to continue filling a diverse role on a rebuilding Miami squad.

Likely secured five of 10 targets for 33 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night.

Likely's first catch came on one of Jaxson Dart's three completions before he exited the game with a knee injury, and the veteran tight end remained an integral component of the air attack once Jameis Winston took over. Likely's reception and target totals were team-high figures, and he's quickly generated a 13-111-2 line on 18 targets over his first two games in a Giants uniform heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Flournoy caught five of six targets for 23 yards Sunday in a 37-20 victory versus Washington.

Flournoy started and saw plenty of playing time, logging 42 of Dallas' 55 offensive snaps. He also got a good amount of looks, with six passes thrown his way. However, Flournoy worked almost exclusively in short yardage, with his longest catch going for a modest 10 yards and his other four receptions accounting for a total of 13 yards. Flournoy is unsurprisingly well behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens on the WR depth chart, so his week-to-week production figures to be difficult to bank upon. Dallas next faces the Ravens at home next Sunday.

Dulcich caught two of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 35-13 loss to the 49ers.

Dulcich had a larger role on offense after a quiet opener against the Raiders. The tight end played 36 of 59 offensive snaps Sunday and garnered a bit more attention downfield. Dulcich also contributed on special teams, playing four snaps in the loss.

Winston replaced Jaxson Dart (knee) with 9:51 remaining in the first quarter of Monday night's 28-6 loss to the Rams and completed 11 of 27 passes for 111 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for one yard.

Winston has enjoyed success in the past taking over for injured or demoted teammates, but Monday night was far from such an example. The veteran signal-caller consistently struggled against an invigorated Rams defense, taking two sacks and frequently working under duress. Winston's accuracy was also at a low point, and his one interception came in the end zone on a pass intended for Malik Nabers. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports Dart has been diagnosed with a sprained MCL, so despite Monday night's struggles, Winston could be in line for at least one start in a Week 3 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday.

Demercado had three carries for eight yards in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

Demercado logged just nine offensive snaps in the contest, playing second fiddle to Javonte Williams throughout the day. The running back is primarily a reserve option, with Williams set to be the bell cow as long as he's healthy.

Sinnott caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Sinnott played 48 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps as well as nine special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The tight end started due to Chig Okonkwo's (hamstring) absence and also put in plenty of time as a blocker.

Stafford completed 22 of 31 passes for 327 yards with four touchdowns and one interception and rushed four times for minus-1 yard in the Rams' 28-6 win over the Giants on Monday night.

Stafford shrugged off the absence of No. 1 receiver Puka Nacua (hip), delivering a stellar and nearly mistake-free performance while focusing heavily on Davante Adams, who was on the receiving end of half of the veteran signal-caller's touchdown passes. Stafford averaged 10.5 yards per attempt overall, and his scoring strikes came from 31 and 11 yards out to Adams, and from 10 and five yards on connections with Kyren Williams and Terrance Ferguson, respectively. Stafford has a thorny Week 3 assignment on tap irrespective of Nacua's availability, however, considering the Rams will pay a visit to the Broncos on Sunday night.

Brown caught four of his six targets for 21 yards and completed his sole pass attempt for zero yards while losing one fumble in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Brown played 39 of the Commanders' 71 snaps as one of the starting wide receivers. The pass catcher became the quarterback briefly in the third quarter on a play that went for no gain. Brown also lost a fumble in the third quarter that did not help the Commanders' comeback efforts.

Williams caught all three of his targets for 24 yards and failed to complete his only pass attempt in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Williams played 35 of the Commanders' 71 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver also threw a deep shot to Terry McLaurin late in the third quarter on a trick play as the Commanders tried to keep the game close after the loss of quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) before the half.
