Mooney caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Chicago's 17-13 victory over the Giants on Sunday.

With Ted Ginn a healthy scratch, Mooney again saw significant work as an outside receiver, and it's beginning to look as if the rookie will have a prominent role in the offense. He was fortunate on his touchdown reception, as Mitchell Trubisky threw the ball across the field, and Mooney was able to secure the football just before the defender could make a play. Mooney has been targeted three times while posting over 35 yards in each contest to start the season, and he's frequently seeing single coverage playing across the field from Allen Robinson, which will give him a chance to post regular production. At this point, he's a player that fantasy managers should consider adding to rosters as a depth piece in the hopes he can boost his target volume in the upcoming weeks.

Ridley caught seven of a team-high 10 targets, collecting 109 receiving yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 40-39 loss to Dallas.

The Alabama product is enjoying a prolific start to the 2020 campaign, as he has now led the Falcons in targets over each of the team's first two outings of the year, picking up an outstanding 16 catches, 239 yards and four touchdowns in the process. Rampant touchdown production is nothing new for Ridley, as with two touchdowns Week 1 against the Seahawks, he tied Julio Jones for the most receiving TDs (19) through a player's first 30 games as a Falcon. Atlanta has put up an astronomical 90 pass attempts through its first two outings of the year, indicating that Ridley may continue to provide immense value so long as he can stay healthy. The slate becomes more difficult in Week 3, however, as the Falcons host a Bears defense that has allowed just one receiver to go over 65 yards thus far this season.

Jones caught four of six targets for 23 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

Jones' four-yard touchdown late in the first quarter gave Detroit a 14-3 lead, but it was all Packers from there. The veteran receiver is off to a pedestrian start with eight catches for 78 yards and a touchdown through two games. Jones will hope to pick up the pace against the Cardinals in Week 3.

Cole caught six of seven targets for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.

The 27-year-old is proving to be a favorite target of QB Gardner Minshew's early in the season, as his seven targets tied for the highest total on the team. Cole caught only 24 passes for 361 yards and three scores last season, but he's been significantly more involved in the offense in 2020 with 11 receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

Perriman is slated to undergo tests on his injured ankle Monday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

With Jamison Crowder (hamstring) sidelined in Week 2 and Chris Hogan (ribs) now banged up as well, the Jets' wideout corps is hurting as Week 3's game against the Colts approaches. Prior to his exit from Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Perriman caught both of his targets for 12 yards.

Lazard caught three of five targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 42-21 win over Detroit.

Once again, Lazard was slightly outplayed by Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who had three catches for 64 yards on seven targets. Both wide receivers could take on more prominent roles against the Saints in Week 3, as No. 1 wideout Davante Adams left Sunday's game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury.

Shenault rushed five times for 37 yards and caught three of four targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to Tennessee.

The rookie's receiving numbers were nearly identical to the season opener -- minus the touchdown -- but he was more involved in the run game this week. The Jaguars continue to utilize Shenault as a flex back/receiver, and he appears to have a consistent role in the offense to open the season.

Diggs secured eight of 13 targets for 153 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 31-28 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

The offseason arrival has been a natural fit in the Bills offense over the first two games of the campaign, with Diggs now having notched eight grabs apiece against the Jets and Dolphins and already recording his first 100-yard effort in a Buffalo uniform. Sunday, Diggs managed team-high totals in receptions, receiving yardage and targets while also making his first scoring connection with quarterback Josh Allen on a 22-yard grab early in the second quarter. Diggs' early usage implies coordinator Brian Daboll is already dialed in on how to best deploy him, leaving fantasy managers buoyant ahead of the Bills' Week 3 home matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

Robinson caught three passes for 33 yards in the Bears' 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Even though the Bears played conservatively in the second half while protecting a double-digit lead, Robinson still saw nine targets, which was six more than any of his teammates. Although he was busy, a number of erratic passes from Mitch Trubisky led to multiple missed connections and a poor fantasy performance. However, with upcoming matchups against the Falcons and Colts, expect Robinson to return to the levels of performance that fantasy managers expected when selecting him on draft day.

Chark caught all four of his targets for 84 yards during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.

The 2018 second-round pick led Jacksonville in receiving yards, but his four targets ranked tied-fourth among the team's pass catchers. Chark is off to somewhat of a slow start, notching seven catches for 109 yards and one touchdown through two games after totaling 1,008 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in a breakout 2019 campaign,
