Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Will miss 3-to-4 weeks
Collins (shoulder) is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Collins has compiled two catches through two games, so the rookie third-round pick's absence is unlikely to have much of an effect on Houston's offense. Anthony Miller should see an uptick in playing time while Collins recovers, though Brandin Cooks remains the only member of the Texans' receiving corps that's expected to make a significant impact on a weekly basis.

Olamide Zaccheaus WR | ATL
Falcons' Olamide Zaccheaus: Two catches in Week 2
Zaccheaus caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers.
Zaccheaus was more involved after a goose egg in the season opener, but he still finished sixth on the team in targets, catches and receiving yards, with all five players ahead of him catching at least five passes. With Atlanta involving its running backs and tight ends in the passing game, the No. 3 wide receiver's volume will remain capped barring injuries to some of his teammates.

Russell Gage WR | SF
Falcons' Russell Gage: Just 28 yards in Week 2
Gage caught five of seven targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 48-25 loss to Tampa Bay.
Gage was in and out of the game due to an ankle injury, and the injury may have played a role in his inability to create separation downfield; his longest gain went for just eight yards. Atlanta's new No. 2 wide receiver following the offseason departure of Julio Jones has struggled to take advantage of his prominent role thus far, as quarterback Matt Ryan has spread the ball out to tight ends and running backs behind top wideout Calvin Ridley. Gage will look to put his slow start behind him on the road against the Giants in Week 3.

Tyron Johnson WR | DAL
Jaguars' Tyron Johnson: One target Week 2
Johnson failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.
The 25-year-old was targeted on a deep ball during the fourth quarter by Trevor Lawrence, a pass which was intercepted. Laviska Shenault's shoulder injury appears to be a minor concern, so Johnson will likely continue seeing limited offensive opportunities.
-
Jamal Agnew WR | ATL
Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Delivers return touchdown
Agnew returned two kickoffs for 120 yards and a touchdown and one punt for two yards during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.
Agnew provided Jacksonville with its second touchdown of the day during the fourth quarter with his 102-yard kick return. He played only four offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in the contest. The 26-year-old hasn't been targeted through two games and should continue to see most of his opportunities in the return game.

Davion Davis WR | WAS
Davion Davis: Let go by Cleveland
The Browns waived Davis on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Davis was suspended for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL's Policy and Program on Substances of Abuse, a ban that ended Monday. The 24-year-old wideout led the Browns in receiving yards during the preseason and should garner some interest from around the league.

Kadarius Toney WR | CLE
Giants' Kadarius Toney: No targets in Week 2
Toney wasn't targeted in Thursday's 30-29 loss to Washington.
Toney totaled two receptions for minus-2 yards in his NFL debut last week, but he didn't get any looks while playing 28 percent of the team's offensive snaps Thursday. The 2021 first-rounder missed a significant portion of camp and has had a slow start to his professional career.
-
Laviska Shenault Jr. WR | BUF
Jaguars' Laviska Shenault: May not miss time
Coach Urban Meyer said Monday that Shenault (shoulder) "should" be available Week 3 versus the Cardinals, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Shenault managed to avoid a serious shoulder injury after being forced out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos, and John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports that he's expected to practice this week. While it would be good news if Shenault can return to game action without any absences, it may be difficult to rely on him for fantasy purposes versus Arizona. Before being forced out versus Denver, the second-year wideout only had two catches for minus-3 yards, despite having drawn seven targets.
-
Mike Strachan WR | WAS
Colts' Mike Strachan: No receptions despite larger role
Strachan did not convert his only target into a reception in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Strachan played 33 snaps on offense, the third most of any Colts receiver, as he got more playing time with Parris Campbell sidelined with an abdominal injury. However, Strachan wasn't a big part of the game plan. Still, he could emerge with a larger role next week against Tennessee if Campbell remains out.
-
Ashton Dulin WR | IND
Colts' Ashton Dulin: Scores special teams TD
Dulin had one reception for 10 yards and recovered a botched punt attempt for a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Rams.
Dulin started in the slot and played 25 snaps on offense as he saw an increased role with Parris Campbell sidelined with an abdominal injury. He worked as the third and fourth wider receiver with Michael Strachan playing 33 snaps on offense. Dulin's primary value is on specials teams as he showed when he recovered a punt attempt that had a bad snap near the opponent's end zone.
