Allgeier rushed 17 times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Allgeier lived up to his No. 1 slotting on the Week 1 depth chart, outpacing Jeremiyah Love by six carries and matching the rookie's reception total, albeit on two fewer targets. Allgeier did scuffle for rushing yards all afternoon long, but the veteran back helped keep the Chargers defense honest and proved capable of leading the ground attack. Love should be in line for a progressive boost in volume as the season unfolds, and there's no doubt as to which player between him and Allgeier has the higher ceiling; nevertheless, the latter should continue to see plenty of opportunity during a Week 2 home divisional clash with the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Robinson finished Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Jets with five catches for 38 yards.

Tennessee's offense struggled as a whole Sunday, and the addition of Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate to the wideout corps didn't do much to improve QB Cam Ward's performance following a disappointing rookie season. Robinson and Tate both turned six targets into 38 yards, with Robinson logging five catches to Tate's four. As has been the case throughout Robinson's career, he was deployed mostly in short yardage, averaging a meager 7.6 yards per catch. Robinson blossomed with the Giants last year for a career-best 1,014 receiving yards on 92 catches, but he may struggle to reach those marks in 2026 if Ward doesn't show considerable improvement.

Schultz caught four of eight targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Schultz's eight targets were second on the team to Nico Collins' 10 on 38 pass attempts by C.J. Stroud. Schultz doesn't offer much big-play ability at 30 years old, but he's a reliable target in the middle of the field and saw his floor raise when Jayden Higgins went down with a season-ending torn ACL over the summer. The veteran tight end will be a borderline TE1/2 next Sunday against the Bengals.

Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Waller secured both of his targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 59-37 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Waller actually had a one-yard touchdown called back on a penalty on the Panthers' opening drive. Carolina used all three of Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Waller pretty heavily against Chicago, and both Tremble and Waller each ran 18 routes. Waller isn't going to be a full-time player, but it's clear he's going to be featured in the scoring area. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet most weeks and gets a road date with the Falcons next Sunday.

Mitchell rushed four times for nine yards in a Week 1 loss to Arizona on Sunday. He added 47 yards on two kickoff returns.

Mitchell had a long rush of eight yards but combined for just three yards on his other three carries. While he also contributed in the return game, it was a bland Chargers debut for the 24-year-old, who joined Los Angeles as a free agent in March. The Chargers' run game as a whole was largely stifled Sunday, as Omarion Hampton -- the only other RB on the team to log a carry -- finished with a mediocre 43 yards on 12 carries, though he did score a touchdown. Mitchell will look to make more of an impression in Week 2 versus Las Vegas next Sunday.

Herbert completed 17 of 27 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception while adding five rushes for 29 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Herbert's final line was about as unremarkable as his performance in the shocking season-opening loss, one where the 2020 first-round pick was sacked three times in addition to his one interception. He had a particularly difficult second half outside of his eight-yard touchdown pass to Ladd McConkey (chest), as Los Angeles' six other possessions after halftime ended in either a punt, a blocked punt or the aforementioned interception, which came at the Cardinals' 5-yard line. The loss of McConkey to his injury in the third quarter certainly didn't help Herbert's cause, and he and his healthy teammates will look to atone for an alarming upset defeat when they face off with the division rival Raiders in next Sunday's home matchup.

Strange caught two of three targets for 23 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 34-10 victory versus Cleveland.

Strange had a relatively quiet day in terms of targets and yardage, but he finished with a fine fantasy total on the strength of a 14-yard connection with Trevor Lawrence in the second quarter. Strange seems to have carried over the red-zone chemistry with Lawrence that developed late last year, when all three of his scores came over the Jaguars' final six regular-season games. The 2023 second-round draft pick logged a career-best 540 receiving yards last season and is positioned to be Jacksonville's top tight end again in 2026.

Davis rushed one time for three yards in Buffalo's 36-31 win over the Texans on Sunday.

Frank Gore actually out-snapped Davis 10-5 behind James Cook, as both Davis and Gore rushed one time for three yards. If something were to ever happen to Cook, it looks like Gore could actually have a bigger role than expected, making Davis a shakier bench stash in fantasy.

Tucker caught two of four targets for 27 yards in a 27-13 win against Miami on Sunday.

Tucker had a relatively quiet performance, though that was the case for the Raiders' wideout corps as a whole, as no WR exceeded Tucker's 27 receiving yards. Instead, RB Ashton Jeanty (6-45-2 receiving line) and TE Michael Mayer (6-32-0) featured as Las Vegas' top pass catchers, while the offense ran primarily on the ground through Jeanty (23-102-0 rushing line) and Mike Washington Jr. (7-41-0). The Raiders don't figure to play ahead as often this season as they did Sunday, so the team may need its wideouts more often moving forward, though star tight end Brock Bowers (knee) could return to action as soon as next week and eventually figures to command the greatest share of QB Kirk Cousins' attention. Las Vegas seems likely to face a tougher challenge in Week 2 against the Chargers.
