Collins had three receptions (on nine targets) for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.

Quarterback C.J. Stroud wasted no time finding his favorite target in the end zone Monday when he floated a rainbow in to Collins on the Texans' first possession of the game. The athletic receiver made a near-impossible grab where he managed to keep both of his feet in bounds for a millisecond before the momentum of the pass carried him out of the end zone. It wasn't all roses for Collins, as he finished the contest with an abysmal 33 percent catch rate on a team-high nine targets. The end result was still a significant improvement over the star wideout's Week 1 stinker. Collins' next opportunity to put up the consistent WR1 numbers managers have become accustomed to from him will be in a road matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Egbuka brought in four of seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

The rookie first-round pick had a relatively quiet latter portion of the game, but not before making his mark with what was already his third trip to the end zone through two NFL games. Egbuka scored on a nifty 15-yard catch and run in the second quarter, a play that accounted for more than half of his receiving yardage on the night. The Texans, like the Falcons in Week 1, generally did a good job keeping plays in front of them, but Egbuka could benefit from the heavy attention Sauce Gardner is likely to bestow on Mike Evans in a Week 3 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday afternoon.

Evans secured five of 11 targets for 56 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-19 win over the Texans on Monday night.

Evans comfortably led the Buccaneers in targets and also set the pace in receiving yards, albeit by a smaller margin. The Texans did a good job overall disrupting the rhythm between Evans and Baker Mayfield, leading to Evans' second straight five-catch, sub-60-yard effort to open the season. The successful QB-WR duo will look to author their first breakout performance of 2025 when the Buccaneers host the Jets in a Week 3 matchup on Sunday afternoon.

Dotson was held to one catch for four yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.

Dotson was the Eagles' leading receiver in Week 1, catching three passes for 59 yards, but his Week 2 performance is probably more in line with what can be expected going forward. Outside of a Week 18 game in which the Eagles rested their starters, Dotson averaged less than a catch per game last year, and with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith still ahead of him on the depth chart, that's unlikely to change.

Whittington secured both of his targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 33-19 win against the Titans.

With the Rams looking for insurance midway through the fourth quarter, Whittington managed to find a seam and grab a dart from Matthew Stafford for a 40-yard reception, which led to a Blake Corum rushing touchdown a few plays later. Whittington has seemingly pushed past Tutu Atwell on the depth chart, but Puka Nacua and Davante Adams will likely command the majority of Stafford's attention barring an injury. However, Whittington has shown he's capable of being a primary target (13-151-0 receiving line over two games as a starter last season), which could make him an intriguing fantasy option if Nacua (who missed six games due to injury last season) or Adams (who missed four) were to miss any time.

The Commanders signed Moore from their practice squad to their active roster Monday.

Moore was elevated for Week 1 against the Giants and caught his only target for a 34-yard reception. He didn't get elevated for Week 2, but he will now get a spot on the 53-man roster after Washington placed Austin Ekeler (Achilles) and Deatrich Wise (quadriceps) on injured reserve Monday. Moore will likely work as both a depth wideout and a special-teamer.

The Raiders elevated Bachman from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Chargers.

It's the second elevation to the active roster for Bachman, who played two offensive snaps and failed to haul in his lone target during the Raiders' Week 1 win over the Patriots. The 29-year-old wideout will get another shot at playing time Monday and will likely see most of his snaps on special teams.

San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Jennings came out of Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints with an ankle injury, Jennifer Lee Chan of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, Jennings is viewed as day-to-day as this weekend's game against the Cardinals approaches. Jennings, who had been nursing a shoulder injury heading into Week 2, parlayed his 87 percent snap share into a 5-89-1 receiving line on a team-high 10 targets in the victory over New Orleans.

Washington (thumb) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Washington was third among Miami's wideouts with 35 (of a possible 57) snaps on offense during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Patriots en route to catching one of his two targets for two yards and carrying three times for 23 yards. As long as Tyreek Hill (seven targets) and Jaylen Waddle (six targets) are healthy, however, both Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will remain speculative fantasy lineup options ahead of Thursday's game against the Bills.

Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Texans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Johnson saw eight snaps on offense but failed to haul in his lone target during the Buccaneers' Week 1 win over the Falcons. The rookie seventh-rounder will observe Monday's game in street clothes, and whether he's active on gameday will likely depend on the health of the Bucs' receiving corps and return specialists. Johnson's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Jets on Sunday.
