Hopkins caught 14 of 16 targets for 151 yards during Sunday's 24-20 win over the 49ers.

Hopkins drew a whopping 43-percent target share in this one and torched one of the best defensive units in the NFL from a season ago. He was limited mostly to shorter catches but did a large chunk of damage on a 33-yard gain in the fourth quarter that came within a whisker of a touchdown, setting up Kenyan Drake's decisive one-yard plunge. Hopkins appears to have settled in just fine with his new offensive scheme and should be considered an elite fantasy option in next Sunday's matchup with Washington.

Gage corralled nine of 12 targets for a career-high 114 receiving yards during Sunday's 38-25 loss to the Seahawks.

Gage picked up right where he left off at the tail end of 2019 when he filled in as the No. 2 option at wide receiver while Calvin Ridley missed three games with an abdomen injury. The former LSU Tiger averaged eight targets per game between Weeks 12 and 17 last year, and he demonstrated a high PPR floor during that span by collecting 32 total catches. Gage owns just one touchdown on 68 offensive touches for his career, but as long as he is the No. 3 receiver in Atlanta's passing game he will remain fantasy relevant. The 24-year-old projects to be a popular waiver-wire pickup based on both opportunity and talent as he prepares for a Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys.

Renfrow hauled in two receptions on two targets for a total of 21 yards in Week 1 against Carolina.

Renfrow was overshadowed by a number of options in the passing attack, including both Henry Ruggs and Darren Waller. He did manage to haul in both of his opportunities, one for 11 yards and the other for 10. Without volume, Renfrow lacks fantasy upside due to his usage primarily in short-yardage pass attempts. He and the Raiders will square off against the Saints in Week 2.

Chark caught all three of his targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Colts.

Chark saw surprisingly limited volume with both Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole out-targeting him. That was partially the product of a surprisingly positive game script for the Jaguars, as Gardner Minshew attempted only 20 passes. Despite the emphasis on the run, Chark still delivered a touchdown on a six-yard reception. Jacksonville could be in line for another slow-paced contest in Week 2 as they match up against Tennessee.

Cole hauled in all five of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Colts.

Cole got a big boost as he was active ahead of Dede Westbrook (coach's decision). He delivered on the opportunity, catching a wide open 22-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give the Jaguars the lead. He turned in only short gains otherwise but could continue to see decent playing time so long as he remains ahead of Westbrook on the depth chart.

Jones caught four of eight targets for 55 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.

Jones had one of the highlights of the game when he ran over Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson in the open field. While fantasy owners were probably hoping for more on a statistical level given the absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring), it's possible Jones has a better chance of being productive when there is someone like Golladay available to take defensive attention away. It's not clear if Golladay will return for Week 2 against Green Bay.

James has been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

The 49ers have suffered yet another injury to their receiving corps. In Week 1, Brandon Aiyuk was absent with a hamstring issue of his own, while Deebo Samuel (foot), Jalen Hurd (knee), Chris Thompson (undisclosed) and Tavon Austin (knee) occupied spots on injured reserve. With James sidelined, San Francisco is down to just three healthy bodies at wide receiver: Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor and Dante Pettis.

Campbell tallied six receptions on nine targets for 71 yards in Week 1 against the Jaguars. He also chipped in one rush for nine yards.

Campbell got off to a fast start, tallying receptions of 21 and 18 yards on the first two offensive possessions. He turned in one additional reception of 17 yards in the second quarter but was mostly quiet thereafter. Campbell tied for the team lead in targets with T.Y. Hilton, a positive sign that he is in line to take a leap in his second season as a pro. He'll look to build on this effort in the team's Week 2 matchup against the Vikings.

Moore saw nine targets but managed only four receptions for 54 yards in Week 1 against the Raiders.

Moore led the team with nine targets, but both Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel saw only one fewer opportunity. Moore wasn't particularly efficient when the ball came his way, averaging just six yards per target. He is likely still gaining rapport with new quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and will be the focus of opposing defenses' gameplan. That may force him to make some adjustments early on this season, but he'll look to get on track in a Week 2 matchup against the Buccaneers.

Shenault recorded three receptions on four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Colts. He added two rush attempts for 10 yards.

Shenault recorded the first touchdown of his career late in the second quarter as he cut across the middle of the field for a 15-yard score. Reports suggested the Jaguars would look for creative ways to involve Shanault, and that was the case Sunday as he was utilized as both a rusher and receiver while playing 31 of 50 offensive snaps. Shenault will look to remain involved in Week 2 against the Titans.
