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.

Kirk brought in one of four targets for 30 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

With Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones now elsewhere, Kirk was expected to fill a true No. 1 role for Trevor Lawrence, at least early in the season. However, that didn't exactly come to fruition Sunday, with Kirk unable to follow up his early second-quarter chunk play. Kirk did finish tied for the team lead in targets, but the entire passing game could be more productive in a Week 2 home opener against a Browns team that played much less effective defense on the road than it did at home last season.

Robinson caught six of 12 targets for 44 yards and added a 14-yard run in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Robinson was frequently targeted near the line of scrimmage and finished with five more targets than second-place Malik Nabers, though Nabers led the team with 66 receiving yards. The Giants' entire passing game will continue to struggle barring significant improvement from quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for just 186 yards on 42 pass attempts (4.4 yards per attempt) with a 0:2 TD:INT. A Week 2 trip to Washington could be just what the Giants need, as Jones is 5-1-1 with a 10:3 TD:INT against the Commanders in his career.

Diggs caught all six of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts. He added six rushing yards on one carry.

While Nico Collins remained the top downfield option for C.J. Stroud, Diggs made an immediate impact as a red-zone threat in his debut for the Texans. The former Bill put his new team in the lead for good with a nine-yard score early in the second quarter, then hauled in Houston's final TD of the afternoon with a three-yard grab late in the fourth. Diggs scored at least eight touchdowns in all four of his seasons with Buffalo and has reached that mark six times in total during his career, and it looks like he'll have no trouble doing it again with the Texans in 2024. Diggs will make his home debut for Houston in Week 2 against the Bears.

Collins caught six of eight targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.

The fourth-year wideout immediately re-established his chemistry with C.J. Stroud, topping 100 yards to open 2024 after doing so five times last season en route to a 1,297-yard breakout. While Collins led the Texans in receiving yards and targets, newcomer Stefon Diggs caught two red-zone TDs from Stroud and tied Collins for the team lead with six catches, giving secondaries another serious threat to worry about. Collins will look to keep rolling in a Week 2 matchup against the Bears.

Addison will undergo tests on his injured right ankle Monday, but the issue isn't thought to be a serious one, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Addison tended to a left high-ankle sprain last month that kept him off the practice field until Sept. 2, and he eventually avoided a designation for the Vikings' Week 1 road matchup with the Giants. However, he exited Sunday's eventual win in the third quarter and didn't return due to an injury to his other ankle. If Rapoport's report proves to be true, Addison may miss little, if any, time, but the aforementioned testing ultimately will determine if an absence is possible.

Dortch caught six of eight targets for 47 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills. He also had a six-yard punt return.

Dortch led the Cardinals in catches and receiving yards while finishing one target shy of Trey McBride's team-leading total. The slot receiver's significant Week 1 involvement was encouraging, but rookie fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison had just four yards on three targets in his NFL debut, and Harrison will almost certainly be significantly more involved on the outside moving forward. The Cardinals will host the Rams in Week 2.

Shakir caught all three of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Shakir made an athletic play on his 11-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, rolling over a defender's body while avoiding being touched down to get across the goal line. The 24-year-old wide receiver has a chance to become the top option for Josh Allen after the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but Shakir finished second on the team in both targets and receiving yards to rookie Keon Coleman, who caught four of his five targets for 51 yards in his NFL debut. Buffalo primarily leaned on its ground game in the season opener, but the Bills may opt to air it out more Thursday in Miami.

Thomas brought in all four targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Thomas finished as the team leader in receptions and tied for first in targets as well while qualifying as the runner-up in receiving yards. The explosive rookie also recorded his first NFL touchdown on an impressive catch against standout cornerback Jalen Ramsey from 14 yards out just past the midway point of the second quarter. Thomas already looks to have solid chemistry with Trevor Lawrence, but he'll have another steep challenge against the Browns' talented secondary Week 2.

Coleman caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Coleman led the team in targets and receiving yards in his NFL debut, but the rookie second-round pick was held out of the end zone while fellow Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins both scored touchdowns. Most of Coleman's yardage came on a 28-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter, which got the ball down to the six-yard line and set up quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the game. Coleman and the Bills will have a short turnaround before facing the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday.
