Odunze recorded one reception on four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Odunze had the quietest performance of the Bears' wide receiver trio. He made his lone catch and first as a pro with 1:30 left in the second quarter, which came off of a deflection on a pass that was not intended for him. Per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, Odunze was on the field for 40 of the Bears' 54 offensive snaps. That bodes well for his potential production moving forward despite a disappointing NFL debut.

Nacua (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Lions.

Nacua got hurt in the first half after catching all four of his targets for 35 yards and adding a seven-yard rush. It's unclear if this knee injury is related to the bursa sac issue in his knee that bothered Nacua throughout August but didn't affect his preparation during the week leading up to Sunday's regular-season opener. Per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, Nacua came back in for a play after the initial questionable designation but then limped to the sideline.

Allen recorded four receptions on 11 targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Like the entire Chicago offense, Allen disappointed in Week 1. He was extremely inefficient, averaging only 2.6 yards per target with a long reception of nine yards. Positively, Allen was the most-targeted option of the Bears' three top receivers, so when Caleb Williams presumably improves, Allen should be a significant beneficiary.

Reynolds corralled five of eight targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.

Reynolds finished with the most receiving yards of any Denver wideout but trailed Courtland Sutton in targets (12). The veteran wideout battled an Achilles injury this preseason but did not appear limited in Sunday's contest. Denver's passing game didn't look strong to kick off the Bo Nix era, but Reynolds will look to garner healthy targets as the No. 2 option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Steelers.

Vele finished with eight receptions on as many targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to Seattle.

Vele didn't do a whole lot with the short receptions, as Bo Nix struggled to get the ball downfield to his receivers in the one-score loss. The seventh-round rookie still stood out in the box score over Marvin Mims (no receptions) while tying Josh Reynolds in targets (eight) behind No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton (12 targets). Vele's heavy involvement makes the rookie wideout a worthy target as an early waiver-wire option in deeper leagues.

London recorded two receptions on three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

London was expected to reach a new level of production this season with a modernized offense in Atlanta and Kirk Cousins under center. However, his Week 1 performance left plenty to be desired, as he finished with fewer targets than Ray-Ray McCloud and Bijan Robinson. Cousins was uncharacteristically inefficient in his first game action in 10 months, so it's probably too early to panic.

Sutton had four receptions off of 12 targets for 38 yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.

Bo Nix's start to his career in Denver did not go well as a passer (no touchdowns and two picks), and Sutton fell victim to the effects of the rookie rollercoaster to kick off the regular season. The veteran wideout has the skills to produce big fantasy totals, but he will require improved quarterback play to do so. Those invested in Sutton should not lose faith in the wideout ahead of next Sunday's tilt against New England.

Lockett (thigh) brought in six of seven targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Lockett was battling a thigh injury this preseason, and while his presence in the lineup wasn't in serious doubt, fantasy managers should be pleased with Sunday's results. The veteran wideout should remain an integral part of Seattle's balanced passing attack. That said, an absent Kenneth Walker (abdomen) from next week's tilt against the Patriots could produce another healthy target total for Lockett.

Godwin converted all eight of his targets into receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Commanders.

Godwin was the leading receiver for Tampa Bay in terms of receptions, targets and yardage, but fellow star wideout Mike Evans grabbed two of Baker Mayfield's four touchdown passes Sunday. More importantly, the 28-year-old Godwin looked healthy running routes in the win after battling minor leg injuries in past seasons. Both Godwin and Evans make for fine fantasy starters on a weekly basis, including next Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

Evans caught five of six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 37-20 win over Washington.

Evans finished third in receiving yards for the Buccaneers while logging the most fantasy points by scoring twice in the win. The superstar wideout is fresh off of a contract extension and looks to be in sync with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield to kick things off this fantasy campaign. Evans will face a stiffer test in terms of defensive backs when the Bucs face the Lions next Sunday, but the WR1 should always crack starting fantasy lineups so long as he is 100 percent healthy.
