Skowronek reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Skowronek played all ten of his snaps on special teams during the Steelers' win at Atlanta in Week 1. It looks like the Steelers aspire to be a run-heavy offense in 2024 as long as game script allows, so there probably won't be many weeks where Pittsburgh pass catchers not named George Pickens draw enough target volume for fantasy consideration in most leagues.

Kennedy reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Kennedy was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams, failing to produce any stats while playing four offensive snaps and six snaps on special teams. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before the Lions would have to officially sign him to the 53-man roster.

Humphrey reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Humphrey played 21 offensive snaps during the Broncos' loss at Seattle in Week 1, but he drew just one target, which fell incomplete. Given his healthy involvement in the offense, there's a decent chance he'll get called on to suit up again in Week 2.

Pryor reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.

Pryor was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss versus the Patriots as Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Ja'Marr Chase (illness) were both questionable entering game day, although only Higgins ended up being inactive. Although Chase is now healthy, Pryor could still be elevated once again versus the Chiefs next week if Higgins remains out.

Blair reverted to the Falcons' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Blair was elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers, failing to produce any stats while playing six snaps with the special-teams unit. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before the team would have to officially add him to the 53-man roster.

Odunze sustained an MCL sprain during Sunday's 24-17 win against the Titans and will be considered week-to-week, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Odunze emerged from his NFL debut with a knee injury, and after undergoing an MRI, he seems poised to miss some time. The rookie first-round pick didn't do much Week 1, hauling in only one of four targets for 11 yards while playing 43 of 56 offensive snaps. Assuming Odunze is sidelined this coming Sunday at Houston, DeAndre Carter and Velus Jones would be in line for additional reps behind starting wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen.

Bobo wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Bobo played 19 offensive snaps, far ahead of Laviska Shenault and Dareke Young (both seven), but he wasn't able to make use of the extended look. The snap count ranks him fourth in the wide-receiver pecking order. There's no indication that his fantasy utility will dependable this season.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters Monday that Weaver (oblique) is expected to be back on the field this week, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

After missing the Cardinals' Week 1 outing with an oblique injury, it appears Weaver is nearing a return to the field. The undrafted wideout from Colorado surprisingly made Arizona's 53-man roster after an impressive preseason, and he's expected to serve as a depth piece in the team's wide receiver room once he moves past his oblique issue.

Shenault caught his lone target for no gain and rushed once for one yard in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos. He also returned three kickoffs for 74 yards.

The Seahawks are using Shenault in a gadget function, as he played just seven offensive snaps. As the No. 5 wide receiver, Shenault has little fantasy utility outside of deep leagues that generously reward return yards.

Smith-Njigba caught both of his targets for 19 total yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

It was an underwhelming performance for the second-year receiver, especially with Tyler Lockett catching six passes for 77 yards and DK Metcalf catching three passes for 29 yards. Still, it's encouraging that Smith-Njigba played 53 of 67 offensive snaps (79 percent) while Lockett played just 26 snaps (54 percent). That bodes well for his long-term outlook, but he may have a tough Week 2 matchup on tap against a Patriots team that just held Joe Burrow to 164 passing yards.
