Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Four catches in Wilson's debut
Sutton caught four of seven targets for 72 yards in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.
Sutton had just one catch for 30 yards on two targets as the Broncos took a 17-13 deficit into the locker room, but he was more involved in the second half as Russell Wilson started to look downfield more often. Both Sutton and Jerry Jeudy caught four of seven targets, but running back Javonte Williams saw the most volume in the passing game with 11 catches for 65 yards on 12 targets. Sutton doesn't look like the clear top weapon in Seattle's passing game, but the 6-foot-4 receiver should serve as a key target for Wilson on a weekly basis, including in Week 2 against the Texans.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Long TD ends lengthy drought
Jeudy caught four of seven targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.
After failing to score a touchdown all of last season, Jeudy quickly benefited from the offseason addition of star quarterback Russell Wilson, snapping a scoring drought that extended back to the final game of the 2020 campaign with a 67-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Denver had no trouble moving the ball but failed to execute in the red zone, where Jeudy's impact has been minimal since the Broncos selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft -- he has only 11 red-zone targets in 27 career NFL games. The third-year wideout's already developing downfield chemistry with Wilson and will look to build on this strong start when the Texans come to town in Week 2.

Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Carves out role in opener
Robinson caught two of four targets for 19 yards Sunday against the Jets.
The recently acquired Robinson had a solid role in his regular-season debut for the Ravens with four targets, which tied for third on the team. He played 23 of a possible 51 snaps and functioned as the No. 3 receiver behind Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. Robinson's target per snap rate is somewhat encouraging, but he'll need to start converting those opportunities into more production before he can be considered to be back on the fantasy radar.

Marquez Callaway WR | LV
Saints' Marquez Callaway: Non-factor Sunday
Callaway was not targeted while playing 20 offensive snaps during the Saints' 27-26 victory against the Falcons on Sunday.
Callaway lined up out wide on 33 percent of New Orleans' offensive plays during this season opener. Still, Saints quarterback Jameis Winston opted to direct his 34 passing attempts, including 24 in the second half, to other receivers during the team's comeback win as Jarvis Landry, Michael Thomas and rookie first-rounder Chris Olave accounted for all but one of the team's wide receiver targets Sunday. It's likely that Callaway will continue to see a lack of opportunities as long as the aforementioned trio remains healthy.

Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Turner did not record any traditional counting statistics while primarily playing on special teams (18 of his 19 total snaps) during San Francisco's season opener Sunday. The 26-year-old wideout caught 12 of his 16 targets for 149 yards and three scores over 14 contests with Dallas last year. Turner is now eligible for two more practice squad elevations with the 49ers moving forward this season.

Winfree is now eligible for two more such elevations before he would have to be added to the team's active roster in order to suit up in any more games this season.
