Jefferson was not targeted in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

Jefferson's usage in the preseason suggested he would have a role in the Titans' offense to begin the season. Instead, he was on the field for only seven offensive snaps, fifth most among the team's wide-receiver corps. Jefferson looks unlikely to contribute much offensively, barring injury.

Witherspoon recorded eight total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.

Witherspoon was rather active in Week 1, finishing tied for second on the team in tackles behind only safety Julian Love (10). Witherspoon reached eight tackles twice in 2024, most recently in Week 18 against the Rams. The cornerback will look to build off of his performance against San Francisco when the Seahawks travel to face the Steelers in Week 2.

Lockett didn't record a reception (on one target) in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

Lockett was on the field for 33 offensive snaps (58 percent), less than rookie Elic Ayomanor. Lockett was also an afterthought in the offense, with his only target coming on the fourth play of the game. The Titans' passing offense should have more success in future weeks, but Lockett doesn't look to be a priority target.

Walker posted two tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 26-10 Week 1 win over the Panthers.

Walker had a quiet game on the stat sheet but did notch four QB pressures. He tallied exactly 10.5 sacks each of the past two seasons to emerge as a solid IDP option.

Williams recorded seven total tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the 49ers.

Williams was tied for third on the team in takedowns, while he was also able to add a quarterback hit and a tackle for loss in the defeat. The defensive lineman is now in his third season with Seattle, looking to build off of a 2024 campaign in which he registered 64 total tackles (37 solo), including 11.0 sacks, while also adding three passes defensed, one of which was an interception, over 16 regular-season games.

Hines-Allen didn't notch any tackles in a Week 1 win against Carolina, though he was credited with a QB hit.

Hines-Allen logged 72 percent of Jacksonville's defensive snaps but was unable to make any stops. He was disruptive nonetheless, recording eight QB pressures, per John Shipley of SI.com. Hines-Allen's IDP contributions typically depend on his ability to take down the quarterback -- he's recorded at least 7.0 regular-season sacks in four straight campaigns.

Okonkwo recorded three receptions (on four targets) for 19 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Broncos.

Okonkwo's four targets were good enough for the third-highest mark on the team behind only Calvin Ridley and Elic Ayomanor. His longest gain of the day went for 14 yards, the majority of which came after the catch. The Titans' passing attack struggled to get much traction Week 1, but Okonkwo was on the field for 88 percent of the offensive snaps, which bodes well for his potential to make an impact moving forward.

Bosa recorded six solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.

Bosa was a major problem for Seattle, recording a strip sack of Sam Darnold in fourth quarter, recovering the fumble and effectively ending the game. The defensive end has registered at least 9.0 sacks in each of the last four seasons and five of his six total campaigns in the NFL, and he has now picked up where he left off to open 2025.

Bernard registered three tackles (two solo), a defensed pass and a fumble recovery Sunday night in a 41-40 win over Baltimore.

Bernard's fumble recovery was huge, as it came late in the fourth quarter with the Bills trailing by eight and set up a Josh Allen touchdown run. It was an otherwise pretty quiet game by the veteran linebacker, whose three stops were fewer than he recorded in all but one contest last season. Bernard dealt with a hamstring injury in training camp but was able to play all 51 of Buffalo's defensive snaps Sunday.

Hamilton compiled nine total tackles (six solo), two passes defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.

Hamilton was rather involved in Week 1, as usual, finishing second on the team in tackles behind linebacker Roquan Smith (10). The safety also stripped the ball from tight end Dalton Kincaid in the second quarter, but the ball went out of bounds. Hamilton has increased his production in each of his three campaigns in Baltimore, and he's now opened the 2025 season on the right foot.
