Mooney caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in Chicago's 27-23 victory over the Lions Sunday.

With Chicago trailing by multiple scores throughout the second half, Mooney saw regular work in three-receiver sets, and he ended the day as the team's third leading receiver. Based on this solid performance, he's a player fantasy managers may consider adding to their benches with the hopes of streaming him in games in which the Bears are likely to throw the ball often.

Anderson tallied six catches on eight targets for 115 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Raiders.

Anderson racked up just one target fewer than D.J. Moore, surprising volume for the deep threat. However, the majority of his production came on a 75-yard deep touchdown reception halfway through the fourth quarter. Anderson showed immediate chemistry with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, which should bode well for him remaining involved in the offense. He and the Panthers will draw a stiff test in Week 2 as they take on the Buccaneers.

Diggs caught eight of nine targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.

Diggs had a solid Bills debut and led the team in receiving yards, but he was outplayed by John Brown, who finished with six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown. Brown topped 1,000 yards in 2019 and already has a rapport with quarterback Josh Allen, so it could take some time for Diggs to surpass Brown as Allen's go-to guy. Diggs took a couple of punishing blows in this one but held onto the ball through the contact each time, and that toughness should help earn Allen's trust ahead of a Week 2 trip to Miami. Allen topped 300 passing yards for the first time in his career Sunday, which bodes well for the young quarterback's chances of sustaining two fantasy-relevant wide receivers against the Dolphins in Week 2 and beyond.

Parker aggravated a left hamstring injury during Sunday's 21-11 loss at New England, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

In the two-plus weeks leading up to the Dolphins' season opener, Parker tended to the issue and was limited during the entirety of Week 1 prep. However, he entered Sunday's game with no injury designation. At the time of his departure early in the second half, he had four catches (on four targets) for a team-high 47 yards. While the team monitors Parker throughout the upcoming week, fellow wide receivers Preston Williams, Jakeem Grant and Isaiah Ford may have to fill in for him in the short term.

Thielen brought in six of eight targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 43-34 loss to the Packers on Sunday. He also caught a two-point conversion pass.

On a day when quarterback Kirk Cousins struggled to get into rhythm for much of the contest, Thielen accounted for both of the signal-caller's scoring tosses and a sizable chunk of his 259 passing yards. Both of Thielen's touchdown catches came in the fourth quarter with the Vikings trailing by double digits, the first a 37-yard reception with 13:53 remaining and the second a 19-yard grab at the 1:21 mark to make the final score closer than it appeared. Thielen will look to put up comparable numbers under better team circumstances when the Vikings face off with the Colts in a Week 2 interconference showdown next Sunday.

Lockett caught all eight of his targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

Lockett's connection with Russell Wilson seemed to get stronger this offseason as Wilson connected with the speedy receiver on every pass thrown his way. While it was DK Metcalf who found the end zone in this contest, both studs saw eight targets and were instrumental in helping Wilson reach historic efficiency -- his 88.6 completion percentage was the third-highest mark in NFL history among anyone throwing at least 35 passes in a game. The big plays may start leaning toward the big-bodied Metcalf, but Lockett won't fade away in this offense regardless. The duo will face a tougher test in Week 2 when the Patriots come to town.

Metcalf caught four of eight targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

Metcalf and Tyler Lockett both garnered eight targets in this matchup, but Metcalf made the most of them, leading the team in receiving yards and finding the end zone on a 38-yard pass on the first drive of the second half. Sticking to his field-stretching form, he caught a 37-yard deep pass late in the fourth quarter, setting up a Carlos Hyde touchdown that sealed the win for Seattle. Metcalf showed off his route running and speed yet again, and it appears he and Lockett will be in a 1A-1B situation this year. They'll be tested more in Week 2 when they host the Patriots, though.

Adams secured 14 of 17 targets for 156 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 43-34 win over the Vikings on Sunday.

Adams and Aaron Rodgers had their prolific connection in midseason form right from the jump, with the veteran wideout putting up game-high reception, receiving yardage, target and receiving touchdown totals. Adams' first score came on a nifty 24-yard grab near the right sideline of the end zone late in the first half, and he added a one-yard scoring catch late in the third quarter. The 27-year-old may have a difficult time topping Sunday's performance this season, but he'll have a good matchup with which to put together a strong encore effort when he and the Packers face the Lions in a Week 2 home divisional matchup next Sunday.

Robinson caught five of nine targets for 74 yards in the Bears' 27-23 win over Detroit on Sunday.

Robinson had to deal with a number of erratic passes, but as usual, he hauled in a number of contested catches to post a solid fantasy performance. He was also targeted in the end zone, but the ball was slightly overthrown. With a solid weekly scoring floor along with a consistently high target share, Robinson should continue to be a top-12 receiver in weekly lineups.

Beckham secured three of 10 targets for 32 yards in the Browns' 38-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Despite comfortably pacing either club in looks, Beckham produced a disappointing performance to kick off his second Browns campaign. The multi-time Pro Bowler is reportedly free of the assortment of injuries that limited him last season, but in terms of his first opportunity to corroborate his return to full health, Beckham produced a dud that was reminiscent of some of his underwhelming 2019 showings. The amount of attention he drew from quarterback Baker Mayfield was a good sign, however, and the veteran wideout will look to quickly atone in a Week 2 Thursday night home matchup against the Bengals.
