  • Stefon Diggs WR | WAS

    Bills' Stefon Diggs: Finds end zone in blowout win

    Diggs caught four of eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-0 win over Miami.

    Diggs scored from five yards out in the first quarter but it's disappointing that he wasn't more involved after that given Buffalo's success offensively. The Bills relied primarily on the ground game in the blowout win, but Diggs remains the team's clear top option in the passing game. After battling two of the league's top secondaries in the Steelers and Dolphins, Diggs should find more space to work with in Week 3 against Washington.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Disappointing yardage total

    Robinson caught two passes for 24 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Robinson scored on the first drive of the game but didn't make his next catch until the fourth quarter. However, his last two targets of the game were in the end zone on passes from Justin Fields with one being broken up, and the other one he dropped. Despite the disappointing performance, Robinson should continue to be one of the most productive wide receivers in the league, as he'll likely see solid target volume in most games.

  • DJ Chark WR | ATL

    Jaguars' DJ Chark: Held to one catch Sunday

    Chark caught one of four targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 23-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Marvin Jones had a 25-yard touchdown reception to finish Jacksonville's opening possession, but QB Trevor Lawrence and the rest of the offense failed to get anything going the rest of the afternoon. Chark had only three catches Week 1 but was still targeted 12 times, and he wasn't nearly as involved in the offense this week. Outside of a 41-yard touchdown catch Week 1, the 24-year-old wideout has failed to establish a consistent connection with the rookie signal-caller through the first two games of 2021.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Injured late in Sunday's game

    Johnson was helped off the field after suffering an unspecified injury late in Sunday's 26-17 loss to the Raiders, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Johnson logged a 9-105-0 stat line on 12 targets in the contest, but now the focus turns to his status for next Sunday's game against the Bengals. If he's out or limited next weekend, James Washington presumably would see added WR snaps behind Chase Claypool and JuJu Smith-Schuster.

  • Cooper Kupp WR | SEA

    Rams' Cooper Kupp: Another prolific performance Sunday

    Kupp secured nine of 11 targets for 163 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams' 27-24 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    On the heels of a 7-108-1 line in the season-opening win over the Bears, Kupp outdid himself in only his second regular-season game working as one of Matthew Stafford's targets. The two have clearly built significant chemistry very quickly, and Kupp's game-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals Sunday included touchdown grabs of 16 and 10 yards in the first and fourth quarters, respectively. With two stellar performances to open the season, Kupp's fantasy stock is soaring in all formats going into a Week 3 home showdown against the Buccaneers.

  • Jaelon Darden WR | SEA

    Buccaneers' Jaelon Darden: Inactive in Week 2

    Darden (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 tilt against the Falcons.

    The speedy rookie was also a spectator for the Week 1 win over the Cowboys. Darden will likely have trouble making many inroads on a deep receiver depth chart as long as there isn't a rash of injuries, but he's believed to have plenty of potential as a return man. However, veteran Jaydon Mickens will handle the latter duties again versus Atlanta on Sunday.

  • Jakeem Grant WR | ATL

    Dolphins' Jakeem Grant: Injures ankle Sunday

    Grant (anke) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.

    Grant suffered the injury in the first half of the contest. If he is unable to return, rookie first-round pick Jaylen Waddle will likely take on return duties for the remainder of the contest.

  • Nico Collins WR | HOU

    Texans' Nico Collins: Injures shoulder

    Collins left Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Prior to his exit from the contest, Collins caught his only target for 32 yards. In his absence, Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley and Danny Amendola are in line to head the Texans' Week 2 WR corps.

  • Nsimba Webster WR | CHI

    Bears' Nsimba Webster: Active for Week 2

    Webster (hamstring) is listed as active ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Bengals.

    Webster was added to the injury report Friday, but he was still a full participant in practice. The 25-year-old played just six special-teams snaps Week 1 and will likely handle his usual punt-returning duties Sunday.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Rams' Ben Skowronek: Won't face Colts

    Skowronek (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the Colts, Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Skowronek missed the team's opening game of the season due to a forearm injury. While he was taken off the injury report leading up to Week 2, Skowronek will have to wait at least one more week to make his season debut.
