2020 NFL ROOKIES

JALEN REAGOR
WR, PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

Jalen Reagor caught 4-of-4 targets for 41 yards in the Eagles' Week 2 loss to the Rams.

Reagor's snaps also kicked up to 61 after last week's 46. The Eagles' passing attack is all out of rhythm, but Reagor is on the right trajectory. Injuries are mounting and bye weeks will soon start creating roster crunches, but Reagor should be kept around as a "wait-and-see" WR5.

VAN JEFFERSON
WR, LOS ANGELES RAMS

Van Jefferson caught 4-of-5 targets for 45 yards in the Rams' Week 2 win over the Eagles.

Jefferson "added" a -1 yard rush. Jefferson once again out-targeted Josh Reynolds and appears to be settling in as the Rams' No. 3 receiver. With Jared Goff spreading the ball around more than ever, Jefferson will have trouble carving out WR4 value, but he is worth keeping an eye on in what is looking likely to be a wild injury following the truncated offseason. The Rams' coaching staff is clearly enamored with the No. 57 overall pick.

CHASE CLAYPOOL
WR, PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Chase Claypool caught 3-of-3 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' Week 2 win against the Broncos.

Claypool caught an 84-yard bomb from Ben Roethlisberger, balancing along the sideline and pulling away from defenders for the score. The rookie might have gotten away with offensive pass interference, but that's just the opinion of one game watcher. Claypool is a boom-bust option who won't be trustworthy in fantasy lineups next week against the Texans.

GABRIEL DAVIS
WR, BUFFALO BILLS

Gabriel Davis caught a six-yard touchdown in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

In what was Davis' only target on the afternoon, the 21-year-old rookie continued streaking along the back of the end zone to eventually corral his first career touchdown on a diving catch from Josh Allen. Davis has played at least 40% of Buffalo's snaps in both games for the Bills as OC Brian Daboll has continued leaning on a league-high rate of four-wide sets. The fourth-rounder is worth rostering in 14-team leagues given the Bills' soft schedule through Week 8.

MICHAEL PITTMAN
WR, INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

Michael Pittman caught 4-of-6 targets for 37 yards in the Colts' Week 2 win over the Vikings.

It was an improvement on Pittman's 2/10 Week 1 debut, and could be his floor moving forward with Parris Campbell suffering a potentially serious knee injury. Running backs will be the featured waiver wire play following this week's injury carnage, but Pittman should not get lost in the shuffle. He is well worth a flier.

ZACK MOSS
RB, BUFFALO BILLS

Zack Moss rushed eight times for 37 yards in Buffalo's Week 2 win over the Dolphins.

Teammate Devin Singletary again won the touch battle between the two, handling 12 touches to Moss' 8; Moss also failed to record a single target against Miami. The closest Moss came to scoring was when he was inserted inside of the 10-yard line only to act as a decoy on a fake goal line handoff, which allowed FB Reggie Gilliam to score. Singletary has out-touched Moss 26-20 on the year, but the latter will remain a touchdown-dependent RB3/4 in Week 3 given his fruitful red zone usage.

BRANDON AIYUK
WR, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

Brandon Aiyuk caught 2-of-3 targets for 21 yards in the 49ers' Week 2 win over the Jets.

Aiyuk played a limited role in his debut but that was to be expected. He suffered a hamstring injury in training camp that kept him on the sidelines in Week 1. Aiyuk should see more snaps in the coming weeks as his health improves and he gets more practice reps within the offense. However, the return of George Kittle (knee) and Deebo Samuel (foot) could limit his fantasy output. He's not worth starting in fantasy until his role expands.

LAVISKA SHENAULT
WR, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

Laviska Shenault caught 3-of-4 targets for 35 yards and had five carries for 37 yards in Week 2 against the Titans.

It's another high-volume game for Shenault, who had five touches and a score in his debut. Shenault was used as a change-up to workhorse James Robinson and rotated in three and four-wide sets. It's going to be hard for Shenault to maintain much of a role behind Robinson, but his usage is trending up.

CEEDEE LAMB
WR, DALLAS COWBOYS

CeeDee Lamb caught 6-of-9 targets for 106 yards in the Cowboys' Week 2 win over the Falcons.

Lamb led the Cowboys in receiving in this one on a day Dak Prescott threw for 450 yards. The rookie is essentially an every-down player as the third wideout and should be rostered in all formats. Lamb has 11-165-0 on 15 targets through two games and should see a bigger role along the way after Blake Jarwin's Week 1 torn ACL. Lamb will be a WR3/FLEX play for Week 3 against the Seahawks.

