Antonio Brown gets team-high 11 targets in Week 2.

AB had a difficult matchup against Minnesota and shutdown corner Xavier Rhodes, but he still had an OK day, catching five passes for 62 yards. Brown should have an easier time next week against the Bears.

Paul Richardson catches clutch touchdown in Week 2 win.

Richardson had only two receptions (on five targets) for 19 yards in the game, but he had a clutch touchdown in the fourth quarter for the only touchdown of the game. The score was on a route in the end zone while Russell Wilson was rolling left and trusted Richardson to come back and make the play. It’s good to see Richardson healthy and making plays for his team as he builds off the end of last year.

Matt Forte leads the Jets in Week-2 rushing.

Forte carries a team-high nine times for 53 yards while adding four receptions for 38 yards. He’s in a time share with Bilal Powell and apparently rookie Elijah McGuire, but Forte played the best overall of them against the Raiders. He’s a FLEX option in Week 3 against the Dolphins, but the upside is limited in a split backfield.

Ryan Grant catches game-winning touchdown in Week 2 win over the Rams.

It went for 11 yards, and it was his only catch of the day. Grant is a favorite of Jay Gruden and the coaching staff, so he will continue to get chances to make plays for them. If Terrelle Pryor continues to struggle and Josh Doctson can’t get fully healthy, Grant might find his way into two-WR sets. That said, he won’t be a fantasy option in Week 3.

Martavis Bryant scores against the Vikings in Week 2.

Bryant flashed his big-time ability in this one, leading the Steelers with 91 yards on three receptions, including a long of 51 yards. The TD came on a skinny post the Bryant caught and out ran the corner and the safety for a 27-yarder. Bryant should be in lineups Week 3 against Chicago.

C.J. Prosise gets six targets in Week 2.

Prosise grabbed three passes for 22 yards in the win against the Niners, but he had no attempts on the ground. Prosise is just a PPR option right now, but he’s even risky as a FLEX there until he starts putting up better numbers.

Michael Thomas caught five passes for 89 yards in Sunday’s 36-20 loss to New England.

Thomas was given a lot of attention by Bill Belichick, so this was a fine performance for him. The second-year receiver should find the end zone soon after being held without a touchdown in the first two games of the season. He could be in for a big day next Sunday against Carolina, and is back on the WR1 radar after being a low-end WR2 option against the Vikings and Patriots.
