Gavin Bartholomew - Quiet in Week 2 win Bartholomew compiled two receptions (on five targets) for 25 yards during Saturday's 28-27 victory over Cincinnati.
Impact Bartholomew had a quieter day than he did in the opener, but it's worth noting that the tight end still saw five targets, just like he did in Week 1. Quarterback Eli Holstein clearly likes throwing to his tight end; it just didn't result in all that much production against Cincinnati. He should remain a fixture of this passing offense moving forward.

Raphael Williams Jr. - Two catches in win Williams gathered in 2 of 3 targets for 26 yards during Saturday's 28-27 victory versus Cincinnati.
Impact After scoring twice in his Panthers' debut, Williams saw his targets drop from six to three and finished with just 26 yards. Williams hasn't exactly been a big-play threat in his two games with Pittsburgh, and overall has been outshined by Konata Mumpfield. Still, he remains a starting wideout for the Panthers whose production could be touchdown-dependent from a fantasy perspective.

Konata Mumpfield - Continues hot start to season Mumpfield caught 5 of 8 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-27 win over Cincinnati.
Impact After reeling in five catches for 56 yards and a score in the opener, Mumpfield posted an even better performance in Week 2. He's now got three touchdowns through two games, and with 17 targets across two games, he's proving to be quarterback Eli Holstein's favorite target for the Panthers. He'll look to continue to lead the way for Pittsburgh's wideouts in Week 3 in the Backyard Brawl against West Virginia.

Desmond Reid - Monster day vs. Cincinnati Reid tallied 19 carries for 148 yards and gathered in 6 of 8 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-27 win over Cincinnati.
Impact Reid has gotten off to an excellent start to the season for the Panthers. The Western Carolina transfer has ran for 145-plus yards in each of his first two games with Pittsburgh. Against Cincinnati, however, he added another exciting element to his game as a receiver, reeling in six catches for 106 yards and a receiving touchdown. He's clearly one of, it not the most dangerous weapon the Panthers have, and he should regularly lead the way for Pittsburgh's offense this season.
