  • Elijah Moore WR | PHI

    Bills' Elijah Moore: Minimal production against Ravens

    Moore caught his lone target for three yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

    Moore was not a significant part of the Bills' offensive game plan in Week 1. The veteran played just 12 offensive snaps in the contest, the fewest of any wideout who saw action Sunday. Currently sitting at fourth on the wide receiver depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, Moore faces an uphill battle for playing time this season. The 25-year-old should remain off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Bills' Joshua Palmer: Records five catches in win

    Palmer caught five of nine targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

    Palmer played a solid 62 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday while operating as Buffalo's No. 3 wide receiver behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir, who finished with snap percentages of 88 and 75 percent, respectively. Additionally, the veteran wideout's nine targets were tied for the second-highest total among all Bills pass catchers. Though he may be an inconsistent producer based on his role in an offense flush with playmakers, Palmer proved that he is a trusted target of Josh Allen in his regular season debut with Buffalo. Palmer will look to build upon his performance when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2.

  • Dawson Knox TE | BUF

    Bills' Dawson Knox: Two catches against Ravens

    Knox caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

    Knox led all Bills tight ends in offensive snaps, but, as expected, it was teammate Dalton Kincaid who played a bigger role in Buffalo's passing attack. Knox wasn't able to get much going, while Kincaid caught all four of his targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. Going forward, the veteran should expect similar usage, capping Knox's overall fantasy value. The 28-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Jets.

  • Ray Davis RB | BUF

    Bills' Ray Davis: Limited role in season opener

    Davis rushed once for two yards and reeled in his lone target for minus-one yard in Sunday's 41-40 win over the Ravens.

    Davis played just 10 of the Bills' 85 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter James Cook (48) and Ty Johnson (28). With so many playmakers in Buffalo, the second-year running back should continue to struggle to earn meaningful touches out of the backfield barring an injury to Cook. With that said, Davis remains a high-value insurance policy for fantasy purposes. The 25-year-old will have his next opportunity to get involved when the Bills visit the Jets in Week 2.

  • Jaylin Lane WR | WAS

    Commanders' Jaylin Lane: Targeted twice in debut

    Lane caught one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

    Lane operated as the No. 4 wide receiver in the Commanders' offense, but it was encouraging to see him targeted twice while he played 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps. The rookie wideout will continue to develop as the season progresses, but he'll likely face an uphill battle for steady usage in an offense that is flush with playmakers. Lane will have his next opportunity to take a step forward in Week 2 when the Commanders visit the Packers.

  • Luke McCaffrey WR | WAS

    Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Not involved against Giants

    McCaffrey failed to record a single target in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

    McCaffrey was unable to take a step forward in the first game of his second season, as the 24-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and was on the field for just five of the Commanders' 70 offensive snaps. Buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Noah Brown and Jaylin Lane, McCaffrey will not see enough usage in Washington's offense to make a fantasy impact on a consistent basis. Nonetheless, the Rice product will have his next chance to be more involved when the Commanders visit the Packers in Week 2.

  • Commanders' Jeremy McNichols: Handles four carries in win

    McNichols rushed four times for 25 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

    McNichols played 13 of the Commanders' 70 offensive snaps in the contest, operated as the No. 3 running back behind Austin Ekeler (33) and Jacory Croskey-Merritt (23). With limited opportunities, McNichols will continue to struggle to record meaningful stats for fantasy going forward, barring injuries to Ekeler, Croskey-Merritt or Chris Rodriguez, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1. The Commanders are set to square off against the Packers in Week 2.

  • Andrei Iosivas WR | CIN

    Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Not targeted in win

    Iosivas was not targeted in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

    Iosivas operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, playing 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's top duo at wideout, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, saw snap shares of 87 and 79 percent, respectively. With plenty of mouths to feed on offense in Chase, Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant and Mike Gesicki, Iosivas will be extremely difficult to trust for anything close to consistent fantasy production. Iosivas should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals host the Jaguars in Week 2.

  • Tahj Brooks RB | CIN

    Bengals' Tahj Brooks: Limited to special teams in debut

    Brooks did not play a single offensive snap in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

    Brooks was a complete nonfactor in the Bengals' season opener, failing to earn a single touch in the contest. Instead, the rookie running back was used solely on special teams, playing a total of 12 snaps with the unit. With Chase Brown taking the majority of snaps on offense and Samaje Perine operating as the team's No. 2 option, Brooks faces an uphill battle for playing time barring injuries. The Texas Tech product's next opportunity to get involved will come when the Bengals host the Jaguars in Week 2.

  • Samaje Perine RB | CIN

    Bengals' Samaje Perine: Targeted twice in Week 1

    Perine caught both of his targets for six yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

    Operating as the No. 2 running back behind Chase Brown, Perine failed to record a single carry in the contest. The 29-year-old was a distant afterthought in the Bengals' offensive plans, playing just 13 of Cincinnati's 52 offensive snaps, while Brown was on the field for 39 snaps and handled 24 total touches. Barring an injury to Brown, Perine will likely hold very little fantasy value going forward, keeping him off the fantasy radar as anything more than an insurance policy. Next up for the veteran is a Week 2 matchup against the Jaguars.
