  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Quiet in win

    Jennings had one reception (two targets) for four yards in Sunday's 27-7 win over Seattle.

    Jennings logged 35 offensive snaps (46 percent), good for third amongst all San Francisco wide receivers. While his stat line left much to be desired, the physical wideout made his presence felt in the run game. Starting quarterback Trey Lance (ankle) suffered a season-ending injury, but Jimmy Garoppolo was waiting in the wings, so the passing offense shouldn't suffer tremendously. That said, Jennings wasn't considered a fantasy option in standard formats prior to Lance's injury, so not much should change for the 25-year-old's value heading into a Week 3 matchup against Denver.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Snags touchdown

    Reynolds caught three of three targets for 38 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.

    Reynolds made a couple of plays on his limited opportunities, first snagging a three-yard touchdown in the back of the end zone and then securing a 23-yard reception. However, he still finished fifth in targets behind Detroit's four top options in Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson. As long as those guys stay healthy, Reynolds won't be on the fantasy radar.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Lions' DJ Chark: Blanked by Washington

    Chark was targeted four times but did not record a catch during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.

    Chark saw all of his targets in the first half and then mysteriously disappeared in the second. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown continued his hot streak yet another week while Josh Reynolds, T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift served as the top complementary receiving options for Jared Goff. However, even though it's now apparent that Chark's downside is the absolute floor, he'll still remain an upside fantasy option in many weeks ahead given his momentary status as a top deep threat in an ascending Lions offense. Up next is a Week 3 road matchup with the Vikings.

  • Browns' Anthony Schwartz: Goes untargeted in loss

    Schwartz was not targeted over 12 snaps in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets in Week 2.

    Schwartz's playing time slipped from 23 snaps Week 1, one more than rookie David Bell, to 12 in Week 2, eight fewer than Bell. The Browns have a quick turnaround for Week 3's matchup with the Steelers on Thursday. Thus far, only tight ends Jesse James (wrist, out) and Harrison Bryant (thumb/thigh) are banged up, so it might be more of the same for Schwartz this week.

  • Kaylon Geiger: Goes back to practice squad

    Geiger reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Geiger made his NFL debut in the team's win over the Saints on Sunday. With Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out, Geiger helped chip in on special teams and provided emergency depth at wide receiver.

  • River Cracraft WR | WAS

    River Cracraft: Heads back down to practice squad

    Cracraft reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Cracraft was promoted to Miami's active roster ahead of Sunday's win against the Ravens, catching one of his two targets for a two-yard receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter. However, the 27-year-old wideout played an overall limited role as he only lined up on 16 of the team's 71 offensive snaps in Week 2. Cracraft is now eligible for just one more gameday elevation after playing in each of the first two games for the Dolphins, and he could see similar usage in Week 3 if wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, who is considered day-to-day with a rib injury, sits out this coming Sunday against the Bills.

  • Jacob Harris WR | TB

    Jacob Harris: Moves back to practice squad

    Harris reverted to the Rams' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Harris was moved up to the Rams' active roster Saturday ahead of the team's matchup with the Falcons, though he failed to see a single target while playing just one offensive snap compared to 12 special-teams snaps Sunday. The second-year wideout served a similar role over nine games with Los Angeles last season, playing 133 of his 148 total snaps on special teams. Harris will now be eligible for two more such gameday elevations from the Rams' practice squad this season.

  • Khalil Shakir WR | BUF

    Bills' Khalil Shakir: Active for Monday's game

    Shakir is active for Monday night's game against the Titans, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    The rookie fifth-rounder was inactive Week 1, but he'll join the Bills' wide receiver mix Monday, with Gabe Davis (ankle) not playing. With Stefon Diggs, Isaiah McKenzie, Jamison Crowder and Jake Kumerow also available, however, it remains to be seen how much work Shakir will see in his NFL debut.

  • Keke Coutee WR | MIA

    Keke Coutee: Heads back to practice squad

    Coutee reverted to the Colts' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Coutee received a promotion to the active roster with Michael Pittman (quad) and Alec Pierce (concussion) out of action Sunday against the Jaguars. The five-year-pro only ended up chipping in on special teams, where he returned three punts for a total of three yards. Depending on the status of Pittman and Pierce, Coutee could see another move to the active roster for Week 3 against the Chiefs.

  • Kyle Philips WR | LV

    Titans' Kyle Philips: Suits up Monday

    Philips (shoulder) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Bills.

    Philips approached the contest listed as questionable after logging limited practice listings Friday and Saturday, but he'll give it a go Monday. In the process, the 2022 fifth-rounder will look to build off a six-catch, 66-yard effort (on nine targets) in his NFL debut Week 1. It remains to be seen if he'll maintain such volume Week 2, with Robert Woods, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Treylon Burks also in the Titans' wide receiver mix, but if Philips can keep up the pace in the coming weeks, he'll merit attention in PPR formats.
