  • Ravens' Odell Beckham: Looks fine at practice Friday

    Beckham (ankle) looked "fine" to begin Friday's practice, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

    OBJ was added to the injury report Thursday with the ankle issue, getting in a limited session, but it sounds like it was more precautionary or a rest day for the veteran wideout. Coming off a lost 2022 campaign and entering his age-31 season, Beckham could get a number of rest days this year. He appears fine for Sunday's contest against the Texans.

  • Dax Milne WR | CAR

    Commanders' Dax Milne: Lands on IR

    The Commanders placed Milne (groin) on injured reserve Friday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

    Milne continues to deal with a groin injury sustained during the preseason. He will have to miss at least Washington's first four games of the season before being eligible for a return designation. The 2021 seventh-round pick has yet to rack up 100 receiving yards in a single year.

  • Antoine Green WR | DET

    Lions' Antoine Green: No snaps in season opener

    Green did not log a snap during Thursday's 21-20 win over Kansas City.

    Green secured the No. 5 spot on the depth chart coming out of the preseason, but it does not seem as if there is a role for him on offense or special teams despite the six-game suspension of Jameson Williams. However, it is possible that could change if the struggles of 33-year-old Marvin Jones, who logged over half of the offensive snaps, persist in the coming weeks.

  • Kalif Raymond WR | CHI

    Lions' Kalif Raymond: Snags 20-yard pass

    Raymond caught one pass (one target) for 20 yards during Thursday's 21-20 win over the Chiefs.

    Raymond only saw one look in what ended up being a much slower-paced game than expected. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds operated as the clear No. 2 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown while Marvin Jones handled the No. 3 role. Even though Raymond has the ability to pop for a big play or two on any given week, he won't even be worth a dart throw in DFS formats if he is the No. 6 receiving option behind the top wide receivers plus tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

  • Tank Dell WR | HOU

    Texans' Tank Dell: Returning punts Week 1

    Dell is listed second on the depth chart at one wideout position and will return punts Week 1 against the Ravens, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.

    Dell sits behind wideout Nico Collins, who is slated to start alongside Robert Woods, and hopes to have an impact on an offense that ranked 31st in 2022. He developed an early connection in camp with quarterback C.J. Stroud, which raised expectations for the 2023 third-round draft pick. If he doesn't produce offensively, Dell could provide a lift on special teams; he averaged 17.0 yards per return and scored a touchdown as the primary punt returner for the University of Houston in 2022.

  • Texans' Xavier Hutchinson: Third on depth chart

    Hutchinson is listed third on the depth chart at one wide receiver position for Week 1 against Baltimore.

    Hutchinson sits behind fellow 2023 draft pick Tank Dell and starter Nico Collins. The Iowa State product did not develop as quickly as Dell during the preseason, but the 6-foot-3 Hutchinson has the size to be an ideal red zone target.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Chiefs' Skyy Moore: Quiet in Week 1 loss

    Moore failed to bring in any of his three targets and rushed once for four yards in the Chiefs' 21-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday night.

    No one member of the Chiefs' pass-catching corps saw a major boost in production from the absence of Travis Kelce (knee), and Moore couldn't do anything with his three opportunities. The second-year wideout will be one of several explosive components of Kansas City's air attack this season, but Patrick Mahomes targeted a total of 12 players Thursday in Kelce's absence, so the night wasn't exactly a good gauge of how matters will evolve on that side of the ball. Moore will be one of multiple members of the receiving corps looking to atone for an underwhelming opener during a Week 2 road matchup against the Jaguars a week from Sunday.

  • Marvin Jones WR | DET

    Lions' Marvin Jones: Forgettable regular-season debut

    Jones caught two of six targets for eight yards while losing a fumble during Thursday's 21-20 win over Kansas City.

    Putting together one of the more forgettable games of his career, Jones saw plenty of opportunity but was clearly outdone by Josh Reynolds as the top complimentary receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. The 33-year-old dropped at least one pass that could have led to a possible field-goal try before halftime, and then Jones' first career fumble cost the Lions another likely field-goal attempt in the fourth quarter during crunch time. Even with Jameson Williams suspended for another five games, Jones is hardly on the fantasy radar entering a Week 2 matchup against Seattle.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Seven targets in Williams' absence

    Reynolds caught four of seven targets for 80 yards during Thursday's 21-21 win over the Chiefs.

    If there is a battle for the No. 2 spot on the depth chart during the six-game suspension of Jameson Williams, Reynolds made a much better case for it than Marvin Jones did in this regular-season opener. Reynolds ultimately paced the team in receiving yards while finishing only a couple of targets shy of No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. However, this production isn't exactly new for Reynolds, who has already shown an ability to maintain multi-week fantasy relevance as a fill-in player given the 90ish yards and 9.3 targets he averaged during three consecutive weeks that DJ Chark and Williams missed early last season. Reynolds will look to build upon this performance in a tough Week 2 matchup against the Seahawks.

  • Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Finds end zone

    St. Brown caught six of nine targets for 71 yards with one touchdown during Thursday's 21-20 win over the Chiefs.

    It was more of the same for St. Brown relative to his 2022 numbers, which included per-game averages of 6.6 receptions on 9.1 targets with 72.6 receiving yards. After notoriously getting tackled numerous times around the five-yard last season, it was a bonus for fantasy managers to also see St. Brown plunge into the end zone. While it is possible that first-round rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs -- and/or second-round tight end Sam LaPorta -- could become bigger parts of the short-range passing game as the season unfolds, St. Brown seems set for another big year as the undisputed top receiver in Detroit. Up next is an indoor matchup at home against a talented Seahawks secondary.
