  • Damiere Byrd WR | BUF

    Patriots' Damiere Byrd: Sticks as starter

    Byrd caught six passes (nine targets) for 72 yards in Sunday's 35-30 loss to Seattle.

    Byrd remained as a starter opposite N'Keal Harry, logging 85 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The production finally caught up with the playing time after he started Week 1 and had zero receptions. Byrd should continue to see the field for the majority of offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Seahawks' David Moore: Hauls in deep TD pass

    Moore caught all three targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-30 win over the Patriots.

    Moore logged 51 percent of the offensive snaps because Phillip Dorsett (foot) remained on the sidelines, and he capitalized on the opportunity, hauling in a tip-toeing, 38-yard TD pass to start the third quarter. There's no clear timeline on when Dorsett will be back, but Moore's snap count will take a hit when he returns.

  • N'Keal Harry TE | SEA

    Patriots' N'Keal Harry: Hauls in eight passes

    Harry (shoulder) had eight receptions (12 targets) for 72 yards in Sunday's 35-30 loss to Seattle.

    Harry's shoulder injury didn't limit the wideout, as he was on the field for 86 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps. The 22-year-old already has surpassed his yardage total from 2019 in just two games (111 yards). It appears that having Cam Newton under center is beneficial to an outside threat like Harry, as he is more willing to let deeper routes develop. With 18 targets and 13 receptions through two games, Harry has entered the conversation in PPR formats heading into a favorable matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Sprained MCL and PCL

    Campbell is nursing a sprained MCL and PCL and does not yet have an official recovery timetable, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Campbell initially was reported to have only injured his PCL on the second play of Sunday's win over the Vikings, but after undergoing an MRI on Monday damage to his MCL was also revealed. It's good news for Campbell that his ACL was spared, but he now looks in line for another lengthy recovery timeframe after dealing with an injury-riddled rookie season in 2019. Rookie second-round pick Michael Pittman and Zach Pascal will handle starting roles across from T.Y. Hilton in three-wide sets.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Done for the year with ACL tear

    Sutton suffered a torn ACL and MCL during Sunday's loss to the Steelers and will miss the rest of the 2020 season, Brandon Krisztal of KOA Colorado reports.

    Sutton's season-ending injury is devastating news for Denver's offense, and the development is further exacerbated by the expectation that Drew Lock (shoulder) will miss 2-to-6 weeks, per Mike Klis of 9News Denver. The third-year wideout missed Week 1 due to a shoulder injury, so his 2020 campaign will come to a premature end after just three catches for 66 yards in a single game. Sutton was hugely impressive in 2019 and no doubt will remain an integral part of the Broncos' offensive plans for the future, but for the rest of this season rookie Jerry Jeudy will get a chance to show what he can do as the team's No. 1 wideout. KJ Hamler, Tim Patrick and DaeSean Hamilton are candidates to handle starting roles in three-receiver sets.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Sidelined with PCL injury

    Campbell (knee) suffered a PCL injury during Sunday's win over the Vikings and is expected to be out indefinitely, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Campbell had to be carted off the field Sunday after injuring his knee, so it's encouraging to see that he avoided the worst-case scenario of an ACL tear. However, the results of Monday's MRI make it look as though Campbell is in danger of missing significant time. It appears to be only a matter of time before the Colts officially rule Campbell out for Week 3 against the Jets, in which case Michael Pittman and Zach Pascal will be in line to see increased work across from T.Y. Hilton.

  • Quintez Cephus WR | HOU

    Lions' Quintez Cephus: Catches another trio of passes

    Cephus caught all three of his targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

    After seeing 10 targets in the season opener, Cephus predictably experienced a significant downturn in offensive involvement despite the continued absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring). While Golladay's impending return eventually will push Cephus back to the fringes of the fantasy radar, Golladay isn't a lock to see a full workload even if he suits up for Week 3 against the Cardinals. Should Golladay sit or be limited in any way, it's worth keeping in mind that Cephus has seen more red-zone targets than any other member of the Lions receiving corps through two weeks.

  • Chris Godwin WR | TB

    Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Clears concussion protocol

    Godwin fully cleared the league's five-step concussion protocol on Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Godwin was forced to sit out Sunday's win over the Panthers due to a concussion, but coach Bruce Arians has already confirmed that he's "good to go" for Week 3 at Denver, per Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. The 24-year-old wideout will return to the lineup alongside Mike Evans as one of Tom Brady's clear top targets, a development which will push Scotty Miller back into the No. 3 spot and Justin Watson into a depth role.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Rams' Josh Reynolds: Just two catches against Eagles

    Reynold caught both his targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 37-19 win over Philadelphia.

    The fourth-year receiver's two targets ranked sixth on the team and fourth among wideouts, so while Reynolds played a respectable 42 of 69 offensive snaps, he didn't have a significant impact. Additionally, with rookie Van Jefferson impressing again Sunday, Reynolds could quickly see himself relegated to fourth on the wide receiver depth chart and playing less. Barring an injury to another Los Angeles receiver, Reynolds' fantasy value probably is on the decline.

  • Jets' Breshad Perriman: Week-to-week with ankle sprain

    Perriman sprained his ankle during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers and is considered week-to-week, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Perriman was limited to two catches for 12 yards before his ankle injury forced him off the field Sunday. The 27-year-old's week-to-week designation doesn't necessarily rule him out for Week 3 at Indianapolis, but it looks possible that he could be forced to miss time. On a positive note for New York's receiving corps, Chris Hogan (ribs) is believed to have avoided a serious injury.
