Bates went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all seven of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 52-21 win over the Bears.

Bates was rather busy in Week 2 as the Lions dominated Chicago at home, but he wasn't perfect in the contest. The kicker missed a 55-yard field-goal wide left in the second quarter, marking his first miss of the year. Bates later connected on a chip-shot 34-yard attempt in third quarter. Through two games in 2025, the 26-year-old has gone 3-for-4 on field goals and a spotless 8-for-8 on PATs.

Boswell made all three of his field-goal attempts in the Steelers' loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Boswell made a pair of 48-yard field goals in the first half before converting a 45-yard attempt in the fourth quarter. The Steelers scored just one touchdown on the day and successfully went for the two afterward. On the season, Boswell has made all five of his field-goal tries and all four of his extra points.

McBride corralled six of seven targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.

McBride finished as the Cardinals' leading receiver after ceding that honor to WR Marvin Harrison in Week 1. The 25-year-old McBride has racked up six receptions in each of his two starts so far, putting him on pace for another 100-plus reception season following last year's breakout 111-catch campaign. McBride's allergy to the end zone (career high of three TDs in 2023) is what holds him back from breaking the fantasy stratosphere. The Colorado State product is still a PPR monster and a TE1 play against the 49ers next Sunday.

Aubrey went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and also made all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win against the Giants.

Aubrey made a 51-yard field goal in the second quarter before adding a 44-yard make to open the fourth quarter, a 64-yard game-tying kick at the end of regulation and a game-winning 46-yarder as time expired in overtime. The kicker has been historically good since joining the Cowboys ahead of the 2023 campaign, and he's now off to an impressive start to the 2025 season. Through two games, Aubrey has made all seven of his field-goal tries, including five makes from 50-plus yards.

Waddle secured five of six targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 33-27 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

Waddle navigated a shoulder issue throughout the practice week but entered Sunday without an injury designation, and he put up a solid performance overall that saw him finish third in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Dolphins on the afternoon. The 2021 first-round pick also recorded his first touchdown of the campaign on an 18-yard grab early in the second quarter, and he enjoyed an appreciable boost over his 30-yard effort in Week 1 against the Colts. Waddle and the increasingly desperate Dolphins will have to face the Bills on a short week when the two division rivals clash on Thursday night to kick off Week 3.

Loop converted both of his field-goal attempts and all five of his extra-point tries in the Ravens' win over the Browns on Sunday.

Loop got the scoring started in this one, drilling a 43-yard field goal in the first quarter. He later made a 32-yard kick in the third quarter. On the season, the rookie Loop has made all four of his field-goal attempts and nine of 10 extra points. He's a valuable fantasy kicker in this high-powered Baltimore offense.

Jeudy secured four of eight targets for 51 yards in the Browns' 41-17 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Jeudy's receiving yardage total led the Browns on a day when Joe Flacco threw for just 199 yards, and when he and Dillon Gabriel spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers. There was talk of a second consecutive breakout campaign for Jeudy heading into 2025, and through two games, he has a 9-117-0 line on 16 targets as a Week 3 home date with the Packers approaches next Sunday.

Moore secured five of six targets for 46 yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Moore was a distant second in receiving yards and targets to Rome Odunze while finishing as the runner-up in receptions as well. As such, Moore took a clear back seat to Odunze in the air attack for at least this week, but the pecking order Sunday could indeed be a harbinger of what's to come as the season unfolds. Moore does have an 8-114-0 receiving line on 11 targets through two games heading into a Week 3 home matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday afternoon.

Mahomes completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking seven carries for 66 yards and another score in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Eagles.

Mahomes and the Chiefs dropped to 0-2 on the year after suffering a loss at the hands of the team that embarrassed them in Super Bowl LIX last season. The final score was much closer this time around, but Philadelphia's defense held the superstar QB in check statistically. Mahomes continues to spread the ball around with top wideouts Rashee Rice (suspension) and Xavier Worthy (shoulder) out of action, dialing up nine different targets Sunday after completing passes to seven different receivers in last week's loss. Mahomes is going to continue to have to do the heavy lifting for Kansas City's offense ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football.

Flowers brought in seven of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Flowers once again filled the role of a true No. 1 receiver, leading the way in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Ravens. While he matched his Week 1 catch total, Flowers didn't come close to approximating his 143-yard tally and didn't get into the end zone. However, Baltimore naturally wasn't pressed to be anywhere near as aggressive through the air as in that season-opening game, and the Flowers-Lamar Jackson connection appears to be in prime form going into a Week 3 home showdown against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.
