  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Not targeted Monday

    Marshall was not targeted in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Marshall, who led Carolina's wideouts in snaps Week 1, was pushed down the depth chart with DJ Chark making his season debut. His addition led to Marshall playing under 40 percent of the offensive downs, trailing rookie Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen and Chark. In a limited passing game thus far, Marshall's fourth receiver role doesn't seem to carry much fantasy upside.

  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Panthers' Jonathan Mingo: High target count

    Mingo caught three of eight targets for 26 yards in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Mingo had a catch of 22 yards, marking Carolina's longest passing play of the game. Although he hardly gained any yardage on his other two grabs, Mingo's eight targets trailed only Adam Thielen among Panthers pass-catchers. That share of looks came despite No. 2 wideout DJ Chark making his season debut, which should boost optimism over Mingo's usage as his rookie campaign progresses.

  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Limited again Tuesday

    Robinson (knee) was again listed as a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Robinson has been a regular on the Giants' injury report to kick off the year and has yet to make his season debut. He is looking to return from a torn ACL suffered in Week 11 of 2022. If he cannot play Thursday, New York will again have Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt and Sterling Shepard as receiving options.

  • Matt Landers WR | TEN

    Matt Landers: Gets cut

    Seattle cut Landers from its practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Just a few weeks after signing Landers to their practice squad, the Seahawks have now decided to part ways with him. The undrafted rookie will look for another opportunity to make an impression elsewhere.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Slated for limited practice

    San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Aiyuk (shoulder) will be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Aiyuk had been listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, but the receiver will apparently be able to log some reps Tuesday when the 49ers actually take the field. Because the 49ers are facing a quick turnaround from this past Sunday's win over the Rams, Aiyuk may not have enough time to fully move past his left shoulder injury ahead of Thursday's game agains the Giants. At this stage of the week, Shanahan labeled Aiyuk as a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Mathew Sexton WR | MIA

    Mathew Sexton: Gets cut loose

    Atlanta cut Sexton from its practice squad Tuesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

    In a corresponding move, linebacker Milo Eifler was signed to the practice squad. Sexton will now have to look for a chance to stick on an NFL team elsewhere.

  • Devin Duvernay WR | ARI

    Ravens' Devin Duvernay: Fills versatile role Week 2

    Duvernay was held without a reception on three targets and carried three times for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Bengals.

    After logging seven snaps on offense in the Ravens' season-opening win over the Texans, Duvernay tripled that total in Week 2. He played 22 snaps Sunday, drawing targets on three of the 11 routes he ran but failing to cash in. Instead, Duvernay made his biggest mark as a ballcarrier, helping to absorb some of the vacated touches created by running back J.K. Dobbins' season-ending Achilles injury. The speedy Duvernay could continue to have some light involvement in the run game moving forward, but since he's still behind Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham (ankle), Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor in the pecking order for targets, he's unlikely to carve out much fantasy value.

  • Tyler Boyd WR | TEN

    Bengals' Tyler Boyd: Better in Week 2

    Boyd had six catches Sunday against the Ravens, netting 52 yards on eight targets.

    While it wasn't a tremendous fantasy outing, this is the sort of floor fantasy GMs are used to seeing from Boyd. That floor could drop away if he has Jake Browning throwing to him Monday night instead of Joe Burrow, however.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Scores in romp over Raiders

    Shakir caught his only target for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Raiders.

    The Bills have a crowded offense, and barring injury, it's going to be tough for anyone else to leapfrog the big three of Stefon Diggs, James Cook and Gabe Davis. Shakir is instead battling for the leftovers with the 1-2 punch at tight end of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid, as well as fellow depth receivers Trent Sherfield and Deonte Harty. Shakir played only 15 percent of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win, less than Sherfield (41 percent) or Harty (19 percent).

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Targeted four times on MNF

    Austin secured one of four targets for 10 yards while rushing once for minus-two yards during the Steelers' 26-22 win over the Browns on Monday.

    Pittsburgh's offense struggled to generate much production once again Monday, and Austin was held in check even though Diontae Johnson (hamstring) was unavailable. However, Austin saw an increased snap count in the narrow win, playing 76 percent of the team's offensive snaps after playing 56 percent in Week 1. Austin's playing time should remain elevated over the next few weeks since Johnson is on injured reserve, but Monday's performance showed that his increased snaps won't necessarily translate to an uptick in offensive output.
