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.

Coach Kevin O'Connell relayed after Sunday's win over the Giants that Addison injured his right ankle in Week 1, rather than his left one, which he hurt last month, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Per Seifert, Addison will be evaluated again once the team returns to Minnesota. Meanwhile, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune adds that O'Connell said that he hoped the wideout's current ankle issue is a short-term situation. Either way, Addison's status is worth tracking ahead of next Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Waddle brought in all five targets for 109 yards in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.

Waddle was overshadowed by fellow wideout Tyreek Hill -- who finished with seven receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown -- but the fourth-year pro made quite an impact in his own right. The Alabama product connected with Tua Tagovailoa for a big 63-yard reception to start an early third-quarter drive, and he also played a key role in a late second-quarter march that resulted in the Dolphins' first touchdown by drawing a pass interference penalty and subsequently recording a 20-yard grab. Waddle also was evaluated for a concussion in the first half but cleared after a visit to the medical tent, per Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. Waddle won't have to wait long to attempt to build on his impressive season-opening effort, as the Bills come to town for a Week 2 divisional showdown Thursday night.

Jefferson secured four of six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 28-6 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Jefferson had modest totals overall, but all three components of the star wideout's receiving line were team-high figures. The majority of his production actually came on a 44-yard grab, but the highlight of his fantasy day was a three-yard touchdown grab to cap off an 11-play, 99-yard drive that took up over half of the second quarter. Jefferson and new quarterback Sam Darnold showed good chemistry overall, and Minnesota's ability to dominate defensively made an overly aggressive game plan unnecessary, meaning there's likely much better numbers to come from the duo in future games. Week 2 may prove a heavy lift in that regard, however, as Minnesota will welcome in the 49ers next Sunday.

Nabers had five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

After failing to catch his first two targets, Nabers made his first catch late in the first quarter, finding a hole in Minnesota's zone defense to pick up 25 yards on third down. He finished with a team-high 66 receiving yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson led the Giants in both targets (12) and catches (six) despite finishing with only 44 yards. Daniel Jones didn't look down the field much as the Giants failed to get into the end zone, so while Nabers clearly looks like the most talented member of New York's offense, he may be held back by the ineptitude around him. The Giants have routinely dominated the Commanders of late, which bodes well for Nabers' Week 2 outlook against a Washington secondary that allowed the most passing yards in the league last season.

Harrison caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.

Harrison's much-anticipated NFL debut ended up being a dud, as slot receiver Greg Dortch led a run-heavy Arizona offense with 47 receiving yards. The rookie fourth overall pick out of Ohio State got wide open behind the defense on Arizona's final drive, but quarterback Kyler Murray didn't see him and the Cardinals ended up turning the ball over on downs in Bills territory with a chance to win the game. Harrison will look to bounce back from this disappointing NFL debut in Week 2 against a Rams defense with less talent in the secondary than Buffalo.

Hill brought in seven of 12 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 11 yards.

A day that began in less than ideal fashion for Hill due to a pregame incident where he was briefly detailed by local police during a traffic stop culminated in a signature performance for the fleet-footed star. Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, a familiar distinction. He also secured his first touchdown of the season on an 80-yard grab late in the third quarter to bring Miami within 17-14 at the time. There aren't expected to be any further legal ramifications for Hill stemming from the police encounter, so he should be available without restrictions again in four days when the Dolphins have an early-season showdown with the division-rival Bills on Thursday night.

Chase secured all six targets for 62 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

The standout receiver couldn't parlay what was once an unlikely Week 1 appearance into a truly fruitful fantasy day, but Chase did set the pace for the Bengals in receptions and receiving yards while also tying for the team lead in targets. His outlook heading into the contest was decidedly murky, considering he'd been dealing with an illness, had practiced only a handful of times since the start of training camp and was still without the contract extension that had caused his summer-long hold-in. Nevertheless, Chase did help pick up some of the slack for the absent Tee Higgins (hamstring), but he was capped by the play of a relatively ineffective Joe Burrow. The entire Bengals offense will have to fix whatever ailed it Sunday in a hurry, as an exceedingly tough Week 2 road matchup against the Chiefs awaits.

Flournoy (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Flournoy, who is listed as No. 6 on the Cowboys' wide receiver depth chart will be the odd man out from their receiving corps Week 1. The 24-year-old was selected in the sixth round by Dallas in the 2024 Draft and he'll now look to Week 2 against the Saints for his next opportunity to suit up.
