Nick Westbrook-Ikhine WR | IND
Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Records pivotal score
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.

Michael Thomas WR | NO
Saints' Michael Thomas: Hot start in Monday's win
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.

Chris Olave WR | NO
Saints' Chris Olave: Heats up in second half on MNF
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.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Will not return
Olszewski (concussion) will not return to Monday's game against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Olszewski's absence will leave the Steelers with just four healthy receivers for the remainder of the game. He had recorded one reception for zero yards prior to his departure. He will need to clear the league's concussion protocols in order to suit up for a Week 3 matchup against the Raiders on Sunday night.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Steelers' Gunner Olszewski: Doubtful to return
Olszewski is considered doutbtful to return to Monday's matchup with the Browns due to a possible concussion.
Olsezewski would need to quickly clear the league's concussion protocols in order to return. If he is unable to return, that leaves the Steelers with just four healthy receivers. He had recorded one reception for zero yards before exiting the game.

Austin Trammell WR | JAC
Austin Trammell: Returns to practice squad
Trammell reverted to Rams' practice squad Monday.
Trammell was elevated ahead of Los Angeles' 30-23 loss to the 49ers, logging six snaps on special teams, including a 20-yard kick return. The wide receiver only garnered one offensive snap and will now have to wait for another chance to crack the active roster down the road.

Marvin Jones WR | DET
Lions' Marvin Jones: Blanked by Seattle
Jones was not targeted with a pass during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.
Jones again logged about half of the offensive snaps despite a poor showing in the season opener. While a significant downturn in usage rate provided no opportunities for him to put up any stats, the 33-year-old veteran didn't do much with the six targets he saw in Week 1 anyway. Next up for Jones is a Week 3 matchup with a talented Falcons secondary.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Scores on flea flicker
Raymond caught two of three targets for 46 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.
Raymond got loose for a 36-yard touchdown on a flea flicker but didn't make much noise otherwise. Averaging 22.0 yards on his three catches this season, Raymond will likely remain a low-volume deep threat despite the absence of Jameson Williams (suspension) entering a Week 3 matchup with Atlanta.

Juwann Winfree WR | HOU
Juwann Winfree: Heads back to practice squad
Winfree reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday.
Winfree was elevated to the active roster for each of Indianapolis' first two regular-season contests, though he was deployed only on special teams in Week 2. The Colts can elevate him once more -- after that, they'd have to add him to the 53-man roster in order for him to be active on game day.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: Suits up versus Steelers
Cooper (groin) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Steelers.
A report from Adam Schefter of ESPN surfaced Sunday indicating that Cooper, who suffered a groin injury at Saturday's practice, was considered unlikely to play Monday, but evidently the wideout's condition improved to the point that he'll give it a go versus Pittsburgh. It remains to be seen how close to 100 percent Cooper will be in doing so, but he's in uniform and thus represents a lineup option for those who held out hope that he'd be available Week 2. During the Browns' 24-3 win over the Bengals on Sunday, Sept. 10, Cooper logged 46 snaps and caught three of his seven targets for 37 yards.
