Torrey Smith scores in loss to the Falcons.

Smith caught three passes for 33 yards, including a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. The veteran receiver will probably see a lot of William Jackson in next week’s matchup with the Bengals, so he isn’t a recommended fantasy option.

Michael Gallup catches one pass in Week 2.

Gallup’s lone reception went for five yards. He also was targeted on a deep ball down the right sideline but couldn’t come down with it. Gallup is more of a dynasty-league option for now.

Jarius Wright scores in Week 2 loss.

Wright caught five passes for 62 yards and a touchdown, which came from five yards out in the second quarter. The veteran is operating as a clear top-three receiver to start the season, and it looks like he will have a significant role for the foreseeable future despite first-round pick D.J. Moore (who had a 51-yard touchdown on Sunday) waiting in the wings. Still, Wright is just an option in deeper PPR leagues.

Deonte Thompson caught four passes for 33 yards in Sunday’s win over the Giants.

Thompson looks like he might be the leader of Dallas’ wide-receiver-by-committee to start the year, but the journeyman wideout isn’t a recommended pickup for a run-first, defensive football team.

Kenyan Drake scores against the Jets.

This makes it two straight weeks with a touchdown to open the year for Drake, who had 11 carries for 53 yards and a touchdown along with four receptions for 17 yards in the Week 2 victory. The touchdown was a six-yard score, which was good to see for Drake owners worried about Frank Gore potentially taking all the carries by the goal line. While Drake couldn’t get a lot going as a receiver, the Dolphins are going to continue utilizing him there. Drake is a strong fantasy option for Week 3 against the Raiders.

Allen Hurns catches one pass in Cowboys’ win.

Hurns caught a nine-yard slant to start the game, but that was it. At the moment, he’s difficult to trust in a low-volume spread-the-wealth passing attack.

Devin Funchess caught seven passes for 77 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Falcons.

Funchess had a solid game as an intermediate target for Cam Newton, but it wasn’t enough to get a big win over their division rival. The No. 1 receiver in Norv Turner’s offense has yet to find the end zone through two weeks, but he is at least an every-week WR2/FLEX option with Greg Olsen (foot) out of the lineup. Funchess will look to hit pay dirt against William Jackson and Dre Kirkpatrick when the Bengals come to town in Week 3.
