Snead brought in two of three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 59-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Snead entered the season as the Ravens' top receiver on the depth chart, but as was demonstrated Sunday, rookie Marquise Brown could make that designation obsolete in short order. However, Snead did make his fantasy mark in Sunday's deconstruction of the Dolphins with a 33-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter, and he could well thrive against plenty of single coverage in many games this season if Brown continues to prove as big a threat as he was Sunday. Snead will look to build on his solid start to the season when the Ravens take on the Cardinals in Week 2.

Parker brought in three of seven targets for 75 yards in the Dolphins' 59-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Parker's numbers were a modest bright spot on a thoroughly dismal afternoon for the Dolphins. The 2015 first-round pick was a somewhat surprising holdover from the prior regime in an offseason and summer flush with personnel changes for Miami, and he showed off his leaping ability and body control on a couple of his receptions. Despite the occasional flashes he's shown throughout his career, Parker has proven to be nothing if not consistently inconsistent over his first four seasons, making his week-to-week fantasy production especially hard to trust on a team that figures to have spotty quarterback play all season.

Hill -- who was transported to the hospital after suffering a shoulder injury Sunday -- is being treated to "reduce the dislocation or the injury," Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

That info comes via Chiefs head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder, who described Hill's issue as "a sternoclavicular joint injury." The team didn't provide an update or timetable beyond that, but this has the sound of an injury that could cost Hill some time. If that's the case, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson would be in line to see added opportunities in the Chiefs offense alongside Sammy Watkins.

Thielen caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Atlanta.

Thielen scored the Vikings' first touchdown of the regular season, hauling in a 23-yard score in the first quarter. He wasn't officially targeted again until after halftime, when he caught two more passes of 12 and eight yards. The Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead, which limited Kirk Cousins to just 10 pass attempts, so Thielen's three targets were not an indication that he was surpassed by other receivers on the team. The Vikings will play at Lambeau Field in Week 2, a contest that could lead to a boost in Thielen's involvement due to it likely being a much more competitive game.

Beckham caught seven of 11 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Titans.

Beckham led his new team in targets, catches and receiving yards, but the entire Browns offense looked underwhelming after receiving nonstop offseason hype. Quarterback Baker Mayfield in particular underperformed, throwing a trio of fourth-quarter interceptions. While Beckham's volume in this one despite multiple other notable mouths to feed was encouraging, he'll need Mayfield to step things up in Week 2 against the Jets and beyond if the former Giants receiver is going to live up to his lofty ADP.

Per BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site, Hill suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars that led to the wideout going "to a local hospital to get it treated by their trauma department."

The report doesn't provide any specifics beyond that or a timetable for Hill's return, but this sounds like something that could cost him some time. In such a scenario, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson would figure to see added opportunities in the Kansas City offense alongside Sammy Watkins.

Brown brought in four of five targets for 147 yards and two touchdowns in the Ravens' 59-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Brown had carried a questionable tag due to his recovering foot, but the rookie wasted no time eliminating any doubt about his health by shaking loose for a 47-yard touchdown grab just 6:23 into the contest. He one-upped himself a little over four minutes later, eviscerating the Dolphins' secondary with the aid of a beautiful throw from Lamar Jackson for an 83-yard score. With another pair of grabs on the afternoon, Brown made it a stellar all-around debut, one he'll look to follow up on successfully against the Cardinals in a Week 2 home matchup.

Gage (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game versus the Vikings, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

Gage took a hard hit to the head in the first half and he didn't return after halftime. His day is done, and this leaves the Falcons with four healthy receivers, and Justin Hardy will bump up to No. 4 on the depth chart. Gage will need to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can play again.

Miller (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 tilt against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Miller was able to snag a spot on the final roster after overcoming a hamstring injury during the early portion of preseason, but he's likely going to be a gameday inactive frequently early in his career. The rookie would not factor prominently into the Buccaneers passing game even if he were active, with Tampa's receiving corps as presently constituted having multiple superior options ahead of him.

Crabtree (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Lions, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Although Crabtree joined the Cardinals late in the preseason, he opened the season as the No. 3 WR on the team's unofficial depth chart. With such a listing, he was expected to be a starting wide receiver in Kliff Kingsbury's pro version of the Air Raid, but apparently he doesn't deem the veteran ready for Week 1. With Crabtree out of the lineup, Kyler Murray will target wideouts Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Trent Sherfield, KeeSean Johnson, Damiere Byrd and Andy Isabella.
