Shepard caught his only target for four yards in a Week 2 win against Arizona on Sunday.

For the second straight week, Shepard received just one target, though he at least came up with a catch against the Cardinals after being shut out in the season opener. The veteran wideout has been on the field for less than 20 percent of New York's offensive snaps thus far, suggesting that he's near the bottom of the team's wide-receiver pecking order. Shepard is coming off back-to-back campaigns severely shortened by injury, so it's possible his lack of involvement early is at least partly due to the Giants electing to work him back into action slowly.

Campbell caught four of six targets for 21 yards in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Cardinals.

After nabbing just one of four targets in a season-opening loss to Dallas, Campbell was more efficient and productive against Arizona, though his longest reception went for just nine yards. The speedy wideout finished tied for third on the team in catches but was sixth in receiving yards in a game during which QB Daniel Jones racked up 321 yards through the air. New York doesn't yet have a clear wide-receiver pecking order, making it difficult to predict how much volume Campbell -- or any of the team's wideouts -- will receive in any given week.

Parker (knee) had six receptions on eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.

Parker was a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football after a week of limited practice due to a knee injury. The veteran receiver suited up and wound up leading the team in receiving on a quiet offensive night. Parker trailed only Kendrick Bourne's nine targets, but the latter did far less with his opportunities Sunday. Expect the now-healthy Parker to serve as one of the Patriots' top wideouts against the Jets next Sunday.

Hill had five receptions on nine targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Patriots.

Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is known for taking away the opponent's best weapon, and it was clear from the jump that the defense was not going to let the speedy wideout beat them deep. Hill still provided value for his fantasy managers with an early touchdown catch, his third through three games. Fellow starter Jaylen Waddle was knocked out of the game after a rough hit to the head, so the Dolphins may need to rely on Hill more than usual if the former isn't able to go against the Broncos next Sunday.

Hutchinson did not catch his only target in Sunday's 31-20 loss to the Colts in Week 2.

Hutchinson increased his snap count from seven in Week 1 to 18 in Week 2. The 2023 sixth-round draft pick has been targeted twice through the first two games and sits fifth on the depth chart.

Metchie caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to Indianapolis in Week 2.

Metchie, who was drafted in the second round of the 2022, finally made his NFL debut and logged his first catch while playing a wideout-low 14 snaps. The receiver overcame leukemia that wiped out his rookie season, and he was sidelined for Week 1 with a hamstring injury. As the position group is currently constituted, Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson sit behind Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell.

Jeudy (hamstring) had three receptions on five targets for 25 yards and no scores in Sunday's 35-33 loss to the Commanders.

Russell Wilson had a vintage game in which he aired it out for over 300 yards, but Jeudy mostly missed the party and was held to just 25 yards in his season debut. The positive news is that the 2020 first-round pick didn't suffer a setback to the hamstring injury that cost him the first game of the season. If Wilson is able to continue playing at the level he showed Sunday, that could lead to better stat lines from Jeudy now that he is healthy. His next opportunity to produce will come against Miami next Sunday.

Burks recorded three receptions on four targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Chargers.

Burks did nearly all of his damage on a 70-yard reception midway through the second quarter that jumpstarted the Titans' offense. Despite being on the field for 94 snaps across the team's first two games, Burks has only six targets this season. Given that, it appears he'll be reliant upon big plays and touchdowns to account for the majority of his production.

Sutton caught five of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 35-33 loss to Washington.

Sutton finished with the most targets and ahead of fellow starter Jerry Jeudy, but it was rookie Marvin Mims (2-113-1) who stole the show as the fantasy standout for Denver on Sunday. The veteran wideout Sutton still put together a decent fantasy game after logging his first touchdown of 2023 last week. Sutton retains his high fantasy floor heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.

Renfrow recorded one reception on one target for 23 yards in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Bills.

Renfrow was projected to see an increased role in the absence of Jakobi Meyers (concussion). That didn't come to fruition, however, as the only Raiders skill-position players to receive more than three targets were Davante Adams and Josh Jacobs. After failing to command a target in Week 1, Renfrow seems to be facing an uphill battle to be a consistent contributor to the offense in 2023.
