Beasley caught five of nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Jets.

Beasley played a familiar role with his new team, freeing himself up near the line of scrimmage while gaining no more than 10 yards on any reception. The former Cowboys slot receiver should serve as a safety valve for second-year quarterback Josh Allen, but there may not be enough volume in Buffalo's passing game for Beasley to do much more than he did in this one on a week-to-week basis. He'll face a familiar foe in Week 2, when the Bills stay downstate to take on the Giants.

Conley caught six of seven targets for 97 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-26 loss to Kansas City.

In his first game in a Jaguars uniform, Conley led the team in catches and targets, delivering a big 21-yard catch on a Nick Foles pass to convert a third and long early in the game and finishing up with a garbage-time touchdown from undrafted rookie Gardner Minshew. Whatever fantasy value Jacksonville's pass offense had to start the season has obviously taken a hit since Nick Foles went down with a broken clavicle. Minshew played well against a Chiefs pass defense that was weak in 2018 -- and Houston shouldn't be much tougher in Week 2 -- but tougher matchups against teams like Tennessee and Carolina loom.

Anderson (calf) caught three of seven targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills.

Whether he was limited by a lingering calf injury or simply ineffective, Anderson failed to make much of an impact. The speedy wide receiver relies on chunk gains downfield, making him a volatile fantasy entity prone to massive highs and unimpressive lows. This was certainly a valley, but Anderson will hope to rebound with a peak in Week 2 against the Browns.

Crowder caught 14 of 17 targets for 99 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 17-16 loss to Buffalo.

Crowder was the only Jets receiver able to get going in this one, accounting for half of quarterback Sam Darnold's completions and more than half of Darnold's yards. The shifty slot receiver has emerged as a major part of his new team's offense heading into a Week 2 showdown with the Browns.

Brown hauled in three of four targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 43-13 win over the Browns.

Brown showed off his big-play ability in his NFL debut, hauling in a 51-yard catch and leading the team in receiving yards. Tennessee's offense is still centered around running back Derrick Henry and tight end Delanie Walker -- each of whom scored two touchdowns -- but the second-round pick out of Ole Miss seems to have carved out a role as a field stretcher ahead of his team's Week 2 clash with the Colts.

Robinson's teammate, Tyreek Hill, is in line to miss a few weeks, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Robinson's lone catch (on two targets) in Week 1 did not result in any yards, but news that Hill will be forced to miss some time will presumably lead to added opportunities for Robinson, as well as rookie Mecole Hardman. While Hardman looks like the upside play here, he's less likely to be available on the waiver wire than Robinson, who caught 22 passes for 288 yards and four TDs while working behind Hill, Sammy Watkins and Chris Conley last season. Robinson could therefore be worth a speculative pickup in deeper fantasy formats.

Diggs hauled in both of his targets for 37 yards in Week 1 against Atlanta.

Diggs was productive when given a chance, as evidenced by a 31-yard reception late in third quarter. However, he -- along with the entire Vikings pass-catching corps-- was greatly limited as the team recorded only 10 pass attempts for the entire game. On a positive note, Diggs didn't appear bothered by the hamstring injury that caused him to be listed as questionable throughout the week, an encouraging takeaway from an otherwise disappointing performance. There's a strong possibility the Vikings will be forced to throw the ball more in Week 2 at Green Bay, giving Diggs more of a chance for target volume.

Chark caught all four of his targets for 146 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-26 loss to Kansas City.

Chark looked looked like a new receiver Sunday, picking up just 28 fewer yards than he had his entire rookie season. He started off hot, bringing down a 35-yard rainbow from Nick Foles for a touchdown, a play in which Foles suffered a broken clavicle. The insertion of Gardner Minshew under center didn't slow Chark down much, as he snagged passes of 69 and 35 yards from the undrafted rookie. Foles is set to miss some time, assuming he comes back at all this season, and so Chark's relationship with Minshew will be important. Though listed as the No. 4 receiver, Minshew -- as the backup -- likely threw to Chark more than some of Jacksonville's more established targets this offseason.

Hardman's teammate, Tyreek Hill, is in line to miss a few weeks, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Hardman did not record a catch in Week 1, but news that Hill will miss some time likely foreshadows Hardman -- who the Chiefs selected 56th overall this past April -- seeing added snaps/touches in the team's offense. Considering that he'll be catching passes from Patrick Mahomes, Hardman now looks like a player who could carry some fantasy utility in the coming weeks.

Though Hill won't require surgery on the collarbone/shoulder injury he suffered Sunday, he "will miss a few weeks," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Given that Hill was sent to the hospital after sustaining a nasty sounding sternoclavicular joint injury, this news does not come as a big surprise. The Chiefs will no doubt miss Hill's explosive playmaking ability, with his absence slated to present added opportunities for Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson.
