Williams (head) returned to Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Williams was evaluated for a head injury earlier in the contest, but the wideout has been cleared to return to the field and will thus reclaim his key role in the Chargers offense versus Miami.

Beckham brought in two of three targets for 37 yards in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.

The veteran wideout was largely quiet in his team debut, but he still managed to finish second in receiving yardage thanks in large part to a 29-yard grab in the fourth quarter on a pretty touch pass down the left sideline from Lamar Jackson. Rookie first-round pick Zay Flowers looks primed for a sizable role if his 10 targets Sunday are any indication, and Rashod Bateman should also become progressively more involved as the season unfolds, but Beckham should also see an uptick in targets during more competitive matchups than Sunday's.

Thomas recorded five receptions on eight targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 16-15 win over the Titans.

Thomas finished second on the team in targets behind only Chris Olave. The former began his day with an impressive 25-yard grab down the left sideline but operated primarily in short areas of the field thereafter. Thomas should continue to soak up targets in that role, as Rashid Shaheed projects to serve as the deep threat while Olave should be the top option.

Flowers brought in nine of 10 targets for 78 yards and rushed twice for nine yards in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Flowers' pro debut was even more impressive than the numbers indicate when factoring in Lamar Jackson completed just 17 passes for 169 yards overall. The rookie's longest catch went for a relatively modest 21 yards, but after averaging 15.3 yards per reception in his four college seasons, the short-area role he filled Sunday isn't likely to be the norm. Flowers will look to build on his status as Baltimore's leading receiver across the board when he faces the Bengals on the road in Week 2.

Moore caught three of seven targets for 43 yards and rushed twice for 19 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals.

Making his Cleveland debut after being acquired from the Jets in an offseason trade, Moore led his new team in receiving yards while tying for the team lead in targets with Amari Cooper. Moore's speed complements Cooper's contested catch ability and Nick Chubb's physicality on the ground, so the new addition should continue to play a prominent role on Monday Night Football against the Steelers in Week 2.

Cooper caught three of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 24-3 win over the Bengals.

Cooper tied Elijah Moore for the team lead in targets and finished six receiving yards shy of Moore's 43, which led all receivers on either team on a rainy afternoon. In his first season with the Browns last year, Cooper produced his sixth 1,000-yard campaign and scored a career-high nine touchdowns. The veteran wide receiver should remain a key target for QB Deshaun Watson in Week 2 against the Steelers on Monday Night Football.

Addison brought in four of six targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The rookie first-round pick managed to make some noise right from the onset of his pro career, hauling in a 39-yard scoring pass early in the second quarter for Minnesota's first points of the season. Addison finished second on the Vikings in receiving yardage behind his prolific fellow starting wideout Justin Jefferson while checking in third in targets behind him and T.J. Hockenson. Addison will aim to build on a strong debut during a tough Week 2 road matchup against the Eagles on Thursday night and attempt to capitalize on the defensive attention sure to come the way of his aforementioned pair of fellow pass catchers.

Pittman caught eight of 11 targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Jaguars.

Rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson quickly realized Pittman was his most reliable option, leaning on him heavily with the game on the line in the fourth quarter. No other Colts player managed more than 39 receiving yards on the afternoon -- a total Pittman matched on a single play when he took a third-quarter screen pass 39 yards to the end zone. Richardson left Sunday's loss late with a bruised knee, but whether the 2023 fourth overall pick is under center in Week 2 or gets replaced by Gardner Minshew, Pittman will be a big part of the Indy game plan against the Texans.

Williams is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Prior to his exit from the contest, Williams caught his only target for three yards. In his absence, Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnstonand Derius Davis are on hand to log WR snaps alongside Keenan Allen.

Higgins finished without a catch on eight targets in Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Browns.

After failing to work out a contract extension with the Bengals prior to the season, Higgins started this potential contract year with a goose egg. Higgins was blanked on three first-half targets as Joe Burrow threw for just 36 yards and the Bengals took a 10-0 deficit into the locker room. Things didn't get any better after halftime, as Burrow finished with just 82 yards and Higgins remained catch-less. Higgins topped 1,000 yards in each of the previous two seasons, so he's likely to shake off this clunker in Week 2 against the Ravens.
