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.

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.

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.

Johnson rushed once for one yard during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Seahawks.

Johnson was on the field for just two offensive snaps for a second consecutive week. He played four snaps on special teams, but he didn't pursue a ball that bounced past him on a kickoff in the fourth quarter, which allowed Seattle to recover in the end zone for a touchdown. The 22-year-old showcased some promise during the preseason after being selected in the third round of this year's draft, but he hasn't had a role in Pittsburgh's offense behind Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell, and Johnson did little to instill confidence in Week 2.

Dowdle rushed six times for nine yards and caught his only target for 10 yards during Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Despite Dowdle seeing a larger role than he did in Carolina's opener, he played just 29 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 2. The 27-year-old has struggled with efficiency through his first two games with the team, averaging only 2.3 yards on his nine carries. Starter Chuba Hubbard recorded 77 total yards and a touchdown on 15 touches in Sunday's loss, and Dowdle doesn't have a clear path to more volume heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Falcons.

Burrow will reportedly need toe surgery, which would sideline him for a minimum of three months, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Confirmation is still pending from the Bengals, but it looks like Burrow will miss extended time, which sets the stage for Jake Browning to handle the team's QB duties into December. Brett Rypien is currently on Cincinnati's practice squad, but the team could look elsewhere for signal-caller depth to back up Browning, per Schefter.

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.

Myers connected on one of two field-goal attempts and made all four extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

Myers hit the left upright on a 36-yard field-goal try in the second quarter, but he bounced back in the fourth quarter by drilling a 54-yarder. The veteran kicker was perfect from within 40 yards last season, and he should remain a stable kicking option moving forward.

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

Saubert barely played in the season opener. However, he handled a 38 percent snap share in Week 2, essentially splitting the No. 2 duties with tookie Elijah Arroyo. Saubert should continue to add depth and run-blocking stability to the Seahawks' offense.

Holani returned five kickoffs for 133 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers.

Holani hasn't played an offensive snap through two weeks, but he continues to make an impact on special teams. As long as Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet are healthy, Holani's role should remain the same.
