Noah Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Noah Brown: Limited on practice estimate
The Commanders listed Brown (knee) as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Washington is facing a quick turnaround after Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants, so the team is unlikely to do much on-field work ahead of a Thursday night matchup against the Packers. Brown has been estimated as a limited participant on the Commanders' first two reports of the week, but he still stands a good chance of playing. In the Commanders' season-opening win, Brown started and played 33 of the team's 70 snaps on offense en route to a 2-27-0 receiving line on three targets.

Dontayvion Wicks WR | PHI
Packers' Dontayvion Wicks: Limited again Tuesday
Wicks (calf) was a limited participant during Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Though Green Bay listed Wicks as a limited participant on its second straight practice report, head coach Matt LaFleur hasn't indicated that the third-year receiver is in any real danger of sitting out Thursday's game against the Commanders. Wicks saw modest involvement as part of a deep rotation of pass catchers in Sunday's season-opening 27-13 win over the Lions, playing 21 snaps on offense on his way to a 2-30-0 line on two targets.

Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Reps capped in walk-through
Reed (foot) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.
After being gauged as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate, Reed increased his activity enough to garner a limited listing. His practice reps will likely be restricted over the next few weeks while he works his way back from a Jones fracture sustained early in training camp, but he should continue to suit up on game days. Green Bay is facing a quick turnaround for Week 2 with a Thursday night matchup against the Commanders, so the team could look to manage Reed's snap count after he took the field for just 18 plays on offense in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Lions. The third-year wideout made an impact during his time on the field, producing a 3-45-1 receiving line on five targets while also gaining 21 yards on two punt returns.

Matthew Golden WR | GB
Packers' Matthew Golden: Upgrades to full activity
The Packers listed Golden (ankle) as a full participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Golden was estimated as a limited participant Monday though the Packers didn't practice, and the rookie was apparently able to do enough Tuesday to receive an upgraded listing. The 22-year-old wideout looks like he'll be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Commanders after a muted NFL debut against the Lions in which he was held to two catches for 16 yards on two targets.

Jauan Jennings WR | MIN
49ers' Jauan Jennings: Injury considered minor
Jennings appears to have avoided a serious injury to his left shoulder after he underwent an MRI on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though the 49ers have yet to provide an updated diagnosis on the injury that knocked Jennings out in the fourth quarter Sunday, the 28-year-old wideout looks to have steered clear of a significant setback. Jennings had previously missed time during training camp due to a calf issue and also expressed dissatisfaction with his contract situation, but the latter matter was resolved last week with an additional $3 million in incentives, and he was able to practice leading up to the season opener. His practice availability during the upcoming week could be affected by the shoulder issue, and his status for Sunday's game in New Orleans remains unclear.

Tylan Wallace WR | CLE
Ravens' Tylan Wallace: No targets Sunday
Wallace was not targeted on 16 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
The veteran was on the field for roughly one-third of the Ravens' snaps on Sunday. Wallace did not see a target, but it's also worth noting that the Ravens only threw 19 passes. Though Wallace nearly matched DeAndre Hopkins' 18 snaps, Hopkins seems to be more involved in the target rotation, while Wallace may be most useful as a run-blocker on the boundary.

Jack Bech WR | LV
Raiders' Jack Bech: Confirmed as early WR4 in Las Vegas
Bech caught his only target for 23 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.
Bech logged only four offensive snaps behind fellow receivers Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker and Dont'e Thornton, but the 2025 second-round TCU product did catch a 23-yard pass on the Raiders' second drive of the contest to get into the box score early. Although Bech looks to be confirmed as the team's WR4 to begin his career, additional snaps could become available against the Chargers in Week 2 if tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is unable to play.
-
Dont'e Thornton Jr. WR | LV
Raiders' Dont'e Thornton: Four targets in debut
Thornton caught two of four targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots.
As expected, Thornton played ahead of fellow rookie Jack Bech in the WR3 role behind Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, with Thornton even producing a timely 36-yard reception when the Raiders were facing a crucial third-and-20 from their own 25-yard line late in the fourth quarter. Thornton ultimately played 38 of a possible 63 offensive snaps in his NFL debut, but his involvement could increase against the Chargers in Week 2 if All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is sidelined.
-
Tre Tucker WR | LV
Raiders' Tre Tucker: Catches TD pass in season opener
Tucker caught two of three targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Patriots. He also returned one punt for 13 yards.
Tucker was one of four Raiders to average more than 20.0 yards per reception during quarterback Geno Smith's first game with Las Vegas on Sunday, and Tucker's performance was highlighted by a 26-yard touchdown catch on the opening possession. Working as the WR2 behind Jakobi Meyers with Amari Cooper electing to retire just before the start of the season, Tucker ultimately played 57 of a possible 63 offensive snaps. Additional targets could be up for grabs if tight end Brock Bowers (knee) were to miss any time.

Ryan Miller WR | NYG
Buccaneers' Ryan Miller: No catches over nine snaps
Miller failed to bring in his only target in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
The reserve wideout logged just nine snaps, placing him ahead of only Tez Johnson (eight snaps) and Kameron Johnson (one snaps) in terms of the Bucs' wide receivers. Miller has sure hands and has proven a savvy route runner in the past, but he'd need multiple injuries in front of him to garner any fantasy relevance.
