Bourne caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Buccaneers.

Bourne joined three of the other four wideouts who were active for San Francisco to only record one catch. It was a disappointing game for the 49ers' offense as a whole, so its tough to really extract any sort of concrete information regarding the receiving corps. If Trent Taylor (thumb) and Jalen Hurd (back) are forced to miss next week's contest against the Bengals, then expect Bourne to be mixed into the rotation again, but not enough to warrant consideration in standard formats.

Dorsett caught all four of his targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-3 rout of the Steelers.

Injuries opened up an opportunity for Dorsett and he took advantage of said opportunity in spades. It is worth noting that the speedy wideout only garnered four total targets, teaming up with Josh Gordon as Tom Brady's deep shot specialists while Julian Edelman and James White served as the more-frequent underneath options. Even with this monster performance, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dorsett's role actually reduce next Sunday against the Dolphins if free agent acquisition, Antonio Brown, is a full go.

Johnson caught three passes for 25 yards in Pittsburgh's 33-3 loss to New England on Sunday.

Despite completing just 57 percent of his passes Ben Roethlisberger spread the ball around, connecting with eight different players. Johnson was targeted five times - the fewest among the five wide receivers with a reception - but still outperformed Donte Moncrief, who caught three of 10 targets for seven yards. Johnson has work to do but showed flashes to remind everyone why the Steelers picked him in the third round of the draft.

Kirk caught four of 12 targets for 32 yards while adding 12 yards on his lone rushing attempt during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Lions. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Kirk struggled to generate any plays downfield -- his longest catch went for 10 yards -- and he averaged just 8.0 yards per reception. Meanwhile, the likes of Larry Fitzgerald, KeeSean Johnson and Damiere Byrd finished ahead of him in receiving yardage, with David Johnson doing his usual damage as a pass catcher. Kirk did make one vital contribution, though, catching the two-point conversion that ultimately salvaged a draw for his team. Kirk will look to get on the same page as Kyler Murray sooner rather than later, but next Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens will be a tough test.

Humphries hauled in his lone target for five yards in the team's Week 1 contest against the Browns.

Humphries was expected to fill a volume role out of the slot upon signing with the Titans, but was quiet in his first regular-season game with the team. Particularly, he was overshadowed by rookie receiver A.J. Brown as well as veteran Delanie Walker. While his projected role on the team may need to be reconsidered, it should also increase when the team is forced to throw the ball in more competitive contests. His targets will remain worth monitoring in Week 2 against the Colts.

Boyd caught eight of 11 targets for 60 yards and added a three-yard rush during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks.

Boyd received some extra attention from the Seattle defense after Joe Mixon (ankle) left the game, limiting him mostly to short catches. Although he led the team in receptions, he wasn't close to leading it in receiving yardage as he averaged 7.5 yards per grab. Still, it was a positive sign that he was peppered with targets and Andy Dalton's huge performance bodes well for his fantasy value. Boyd should be busy once again in next Sunday's home matchup with the 49ers.

Davis did not record a reception on three targets in the team's Week 1 victory over the Browns.

Davis was overshadowed by both Delanie Walker and rookie receiver A.J. Brown in the team's season-opening contest. Perhaps most troubling for Davis was his lack of targets -- he finished fourth in the team -- as compared to the 2018 season when he finished with a 26.4 percent target share. However, the Titans improved their pass-catching depth through free agency, the draft and players returning from injury, which could spell trouble for Davis in terms of volume throughout the season. He'll look to get more involved in the team's Week 2 contest against the Colts.

Smith-Schuster suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Patriots but is expected be ready for Week 2, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

After further testing, it was discovered that Smith-Schuster rolled up on his toe during the team's final drive of Sunday's 30-point loss to the Patriots. Fortunately for him and the Steelers, it doesn't look like it is anything too serious. The club expects him to be on the field for next weekend's matchup with the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster hauled in six of his eight targets Sunday night for a team-high 78 yards in what ended up being a dismal overall performance for Pittsburgh's offense. His status is worth monitoring throughout the week, but expect the team's top pass-catcher to be a full go for the home opener.

Smith-Schuster suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's blowout loss to the Patriots, but the injury doesn't appear to be too serious, Dale Lolley of DKSportsPittsburgh.com reports.

Smith-Schuster tweaked his ankle during a meaningless play in the waning minutes of the 33-3 blowout loss. Luckily for his fantasy owners, it sounds like the star wideout avoided serious injury. Smith-Schuster paced the Steelers in receptions (six) and receiving yards (78), which was to be expected following the dramatic departure of Antonio Brown this past offseason. The 22-year-old's next matchup comes against the Seahawks next Sunday, whose secondary was just burned by Andy Dalton and the Bengals for 400-plus passing yards. Expect the team to clarify the status of the wideout's ankle in the coming days.

Cain had two receptions for 35 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

The Colts entered the game with uncertainty at the third receiver role, and Cain had the most targets among wide receivers after T.Y. Hilton and Devin Funchess. With Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reporting that Funchess suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's game, Cain could become Indy's No. 2 wide receiver next week.