DARNELL MOONEY
WR, CHICAGO BEARS

Darnell Mooney caught all three of his targets for 36 yards and one touchdown in the Bears' Week 2 win over the Giants.

The rookie has played ahead of Anthony Miller as the No. 2 wideout behind Allen Robinson through two weeks. He has six catches for 74 yards and the one score against the Lions and Giants. Mooney is worth a speculative add in Dynasty formats but remains off the map in 10- and 12-team redraft leagues in such an anemic offense.

JERRY JEUDY
WR, DENVER BRONCOS

Jerry Jeudy caught 4-of-7 targets for 62 yards in the Broncos' Week 2 loss to the Steelers.

Jeudy missed some time in the first half after taking a mammoth hit on an over-the-middle catch. The rookie has drawn 15 targets over two games and should continue to be an every-week option in 12-team PPR leagues. Jeudy could benefit from negative game script next week when the Broncos play the Bucs.

AJ DILLON
RB, GREEN BAY PACKERS

AJ Dillon carried five times for 17 yards in the Packers' Week 2 win over the Lions.

Dillon is at least active for Sundays but is clearly operating as the No. 3 running back right now behind Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams. Hopefully Dillon earns more work later in the season. That just can't be counted on anytime soon. Dillon would need Jones to miss time to be on the redraft radar. He's purely a thicc insurance back.

D'ANDRE SWIFT
RB, DETROIT LIONS

D'Andre Swift rushed five times for 12 yards and caught 5-of-5 targets for 60 yards in the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Packers.

Kerryon Johnson started the game and split most ground work with Adrian Peterson, allowing Swift to handle most of the passing-down snaps. It's the most important role for fantasy purposes, but Swift has a ways to go before confidently starting. Peterson and Johnson would be goal-line vultures even if Swift's role grows in the next few weeks. It's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Swift until his snap counts climb. Hopefully that happens in a winnable matchup against the fast-paced Arizona Cardinals.

JAMES ROBINSON
RB, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

James Robinson had 16 carries for 102 yards and a touchdown and caught 3-of-4 targets for 18 yards in Week 2 against the Titans.

Robinson remained Jacksonville's workhorse, running for over 100 yards and leading the backfield in carries. He scored his first touchdown of the season on a highlight 17-yard run. Laviska Shenault had five carries in a change-up role and Chris Thompson got in the end-zone on four targets, but this was another splash game from the undrafted rookie. Robinson had gameflow working against him with Jacksonville playing from behind until he took over in the second half. The Jaguars have featured Robinson as their lead back with 35 touches through two weeks. Robinson could see his biggest workload of the season in a Week 3 matchup with Miami.

BRYAN EDWARDS
WR, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Bryan Edwards caught both of his targets for 42 yards in the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Saints.

Through two weeks, Edwards has seen three targets. He's well off the fantasy radar despite playing heavy snaps.

HENRY RUGGS
WR, LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

Henry Ruggs caught just 1-of-3 targets for four yards in the Raiders' Week 2 win over the Saints.

Ruggs entered the weekend questionable to play thanks to a knee injury, and he proved to be a small part of the game plan. His three targets were tied with two others as a distant second on the team to Darren Waller's 16 targets in this one. Ruggs hasn't been the same since injuring his knee in the first half of Week 1 against the Panthers. Ruggs should be treated as a low-floor WR4 for Week 3 at the Patriots.

TROY DYE
LB, MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Vikings placed LB Troy Dye on injured reserve with a foot injury.

The No. 132 overall pick of the draft, Dye picked up Anthony Barr's Week 2 slack but immediately suffered an injury of his own. He will be sidelined at least the next three weeks, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Dye will return when first eligible. The Vikings signed veteran Todd Davis Thursday.

MYLES GASKIN
RB, MIAMI DOLPHINS

Myles Gaskin played 75 percent of snaps in Week 3 against Jacksonville.

Gaskin started and had a featured role after he snapped in the 60 percent range the first two weeks. He lost redzone carries to Jordan Howard, who vultured a one-yard touchdown, but Gaskin was the clear lead back over Howard (7%) and Matt Breida (18%). Gaskin will remain the touch favorite for a Week 4 matchup with Seattle.

JAMES ROBINSON
RB, JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

James Robinson played 30-of-66 snaps (45 percent) in Week 3 against Miami.

It’s down from the 68% Robinson played in Week 1 and the 51% snap share he had last week. Robinson had two redzone scores and led Jacksonville in receiving (83) despite a negative gamescript that had them chasing points. The Jaguars went with Chris Thompson (45%) and Laviska Shenault in pass heavy sets, cutting into Robinson's ceiling. Robinson should have better gameflow for a Week 4 matchup with the Bengals.
