Sadiq caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans. He added one rush for a three-yard touchdown.

Sadiq caught one more pass than current listed No. 1 tight end Mason Taylor, and his 31 yards dwarfed Taylor's negative two. The first-round rookie also showcased his versatility when he scored a three-yard rushing touchdown on an end-around early in the first quarter. Sadiq could eventually take over as the primary big-bodied option for the Jets now that he is fully healthy and has experienced the NFL regular season.

Kmet caught two of his three targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Kmet did not have a major role in Sunday's win through the air, mostly dominating as a run blocker for the Bears' 291 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. Despite being sent to trench warfare for most of the night, Kmet still found time to catch a touchdown early in the second quarter to preserve his dual-threat status around the league.

Metcalf secured four of 10 targets for 40 yards in the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Metcalf's target total led the Steelers by a fairly comfortable margin, but the talented receiver brought in less than half of them and finished behind both Michael Pittman and Pat Freiermuth in receiving yards. The amount of attention Metcalf drew from Aaron Rodgers was nevertheless encouraging, and the valuable experience the duo garnered from working together all of last season could pay big dividends in 2026. A Week 2 road matchup against the Patriots will present less than ideal circumstances, however, as Metcalf is likely to draw plenty of coverage from shutdown cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

Daniels completed 18 of 34 pass attempts for 164 yards and two touchdowns while rushing five times for 31 yards Sunday in a loss to Philadelphia.

Daniels had a rough first half, completing just six of 16 passes for 43 yards. He was much better after the break, and Daniels was particularly effective in the fourth quarter, when he tossed both of his touchdown passes. This was far from a dominant performance by the third-year QB, but fantasy managers who roster him should at least be relieved that he rescued his line late in the game. Daniels draws a Week 2 matchup versus the Cowboys -- who gave up the most passing yards in the NFL last season -- next Sunday.

Pitts failed to bring in his only target in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Fresh off having recorded a career-best 88 receptions a season ago, Pitts was clearly impacted by the fact the Falcons were without their top two quarterbacks due to injury. Spot starter Cooper Rush was harassed into two interceptions and took four sacks, and when has able to successfully get a pass off, it typically landed in the hands of Bijan Robinson. Pitts' outlook will brighten when either Tua Tagovailoa (oblique) or Michael Penix (knee) are under center, and that could happen as soon as a Week 2 home matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.

Jefferson caught eight of nine targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 39-22 win over the Packers. He also caught a successful two-point conversion.

Jefferson kept the Vikings within striking distance with a 39-yard touchdown catch just after the two-minute warning in the first half, and he put the exclamation point on Minnesota's 22-0 fourth-quarter run with a nine-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Both of those touchdown passes came on passes from Carson Wentz, as Kyler Murray (concussion) exited the game in the first quarter. Jefferson's two touchdowns Sunday matched his 2025 season total across 17 games, but the 27-year-old wide receiver has a pair of 10-touchdown regular seasons in his career. If Murray doesn't pass concussion protocol before a Week 2 road game against the Bears, Wentz would likely get the start over J.J. McCarthy.

Dowdle rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in two of five targets for six yards in the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Dowdle trailed backfield mate Jaylen Warren by only two carries and a sole target, but the former was outgained in total scrimmage yards by a 73-21 margin. Dowdle is virtually certain to have better days on the ground this season, yet Warren's efficient performance as both a runner and receiver served as a reminder of his value to the offense. Consequently, Dowdle could continue narrowly trailing his teammate in overall opportunity during a Week 2 road matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.

Meyers caught both of his targets for 40 total yards and a touchdown, adding one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Meyers did not receive much attention despite a strong offensive day for the Jaguars. Parker Washington earned No. 1 option honors, catching five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown, while Meyers took a more minimal yet efficient role with 20 yards per reception.

Hurts completed 14 of 25 pass attempts for 203 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 24-22 win against the Commanders. He added seven carries for 46 yards on the ground.

Hurts wasn't particularly efficient, but he made big completions when needed, including a 17-yard connection with Dallas Goedert in the second quarter, a nine-yard TD pass to Dontayvion Wicks later in the same period and another scoring pass to Goedert -- this time a 43-yarder -- in the fourth. Hurts also boosted his fantasy total on the ground with 46 yards, which was well above his average during the regular season last year. Hurts is playing in a new offense this season, and the veteran QB's Week 1 results were mostly promising. The Eagles should be a heavy favorite next Sunday against a Tennessee team that struggled mightily in a Week 1 loss to the Jets.

Andrews secured four of six targets for 49 yards in the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Andrews commemorated his return to a clear-cut TE1 role with a strong season-opening performance, finishing second in receptions and tying for the team lead in targets on the afternoon. The veteran flashed his customary chemistry with Lamar Jackson, and while his elevated involvement in the air attack was encouraging, it bears noting that it was partly due to Zay Flowers' early exit due to a hamstring injury. Flowers' injury could linger, however, so Andrews should remain an appealing option at his position in a Week 2 home matchup against the Saints next Sunday.
