Sample notched zero targets during Sunday's 20-6 victory over the Texans.

Sample logged 36 snaps on offense in the win over Houston, finishing ahead of Erick All (25) and Mike Gesicki (21). However, after catching three passes in the 33-27 victory over the Buccaneers in Week 1, he wasn't targeted in Week 2. The 30-year-old veteran has spent his entire career with the Bengals since entering the NFL in 2019, most recently finishing the 2025 campaign with 15 catches (20 targets) for 106 yards and one touchdown. While Sample could find the end zone at some point this season, he's not expected to play a pivotal role on the receiving end. That likely won't change even if Gesicki or All aren't available, considering Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Chase Brown should continue doing most of the heavy lifting on offense.

Johnson caught one of his four targets for 49 yards and returned two punts for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-19 loss to the Browns.

Johnson played 19 offensive snaps compared to Emeka Egbuka's 56 snaps, Chris Godwin's 56 snaps and Ted Hurst's 48 snaps. The No. 5 wide receiver generated one explosive play for the Buccaneers' offense but could not provide much more to the cause in the losing effort.

Cooper caught two of three targets for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.

With Dallas Goedert (knee) going down early in the game, Cooper played 31 offensive snaps as the No. 4 receiver after logging just eight in Week 1 against the Commanders. Cooper responded to the increased playing time by breaking free in the back of the end zone with nine seconds left in the fourth quarter to catch the game-winning three-yard touchdown from Jalen Hurts. Cooper doesn't carry much value in redraft fantasy leagues and would need an injury or two ahead of him at the position for that to change.

Delp gathered in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 24-17 victory over the Ravens.

Delp didn't suit up for the 31-30 overtime loss to Detroit in Week 1 due to a hamstring issue, though he was on the field for Sunday's 24-17 upset win over Baltimore. However, despite the rookie's availability in Week 2, he appeared in just nine of the Saints' 68 offensive snaps, catching his only target for eight yards, while logging six snaps on special teams. Although Delp could see more action moving ahead, it doesn't appear as if he will be more involved than Noah Fant and Juwan Johnson anytime soon.

Whiteheart caught one of his two targets for a 17-yard touchdown in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Whiteheart played 27 of the Browns' 58 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, and his one catch, which came with 3:51 remaining, erased a 19-16 deficit and proved to be the difference in the game. The tight end also contributed on 15 special-teams snaps. Whiteheart is the second option at tight end behind Harold Fannin but plays a significant run-blocking role.

McLaughlin logged one carry for three yards and could not catch his sole target in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

McLaughlin saw just eight offensive snaps in Sunday's win. The running back was signed to the active roster from the practice squad last Tuesday after Dylan Sampson (knee) was placed on injured reserve. McLaughlin appears set to fill a depth role behind Quinshon Judkins and Raheim Sanders until Sampson is able to return.

Sanders caught his sole target for seven yards, had two rushes for four yards and returned two kickoffs for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-19 win over the Buccaneers.

Sanders played 11 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. Despite the small snap share, Sanders found plenty to do in Cleveland's first win of the season, making key plays for both the offensive and special-teams units.

Williams caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Steelers.

Despite A.J. Brown (ankle) missing his first game after going down in Week 1 against Seattle, Williams played just 20 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps against Pittsburgh. He operated as the fourth receiver, well behind Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs and slot man DeMario Douglas. Williams doesn't hold much fantasy value in redraft formats.

Shipley turned seven carries into 24 yards and caught both of his targets for five yards during the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Both Shipley and Tank Bigsby operated in larger roles in the Eagles' backfield after Saquon Barkley left in the first quarter due to a shoulder stinger. During that time that Barkley was off the field, Shipley operated as the clear RB2 behind Bigsby, with his seven carries being his most in a game since 2024. If Barkley is not cleared to play in Week 3, Shipley would split the backfield workload with Bigsby.

Harris logged six tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed for an interception in Sunday's 24-20 loss to the Eagles.

Harris intercepted Jalen Hurts late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's contest. The turnover helped the Titans take a 20-17 lead they'd ultimately fail to maintain. Harris played 48 defensive snaps in the effort, logging 63 percent of the team's defensive plays in the game.
