Kirk hauled in four of five targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 34-0 loss to the Rams.

Is the glass half full or half empty in the desert for Kirk? On one hand, he was given more opportunities in Arizona's offense following a one-catch debut. On the other, that offense is dead last in the league in points and yards from scrimmage through two weeks. The Cardinals were barely ever a threat to score on the Rams on Sunday, and until they show signs of life, Kirk probably won't offer much from a fantasy perspective.

Grant snagged two of four targets for 27 yards and added a five-yard run during Sunday's 20-12 win over the Jets.

Grant has been primarily limited to underneath routes through two weeks but showed he has the ability to burn opponents during his Week 1 return for a touchdown. The diminutive receiver leads the team in targets through two weeks but may face the squeeze upon DeVante Parker's (finger) forthcoming return to the lineup.

Conley nabbed both of his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Chiefs' 42-37 win over the Steelers.

Pat Mahomes spread the wealth around generously in Week 2, as Conley was one of five players to reel in the quarterback's six touchdown passes. While finding paydirt was enough for Conley to pay dividends for those in deeper leagues who activated him, he's drawn only three targets across 71 offensive snaps through the Chiefs' two games. Since tight end Travis Kelce and wideouts Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins compare favorably with just about any team's top three pass catchers, there may not be much incentive for the Chiefs to expand their usage tree and make getting Conley the ball a greater priority.

Beasley corralled two of three targets for 13 yards Sunday in the Cowboys' 20-13 win over the Giants.

With the Cowboys leaning heavily on their backfield in a game they led wire to wire, Beasley's modest yardage total was good for third on the team. Since he typically doesn't run deep routes out of the slot, Beasley is unlikely to provide major yardage production even when the game flow favors the Cowboys' passing attack, but he gets a boost in PPR formats thanks to his status as one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite short-yardage targets.

Carter was waived by the Eagles on Tuesday.

Carter was waived in order to create a roster spot for Josh Adams, who was signed from the practice squad to the active roster this week. The move is still a curious one, however, as the Eagles now have just three healthy wide receivers rostered after waiving Carter. The wideout caught just one ball for 10 yards across the first two games of the season.

Bellamy caught one pass for six yards in Monday's victory over the Seahawks.

Although Bellamy's played in both games, this was the first target he's seen. Unless the Bears suffer injuries at wide receiver, it's hard to envision a scenario where he has consistent weekly production.

Butler agreed to a contract Tuesday with the Cowboys, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

The Cowboys already have six other healthy wideouts on the roster, so it seems likely the team will release a player from that position group in order to make room on the 53-man roster for Butler, who spent the past three seasons with the organization. Butler bolted for Arizona during the offseason on a two-year deal, but he became a roster casualty after turning in an unimpressive training camp and preseason. Butler's past experience with the Cowboys' coaching staff should help him get up to speed quickly with the playbook, but it's unlikely that he'll emerge as a consistent contributor in the team's passing attack. The 28-year-old does offer some utility as a downfield threat, however, as evidenced by an excellent 16.1 career yard-per-catch average.

Marshall caught four passes on six targets for 44 yards during Monday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Marshall was a hot waiver wire pickup after Doug Baldwin went down, and he proved why with the second-most targets on the team Week 2. It was a dismal showing for fantasy owners that chose to start him. Marshall will shift his focus to a Week 3 matchup against the Cowboys, who have allowed just one passing touchdown over the first two weeks.

Lockett caught five of seven targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Lockett's performance was highlighted by an excellent 19-yard grab in the back corner of the end zone to bring Seattle within a touchdown during the fourth quarter. That catch gave Lockett two scores in as many appearances this season, already matching his 2017 total. In leading the Seahawks in all major receiving categories Monday, Lockett continued to take advantage of Doug Baldwin (knee) being sidelined.

Robinson caught 10 of 14 targets for 83 yards in Monday night's 24-17 win over the Seahawks.

Robinson comfortably led the Bears in all major receiving categories, making a strong impact in his home debut. In fact, Monday marked just the second time in Robinson's career that he finished with double-digit catches in a game. While that's certainly an encouraging sign to begin his time in Chicago, the team's top wideout will now look to find the end zone for the first time in his new colors Week 3 versus the Cardinals.
