Gipson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys. He had one punt return for seven yards.

Gipson scored the game-winning punt return touchdown in overtime in his NFL debut, but the electric return man was much quieter in his second NFL game. The rookie receiver has yet to see a target on offense.

Cobb failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Through two games with the Jets, Cobb has two targets and no catches. Without Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) throwing him the ball, Cobb doesn't seem to have enough left in the tank at age 33 to meaningfully contribute.

Hardman caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

After playing zero offensive snaps in his first game with the Jets last week, Hardman recorded his first reception with the team in Week 2. When asked about the possibility of playing Hardman more after the loss to Dallas, head coach Robert Saleh said "it's something to look at," per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic. Hardman's speed could provide a spark for a Jets offense that's desperate for production after losing starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) for the season, but the former Kansas City wide receiver will be tough to trust in fantasy unless he earns a larger role.

Lazard caught two of four targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys.

Lazard finished third on the team in both targets and receiving yards behind Garrett Wilson (undisclosed) and tight end Tyler Conklin. Wilson provided most of New York's offense with a 68-yard touchdown catch and is expected to be available in Week 3 against the Patriots after having the wind knocked out of him late in the game. While Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) has a history of keeping numerous receivers fantasy-relevant simultaneously, the same can't be said of Zach Wilson, so Lazard's role as a starter on the outside won't necessarily earn him significant target volume or fantasy production.

Ezukanma had three carries for five yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Ezukanma handled two carries Week 1, so it appears that his involvement as a depth option in the rushing game isn't an apparition. Of course, Ezukanma's usage could dissipate if De'Von Achane's involvement rises as the season progresses. Nonetheless, in deep fantasy formats it will be worth keeping an eye on Ezukanma, just in case the Dolphins are indeed committed to keeping him involved.

Cracraft secured both of his targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Cracraft and Braxton Berrios continue to split No. 3 receiver work behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (concussion), but Miami's passing game wasn't prolific enough in Week 2's divisional win to provide either depth man real fantasy value. It will be worth monitoring Waddle's status for Week 3's game against the Broncos, though, as an absence on his part could boost both Cracraft and Berrios.

Berrios secured two of three targets for 28 yards during Sunday night's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Berrios also operated as Miami's top punt returner, handling two returns for a total of 27 yards. Behind target leaders Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle (concussion), Berrios retains enough involvement in his rotational offensive role to warrant some fantasy consideration in deep formats. If Waddle remains in the concussion protocol Week 3 versus the Broncos, it would pave the way for Berrios to handle an expanded role.

Bourne had four catches on nine targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.

Bourne wound up leading the team in targets, but finished fourth in terms of receiving yardage. The veteran wideout made a valiant effort on one of Mac Jones' few deep pass attempts Sunday, but the ball pulled him out of bounds. The end result was a disappointing follow-up to last week's two-touchdown showing from Bourne. Fantasy managers should expect results somewhere in between his first two games when the Patriots take on the Jets next Sunday.

Johnson caught two of three targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington.

Johnson was the recipient of a Hail Mary attempt from Russell Wilson that bounced off multiple players before landing in his hands for a 50-yard touchdown on the final play of regulation. The 25-year-old had just one reception for 16 yards prior to his improbable score, so fantasy managers should be careful not to overvalue his final line when scouring waiver wires this week. Johnson will continue serving as a backup option for Denver's upcoming tilt against Miami.

Dotson finished with three receptions on five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 35-33 win over Denver.

Dotson turned in another lackluster fantasy line following last week's 40-yard output. The second-year receiver has yet to find the end zone after posting seven touchdowns in 12 games as a rookie last year. Dotson has maintained regular playing time during his slow start, seeing 12 targets through two games. The production should come so long as his role isn't reduced, so frustrated managers in deeper formats should remain patient with the 2022 first-round pick as the Commanders prepare to host the Bills next Sunday.
