Henry caught three of five targets for 40 yards in the Patriots' 20-3 win over the Steelers on Sunday.

In the team's first game without A.J. Brown (ankle), Henry ended up pacing the Patriots with his five targets, though Drake Maye spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers. While Henry led the team in looks, Romeo Doubs turned his four targets into three catches for a game-high 96 receiving yards. After two contests this season, Henry has six catches for 66 scoreless yards. He's one of many in the touchdown-or-bust bucket at tight end for fantasy.

Addison caught two of five targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Bears.

Addison was able to secure his first two catches of the season. There was consistent rain throughout the entire contest, making it incredibly difficult for either side to get into any sort of groove through the air, but Addison's five targets were second only to Justin Jefferson (six) on the Vikings. The team will travel to Tampa Bay in Week 3, and it's possible that the offense could get a boost with quarterback Kyler Murray (concussion) on track to return.

Prescott completed 26 of 31 passes for 279 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for 26 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Prescott's five incompletions and the two sacks he took were about the only blemishes on an otherwise outstanding performance. He was clicking early and often with CeeDee Lamb, connecting with his top wideout for eight of his completions and targeting him nine times overall for a total of 153 yards, including touchdown tosses from three and 24 yards out. Prescott hit Jake Ferguson from 10 and 12 yards for his other two scoring strikes. In the process, Prescott passed Tony Romo to become the Cowboys' all-time leader in career TD passes with 249. Despite a Week 1 loss to the Giants, Prescott's numbers have largely been above reproach, as he has a 73.8 percent completion rate and a 6:1 TD:INT heading into next Sunday's Week 3 home showdown against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Godwin caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in Tampa Bay's 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday. He added 12 rushing yards on one attempt.

Godwin's three targets were seventh on the team and "good" for just an 8.8 percent share on a day Baker Mayfield attempted 34 passes. However, the veteran wide receiver's 37 routes were just one fewer than Emeka Egbuka for the team lead. Godwin has suffered several lower-body injuries to this point in his career, it's becoming a concern that he may just not have it anymore at 30.5 years old. Through two games, he has seven catches for 86 scoreless yards and 15 rushing yards.

Johnston caught one of five targets for seven yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders.

Johnston finished with a team-high five targets, but he failed to capitalize versus Las Vegas. The wide receiver has caught three of 11 targets for 24 yards over two games to open the 2026 campaign, and his next chance to get on track will come Week 3 against the Bills.

McLaurin brought in two of nine targets for 50 yards in the Commanders' 37-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The veteran receiver led the Commanders in receiving yards and targets, but his efficiency left plenty to be desired. McLaurin's day would have also looked a lot different if he'd been able to keep his balance on an early fourth-quarter deep pass from Marcus Mariota on which the veteran receiver was running wide open down the right sideline. The elbow injury suffered by Jayden Daniels on the last play of the first half also didn't help McLaurin's cause, and it's possible an extended absence on the part of the star signal-caller affects the wideout's performance in coming weeks.

Gainwell rushed two times for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns. He added three catches for five yards on four targets.

The 27-year-old's role through two games with Tampa Bay has been a far cry from his elite pass-catching role alongside Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh last season. Bucky Irving out-carried Gainwell 17 to two against Cleveland, and he's been out-targeted 11 to five by Irving through two contests. Gainwell has shown no chance at a ceiling performance with Baker Mayfield and has devolved to RB4 territory until he shows up more in the box score.

Pickens brought in six of eight targets for 40 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

Pickens finished second in receptions and targets on the afternoon for the Cowboys, but he wasn't very efficient on a per-catch basis. The star wideout saw CeeDee Lamb take priority Sunday, with the latter finishing with an 8-153-2 line on nine targets. Pickens remains a critical component of a high-upside Cowboys air attack, however, and his body of work last season supports the notion a breakout performance may be imminent.

Head coach Klint Kubiak described Bowers (knee) as "very close" to returning after Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Bowers has missed the first two games of the season, but the Raiders are off to a 2-0 start despite their star tight end's absence. He could be ready to return from a meniscus trim for Week 3 at New Orleans. Bowers' practice participation level during the week will provide an indication of his potential availability.

Williams rushed 12 times for 30 yards and brought in three of four targets for 20 yards in the Cowboys' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.

The Commanders' front more than held its own against the Cowboys' offensive line, leading Williams to scratch and claw for yardage while Dak Prescott carved up Washington's defense through the air. Williams still played a clear lead role despite the modest amount of rush attempts, and he was once again an important complementary option in the passing game. Williams has another tough assignment on tap in Week 3, as the Cowboys welcome in the Ravens next Sunday.
