Giants coach Brian Daboll said that Nabers (back) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Nabers' practice reps simply seem to be being managed, as he was limited in practice last Friday before being fully cleared to suit up for New York's 21-6 loss to the Commanders, in which he secured five of 12 targets for 71 yards. There's not yet any reason to believe that Nabers' status for Week 2 against the Cowboys on Sunday is truly in any jeopardy. The state of the Giants' passing game is a larger concern for Nabers, as Russell Wilson managed just 168 passing yards on 37 attempts Week 1. Nabers' playmaking ability and target volume will assist in keeping his fantasy value stable, but while Wilson has been confirmed as the starter again Week 2, if this offense doesn't improve quickly, a shift under center to rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart may happen sooner than later.

Gipson was waived by the Jets on Wednesday.

Gipson was expected to be dropped by the Jets on Wednesday as reported by Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and the move has now been made official. Over 35 career games with the Jets, Gipson caught 27 of his 48 targets for 268 yards and one touchdown. Additionally, he tallied 1,142 kick-return yards and 604 punt-return yards, though he also fumbled 10 times. The 24-year-old could draw interest from teams seeking help in the return game.

The Jets are expected to waive Gipson on Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The undrafted wideout from Stephen F. Austin has served as one of the Jets' top return men since entering the league in 2023. However, his costly fumble while filling in for Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) on a kickoff return in New York's opening week loss to the Steelers likely prompted the team to move in another direction. With Gipson set to be waived, Isaiah Davis is expected to take over as the Jets' top punt returner.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said that Mooney (shoulder) is slated to practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Mooney sat out Week 1 after logging a trio of limited practices leading up to Atlanta's narrow 23-20 season-opening loss to the Buccaneers. He seems likely to be limited again Wednesday, with his Week 2 status potentially resting on an ability to upgrade to 'full' practice reps Thursday or Friday. With Drake London (shoulder) having been forced out early Week 1 and now up-in-the-air for Sunday night's road game against the Vikings, Mooney's status will be increasingly pivotal to Michael Penix and Atlanta's aerial attack.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that London (shoulder) will participate in practice and is expected to suit up Sunday night versus the Vikings, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Morris said, "I do expect [London] to play," but he cautioned, "That's not saying he is." Atlanta will wait to make a decision on London's status for Week 2 until the coaching staff has been able to evaluate him throughout a full series of practices, but Morris' optimism at least confirms that the star wideout has avoided a severe injury. London brought in eight of 15 targets for 55 yards during the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 1. Fellow starting wideout Darnell Mooney (shoulder), who was unavailable against Tampa Bay, is also practicing Wednesday.

Moore caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

Moore was not a significant part of the Bills' offensive game plan in Week 1. The veteran played just 12 offensive snaps in the contest, the fewest of any wideout who saw action Sunday. Currently sitting at fourth on the wide receiver depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, Moore faces an uphill battle for playing time this season. The 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

Palmer caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

Palmer played a solid 62 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday while operating as Buffalo's No. 3 wide receiver behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir, who finished with snap percentages of 88 and 75 percent, respectively. Additionally, the veteran wideout's nine targets were tied for the second-highest total among all Bills pass catchers. Though he may be an inconsistent producer based on his role in an offense flush with playmakers, Palmer proved that he is a trusted target of Josh Allen in his regular season debut with Buffalo. Palmer will look to build upon his performance when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2.

Lane caught one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

Lane operated as the No. 4 wide receiver in the Commanders' offense, but it was encouraging to see him targeted twice while he played 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The rookie wideout will continue to develop as the season progresses, but he'll likely face an uphill battle for steady usage in an offense that is flush with playmakers. Lane will have his next opportunity to take a step forward in Week 2 when the Commanders visit the Packers.

McCaffrey failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

McCaffrey was unable to take a step forward in the first game of his second season, as the 24-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and was on the field for just five of the Commanders' 70 offensive snaps. Buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown and Jaylin Lane, McCaffrey will not see enough usage in Washington's offense to make a fantasy impact on a consistent basis. Nonetheless, the Rice product will have his next chance to be more involved when the Commanders visit the Packers in Week 2.

Iosivas was not targeted in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

Iosivas operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, playing 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's top duo at wideout, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, saw snap shares of 87 and 79 percent, respectively. With plenty of mouths to feed on offense in Chase, Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant and Mike Gesicki, Iosivas will be extremely difficult to trust for anything close to consistent fantasy production. Iosivas should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals host the Jaguars in Week 2.
