Raymond caught two of two targets for 18 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.

Raymond was expected to serve as the No. 1 receiver with Tyrell Williams (concussion) sidelined, but he popped up on the injury report late in the week with a thigh injury. While Raymond was in the starting lineup despite being listed as questionable to play, he ultimately finished a distant second in snaps behind Quintez Cephus, who led Lions wideouts in nearly all receiving categories. It's not clear how long Williams could remain sidelined, but Raymond would figure to log a majority of the snaps if Williams can't suit up for Detroit's Week 3 matchup with Baltimore.

St. Brown caught three of five targets for 18 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to Green Bay.

With Tyrell Williams (concussion) sidelined and Kalif Raymond banged up after injuring his thigh in practice, it was Quintez Cephus and not St. Brown who led Lions wideouts in snaps, targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns. Tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back D'Andre Swift served as the other biggest producers in the passing game while St. Brown was only a complementary piece. Until the rookie starts becoming more involved in the passing game, St. Brown will be hard to trust in any fantasy format.

Cobb was targeted three times and caught three passes for 26 yards in Monday's 35-17 victory over the Lions.

Cobb did not do much for fantasy GMs Monday night, but he was at least more involved after catching one pass in Week 1, and that from backup Jordan Love. Cobb has a history with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he has not had many chances to make an impact early on, playing fewer than 25 percent of the offensive snaps through two games.

Lazard was not targeted in Monday's 35-17 victory over the Lions.

Lazard was on the field for 42 of a possible 65 plays Monday, which was one fewer than Marquez Valdes-Scantling and 30 more than Randall Cobb. However, he did not garner even one pass in his direction from quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Based on snaps played Lazard is pretty clearly a top-three option among Packers wideouts, but with just two receptions and 16 yards through two weeks, he's going to be tough to trust in fantasy lineups in Week 3.

Snead caught his only target for 14 yards in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.

Snead played less than five offensive snaps for a second straight week, but he managed to record his first reception of the season Sunday in Pittsburgh. Nonetheless, Snead remains behind Zay Jones in the pecking order at wide receiver for the Raiders.

Renfrow caught five of seven targets for 57 yards Sunday in the Raiders' 26-17 win over the Steelers. He also returned two punts for 26 yards.

Renfrow has yet to find the end zone this season, but he's recorded 11 receptions for 127 yards on 16 targets through two weeks despite logging less than 30 offensive snaps in Pittsburgh on Sunday. The slot receiver is pacing the Raiders' WR corps in targets, and quarterback Derek Carr could be forced to rely on Renfrow even more often against the Dolphins in Week 3 as cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Byron Jones attempt to blanket Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards on the outside.

Edwards caught three passes on as many targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.

Edwards, who fell less than a yard shy of scoring in overtime during the Raiders' season opener, also had a touchdown grab negated by a holding penalty in Pittsburgh. The second-year wide receiver led his position group in snaps (74 percent), but he ultimately finished just fifth on the team in receiving with four other pass catchers recording five receptions apiece, as quarterback Derek Carr took advantage of an injury-riddled Steelers defense. A tougher test likely awaits in Week 3 as Miami's secondary features cornerbacks Xavien Howard and Byron Jones.

Ward was not targeted in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.

On the bright side, Ward played 21 snaps on offense, up five from last week. It looks like it will take an injury to one of the Eagles' starting three receivers for him to become relevant in the offense again.

Patrick secured three of four targets for 37 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 23-13 win over the Jaguars.

With fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy landing on injured reserve due to a high ankle sprain, Patrick stepped in and played 74 percent of Denver's offensive snaps in Week 2. The receiver's TD was his second of the season, and it's clear that Teddy Bridgewater is building strong chemistry with Patrick. Going forward, he should be an important part of the Broncos' passing attack, making him an intriguing option in fantasy lineups while Jeudy misses time. Patrick has a chance to build on this early-season momentum when the Broncos host the struggling Jets in Week 3.

Valdes-Scantling was targeted four times but did not make a catch in Monday night's 35-17 win over the Lions.

Valdes-Scantling had a frustrating outing, but not really through any fault of his own. His first target was broken up along the sideline, then quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed him with a would-be one-yard touchdown later on. Valdes-Scantling subsequently was overthrown by Rodgers on two attempted deep shots in the second half when he had a step on his man. He and Rodgers will hope to get their timing down ahead of Week 3's matchup versus the 49ers.
