  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Bears' Darnell Mooney: No progress in Week 2

    Mooney caught one of two targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Packers.

    Two weeks into the season, Mooney has just four receiving yards on five targets, and there wasn't any inclement weather to blame his poor performance on this time. He's far from the only member of Chicago's passing attack that's off to a slow start, as quarterback Justin Fields has thrown for just 182 yards through two games. Mooney will try to get his season on track in Week 3 against the Texans and rookie cornerback Derek Stingley, whom Houston selected third overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

  • Packers' Christian Watson: Just nine yards in Week 2

    Watson caught all three of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears.

    Green Bay got the ball in Watson's hands around the line of scrimmage and let him try to pick up yards after the catch with his mix of size and speed, but the rookie second-round pick didn't get any opportunities downfield after an egregious drop in his NFL debut. Watson still faces significant competition for touches from Sammy Watkins, Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs and Randall Cobb heading into the Packers' Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Packers' Allen Lazard: Finds end zone in season debut

    Lazard (ankle) caught two of three targets for 13 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Bears.

    Green Bay's entire offense looked much sharper after mustering just seven points in Week 1, and Lazard's return from an ankle injury contributed to that improvement. Aaron Rodgers spread the ball around, as no Packer got more than four targets, but Lazard made the most of his limited opportunities by catching a five-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Lazard could still emerge as the clear top option in Green Bay's passing game, but as things stand heading into a Week 3 clash with the Buccaneers, no one has taken over as Rodgers' go-to guy since Davante Adams' departure.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Rams' Allen Robinson: Shows rapport with Stafford

    Robinson recorded four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

    Robinson didn't post a monstrous line, but it still represented a marked improvement over his output in Week 1. In Week 2, he caught a one-yard touchdown to cap the Rams' first offensive possession, and he also showed some big-play ability by tallying receptions of 29 and 15 yards. Cooper Kupp will dominate targets in the offense, but Robinson showed the potential to serve as the legitimate second option with this performance.

  • Jets' Braxton Berrios: No targets in Week 2

    Berrios (heel) wasn't targeted but rushed twice for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

    Berrios didn't play much of a role on offense while Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis and Elijah Moore combined for 23 targets. The All-Pro return man had three kickoff returns for 75 yards and a 16-yard punt return, so Berrios' reduced role didn't seem linked to the heel injury he battled in practice throughout the week. Berrios is the Jets' No. 4 wide receiver heading into a Week 3 visit from the Bengals.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Two touchdowns, 108 yards

    Kupp recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 108 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Falcons.

    Kupp got off to a relatively slow start, though he added another impressive performance to his resume. He scored touchdowns from three and 10 yards out and also posted lengthier gains of 20, 19 and 12 yards. Kupp certainly appears capable of replicating his 2021 results, as he has recorded double-digit receptions, at least 100 receiving yards and a touchdown in each of the team's first two games of the new campaign.

  • Corey Davis WR | NYJ

    Jets' Corey Davis: Spurs comeback with 66-yard TD

    Davis caught two of four targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Browns.

    Davis was quiet for most of the game before getting behind the defense for a 66-yard touchdown with 1:22 to play. That touchdown pulled the Jets within six points, and New York proceeded to score the winning touchdown exactly one minute later after recovering an onside kick. With Davis, Elijah Moore and Garrett Wilson -- who topped 100 yards with two touchdowns against Cleveland -- New York has quietly compiled a talented group of wide receivers. The Jets continue to catch passes from Joe Flacco in Week 3 against the Bengals before possibly getting Zach Wilson (knee) back under center the following week.

  • Noah Brown WR | LV

    Cowboys' Noah Brown: Scores first career TD

    Brown caught all five of his targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

    The depth receiver was Cooper Rush's most reliable option on the day, and Brown not only led Dallas in receiving yards, he caught his first career NFL touchdown in the first quarter on a nine-yard strike from Rush. Michael Gallup (knee) appears close to rejoining the lineup, however, and this performance may well end up being the high-water mark for Brown this season heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that's yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.

  • CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL

    Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Hauls in 75 yards in Sunday's win

    Lamb caught seven of 11 targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Bengals.

    For the second straight game, Lamb led the Cowboys in targets with 11, but the third-year wideout was a lot more productive with that volume this time around. He also posted a 6-112-0 line in Week 8 last season with Cooper Rush under center, and losing Dak Prescott (thumb) for a few weeks may not result in a big hit to Lamb's fantasy value heading into a Week 3 clash with a Giants secondary that has yet to allow more than 66 receiving yards to a WR.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Making strong impression

    London recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.

    London dominated targets among the Atlanta pass catchers, as Mariota recorded only 26 pass attempts for the game. London showed the ability to get open at various depths of target, highlighted by a four-yard touchdown catch and receptions that went for gains of 22 and 19 yards. London has topped 70 receiving yards in each of his first two games in the NFL and appears to have emerged as Marcus Mariota's top target in Atlanta.
