Shepard caught 6 of 10 targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.

Shepard led the Giants in receptions and targets. Despite his involvement, though, Shepard didn't manage to accumulate much yardage. Still, with teammate Kenny Golladay hardly seeing the field Sunday as his role continues to decrease, Shepard could profile as New York's top wideout heading into Week 3's game versus Dallas.

Hill secured 11 of 13 targets for 190 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' 42-38 win over the Ravens on Sunday. He left the game temporarily in the second half due to cramping, per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, but he returned soon thereafter and finished the game.

Hill's performance was reminiscent of his glory days in Kansas City working with a quarterback in Patrick Mahomes that he's favorably compared current signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa to on a couple of occasions since joining the Dolphins. Hill showed off great chemistry with the 2020 first-round pick in a wild comeback win that featured 35 second-half points for Miami, 14 which came courtesy of Hill's 48- and 60-yard touchdown grabs in the fourth quarter that helped forge a 35-35 tie. Hill utilized his trademark speed on both plays, but as his final line implies, he was a major asset all over the field in the victory. Assuming no carryover from the cramping, Hill should be line for another busy day in what shapes up as a marquee Week 3 showdown with the Bills in South Florida next Sunday.

Anderson caught three of five targets for 32 yards but lost a fumble in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

Anderson coughed the ball up after making a reception early in the first quarter, leading to a Giants field goal. After scoring a long touchdown in Week 1, Anderson made a costly mistake in another narrow defeat Sunday. Next up for him is a stretch of three straight home games, starting with a matchup against a talented Saints secondary next weekend.

Moore caught three of six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

Moore led the Panthers in targets and receiving yards while scoring his team's lone touchdown Sunday as well. To open his account for this season, Moore hauled in a 16-yard pass in the back of the end zone to begin the third quarter. While that contribution boosted his performance, Carolina's passing attack is yet to take off under Baker Mayfield, leaving Moore with identical catch, target and receiving yardage totals in Weeks 1 and 2.

Duvernay was forced out of Sunday's 42-38 loss to the Dolphins with a concussion.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Duvernay caught both of his targets for 42 yards and returned a kickoff for a 103-yard touchdown. The wideout will now look to progress through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of next weekend's contest against the Patriots.

Meyers caught nine passes for 95 yards on 13 targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Meyers was less explosive than Nelson Agholor (six catches for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets) but more than doubled Agholor's target volume. It's a reminder that Meyers is more of a floor player than a ceiling one, but if he keeps getting double-digit targets the truly big game will happen eventually.

Johnson hauled in six of 10 targets for 57 yards during Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Patriots.

Johnson saw plenty of deep looks during Sunday's matchup, but he didn't have a catch longer than 17 yards and was unable to reach the end zone during the low-scoring game. The 2019 third-rounder averaged over 10 yards per reception in each of his first three professional seasons, but he's been held to just 8.2 yards per catch over his first two games catching passes from Mitch Trubisky. However, it's been encouraging to see Johnson's target share remain high early in the 2022 campaign.

Wilson (ribs) was downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against Baltimore, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Wilson was quickly ruled out after exiting the Dolphins' game against the Ravens on Sunday, thus limiting him to one target without a reception in Week 2. Since the exact nature and severity of this issue are still unclear, it will be worth monitoring the 26-year-old's status on Wednesday's injury report.

Agholor caught six passes for 110 yards and one touchdown on six targets against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Agholor's snaps trailed DeVante Parker and Jakobi Meyers in Week 1, but the speedy wideout certainly made a good case for a bigger role going forward. Agholor was arguably the player of the game for the Patriots in their narrow 17-14 victory, and he's clearly New England's best big-play threat so long as Tyquan Thornton is out. The battered Ravens secondary will have to keep a close eye on Agholor in Week 3.

Wilson was forced out of Sunday's game against the Ravens with a rib injury, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Wilson did not record a catch on one target. Meanwhile, top wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill were busy in Week 2, working as QB Tua Tagovailoa's primary options in the passing game.
