  • Keon Coleman WR | BUF

    Bills' Keon Coleman: Held in check by Jets

    Coleman caught all three of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

    Coleman came back down to earth after recording 112 receiving yards and a touchdown in the season opener, as all three of Buffalo's Week 2 touchdowns came on the ground. The Bills will likely continue to spread the ball around, but the 2024 second-round pick leads the team with 14 targets and 138 receiving yards heading into Thursday's home game against a Dolphins defense that has allowed 33 points to each of its first two opponents.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Crosses 100-yard mark in loss

    Hill brought in six of seven targets for 109 yards and returned one punt for 19 yards in the Dolphins' 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Hill set the pace for the Dolphins in receiving yards while checking in second in receptions and targets. Hill's day could have been even bigger had Tua Tagovailoa not missed him when he was wide open on a second-half pass, but the fact the talented wideout put together his first 100-yard effort of the campaign was certainly a bright spot during a loss that dropped the Dolphins to 0-2. With Miami desperate for a win, Hill figures to be prominently featured again in a Thursday night Week 3 road matchup against the Bills that is arguably already a critical game for the Dolphins.

  • Rome Odunze WR | CHI

    Bears' Rome Odunze: Two TDs in ugly loss

    Odunze brought in seven of 11 targets for 128 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

    Odunze, in conjunction with Caleb Williams, single-handedly kept the Bears competitive in the first quarter, recording 28- and six-yard touchdown grabs in the first and second quarter, respectively. Odunze easily led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, and although his career-best day was sullied by the sizable loss, it was certainly encouraging to see the emphasis on getting the second-year wideout involved in Ben Johnson's offense. Odunze next takes aim at a Cowboys secondary that allowed 450 passing yards and three touchdowns to the Giants' Russell Wilson, as Dallas comes into the Windy City for a Week 3 showdown next Sunday.

  • Patriots' Kayshon Boutte: Scores on lone Week 2 target

    Boutte caught his only target for a 16-yard touchdown in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Boutte unsurprisingly saw a significant reduction in volume after setting a new career high with eight targets Week 1, but he made the most of his only Week 2 look, pulling in his fourth touchdown in 22 NFL games. The 23-year-old wide receiver is hanging onto a starting role on the outside, but New England likes to spread the ball around, as Drake Maye's 19 completions were split between nine different pass catchers. Up next for Boutte is a Week 3 home game against the Steelers.

  • Isaiah Bond WR | CLE

    Browns' Isaiah Bond: Fill-in punt returner

    Bond caught one of three targets for six yards, had one carry for nine yards and filled in as a punt returner in Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Ravens in Week 2.

    Bond added punt-return duties to his responsibilities following an injury to DeAndre Carter (concussion) early in the first quarter. Bond didn't get much work on that front, signaling for a fair catch on the one punt he fielded. While mixing in behind Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman through the first two weeks of the season, Bond has caught two of four targets for 11 yards.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Five targets tie for team lead

    Diggs caught four of five targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 33-27 win over the Dolphins.

    Diggs tied Rhamondre Stevenson for the team lead in targets but finished third on the Patriots in receiving yards behind Stevenson (88) and Austin Hooper (38). Drake Maye spread the ball out to nine different receivers, and New England's pair of touchdowns through the air went to Mack Hollins and Kayshon Boutte. Diggs is the top option in New England's wide receiver room, but that role doesn't always command significant volume in a Patriots offense predicated on runs and quick passes. Diggs could see a lot of star cornerback Jalen Ramsey in Week 3 against the Steelers, which will make it difficult for the veteran wide receiver to pick up the pace.

  • Malik Nabers WR | NYG

    Giants' Malik Nabers: Massive numbers in OT loss

    Nabers caught nine of 13 targets for 167 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

    Russell Wilson turned back the clock with a performance reminiscent of his best days in Seattle, and Nabers was his main target, catching a 29-yard TD in the second quarter and a 48-yard score with just 25 seconds left in the fourth that appeared to have won the game for the Giants before Brandon Aubrey booted a ridiculous 64-yard field goal as time expired to send it to OT. Nabers has seen 25 targets through two games from Wilson, turning that volume into a 14-238-2 line, but he may not face a secondary as weak as Dallas' current unit for the rest of the season. The sixth overall pick in the 2024 Draft will look to prove he's matchup-proof in Week 3 against Kansas City.

  • Tee Higgins WR | CIN

    Bengals' Tee Higgins: Tallies 42-yard touchdown

    Higgins recorded three catches on eight targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

    Higgins bounced back from a poor Week 1 performance, thanks primarily to a long 42-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. That pass was delivered by Jake Browning after Joe Burrow departed with a toe injury, and it was Higgins' only catch on five targets that he was able to haul in from Browning. If Burrow is set to miss additional time, Higgins could become a boom or bust fantasy option with Ja'Marr Chase continuing to dominate targets in the Cincinnati offense.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Finds end zone against Niners

    Shaheed caught four of five targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    The fourth-year wideout was on the other end of Spencer Rattler's second of three TD passes on the day, a three-yard strike in the third quarter. Shaheed has had a respectable start to the season in new head coach Kellen Moore's scheme, posting a 10-85-1 line on 14 targets through two games as the WR2 behind Chris Olave. Shaheed will look to build on this performance in Week 3 against the Seahawks.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Hauls in six passes in Week 2

    Olave caught six of 10 targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the 49ers.

    The fourth-year wideout led the Saints in volume once again while seeing double-digit targets from Spencer Rattler for the second straight game. Olave is still looking for his first TD, and his first breakout performance, of 2025, but his usage in new head coach Kellen Moore's scheme suggests both will come in due time. Olave will take on a Seahawks secondary in Week 3 that has been stingy so far against WRs, but which did give up a TD to DK Metcalf in Week 2.
