Stevens made two of his three field-goal attempts while converting both PATs in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Stevens missed a 51-yard field-goal try late in the third quarter of Sunday's contest. The kicker has now missed in consecutive games, moving to 3-for-5 on field-goal attempts over the first two games of the season. Both misses for the 22-year-old are from farther than 50 yards, raising questions about the second-year player's leg strength.

Lemon caught his lone target for 14 yards while turning one carry into minus-5 yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Lemon recorded minus-5 receiving yards on three catches during his NFL debut against the Commanders in Week 1. He was at least able to stay in the positive against Tennessee with a 14-yard catch on the last play of the third quarter, which moved the chains on third-and-8 and led to a two-yard touchdown run by Tank Bigsby four plays later. Lemon saw his workload in training camp severely limited due to a hamstring injury, so it may take a few weeks for the rookie first-rounder to ramp up his production. That said, with Dallas Goedert set to miss multiple weeks due to a sprained MCL, Lemon could operate in an elevated role in the passing game, starting with the Eagles' Week 3 road tilt against the Bears on Monday, Sept. 28.

McMillan didn't record any targets and played just seven of Tampa Bay's 65 offensive snaps in Sunday's Week 2 loss to Cleveland.

The good news is that McMillan was able to suit up after dealing with a knee injury that caused him to be inactive Week 1 against Cincinnati. It was anticipated that the 24-year-old would be on a snap count upon his return, and that's exactly how things played out, with McMillan's meager seven offensive snaps trailing all of fellow wideouts Emeka Egbuka (56), Chris Godwin (56), Ted Hurst (48) and Tez Johnson (19). McMillan figures to gradually ramp up his playing time in the weeks to come, though he could again be held back enough Week 3 versus Minnesota to make him a poor option in fantasy.

Lutz made both of his field-goal attempts and both PATs in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Jaguars.

Lutz made kicks from 20 yards and 45 yards out as the Broncos won a defensive battle. The kicker's consistency put eight points on the board, securing the win over a Jaguars team that missed a 54-yard field goal in the fourth quarter.

Carlson went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 24-17 win over Baltimore.

Carlson rebounded well after missing a potential game-winning 62-yard kick wide right to end regulation in the team's 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions in Week 1. The kicker nailed a chip-shot 23-yard field goal in the second quarter before converting a 47-yard try as time expired in the first half. He later added a season-long 51-yard field goal make to cap off the team's first possession of the third quarter. Carlson beat out Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth for the Saints' starting kicker job last month, and he now has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries over two contests to open the 2026 campaign.

Hurst caught two passes (on seven targets) for 27 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Hurst was listed as a starter alongside Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka for Sunday's game, with Hurst playing 48 of 65 offensive snaps (73.8 percent). The rookie third-rounder caught passes of 21 and six yards from Baker Mayfield, though Hurst also was targeted on a ball that was intercepted by Myles Harden late in the first quarter. Hurst will take a 5-63-0 line (on 10 targets) into a Week 3 home tilt against the Vikings on Sept. 27.

Shrader made all three of his field-goal attempts and PATs in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.

All three of Shrader's field goals were under 50 yards, including his game-tying make in overtime from 38 yards. The kicker has made all four of his field goals this season and five of six PATs through two contests.

Douglas caught one of two targets for nine yards Sunday in a 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Douglas not only posted an unimpactful stat line, he also was on the field for only 47 percent of New England's offensive snaps after logging a a 62 percent snap share Week 1. Both Mack Hollins (71 percent) and Romeo Doubs (67 percent) recorded a significantly higher offensive snap share Week 2, though Douglas remained ahead of Kyle Williams (20 percent) and Efton Chism (18 percent). With only six catches (on nine targets) for 29 yards through two contests, Douglas has yet to give fantasy managers any confidence in deploying him in lineups.

Butker went 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday night's 33-30 overtime win against the Colts.

Butker was a busy man versus Indianapolis, making field-goal tries from 46, 28, 31 and 40 yards in the victory, the last of which was a game-winner in overtime. The kicker's lone miss of the day came in the second quarter when he pushed a 51-yard attempt wide left. Through two contests, Butker has looked as good as always, converting five of six field-goal attempts, and he'll look to add his first make from 50-plus yards in Week 3 versus Miami.

Otton caught five of six targets for 38 yards during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Four of the five passes Otton caught went for 10 yards or less, but he still led all Bucs pass catchers with five receptions while finishing third in receiving yards to Tez Johnson (49) and Chris Godwin (46). Otton played 58 of 65 offensive snaps (89.2 percent) and has served as a security blanket in the passing game for Baker Mayfield. That said, Otton may be used more as a pass blocker Week 3 against the Vikings and their blitz-happy defense under defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
