  • Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Impresses in Week 2

    Tremayne caught three of five targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

    With Jalen Coker (quadriceps) beginning the season on injured reserve, Tremayne has received more offensive snaps and played as the Panthers' No. 4 wideout through two games. He had the best performance of his NFL career in Week 2, catching three of his five targets for 48 yards despite playing just 15 offensive snaps. Tremayne is expected to remain one of the top depth options in Carolina's wide receiver corps until Coker returns to the field.

  • Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA

    Cowboys' Jalen Tolbert: Two grabs against Giants

    Tolbert caught two of four targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants. He added 85 yards on four kickoff returns.

    KaVontae Turpin (neck) left midway through the game, pushing Tolbert into the primary kick returner role, and he was also back on a New York punt in OT but settled for a fair catch. The Cowboys' passing game has had a fairly narrow target tree so far -- one of CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens or Jake Ferguson were on the other end of 32 of Dak Prescott's 52 pass attempts during the contest -- but Tolbert hasn't done much with his rare receiving chances to earn a bigger share, posting a 3-16-0 line on six targets to begin 2025.

  • Ben Skowronek WR | PIT

    Steelers' Ben Skowronek: Not targeted against Seattle

    Skowronek wasn't targeted during Sunday's 31-17 loss to Seattle.

    Skowronek reached the end zone during last week's regular-season opener, but he was unable to replicate his success in Week 2 as his snap count remained low. The 2021 seventh-rounder has played mainly on special teams early in the season, and he was on the field for just three offensive snaps Sunday. Although he made the most of his Week 1 target, it seems unlikely that he'll be a reliable fantasy option in 2025 as long as the rest of Pittsburgh's receivers stay healthy.

  • Patriots' DeMario Douglas: One catch Sunday

    Douglas, who was on the field for 15 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the contest for eight yards.

    With the Patriots rolling with their share of multi-TE groupings in Week 2, in addition to the team mixing which WRs were on the field in three-WR alignments, Douglas saw a dip in playing time Sunday. Looking ahead, game plans and game flows in the coming weeks could lead to added opportunities for Douglas, but with a 3-6-1 receiving line (on eight targets) through two games, the Patriots' slot man profiles as a hit-or-miss option in PPR formats.

  • Roman Wilson WR | PIT

    Steelers' Roman Wilson: One reception in Week 2

    Wilson secured one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to Seattle.

    Although Wilson's workload remained low in Sunday's Week 2 loss, he recorded his first catch of the regular season and also saw a slight uptick in playing time, as he was on the field for 21 offensive snaps compared to 10 during last week's regular-season opener. He saw the third-highest snap count of any Steelers wide receiver, but he's unlikely to have a fantasy-relevant role as long as DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin stay healthy.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Disappoints in Week 2

    Legette caught one of eight targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

    The second-year wideout has managed just four receptions for eight yards through two games this season, a concerning start considering the Panthers attempted 90 passes over that span. However, there's still reason for optimism regarding Legette's season-long fantasy output, as his 15 targets tie Hunter Renfrow for the second-most on the team. Legette will look to turn that volume into production in a divisional matchup against the Falcons in Week 3.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Minor role in win

    Young didn't receive a target over eight offensive snaps in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

    Young's an extremely athletic receiver who hasn't quite put things together offensively since entering the league as a seventh-round pick in 2022. However, he continues to be a strong special-teams player, as he notched a tackle in that capacity in Sunday's game.

  • Jake Bobo WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Jake Bobo: No targets in 2025 debut

    Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

    Bobo played 10 offensive snaps but couldn't get Sam Darnold's attention, as Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp combined for a 63 percent target share. Still, Bobo is a valued run blocker for the Seahawks, and he'll continue to play a role on special teams, too.

  • Steelers' Calvin Austin: Struggles against Seattle

    Austin recorded one reception on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-17 loss to Seattle.

    Austin looked like he was starting a breakout season after a strong Week 1 showing, but his performance took a significant dip in Week 2. Beyond the lackluster stat line, he ran the wrong route in the end zone late in the third quarter, with the ball ultimately being picked by Seattle. Austin is likely to continue to earn snaps, but his production will also remain inconsistent.

  • Josh Downs WR | IND

    Colts' Josh Downs: Gets more involved in Week 2

    Downs recorded six receptions on eight targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 29-28 win over the Broncos.

    Downs wasn't prioritized in the Colts' Week 1 offense, though he led the team in both targets and receptions in Week 2. He was busy early in the game, as he recorded two receptions for 29 yards on the team's first four offensive plays. Tyler Warren has quickly emerged as Daniel Jones' favorite target, leaving Downs as likely to rotate productive games with the likes of Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.
