Hopkins corralled five of eight targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 13-12 win against Jacksonville.

Sunday's modest offering marked just the second time over his past 27 regular-season appearances that Hopkins has been held to fewer than 50 receiving yards. Many participating in daily fantasy may have been dissuaded by a matchup against Jacksonville's uber-talented secondary, but Hopkins proved capable of producing against these same Jaguars in 2018, logging 15 catches for 197 yards and a touchdown in two outings against them. In Week 3, Hopkins will face a Chargers defense that has allowed a combined 204 receiving yards and three touchdowns to opposing No. 1 receivers -- T.Y. Hilton and Kenny Golladay -- thus far in 2019.

Beasley caught all four of his targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Giants.

Beasley did most of his damage on a 51-yard catch in the second quarter. With nine catches for 123 yards through two games, Beasley looks like the clear-cut second option in Buffalo's passing game after John Brown.

Brown caught eight of 13 targets for 86 yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over Arizona.

Brown didn't have an encore quite as good as his two-touchdown beatdown of Miami in Week 1, but the numbers still look pretty good. The rookie first round pick has quickly emerged as a go-to target for Lamar Jackson with 18 targets in two games as compared to veteran Willie Snead's four. A favorable matchup awaits in Week 3 against the Chiefs.

Adams caught seven of nine targets for 106 yards during Sunday's 21-16 win over the Vikings.

Adams comfortably paced the team in targets, catches and yards despite facing a strong Minnesota secondary. He posted a long gain of 39 yards and averaged 17.6 yards per catch in a nice bounce-back effort after he totaled 36 yards in the season opener. Adams will face a third consecutive tough matchup next Sunday at home against the Broncos, but his status as Aaron Rodgers' main target should still afford him plenty of opportunities to produce.

Turner caught all three of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 28-26 win over the Steelers.

When Jaron Brown committed his second penalty of the game in the second quarter, Turner came in as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. He caught all of his passes in the second quarter and was silent in the second half. Turner may have a shot to unseat Jaron Brown moving forward, but he'll be battling for a No. 4 spot once David Moore (shoulder) returns, which could be as early as Week 3 versus the Saints.

Williams recorded three catches (on five targets) for 83 yards in Sunday's 13-10 defeat at Detroit. Afterward, he told Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register that the Chargers were "being cautious" with the knee injury that limited his practice reps during the week.

Williams' snap count on offense wasn't immediately known, but he was shuttled in and out of the contest with his knee in mind. Despite the limitations, he ranked third in targets behind Keenan Allen (15) and Austin Ekeler (six) with tight end Hunter Henry (knee) out of the lineup for the first of many outings. As long as this is the status quo for the Chargers' passing attack, Williams will be the second or third option available to quarterback Philip Rivers.

Jones caught five of six targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Chargers.

The deep threat was mostly targeted in the intermediate parts of the field, but Matthew Stafford did try forcing a bomb to Jones in double coverage only for the pass to be intercepted. Clearly the No. 2 option behind Kenny Golladay, Jones' production might continue to be dependent on the few big-play opportunities he sees per game, and it's likely he won't be of much utility on days like Sunday when he isn't able to find the end zone. Next up is a beatable Eagles secondary on the road in Week 3.

Byrd caught six of seven passes for 45 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore.

Byrd came up big on a handful of key conversions Sunday, including on a quick slant on fourth down early in the second quarter. Byrd is listed as WR5, but with the Cardinals slinging it a whopping 99 times in two games and Byrd already with 10 catches to start the season, his value may be closer to that of a WR3 or WR4 on a less prolific team. Next up is a visit from traditionally stingy Carolina defense that finds itself 0-2 to start the year.

Gallup caught six of eight targets for 68 yards during Sunday's 31-21 win over the Redskins.

Gallup fell short of the 158 yards he piled up last week, but he still led the team in targets and receptions. There were many storylines surrounding the team leading into the season, which perhaps overshadowed the second-year wideout's emergence into a reliable contributor. Gallup has already totaled 226 yards while hauling in 13 of 15 targets, putting him on pace to blow past the numbers he posted in his rookie season. He should have plenty of opportunities to continue his strong start next Sunday at home against a terrible Dolphins team.

Kirk caught six of eight targets for 114 yards during Sunday's 23-17 loss to Baltimore.

Kirk was targeted plenty in Week 1, but came away with little to show for it. That wasn't the case Sunday as Arizona got Kirk involved early, including on a 34-yard deep shot early in the first quarter. Arizona has attempted 99 passes through two weeks and Kirk has seen 20 of those targets, so opportunities shouldn't be an issue this season. Next up is a Carolina defense that was solid against the pass in 2018 and is desperate to avoid an 0-3 start.
