Cooper secured seven of 10 targets for 90 yards in the Browns' 26-22 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

After surprisingly suiting up despite reaggravating a groin injury in Saturday's practice, Cooper went out and turned in a trademark performance. The veteran recorded team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals, making several impressive catches along the way. Cooper exponentially improved on his modest Week 1 numbers (3-37-0), and he could take on an even bigger role if fears Nick Chubb suffered a season-ending knee injury in Monday night's game are confirmed.

Thompkins rushed once for 11 yards and didn't log any targets in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay and returned two punts for seven yards.

Thompkins' lack of targets was disappointing considering he logged 32 snaps from scrimmage, yet that level of involvement is encouraging in its own right. The second-year speedster has been within a handful of snaps of No. 3 receiver Trey Palmer in both of the first two contests, but his game-to-game production will naturally be difficult to trust unless injuries strike Mike Evans or Chris Godwin.

Palmer brought in one of two targets for 20 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Palmer managed to make an impact with his one touch, which came during an allotment of 35 snaps from scrimmage. He notably logged only three more plays on offense than presumptive No. 4 wideout Deven Thompkins, however, an even smaller gap than in Week 1 when Palmer edged Thompkins by a 23-18 margin. The two speedsters will likely continue sharing complementary wideout snaps pretty closely for the foreseeable future, but the majority of Baker Mayfield's attention figures to continue centered on Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Rachaad White and Cade Otton.

Shaheed caught all four of his targets for 63 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over Carolina.

Most of Shaheed's production came on a 45-yard catch in the fourth quarter. He finished a distant third on the team in targets behind Chris Olave (11) and Michael Thomas (nine). Shaheed also had two kickoff returns for 47 yards and a 16-yard punt return. The second-year pro should continue to work as the Saints' No. 3 wide receiver and return man Week 3 against the Packers.

Chark (hamstring) caught his only target for 15 yards in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Chark made his Panthers debut after missing the season opener with a hamstring injury. Rookie quarterback Bryce Young had only one completion longer than 15 yards, but Chark produced the passing attack's second-longest play by drawing an 18-yard pass interference penalty in New Orleans territory in the fourth quarter. That play set up Carolina's third field goal of the game, but the Panthers have scored just two touchdowns through two games heading into a Week 3 trip to Seattle.

Moore recorded one catch on one target for 49 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Chargers.

Moore took advantage of his only target to jump-start a Titans drive late in the fourth quarter that resulted in the go-ahead touchdown. While it was a pivotal play for the team, Moore has a limited role in the offense -- he's only played a combined 38 offensive snaps in the first two games.

Thielen caught seven of nine targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. He also caught a two-point conversion.

After making only two catches in his Panthers debut, Thielen caught three passes on Carolina's opening drive and accounted for five of Bryce Young's eight first-half completions. The veteran wide receiver added a three-yard touchdown catch and a two-point conversion on Carolina's final drive. With Young having thrown for only 299 yards and a 2:2 TD:INT through two starts, Carolina's pass catchers will be tough to trust in Seattle in Week 3, but Thielen has been the team's most productive receiver through two games.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded three receptions on three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

Westbrook-Ikhine saw his opportunity fall as compared to Week 1, but he made one of the most important plays of the day for the Titans when he caught a four-yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining in the game to give the team the lead. He also chipped in a 14-yard catch just before halftime to help set up a 33-yard field goal. Though Westbrook-Ikhine plays a key role in the Tennessee offense, his limited volume will hold back his potential fantasy value.

Thomas caught seven of nine targets for 55 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Thomas was busy early, accounting for seven of Derek Carr's 13 first-half completions, including a spectacular 19-yard catch along the sideline to convert on third down and set the Saints up with first-and-goal from the four-yard line. New Orleans ultimately settled for a field goal on that drive, and neither team found the end zone until Tony Jones' two-yard touchdown run with less than three minutes left in the third quarter. The defense shifted in Thomas' direction and held him without a catch in the second half, but the veteran wide receiver still finished with a respectable stat line and has 12 catches for 116 yards on the season heading into a Week 3 trip to Green Bay.

Olave caught six of 11 targets for 86 yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Panthers.

Olave couldn't get on the same page as Derek Carr in the first half, catching only two of seven targets for 11 yards while Michael Thomas hauled in seven of nine targets for 55 yards. The 2022 first-round pick came alive in the second half, sparking the game's first touchdown drive with a one-handed, 42-yard catch. Olave thought he had a touchdown of his own in the fourth quarter, but a replay review revealed that he stepped out of bounds on the seven-yard line before scampering into the end zone. Despite playing second fiddle to Thomas early, Olave ultimately led the team in both targets and receiving yards. Olave will try to score his first touchdown of the season Week 3 against the Packers.
