Wicks caught two of four targets for 73 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 24-22 Week 1 victory against Washington.

Wicks didn't log a particularly high volume of targets, but he nonetheless put up a nice fantasy score thanks to a 64-yard connection with Jalen Hurts late in the first quarter and a nine-yard TD catch in the second. Hurts spread the ball around pretty evenly, hooking up with six different pass catchers, none of whom logged more than four receptions. It could play into Wicks' favor if the Eagles' new offense encourages Hurts to spread the ball around, though all of DeVonta Smith, Makai Lemon and tight end Dallas Goedert figure to need to be fed in addition to Wicks.

Concepcion caught four of his five targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jaguars.

While Concepcion paced the team with his five targets, he ran just 20 routes on Deshaun Watson's 30 dropbacks, good for fourth on the Browns behind Denzel Boston (30), Jerry Jeudy (25) and Harold Fannin (24). It's going to be very difficult for this lackluster Cleveland offense to support any pass catchers as every-week fantasy starters. Concepcion will be a WR4/5 for next Sunday's road date with the Bucs.

Mason rushed 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers.

Mason had three more carries than Aaron Jones, and neither of Minnesota's top two running backs recorded a catch. Jones and Mason each had a short touchdown run as the Vikings compiled 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points, with Mason's coming on a one-yard run with 4:48 to play. Mason set a career high with six rushing touchdowns during the 2025 regular season while rushing for 758 yards in his first year with the Vikings following a three-year stint in San Francisco. Jones and Mason are expected to split carries again in Week 2 at Chicago.

Diggs brought in four of nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Diggs' nine targets were more than double the amount of any other Washington player. While the veteran wideout wasn't very efficient with those targets, he finished second on the team in receiving yards and put up a strong fantasy score thanks to a 10-yard TD connection with Jayden Daniels in the fourth quarter. Fantasy managers who roster Diggs should be encouraged by the amount of attention he got from Daniels in the pair's first regular-season action together, while presumed top WR Terry McLaurin totaled just two catches on four targets. McLaurin figures to be more involved most weeks, but Diggs showed Sunday that he can still be a viable fantasy wideout with his new club.

Wentz completed 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns after replacing Kyler Murray (concussion) in the first quarter of Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers. Wentz also rushed five times for minus-1 yard and threw a successful two-point conversion.

Wentz was ready to play after Murray's first-quarter exit, and the veteran backup orchestrated an impressive comeback, during which the Vikings scored 22 unanswered fourth-quarter points. Wentz connected with Justin Jefferson for a 39-yard touchdown in the second quarter and a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth, sandwiched around a 16-yard touchdown pass to T.J. Hockenson in the third quarter. If Murray doesn't clear concussion protocol in time to face the Bears on the road in Week 2, Wentz would presumably be tabbed for the start over J.J. McCarthy.

Lloyd rushed 13 times for 37 yards and didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Lloyd worked ahead of Chris Brooks (seven carries for 29 yards) in a Packers backfield that struggled to generate much in the absence of Josh Jacobs (personal), who is on the Commissioner's Exempt List. Jordan Love threw 42 passes compared to 20 combined carries for Lloyd and Brooks, even though Green Bay led for most of the game prior to being outscored 22-0 in the fourth quarter. Lloyd looks poised to handle double-digit touches again in Week 2 against the Jets.

Jeanty rushed 23 times for 102 yards and secured all six targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Jeanty shook off the ankle injury that had plagued him for weeks leading into Week 1 by handling a voluminous workload with impressive efficacy. He set the pace for the Raiders in both rushing and receiving yards on the afternoon, and he shared the team lead in receptions as well. The 2025 first-round pick's pair of receiving scores were each from 13 yards out and transpired in the second and third quarters. With his health apparently no longer in question and Las Vegas' offense looking crisp in its first game under head coach Klint Kubiak's scheme, Jeanty's prospects are bright heading into a Week 2 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Love completed 21 of 42 passes for 387 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed once for no gain and fumbled twice, losing one.

Love started hot, connecting with Christian Watson for an 81-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a two-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Green Bay's offense sputtered in the second half, and both of Love's turnovers came in the fourth quarter, during which the Vikings outscored the Packers, 22-0. Love finished with the second-highest passing yards total of his career, trailing only his 389-yard performance in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings in 2024, and he exceeded 42 pass attempts only once in 15 regular-season starts last season. Green Bay may continue to rely heavily on Love's arm as long as Josh Jacobs (personal) is on the Commissioner's Exempt List, which may remain the case Week 2 against the Jets.

Kraft caught three of six targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Kraft avoided the Week 1 injury report in his return from a torn ACL suffered Week 9 of last season. He finished third on the team in receiving yards in his return, behind wide receivers Christian Watson (147 yards) and Matthew Golden (95 yards). Kraft is poised to maintain a prominent role Week 2 against the Jets.

Pittman caught all three of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.

While Pittman was sixth on the team with three targets, seeing just a 7.5 percent target share on Aaron Rodgers' 40 throws, the newest Steelers wideout paced the team with his 58 yards. Rodgers dropped back to pass 42 times against Atlanta, and Pittman's 39 routes were second on the team behind DK Metcalf's 42. Pittman's ability closer to the line of scrimmage as a possession wideout aligns better with Rodgers, who likes to work the ball out quickly. Pittman will have a tough date with the Patriots next Sunday.
