Metcalf finished with three receptions on four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 26-20 win over the Broncos.

Metcalf fell victim to a run-heavy game script that featured teammate Kenneth Walker (abdominal) breaking the century mark in rushing yards and scoring one of two touchdowns by Seattle running backs on the day. The star wideout will have better games ahead, especially if Walker is unable to suit up against the Patriots next Sunday. For reference, Metcalf had just three receptions in Week 1 of the 2023 season before finishing the campaign with 1,114 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.

McConkey caught five of his seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

It's worth noting McConkey's touchdown came in the waning moments of the game as the weary Raiders defense sold out to stop the run, allowing the rookie to get wide open on a short crossing route. He easily juked two defenders en route to the end zone. Regardless of how it happened, it's hard to call Sunday's effort anything but a resounding debut considering he led the team in receiving yards and targets despite most coming near the line of scrimmage. The run-centric offensive attack likely won't change in Week 2 when the Chargers travel to take on a Panthers defense that allowed 47 points Sunday.

Mitchell caught one of five targets for two yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

The rookie wideout didn't make an impact in his NFL debut, but Mitchell had opportunities to do so and got overthrown by Anthony Richardson -- including on what would have been a wide-open touchdown in the second quarter. Mitchell finished second on the Colts in targets, but it's not clear how big a role he'll have when Josh Downs (ankle) gets healthy. Mitchell will try to establish more chemistry with his QB in Week 2 against the Packers.

Pittman caught four of eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

The fifth-year wideout led the Colts in catches and targets, but Pittman wasn't able to do much with the volume as his longest reception went for only 13 yards. Anthony Richardson and the Colts' passing game struggled to sustain drives in the team's opener, but Pittman's role is encouraging for his future production. He'll look to do more damage in Week 2 against the Packers.

Pierce caught all three of his targets for 125 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

The third-year wideout made a huge impact as a deep threat for Anthony Richardson, hauling in a 60-yard TD in the first quarter and adding a 57-yard reception in the fourth on the Colts' final scoring drive. Seven of Pierce's 76 career catches have gone for 40 yards or more, an impressive ratio that seems likely to get even better if Richardson stays healthy this season. In Week 2, Pierce will take aim at a Packers secondary that gave up plenty of big plays to the Eagles in its opener.

Moore recorded five receptions on eight targets for 36 tards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Moore didn't have a particularly strong stat line, but he showed the best rapport with Caleb Williams of the Bears' pass catchers. He caught each of Williams' three longest completions, which went for gains of 13, 12 and 11 yards. While it was a disappointing start to the season for Chicago's offense, better production can be expected in future weeks, and Moore looks to still be the centerpiece of the wide-receiver unit after his excellent 2023 campaign.

Douglas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

No Patriots pass catcher recorded more than three receptions, so in that context, Douglas, New England's de facto No. 1 receiver, didn't have an appreciably quieter afternoon than his teammates. There could be many similarly modest receiving lines for the second-year speedster sprinkled throughout the season as long as New England can effectively lean on the ground attack and its defense, but Douglas may have a chance at more opportunity in a Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks.

Dell caught three of seven targets for 40 yards and added 19 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.

The second-year wideout looked healthy, which was the most important thing after his rookie season ended early due to a broken fibula. While Dell's production wasn't impressive in his first regular-season action since December, his target volume was comparable to both Nico Collins (6-117-0 on a team-high eight targets) and offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs (6-33-2 on six targets). With Dell still apparently set for a significant role in the Texans' dynamic passing attack, he'll look to make a bigger impact in Week 2 against the Bears.

Iosivas brought in three of six targets for 26 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

The second-year wideout finished tied for first in targets and for second in receptions while also qualifying as the runner-up in receiving yards, but that overstates his overall production significantly. The entire Bengals' air attack was stuck in neutral for the most part against a surprisingly effective Patriots defense, and even the absence of Tee Higgins (hamstring) couldn't clear a path for a stronger performance for Iosivas, who could be similarly challenged to offer useful fantasy production in a Week 2 visit to the Chiefs next Sunday.

Davis brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Davis managed a team-high yardage total in his Jaguars regular-season debut, securing grabs of 22, 20 and 20 yards that fit perfectly with his downfield profile. The veteran speedster is expected to help replace the speed component provided by the departed Calvin Ridley a year ago, and he'll look to garner some chunk plays again versus a talented Browns secondary in a Week 2 home matchup.
