Will Anderson Jr. DE | HOU
Texans' Will Anderson: Notches sack in loss
Anderson compiled eight total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in Sunday's 20-6 loss to Cincinnati.
Anderson was able to get to the quarterback again during Week 2, bringing down Joe Burrow for a five-yard loss in the second quarter. The 25-year-old finished second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (12), and Anderson has now registered 11 total tackles (five solo), including 1.5 sacks, while also notching a pass defensed over two games this season.

Jaylin Noel WR | HOU
Texans' Jaylin Noel: Records 107 all-purpose yards vs. Cincinnati
Noel caught one pass on five targets for 31 yards and added a 13-yard carry during the Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. He also returned three punts for 32 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards.
The second-year wideout saw a bump in offensive snaps due to the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), with Noel's 48 snaps ranking third-most among Houston WRs behind Xavier Hutchinson (65) and Kayshon Boutte (58). Noel's offensive production didn't match his increased playing time, but he should continue to operate in an elevated role on offense while still handling primary return duties if Collins is ruled out for Week 3 against the Colts.

Azeez Al-Shaair LB | HOU
Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Secures 12 tackles in loss
Al-Shaair recorded 12 total tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 20-6 loss to the Bengals.

Bryce Lance WR | NO
Saints' Bryce Lance: Logs just one catch in Week 2 win
Lance caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 victory against Baltimore.
Lance was on the field for 54 of New Orleans' 68 offensive snaps, but he had only one pass thrown his way by Tyler Shough. Chris Olave (10 targets) and Devaughn Vele (seven) got 17 of the Saints' 19 total wideout targets, so Lance wasn't alone in having a quiet day among the team's complementary options. Barion Brown logged just two offensive snaps Sunday and Kevin Austin notched five, so Lance seems to be clearly ahead of both in the pecking order.

Xavier Legette WR | CAR
Panthers' Xavier Legette: Hauls in 55-yard pass in Week 2 win
Legette caught two passes on four targets for 64 yards during the Panthers' 34-3 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Legette was held without a catch in a Week 1 loss to the Bears, when he saw only two targets. His targets in Week 2 doubled, and he split the Falcons' secondary to connect on a deep ball from Bryce Young for a 55-yard gain late in the second quarter, which set up a Darren Waller touchdown three plays later. That 55-yard catch was the longest of Legette's three-year NFL career and his first reception of 40-plus yards. He'll operate as the Panthers' WR3 behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker heading into a Week 3 road tilt against the Browns.

Budda Baker S | ARI
Cardinals' Budda Baker: Piles up 11 tackles in defeat
Baker recorded 11 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass breakup in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.
While Baker racked up a load of tackles, he was burned in coverage on Jaxon Smith-Njigba's 82-yard touchdown on a double-move in the first quarter. JSN made the entire Arizona secondary look foolish en route to 9-155-3 receiving line across 11 targets. Through two games this season, Baker has 16 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, on 100 percent of the defensive snaps.
