Lacy logged three snaps on offense compared to 21 on special teams during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.

Lacy was almost exclusively utilized on special teams in this one, but that should be expected when Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola are all healthy enough to play. However, considering quarterback Matthew Stafford aired it out for 385 passing yards (most since 2017) during his first game under a new offensive coordinator, there's a reason to be optimistic about Lacy in deeper leagues should he ever be forced into significant playing time on offense.

Grant brought in one of three targets for a loss of three yards during Sunday's 59-10 loss to the Ravens.

Grant was listed as one of Miami's starting receivers Week 1 but was ultimately overshadowed by undrafted rookie Preston Williams, who caught three passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. While Grant is guaranteed to retain his role as a gadget player and kick returner, it wouldn't be surprising if Williams were to usurp him as the No. 3 receiver in Miami in the near future.

Wilson returned one punt for no gain in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Wilson logged six snaps from scrimmage and added 13 on special teams, and he notably worked as the No. 4 receiver ahead of Justin Watson. While that didn't equate to any offensive stats in Week 1, the disjointed nature of Jameis Winston's performance could have had a part to play. Wilson's punt returner job will be his most consistent path to potential production from game to game for the time being, but based on the notable improvement he displayed as a receiver in training camp and preseason, he's likely to eventually get involved as a pass catcher as well.

Cole played 12 offensive snaps in Week 1's game versus the Chiefs, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Cole clearly has become an afterthought in this offense as he was out-snapped by Dede Westbrook (48), Chris Conley (44) and rookie D.J. Chark (41). All three of those players had at least four catches and a score, meaning Cole's opportunities are likely to stay scarce unless one of them falters. Expect him to play a depth role again in Week 2 versus the Texans.

Cooks caught just two of his six targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over Carolina.

He began his second season with the Rams by hauling in both his passes on the opening drive of the third quarter, and Cooks looked impressive and in sync with quarterback Jared Goff. Cooks then drew a pass interference penalty on a deep ball during Los Angeles' next drive. He played 71 of 77 offensive snaps and primarily was targeted downfield, so his disappointing stat line against the Panthers shouldn't overshadow his five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons entering 2019. It's important to note there are plenty of offensive playmakers for Goff to spread the ball around to, and this probably won't be the last underwhelming fantasy performance of the year from Cooks.

Reynolds failed to catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 30-27 win over Carolina. He was also on the field for just 25 of 77 offensive snaps.

As long as Reynolds is slotted as the No. 4 wide receiver on the depth chart, he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy splash. He's shown fleeting upside when injuries to Robert Woods in 2017 and Cooper Kupp in 2018 have provided him with a larger role in the offense, but the Texas A&M product also never fully capitalized on those opportunities.

Agholor caught two of his five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over Washington.

There wasn't much for Agholor to do with DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery hogging all the touchdowns and accounting for just shy of two-thirds of the team's passing yards on the day. Alas, such is the life of a No. 3 wide receiver, even in a loaded passing offense. Perhaps the good news here is that the 26-year-old played 60 snaps compared to 15 combined for Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, so Agholor's job doesn't seem to be in jeopardy just yet as the Eagles head to Atlanta for Week 2.

Coach Kyle Shanahan suggested health concerns contributed to the lack of playing time for Pettis in Sunday's 31-17 win over Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "[Pettis] just got cleared to come back on Monday, so he was a little behind the 8-ball on that," Shanahan said. "Hopefully he'll work off that and continue to earn some more time out there."

Pettis caught his lone target for a seven-yard gain on two snaps, and he didn't even get any playing time on special teams. It sounds like his preseason groin injury was a factor, though he was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday before the game. Shanahan was critical of Pettis throughout August, hinting at a lack of consistency in route running and intensity. On the other hand, Shanahan also stated his belief that Pettis "can be our best player". In the season opener, Deebo Samuel led 49ers wide receivers with 60 snaps, followed by Marquise Goodwin (50), Richie James (26), Kendrick Bourne (17) and Pettis (two). None of the bunch saw more than three targets, with tight end George Kittle accounting for 10 of the team's 27 pass attempts.

Samuel caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Rams.

Samuel played over 90 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, which is an encouraging sign despite him placing fourth on the team in targets. As the starter opposite D.J. Moore at receiver, his involvement will hopefully result in more looks Thursday against the Buccaneers.

Cobb caught four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The former Packer was on the receiving end of Dak Prescott's last of four TD passes on the day, a 25-yard strike in the third quarter. Cobb was the clear No. 3 option for Prescott behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, but the offense's explosive performance left plenty of production for all three WRs. Cobb may not have many games this good in 2019, but he gets another seemingly solid matchup Week 2 against a Washington secondary that just allowed 313 yards and three TDs to Carson Wentz.
