Beasley nabbed two of three targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants.

Following a 64-yard early touchdown to Tavon Austin, Dallas failed to top 100 passing yards for the rest of the game. Despite not getting much action on primetime, Beasley still leads the team in targets, catches and yards. That loses some of its luster when you consider that Dallas' passing offense ranks 31st in the league. A tough matchup awaits against a Seattle defense that ranks 10th in opponent passer rating.

Holmes was targeted four times during Sunday's loss to the Chargers but did not catch a pass.

The veteran has just one catch for 14 yards through two games. Holmes essentially served as the third wideout Sunday, seeing 58 percent of the offensive snaps with the Bills only using four active receivers. His height and athleticism will get him into the end zone occasionally -- he's had three or more scores each of the last four seasons -- but Holmes remains an unappealing fantasy option in an unappealing offense.

Sharp was added to Buffalo's practice squad Tuesday.

Sharp spent the 2017 season with the Giants and, in the two games he was active, accumulated five catches for 54 yards and a touchdown. That, however, wasn't enough for him to make New York's roster this season, as he was released in early September. If activated, Sharp -- who also has experience as a punt returner -- will provide depth to Buffalo's receiving corps.

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.
