Wilson posted zero targets during Sunday's 47-10 victory over the Panthers. He also fumbled his lone punt return.

Wilson looked more like a core special-teams player than a meaningful offensive contributor Week 1. The 28-year-old played the third-most offensive snaps of any Saints wideout Sunday, but he didn't get any targets while backups Mason Tipton (one) and Bub Means (one) saw more usage late in the game. Wilson also worked as the backup punt returner behind Rashid Shaheed, though the former fumbled his lone opportunity Week 1 on a 34-yard punt late in the fourth quarter. Wilson's next chance to bounce back will come during next Sunday's road matchup in Dallas.

Jennings (ankle) returned to Monday's game against the Jets, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings was injured early in the third quarter and was examined in the medical tent before being deemed officially questionable to return. The veteran wideout missed just a few plays before being cleared to re-enter the game.

Jennings suffered an ankle injury in Monday night's Week 1 game against the Jets and is questionable to return, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings was injured while being tackled on the 49ers' first drive of the third quarter, when a defender landed on the back of the wideout's leg. Prior to leaving and heading the blue medical tent, Jennings caught all three of his targets for a team-best 41 yards at the time of his exit.

Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Even with DeAndre Hopkins limited by a knee injury, Westbrook-Ikhine saw 20 snaps on special teams as opposed to only 12 on offense. He figures to continue to serve in a depth role.

Burks recorded one reception (on two targets) for two yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added two rushes for one yard.

Burks was on the field for 44 offensive snaps, which was more than expected as DeAndre Hopkins was severely limited due to an ongoing knee issue. Despite the opportunity, Burks made a limited impact on the game as his longest gain went for only six yards.

Boyd recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Boyd was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, the second-highest on the team as DeAndre Hopkins was limited by a long-term knee injury. Despite finishing second on the team in targets, Boyd had limited production due to working primarily in the short areas of the field. He should maintain a significant role in the Tennessee offense, though it's unclear how effective Will Levis will be distributing the ball.

Wilson had zero catches on one target in Friday's season opener against the Packers.

Wilson, selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, appeared to have a shot at the Eagles' No. 3 receiver role before the team acquired Jahan Dotson in late August. Wilson saw the field for just 10 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind Dotson's 32 and just barely ahead of fifth wideout Britain Covey's nine. Even if Wilson were to overtake Dotson on the depth chart, don't expect the Eagles to direct many targets to wide receivers not named A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

Dotson finished his Eagles debut Friday against the Packers with zero catches on one target.

Dotson was on the field for 32 offensive snaps, well ahead of fellow depth wideouts Johnny Wilson (10) and Britain Covey (9), but the only time quarterback Jalen Hurts looked his way, it nearly resulted in a pick-six. Dotson's role can only grow from here, and he's likely to be more involved once he's had more than two full weeks of practice with his new team, which acquired him from the Commanders in late August. However, the Eagles haven't typically afforded many targets to receivers other than A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in recent seasons.

Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the field according to head coach Andy Reid, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Brown has been working his way back from a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 10. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the wide receiver is "getting close" and that "it looks like it's heading in the right direction." Once he's healthy, Brown will compete with the likes of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce for targets, likely limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Chosen played on 12 of Miami's 71 offensive snaps against Jacksonville on Sunday and did not catch a pass. The veteran joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster.
