The Philadelphia Eagles are "looking to get A.J. Brown involved more and early" on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. He noted that the Eagles had several plays dialed up for Brown to get more targets last week, but they didn't work out, and the star receiver finished Week 1 with just one reception. Based on Garafolo's comments, it appears that last week should be treated as an anomaly, and Brown will be more involved in Week 2. An increased target share could come naturally for Brown as the Eagles will be without Dallas Goedert (knee), who caught seven passes in the season opener.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan led the Panthers with 68 receiving yards and five receptions on nine targets in their Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Considering the poor play of quarterback Bryce Young and the Panthers' offense as a whole, McMillan's fantasy output in PPR leagues wasn't terrible (11.8 PPR points). However, if you roster McMillan in fantasy, you likely need him to produce WR2 numbers, which he didn't quite do in Week 1. Heading into Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals, McMillan will once again have opportunities, as he was on the field for 83% of the Panthers' offensive plays in Week 1, leading all Panthers wideouts. The question is whether the Panthers' offensive line can give Young enough time to get the ball downfield for big plays to the big-bodied McMillan. If Young can improve in Week 2, it is expected that McMillan will outscore his Week 1 total. McMillan is a solid WR3/Flex option with WR2 upside heading into Week 2 against Arizona.
