Moore tallied seven catches (on eight targets) for 114 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-33 victory against the Vikings. He also had one kick return for 21 yards and three punt returns for 19 yards.

There was some question about how Moore would fit into the Cardinals offense after the team invested a second-round pick on him back in April. That said, quarterback Kyler Murray hasn't hesitated getting Moore involved in his first two pro outings, targeting the rookie 13 times, one of which resulted in a 77-yard TD near the end of the first half of Sunday's contest. The aforementioned volume prorates to 110.5 targets in the new 17-game slate, which should be enough for Moore to produce regularly in a high-powered scheme. He'll strive for another fruitful performance Week 3 when the Cardinals travel to Jacksonville.

Godwin brought in four of five targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Godwin checked in second only to Mike Evans in receiving yardage while sharing runner-up status in receptions with Rob Gronkowski and Leonard Fournette. The fifth-year wideout also found the end zone for the second time this season early in the fourth quarter, notching a key 12-yard scoring grab after the Falcons had closed the Buccaneers' lead to three points. Godwin will aim to continue the strong start to his season in a tough Week 3 road matchup against the Rams.

Shenault injured his shoulder in Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos and has an MRI scheduled for Monday to determine the extent of the injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Shenault's shoulder injury may have played a role in his quiet production (two catches for minus-3 yards), though the entire Jacksonville passing game struggled as the Denver defense overwhelmed rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The recovery timeline for Shenault's injury will likely be clarified once his MRI results come in.

Hopkins hauled in all four targets for 54 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-33 win versus the Vikings.

It was a reasonable enough follow-up to Hopkins' Week 1 receiving line of 6-83-2 on eight targets. However, in a game in which quarterback Kyler Murray piled up 400 yards and three TDs through the air, one would have hoped for more when looking at the box score. That's until the Vikings' defensive game plan is taken into account: Hopkins was on the receiving end of double coverage after recording four catches through the Cardinals' first two possessions of the game, and he didn't see a target after the 5:49 mark of the first quarter. He'll look for his first 100-yard performance of the campaign next Sunday in a road outing against the Jaguars.

Lockett reeled in eight of 11 targets for 178 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 overtime defeat to the Titans.

Lockett's connection with Russell Wilson has been on point through the first two games of the season, with the wide receiver posting back-to-back 100-yard efforts for the second time in his seven-year career. So far, Lockett and DK Metcalf are tied for the team lead with 16 targets on the campaign, but Lockett has been far more efficient, averaging a ridiculous 23.2 YPC and 17.4 YPT (versus 11.3 and 7.1, respectively, for Metcalf) while getting in the end zone in both contests. Lockett will seek another productive outing Week 3 in a road jaunt to Minnesota.

Ridley secured seven of 10 targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 48-25 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Ridley made his first 2021 trip to the end zone in the third quarter, hauling in a three-yard pass from Matt Ryan to close the Falcons' deficit to 11 points at the time. The Falcons' No. 1 wideout looked the part a bit more than during a pedestrian Week 1 effort, and he'll look to capitalize on a questionable Giants secondary in a Week 3 road battle.

Watkins recorded two receptions on two targets for 117 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

Watkins saw only a pair of targets, but he made the most of them. His first reception came late in the first quarter and went for 26 yards. One drive later, he recorded a 91-yard reception that finished just shy of the end zone. Watkins has only five targets through two weeks, but it appears that the Eagles are intent on getting the ball in his hands at least a few times per contest.

Evans secured five of nine targets for 75 yards and two touchdowns in the Buccaneers' 48-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

After mostly being left out of the fun in a wild Week 1 win over the Cowboys, Evans bounced back to pace the Buccaneers in receptions, receiving yards and targets Sunday. He also made his first two end-zone visits of the season, notching one- and three-yard touchdown receptions in the second and third quarters, respectively. Evans unsurprisingly confirmed his lackluster Week 1 showing was nothing for fantasy managers to be overly concerned with, but he'll have the unenviable task of facing Jalen Ramsey and the rest of his Rams secondary mates on the road in Week 3.

Claypool recorded three receptions on nine targets for 70 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Raiders.

Claypool was consistently targeted deep by Ben Roethlisberger, but the pair largely failed to connect. The one notable play between them came early in the fourth quarter, when Claypool hauled in a 52-yard pass to key a drive that ended in a touchdown. While much of Pittsburgh's offense is based around short and quick passes, Claypool stands out as the primary big-play threat. That could lead to plenty of explosive performances but may also result in frequent inefficiency as well.

Smith recorded two receptions on seven targets for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

Smith was the favorite target of Jalen Hurts, but the pair didn't find the same connection they showcased in Week 1. The Eagles' offense struggled overall, with Quez Watkins being the primary member of the offense to post notable production. While it's a positive that Smith remained the top target in the offense, his down performance highlights the volatility that the Eagles' offense could experience throughout the season.
