Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 271 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while adding two rushes for four yards in the Jaguars' 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Lawrence had the Jaguars in position for a win until the Bengals managed to rally behind Jake Browning on a 15-play, 92-yard touchdown drive. Lawrence put together an impressive performance overall that included touchdown passes to Dyami Brown (nine yards), Bhayshul Tuten (eight yards) and Travis Etienne (11 yards), but he also short-circuited two Jacksonville drives in the first half with interceptions at the Bengals' three-yard line and his own 34-yard line. The two plays would help lead to a combined 10 points for Cincinnati, certainly key developments in such a close game. Lawrence also continued to struggle in his connection with No. 1 receiver Brian Thomas (four catches on 12 targets), and the duo will encounter a tough defensive matchup in a Week 3 home date against the Texans next Sunday.

Cooks hauled in two targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-21 loss to San Francisco.

Cooks recorded 26 yards for the second game in a row, but he registered one fewer catch and two fewer targets than in Week 1. The veteran made an impressive grab when he jumped in stride to catch a 20-yard strike from quarterback Spencer Rattler. The second-year signal-caller threw 34 passes after attempting a career-high 46 in the season opener. The vast majority of targets still went to the Saints' top-three pass-catchers -- Chris Olave (10), Juwan Johnson (nine) and Rashid Shaheed (five) -- while running back Alvin Kamara also logged six targets out of the backfield. Cooks will likely need to capitalize on the limited opportunities that he splits with second-year wideout Devaughn Vele, who caught a three-yard touchdown on his lone target Sunday. The Saints' next game will come at Seattle on Sunday, Sept. 21.

Bowman (shoulder) is active for Sunday night's matchup with the Vikings, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

Bowman suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 against the Buccaneers, but he'll ultimately be able to give it a go for Sunday Night Football. The 22-year-old is set to operate as Atlanta's top option at slot cornerback against Minnesota.

Lamb caught nine of 11 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime win over the Giants.

While his final numbers were overshadowed by Malik Nabers' 9-167-2 line, Lamb came up big for the Cowboys when he needed to and led his team in receiving yards while tying Jake Ferguson for the team lead in catches. Lamb has begun the season with back-to-back 100-yard performances, but he's still looking for his first TD heading into a Week 3 clash with a Bears defense that just got torched by Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Lions.

Pollard rushed the ball 20 times for 92 yards in Sunday's 33-19 loss to the Rams. He was targeted once but did not record a reception.

Pollard was the only Titans running back to record a touch in Sunday's game and was fairly efficient given the team's poor offensive showing. His biggest gains came on a pair of 10-yard runs on back-to-back possessions just before halftime. Pollard should continue to see a very high workload so long as Tyjae Spears (ankle) remains sidelined, though his touchdown upside is limited until Cam Ward can get the offense moving more consistently.

Horton caught two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Steelers. He also had two punt returns for 30 yards.

Horton scored a 21-yard touchdown on his first NFL catch to open the scoring. The rookie fifth-round pick won the third spot on Seattle's wide receiver depth chart with a strong training camp, and he put his skills on display in Week 2 after a goose egg in his NFL debut. Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp will likely continue to get most of Sam Darnold's attention in Week 3 against the Saints.

Robinson caught eight of 10 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.

During a wild seesaw affair in which Russell Wilson threw for 450 yards, Robinson set a new career high that shattered his previous best of 100 yards, which he recorded in Week 11 of his rookie season in 2022. The possession receiver has had a strong start to the current campaign, posting a 14-197-1 line on 18 targets, and if the Giants fall behind early he could be busy again in Week 3 against Kansas City.

Palmer caught two of three targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Most of Palmer's production came on a 32-yard reception from Mitchell Trubisky, who came in for a pair of plays in the first quarter as Josh Allen tended to a nosebleed and again for mop-up duty down the stretch. Despite taking a step back from his five-catch, 61-yard Bills debut, Palmer led the team in receiving yards in Week 2, as Buffalo went with a much more run-heavy approach. Palmer has established himself as a top-three wide receiver on the team alongside Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir heading into Thursday's home game against the Dolphins.

Kincaid caught four of six targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Kincaid led the Bills in targets and receiving yards as the passing attack took a back seat to the running game, which produced 224 yards and three touchdowns. The 2023 first-round pick has opened his third NFL campaign with a pair of four-catch performances and should remain involved in Thursday's Week 3 home game against the Dolphins.

Shakir caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 30-10 win over the Jets.

Shakir has struggled against a Jets defense with a strong secondary and plenty of weaknesses elsewhere, exceeding 25 receiving yards only once in seven career matchups in the AFC East rivalry. Buffalo's 2024 leader in receiving yards has a nice opportunity to bounce back Thursday against a Dolphins defense that is allowing 33 points per game.
