Lockett is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game against the Rams, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

Lockett got hurt while blocking for Kenneth Walker on a running play, and he was looked at on the field and in the medical tent before news of a concussion check emerged. If Lockett enters the protocol for head injuries, he'll need to complete its five phases before gaining clearance for further game action.

Collins brought in six of 11 targets for 80 yards in the Texans' 25-9 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Collins finished as the Texans' leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the afternoon, demonstrating some encouraging chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud in his pro debut. The third-year speedster already slots in as Houston's de facto No. 1 receiver, so the heavy volume and success Sunday isn't surprising. Collins will have a more appealing matchup on paper in Week 2, when the Texans welcome in a Colts team that surrendered an eight-catch, 101-yard performance to the Jaguars' Calvin Ridley in Week 1.

Burks recorded two catches for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the Saints.

DeAndre Hopkins dominated Ryan Tannehill's attention, which left Burks as an afterthought. It appeared that the team made a concerted effort to get Burks looks to begin the second half, as he was targeted twice and made two receptions for 18 yards to begin the third quarter. However, he disappeared for the rest of the game and had a disappointing start to the season. Positively, he led the team's wide receivers with 54 snaps, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com, so it appears that the knee injury he suffered during training camp won't hold him back.

Godwin secured five of six targets for 51 yards in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Godwin served as the runner-up to Mike Evans in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with the dependable Penn State product joining the latter as Baker Mayfield's two most trusted pass catchers on the afternoon. That should largely be the norm most weeks this season, and Godwin's final catch of the day, an 11-yard grab on third down at the two-minute warning that essentially sealed the win for Tampa Bay, is a fitting example of the veteran's reliability in clutch scenarios. Godwin's first opportunity to build on a solid start to the season comes in a Week 2 home matchup against the Bears.

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.
