WR

Bears – Alshon Jeffery combined for nine receptions on 13 targets for 201 yards through two games, but has yet to find the end zone

Eagles – Jordan Matthews has emerged as rookie quarterback Carson Wentz’s favorite receiver and could have even better numbers had he not dropped a long touchdown pass to end the second quarter Monday.

Redskins – Jamison Crowder has hauled in six receptions in both games this season, but got into the end zone for the first time this Sunday. He is currently tied for the team lead in receptions and appears to be emerging as one of Kirk Cousins go-to targets, as he was on the field 48 of the 67 offensive snaps on Sunday.

Bucs – Mike Evans secured only six of a whopping 17 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s 40-7 loss to the Cardinals.

Falcons – Julio Jones was “hobbled at the end” of Sunday’s ‘s win over the Raiders by an unspecified issue
