  • Jamal Agnew WR | ATL

    Jaguars' Jamal Agnew: Two touches on offense

    Agnew rushed once for six yards, caught his lone target for six yards and returned one punt for two yards during Sunday's 28-22 loss at Washington.

    Between five kickoffs and three punts, the 27-year-old received only one opportunity in the return game, though he did garner a couple touches from scrimmage. Agnew finished fourth among Jacksonville's wideouts with seven offensive snaps, and he's unlikely to have much of a role beyond the return game while Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones and Zay Jones remain healthy.

  • Amari Rodgers WR | IND

    Packers' Amari Rodgers: Limited to returns in opener

    Rodgers returned one kick for 14 yards and one punt for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Rodgers fielded all the returns the Packers had Week 1, but he was limited to special-teams work only and did not see a snap on offense, even with top wideout Allen Lazard (ankle) inactive. Rodgers should continue handling the return duties, but don't expect much else from him at this point.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Just 37 yards receiving in opener

    Campbell had three receptions for 37 yards on four targets in Sunday's tie at Houston.

    Campbell's stats are a little misleading in that he had a 27-yard garbage time reception when both teams were just running out the clock at the end of overtime. He played on 71 of the offense's 92 snaps, but he didn't appear to be a big part of the game plan, and Matt Ryan seemed to have a better rapport with Ashton Dulin. At least Campbell stayed healthy -- he's played just 15 games in three years -- and it's just one game, but there's reason for concern.

  • Zach Pascal WR | NYG

    Eagles' Zach Pascal: Pulls in lone target

    Pascal brought in his only target for seven yards in the Eagles' 38-35 win over the Lions on Sunday.

    It wasn't a particularly notable performance for Pascal, but it did make him the lone Eagles wideout not named A.J. Brown to pull in a pass. Brown's 13 targets and 10 catches didn't leave much room for anyone else, and Pascal won't necessarily be the primary beneficiary if the Eagles spread the ball around more in the future, as he saw the field for just 17 snaps.

  • Nelson Agholor WR | BAL

    Patriots' Nelson Agholor: Three catches in opener

    Agholor was on the field for 33 of the Patriots' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-7 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Agholor ended up with three catches on five targets for 28 yards Week 1 while being out-snapped by DeVante Parker (57) and Jakobi Meyers (50). Looking ahead to this coming weekend's contest against the Steelers while operating in an offense that spreads the ball around, Agholor's Week 2 fantasy upside appears modest, especially if QB Mac Jones is limited or sidelined by a back injury.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Six targets in season opener

    Dulin had three receptions for 46 yards on six targets in Sunday's tie at Houston.

    Alec Pierce started in a three-receiver set with Dulin on the bench to begin the game as the fourth receiver, but Dulin had more targets (Pierce had two) and nearly as many snaps (32 to Pierce's 47). It was Pierce's first game as a rookie, and he should improve even after a big drop in the end zone Sunday, so Dulin likely will stay the No. 4 receiver. However, it's worth tracking Dulin in case Pierce fails to hold on to the starting role or the oft-injured Parris Campbell goes down again. Dulin's role in the passing game continues to trend upward after an enticing 2021 season.

  • Quez Watkins WR | PHI

    Eagles' Quez Watkins: Not targeted in Week 1

    Watkins wasn't targeted in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Lions.

    A.J. Brown was the only Philadelphia receiver to see much action on the day, accounting for 13 of the Eagles' wideouts' 18 targets and 10 of the group's 11 receptions. Those looking for optimism regarding Watkins' fantasy value can point to the fact he at least had a clear hold on the Eagles' third receiver role, seeing the field for 41 snaps compared to just 17 for Zach Pascal, but for at least Week 1, he didn't have a role in the air attack.

  • DeVante Parker WR | PHI

    Patriots' DeVante Parker: Held to one catch Sunday

    Parker, who was on the field for all 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami, caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    From a fantasy perspective, the most encouraging thing about Parker's regular-season debut was his workload, as the 2015 first-rounder and Jakobi Meyers (50 snaps) were the Patriots' busiest wideouts Week 1, ahead of Nelson Agholor (33 snaps) and Kendrick Bourne (two snaps). While Parker no doubt will have better weeks production-wise, he'll profile as a speculative fantasy option until he sees increased target volume in New England's offense.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Raiders' Mack Hollins: Solidified as No. 3 receiver

    Hollins caught his only target for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Chargers.

    Hollins encouragingly was on the field for 51 of the Raiders' 58 offensive snaps, but he registered just a three-percent target share while Davante Adams hogged quarterback Derek Carr's attention with 17 looks of his own. Nonetheless, Hollins appears to be locked in as Las Vegas' third option at receiver behind Adams and slot man Hunter Renfrow, though tight end Darren Waller remains an integral part of the aerial attack as well.

  • Titans' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Quiet in home opener

    Westbrook-Ikhine caught one of two targets for 13 yards during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.

    On a day where quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 20 passes to nine different skill players, the 6-foot-2, 211-pounder failed to make much of an impact despite playing the second-most offensive snaps of all Tennessee WRs (68 percent). With the Titans' heavy emphasis on their rushing attack, Westbrook-Ikhine's ceiling may be limited throughout this season, while working in a wide receiver corps that also includes Robert Woods, Kyle Philips and Treylon Burks. The 25-year-old hopes to find more success in the stat sheet Week 2 when the Titans travel to Buffalo next Monday night.
