Wilson caught seven of nine targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-32 loss to the Steelers.

Wilson put the Jets in front with a 33-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, and he came two yards from the end zone again on a 21-yard catch in the third, leading to a Justin Fields rushing score on the next play. He was the clear top option in the passing game, as Breece Hall was a distant second in both targets (four) and receiving yards (38), but Wilson will regret his inability to hold onto the ball on the Jets' final offensive play, as Jalen Ramsey dislodged the ball from his hands on fourth down, preventing what would have been a game-extending catch. With Wilson showing strong chemistry with Fields, the talented wide receiver should remain a strong fantasy option against the Bills in Week 2.

McLaurin caught two of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

Perhaps a lack of training camp reps due to an ankle injury and since-resolved contract dispute threw off McLaurin's timing in the season opener, though he also got off to a slow start last season, with just 39 yards through Week 2. McLaurin will try to avoid the same fate Thursday when the Commanders travel to Green Bay. He had a boom-or-bust season in 2024, with four multi-touchdown performances in the regular season, as well as five games with fewer than 30 receiving yards.

Nabers caught five of 12 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders.

Nabers caught only two of five first-half targets for 23 yards as Russell Wilson mustered only 58 passing yards in his first two quarters as the Giants' quarterback. Things didn't get much better for the Giants on offense in the second half, though the cream rose to the top with Nabers finishing as the team leader in targets and receiving yards. New York doesn't seem to have upgraded at the quarterback position with the switch from Daniel Jones to Wilson, but it may not be long until Nabers is catching passes from rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart if things don't pick up offensively. Wilson is likely to remain the starting quarterback in Week 2 at Dallas.

Hill brought in four of six targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

Hill finished as the co-leader in receptions and set the pace in receiving yards, but on a day when Tua Tagovailoa threw for only 114 yards, tossed two interceptions and took three sacks, those team-leading numbers weren't exactly noteworthy. The veteran speedster entered Week 1 with at least some mild questions surrounding his fantasy outlook; however, Hill appeared to maximize his opportunities in a negative game environment Sunday, and he could be in line for a boost in production in a Week 2 home matchup against a Patriots defense that gave up 362 passing yards to the Raiders' Geno Smith in Week 1.

Williams (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday against the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Williams has been battling a hamstring injury since mid-August, but after putting together a trio of three limited practices this week, the 2025 third-round pick will be available for his first NFL snap Sunday. Having said that, Green Bay's other wide receivers that were in the injury report -- Jayden Reed (foot) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) -- also are active, so Williams may be on the outside looking in for snaps in a corps that includes rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs and Malik Heath.

Wicks (calf) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Wicks was sidelined for the entire preseason due to a calf injury, but after getting back on the practice field as of Aug. 27, he logged limited sessions during Week 1 prep, leaving his status in question for Sunday. With his availability now confirmed, he'll be among the wide receivers at the services of QB Jordan Love along with Jayden Reed (foot), rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Savion Williams (hamstring) and Malik Heath.

Agnew is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 1 game against Tampa Bay due to a groin injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Agnew didn't play in any preseason games due to an oblique injury, and he's now dealing with a groin issue. He's a depth wideout for the Falcons, but his most prominent role is as a kick and punt returner. Ray-Ray McCloud, Mike Hughes and Natrone Brooks are candidates to work in the return game if Agnew can't return.

Reed (foot) is listed as active Sunday versus the Lions, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Reed is attempting to play through a Jones fracture in his left foot that capped him to just two limited practices during Week 1 prep and left him questionable for this contest. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Sunday that Reed was expected to play in the Packers' season opener, which has come to pass. With Reed available to Green Bay's offense, he'll join rookie first-round pick Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks (calf), Savion Williams (hamstring) and Malik Heath as the options at wide receiver for QB Jordan Love.

Watkins (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Watkins suffered a high-ankle sprain in the preseason. He was able to return to practice in a limited capacity this past week, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to suit up Sunday, and his next chance to play is Week 2 against the Saints. Russell Gage was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday and will provide rotational depth at wide receiver in the 49ers' regular-season opener.

Reed (foot) remains listed as questionable but is in line to suit up Sunday against the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Among Packers skill-position players, Reed's status for Week 1 was the biggest lingering concern for the team, but the wide receiver will play through the Jones fracture in his left foot that has bothered him for roughly one month. Confirmation of his availability for Sunday's game will come in about 90 minutes before the contest's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, when Green Bay will release its inactive list.
