Andrews caught six of seven targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Saints.

With Zay Flowers (hamstring) and Ja'Kobi Lane (wrist) out for this one, Andrews finished second on the team in targets, two behind Rashod Bateman, who posted 7-88-1 receiving on his nine looks. Andrews ran 28 routes on Lamar Jackson's 38 dropbacks and is seeing a bigger piece of the pie at tight end this season with Isaiah Likely and Charlie Kolar now off the team. Through two games, Andrews has 10 catches for 98 yards on 13 targets. He'll be a TE1 next Sunday against the Cowboys in Brazil.

Kamara rushed nine times for 15 yards and caught five of six targets for seven yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

It's difficult to be less efficient than this, as Kamara's 14 opportunities produced a total of 22 yards. It was the veteran running back's season debut after he missed the entire preseason and Week 1 recovering from a sprained MCL. Kamara made the start alongside Travis Etienne, who turned his eight carries into 25 yards while securing both of his targets for six yards. The Saints continue to use a full-blown three-man committee out of the backfield, as Etienne led the trio with 37 snaps to Kamara's 20 and CJ Donaldson's 20. Now 31 years old and coming off a knee injury, Kamara may not have a whole lot left in the tank.

Johnson caught all four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Ravens.

Johnson dealt with an illness during the week but played 36 of 68 offensive snaps and ran 23 routes on Tyler Shough's 39 dropbacks. It was a dip in snap rate and route share compared to Week 1 for Johnson, but he still out-targeted Noah Fant four to zero against Baltimore. Through two games, Johnson has seven catches for 120 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. It will be interesting to see if his snaps and routes come back up to Week 1 levels next Sunday against the Raiders.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Flowers (hamstring) has a "good shot" to play Week 3 in Dallas, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.

Listed as doubtful heading into this past Sunday's game against the Saints, Flowers was ultimately inactive for the Ravens' 24-17 loss. The team remains hopeful that Flowers' absence will be contained to just one game, and the wideout supported that optimism by returning to practice this past Friday as a limited participant. Baltimore will kick off its Week 3 prep Wednesday, and if Flowers upgrades to full practice participation that day, it would clear up any concern about his status heading into the matchup with the Cowboys.

Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Pittman's foot injury is not related to the one he dealt with during training camp and the preseason, Nick Farabaugh of PennLive.com reports.

After sitting out Sunday's loss to New England, Pittman's status for Week 3 against the Bengals remains up in the air. While Pittman was out against the Patriots, Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard operated as the Steelers' Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind DK Metcalf. While Wilson ran 42 routes to Bernard's 39, Bernard out-targeted Wilson, nine to six. Neither was particularly effective in the box score on a day quarterback Aaron Rodgers averaged a pitiful 4.8 yards per attempt.

Reed sustained a back injury in Sunday's 20-17 overtime win over the Jets and will soon return to Green Bay while the Packers evaluate treatment options and establish a timeline for his recovery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Reed logged just two snaps before departing in the first quarter of Sunday's game after getting injured on a four-yard reception. The Packers quickly ruled him out for the rest of the contest with a neck injury after he was carted off the field on a backboard, but upon further evaluation, Reed has instead been diagnosed with a back injury. While the team should have a better idea regarding the severity of the injury in the coming days, Reed appears unlikely to gain clearance for the Packers' Week 3 game Thursday versus the Falcons.

Daniels (elbow) underwent imaging Monday and will consult with multiple experts over the next few days, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Daniels undergoing further testing Monday was already a given, so there isn't much clarity coming out of Sunday's game in which Daniels suffered a dislocated left elbow. He remains without a timetable for return, and Marcus Mariota is fully expected to make the start Sunday against the Seahawks. Washington pass catchers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs both will take slight hits to their fantasy outlooks going from Daniels to Mariota.

Mariota is expected to start Sunday's game against Seattle while the Commanders continue to gather more information on the severity of Jayden Daniels' dislocated left elbow, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

After Daniels injured his elbow on the Commanders' final snap of the second quarter of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys, Mariota directed the offense for the second half and finished with 11 completions on 16 attempts for 111 yards and a touchdown to go with three yards on his lone carry. Though a recovery timeline for Daniels has yet to be established while he plans to consult with a number of experts over the next few days before deciding on a treatment plan, the same injury kept him out for seven of the Commanders' final eight games of the 2025 campaign. With that in mind, Mariota could very well be headed for a multi-game run as Washington's starter.

Wentz will serve as the Vikings' backup quarterback Sunday against the Buccaneers after head coach Kevin O'Connell announced Monday that Kyler Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will start Week 3.

Wentz performed admirably across nearly two full games in relief of Murray, who sustained the concussion midway through the first quarter of the season opener against the Packers. After completing 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns in the Vikings' come-from-behind 39-22 win over Green Bay, Wentz started Week 2 against the Bears and played turnover-free football in rainy and windy conditions en route to leading Minnesota to a 9-3 win. While Murray will reclaim the starting job now that he's out of the protocol, Wentz's performance over the past two weeks firmly solidifies him ahead of 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy on the depth chart.

Murray has cleared concussion protocol and will return to the starting lineup Sunday against the Buccaneers, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.

Murray was concussed 11 snaps into his regular-season Vikings debut in Week 1 against the Packers and missed this past Sunday's win over the Bears. His return to the lineup will send Carson Wentz back to the bench as the QB2 after he completed 23 of 39 passes (59 percent) for 276 yards (7.1 YPA) and three touchdowns with no interceptions across the last two weeks against Green Bay and Chicago. Murray's return and Wentz's retreat to backup duties doesn't change much for the Minnesota pass catchers from a fantasy perspective.
