Hopkins brought in both targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Hopkins has been much more of a short-area target over the last few seasons, but the veteran flashed his downfield chops on both his catches Sunday. Hopkins nearly had a touchdown on his first grab, which covered 41 yards early in the third quarter and was originally ruled a score before replay review revealed Hopkins hadn't broken the plane of the goal line. There was no ambiguity on his second and final reception of the night, a 23-yard scoring grab with just under five minutes remaining that closed out Baltimore's scoring on the day. Hopkins has taken half of his first four catches in a Ravens uniform for touchdowns, affording him some momentum heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.

Terrell (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Terrell pulled up lame with an apparent hamstring injury in the second quarter, and it's now unclear if he'll be able to return to action in Week 2. In his absence, Natrone Brooks and Dee Alford stand to see an increase in workload at cornerback.

Hendrickson had a sack on the penultimate play of the game in Sunday's win over the Jaguars. He also had a big pressure on Jaguars' quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the first half that led to Lawrence's first interception in the Bengals' end zone.

Hendrickson doesn't have gaudy tackle or sack numbers, yet, but he's come up big in the second half in both of the Bengals' wins so far this season. The Bengals draw the Vikings on the road next week, which could be a big ask for the Bengals' defense and Hendrickson. That defense might be asked to do a lot in the ensuing weeks, given Joe Burrow's toe injury.

Ruckert caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Ruckert caught his first NFL touchdown in his 43rd game. It came on a pass from Tyrod Taylor to cap the scoring with 3:28 remaining in the fourth quarter. Taylor could start in Week 3 against the Buccaneers if Justin Fields (concussion) isn't ready to return, so perhaps Ruckert will have a chance to build on their connection in this game.

Ridley recorded three receptions on six targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.

Ridley tied for the team lead in targets with both Elic Ayomanor and Chig Okonkwo, though he beat out Ayomanor by one yard to lead Tennessee pass catchers. Ridley's longest catch of the day went for 26 yards, when Cam Ward rolled out to his right and hit him along the sideline. It was an improved performance for Ridley, though Ayomanor is emerging as a key part of the offense and looks likely to continue to cut into Ridley's opportunities.

Slye went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and also made an extra-point try in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams.

Slye was once again rather busy in Week 2, connecting on a 55-yard field goal and 37-yarder in the second quarter. He later added makes from 57 yards and 35 yards in the second half. Through two games in 2025, Slye has made all eight of his field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards.

Taylor (ankle) caught one of two targets for five yards in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Taylor suited up after being listed as questionable due to an ankle injury and was one of six Jets to record at least one catch, as Justin Fields (concussion) and Tyrod Taylor combined for only 10 completions. One of Tyrod Taylor's seven connections was a five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jeremy Ruckert. Mason Taylor has made just one catch in each of his first two games, but the Jets could lean on him and other pass catchers more if the run-reliant Fields misses time due to his concussion.

Kelce had four receptions on six targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Kelce led all Kansas City receivers in targets (six) and receiving yards (61), but he was unable to replicate the trip to the end zone that he secured for fantasy managers last week. The 35-year-old did fare better against the Eagles this time around after being held to 39 yards with no touchdowns when these two teams met in Super Bowl LIX this past February. With a thin receiver room due to absences from Rashee Rice (suspension) and Xavier Worthy (shoulder), Kelce remains a focal point on offense for a team struggling out of the gates. The Chiefs will attempt to secure their first win of the season in a road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.

Kelly (head) is being evaluated for a concussion during Sunday night's contest against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Kelly suffered a blow to the head in the first half against Atlanta, and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the contest. Michael Jurgens has taken over at center in Kelly's absence.

Metcalf recorded three receptions on six targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Seahawks.

The Steelers' passing attack took a significant step backward relative to Week 1, and Metcalf's output fell accordingly. He still led the team with six targets, though his longest gain went for only nine yards. Metcalf managed to salvage his day with a leaping two-yard touchdown shortly before halftime for his first score as a Steeler, though it was otherwise a forgettable performance.
