This was the most targets and catches for Moreau this season. He did catch a touchdown last week; however, it was just for six yards on his only target. Most of Moreau’s catches were on the final drive with the Saints driving to try and tie the game as he operated behind Taysom Hill most of the day. With Juwan Johnson possibly returning next week against the Jaguars, Moreau should not be on fantasy radars.

Conklin was listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week. His surgically repaired knee evidently needs more time though. Backup T James Hudson III will start in his stead. Wills Jr. (knee) and Njoku were ruled out earlier in the week. Thompson-Robinson serves as the emergency QB.

Love had almost no chance to suit up this week after sustaining a serious MCL injury in Week 1 against the Eagles. NFL Network reports Love is targeting a Week 5 return to action. That means Malik Willis will start at least the next three games for Green Bay. Look for the Packers to lean heavily on Josh Jacobs against a soft Colts front seven.

The big name is the one that isn’t listed here since Jamal Adams will be active and making his Titans debut. That’s good news against Aaron Rogers and Garrett Wilson.

Downs was considered 50-50 to suit up in Week 2, a month after sustaining a high ankle sprain in practice. Downs would seem likely to make his 2024 debut in Week 3. Adonai Mitchell and Alec Pierce will split WR2 duties behind Michael Pittman until then. Mitchell was close to two long gains in Week 1, which Pierce cashed in on his two downfield opportunities.

Reed was questionable with a knee injury and apparently was not healthy enough to give it a go. That’s a slight hit for the Jets secondary, but they’re still in good shape against Will Levis and the Titans passing attack.

Lattimore did not practice all week due to a hamstring injury and is now officially out against Dallas. Rookie Kool-Aid McKinstry may see a bigger role with the Saints being cautious with Lattimore. Also inactive for the Saints are WR A.T. Perry, QB Spencer Rattler, DT Khalen Saunders, LB D’Marco Jackson, LB Jaylan Ford, and TE Dallin Holker. Rattler will be the team’s emergency third quarterback.

It’s a quiet list for the league’s worst team.

Addison, who was injured on a hip drop tackle in Week 1, was declared out on Friday after missing practice all week. He could miss more time with the injury. For now, Jalen Nailor should run as the Vikings’ No. 2 wideout behind Justin Jefferson.

Crowder signed a one-year deal with Washington in the offseason but is currently buried on the depth chart. Luke McCaffrey will continue to get the bulk of the slot reps for Washington.

Jamo, OT Penei Sewell and S Kerby Joseph are all active for Detroit after being listed as questionable heading into Week 2. Williams had to have his ankle taped during Week 1’s game against the Rams and still finished with five receptions, 121 yards and a touchdown. Williams had two receptions, 53 yards and a touchdown against the Buccaneers during the 2023 regular season. He figures to be an upside WR2 in this matchup against Tampa Bay.
