TeSlaa caught his only target for 29 yards in Sunday's 52-21 win over the Bears.

TeSlaa was expected to see an increase in workload with the offense Week 2, and he saw his offensive snap count rise from three snaps in Week 1 to 17 against Chicago on Sunday. The wide receiver once again provided a highlight reel catch, securing a leaping one-handed snag up the sideline for 29 yards to get the Lions inside the five-yard line with less than 20 seconds left in the first half. Through two games in 2025, TeSlaa has made two acrobatic catches on the two targets he's garnered, and he'll keep earning more opportunities if he continues to deliver results for Detroit. Fellow wide receiver Kalif Raymond saw his offensive snaps drop from 42 in Week 1 to 32 versus the Bears, so TeSlaa may already be challenging for the No. 3 role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams.

Raymond caught his only target for 14 yards and turned one carry into nine yards in Sunday's 52-21 win over the Bears.

Raymond once again was quiet Week 2, playing just 32 offensive snaps in Detroit's dominant victory. The wide receiver snagged his only catch of the day on the team's third possession of the contest, but he did garner 15 more offensive snaps than rookie Isaac TeSlaa, so Raymond does still appear to be the No. 3 option at his position behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. With many mouths to feed on offense in Detroit, Raymond doesn't offer much weekly upside for fantasy managers, and his greatest impact for the team comes as a punt returner.

Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in an overtime loss to Dallas.

Hyatt was the only one of New York's active players who did not play at all in the defeat. It was the second straight week that Hyatt went unused, so it's clear early on that the Giants don't see him as a big part of their offense. Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers logged all but one of New York's offensive snaps in the loss, and Wan'Dale Robinson was on the field for 70 percent of the plays, while both Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski participated only on special teams. With that in mind, Hyatt hasn't necessarily slipped below fourth in the pecking order, but the team simply hasn't cared to extend its WR personnel beyond its top three options.

Slayton caught two of three targets for 61 yards in a Week 2 overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Slayton was shut out in the first half but salvaged a decent final line with 61 receiving yards after halftime. Most of that production came on a 52-yard connection with Russell Wilson midway through the third quarter. Despite that big play, it doesn't bode well for his place in New York's WR pecking order that Slayton saw just three targets despite playing all but one of the team's offensive snaps, especially since Russell Wilson aired it out 41 times and gained 450 yards on 30 completions. It was already a given that Malik Nabers would hog the wideout targets for the Giants this season, but it's telling that Wan'Dale Robinson garnered 10 looks of his own and nabbed eight receptions for a career-high 142 yards Sunday. With just five targets (and two catches) through two weeks, Slayton doesn't appear to have established much chemistry with Wilson thus far.

Valdes-Scantling failed to bring in his only target in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Saints.

Valdes-Scantling was a non-factor on offense for the second consecutive week. The veteran wideout saw his snap count drop to nine (13 percent) following the addition of WR Kendrick Bourne (49 percent). Valdes-Scantling carries no fantasy value heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Cardinals.

Watson (ACL) said Monday he expects to return to practice upon his window to do so opening after Week 4, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Watson is recovering from a right ACL tear and has opened the 2025 campaign on the reserve/PUP list, so the earliest time his 21-day practice window can open will be Week 5. The Packers are on bye that week, making Week 6 against the Bengals the earliest likely possibility for Watson's regular-season debut. Green Bay signed Watson to a one-year, $13.25 million contract extension less than one week ago, signaling confidence in the 2022 second-round pick's recovery and ability to contribute on offense. With Jayden Reed (collarbone) expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks, Watson could immediately step into a significant role once he's healthy.

Mitchell had two receptions for 20 yards on four targets in Sunday's win over the Broncos.

Mitchell played on just seven of the offense's 71 snaps as he has a limited role as the No. 4 receiver. He drew raves in training camp, so he could still shine if an injury in the receiving corps gives him more opportunity.

Pierce had four receptions for 68 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over Denver.

Pierce played on 64 of the offense's 71 snaps as he improved his usage from Week 1 (three targets). Pierce is the deep threat in Indy's offense and could have more fantasy value than anticipated with Daniel Jones and Indy's passing attack looking better than expected.

Jones didn't have a target or reception but played three snaps on on offense in Sunday's loss at Atlanta.

He went out on one route. Jones played 11 snaps on special teams. He's unlikely to have a larger role on offense as a depth receiver and special-teams player. He may return to the practice squad when Jordan Addison returns from suspension in two weeks.

Price averaged just 22.5 yards on six kick returns and averaged 2.0 yards on three punt returns in Monday's loss to Atlanta. He also lost a fumble on a punt return.

Price looked like a potential star returner in Week 1 as he averaged 17 yards per punt return, but he looked like a cut candidate in Week 2 with underwhelming returns and a lost fumble.
