Valdes-Scantling caught one pass for three yards in Sunday's tie with the Vikings.

Valdes-Scantling played just six snaps Sunday, but that was four more than he was on the field for in Week 1, and it was still enough to allow him to notch the first reception of his professional career. He seems pretty locked into the No. 4 spot at his position on the Packers' depth chart as of now, but with three talented and productive receivers ahead of him, his contributions will remain minimal as long as the top trio remains healthy.

Smith caught his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's win against the Browns.

The catch was the first of his career, but Smith played just 22 of the Saints' 66 offensive snaps. Still, this represents an increase over the 12 snaps the rookie played in his Week 1 debut. While the Central Florida product made a splash during the preseason, he probably does not need to be owned outside of dynasty and super deep leagues until he earns more playing time.

Clay was sidelined with an ankle injury in Sunday's 20-13 loss to Dallas.

The severity of Clay's injury remains unclear and his practice status this week will give a better indication of his health. His absence doesn't impact the Giants offense greatly, as his role is primarily as a punt and kick returner.

Williams caught both of his targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-20 win over the Bills.

It was a bit disappointing to see Williams only targeted twice as No. 3 wide receiver Travis Benjamin (foot) was inactive for Sunday's contest. Still, Williams corralled his first career touchdown early in the first quarter, holding onto the catch despite being hit by two different defenders. After the game Williams hinted the pass was drawn up specifically for him, which would seem to suggest the second-year player is becoming a more prominent target in the red zone. Given his large frame (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) it wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams gain more looks near the end zone as the season progresses.

Montgomery had five carries for 31 yards and one reception for nine yards in Sunday's tie with the Vikings.

Montgomery had a couple nice runs in Sunday's contest, but he was still the second option in the Packers' backfield, playing 26 snaps to Jamaal Williams' 47. Montgomery has averaged 24.5 snaps per game through two weeks, but that number could fall a bit moving forward, as fellow running back Aaron Jones has completed a two-game suspension and will presumably cut into the playing time of both Montgomery and Williams.

Cobb caught four passes for 30 yards in Sunday's tie with the Vikings.

Cobb exploded for 142 yards and a score in Week 1, but he was unable to come close to matching those numbers in the second game of the season. He presumably remains the No. 2 option at the wide receiver position for the Packers, but with Jimmy Graham and Geronimo Allison producing and Davante Adams locked in as the team's No. 1 receiver, there will be games like Sunday's -- he finished fourth on the team in receptions and yards and tied for third in targets -- where he finds himself lower on the pecking order.

Shepard caught three of five targets for 24 yards Sunday against the Cowboys.

The Giants offense struggled all game, and Shepard never got going. He's still a key cog in the team's offensive system, Sunday night's game notwithstanding.

Crowder caught two of four targets for eight yards and took two carries for 29 yards in Sunday's 21-9 loss to Indianapolis.

The only positive was an uptick in play volume, with Crowder's snap share jumping from 62 percent Week 1 all the way to 93 percent Week 2. He nonetheless finished fifth on the team in targets and sixth in receptions, with RB Chris Thompson and TE Jordan Reed doing the heavy lifting -- 19 combined receptions -- for a second time in as many weeks. It'll be hard to trust any Washington wide receiver in a Week 3 home game against the Packers.

Humphries brought in one of two targets for eight yards, returned one kickoff for 13 yards and ran back three punts for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 27-21 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

As was the case Week 1, Humphries was involved as the primary returner and shared third-receiver duties with Chris Godwin. Both Humphries and Godwin played 29 snaps apiece from scrimmage, but the latter saw four more targets overall. Godwin could eventually overtake the fourth-year wideout due to his superior overall talent, but Humphries' crafty work out of the slot should continue affording him some serviceable playing time throughout the season.

Godwin brought in five of six targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 27-21 win over the Eagles on Sunday.

Godwin was one of four Buccaneers pass catchers to benefit from another prolific effort from Ryan Fitzpatrick. The second-year receiver now has a pair of touchdowns over his first two games and has hauled in 80 percent of his 10 targets in a secondary role behind starters Mike Evans and DeSean Jackson. Godwin encouragingly played the same 29 snaps that fellow wideout Adam Humphries did, so as expected, Godwin is essentially serving as the co-No. 3 wideout to open the campaign.
