  • Packers' Matthew Golden: Limited by ankle issue

    Golden was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    The Packers' Week 1 injury report also featured three wide receivers, but Week 2's initial version has Golden swapping in for fellow rookie Savion Williams, while Jayden Reed (foot, DNP) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf, LP) remain listed. On a positive note, Golden would have had a cap on his reps if the team had practiced Monday, and he'll have a pair of opportunities to get some more on-field work ahead of Thursday's game against the Commanders. Golden started in his pro debut Sunday versus the Lions and recorded two catches (on two targets) for 16 yards and one punt return for 11 yards while playing 48 percent (23 of 48) of Green Bay's offensive snaps.

  • Justice Hill RB | BAL

    Ravens' Justice Hill: Tough sledding in Buffalo

    Hill had two carries for minus-14 yards and added a three-yard reception on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

    Hill had a healthy 45 percent snap share, but his usage was minimal as he had just four combined opportunities in 23 snaps. He had a mishap on one of his carries that resulted in a fumble and also had a target slip through his hands. Hill seems to be locked into a role as the passing down back who should see his share of targets as the season progresses -- he caught 42 passes in 2024 -- but rushing work will likely remain light. The Ravens host the Browns in Week 2.

  • Rams' Jordan Whittington: Contributes on special teams

    Whittington rushed once for five yards and returned two kicks for 60 yards during Sunday's 14-9 win against the Texans.

    The second-year wideout was a victim of bad luck in his first game of the season; he had a lengthy 74-yard kick return called back on a holding penalty and a 34-yard reception called back on another holding penalty. Whittington was on the field for half of the Rams' snaps on offense, a noticeable bump over his usage in the second half of his rookie campaign and slightly more than Tutu Atwell. The duo are seemingly still battling for the No. 3 wideout spot on the depth chart heading into a Week 2 contest against a Titans defense that just limited the Broncos to 176 passing yards Week 1.

  • Darius Slayton WR | IND

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Held catchless in opener

    Slayton did not catch his only target against the Commanders in Sunday's Week 1 loss.

    Slayton was targeted by Russell Wilson just once on a day when the Giants' new quarterback heaved 37 total passes. Malik Nabers got a hefty amount of opportunities, as expected, with 12 targets, while Wan'Dale Robinson was pretty active with eight. Wilson completed just 17 of his 37 attempts for 168 yards, and if he continues to struggle the team may eventually turn to rookie Jaxson Dart, but head coach Brian Daboll confirmed Monday that Wilson will be the Week 2 starter Sunday in Dallas, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. With that in mind, Slayton doesn't project to be an appealing fantasy target for that contest.

  • Jayden Reed WR | GB

    Packers' Jayden Reed: Listed as DNP on Monday

    Reed (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Reed likely will be operating under a maintenance program for as long as the Jones fracture in his left foot is bothering him, but he was able to suit up for Sunday's win against the Lions, logging 18 of 48 offensive snaps (38 percent) in the process. He was effective with his limited workload, hauling in three of five targets for 45 yards and one touchdown and taking two punt returns for 21 yards. Reed will have two more chances to be deemed a practice participant this week ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Commanders.

  • Tutu Atwell WR | LAR

    Rams' Tutu Atwell: Makes just one catch

    Atwell secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 14-9 victory against the Texans.

    The speedster didn't get many opportunities to showcase why the Rams brought him back on a one-year, $10 million contract this season, only taking the field for 25 of the Rams' 60 snaps on offense. More worrying for Atwell's future usage is Jordan Whittington taking 30 snaps on offense and having a role on special teams. In 2024, when Atwell's usage was significantly reduced after Week 7, he recorded just a 14-193-0 line between Weeks 8 and 17. If Atwell drops to fourth on the depth chart, lines like this week would likely become the norm, which will be something to monitor as the Rams travel to face the Titans in Week 2.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Snags touchdown in Ravens debut

    Hopkins caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Bills.

    The veteran impressed in his Baltimore debut, snatching a Lamar Jackson pass out of the air with one hand for his first reception and touchdown as a Raven. He only saw one target after that, though, and played a grand total of 18 snaps, which ranked third among Baltimore wideouts. The Ravens had only 19 dropbacks on a night where they scored 40 points, so there simply weren't a ton of opportunities to go around for anyone other than Zay Flowers, who was targeted nine times. Baltimore tends to be a run-heavy offense that uses two receiver sets more often than not, so there may be a cap on Hopkins' playing time projection and target share.

  • Giants' Devin Singletary: Nets only nine yards in opener

    Singletary rushed three times for nine yards in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Washington.

    Singletary didn't get his first carry until the second quarter. He gained eight yards on his second rush attempt but combined for just one yard on his other two carries. Tyrone Tracy was New York's clear lead back with 50 offensive snaps Sunday, while Singletary got 10 and rookie Cam Skattebo logged eight. Both Tracy and Skattebo gathered two catches in the passing game while Singletary didn't even get targeted, so among the trio, Singletary emerged with the least encouraging performance. The Giants' ground game -- and offense as a whole -- struggled in Week 1, though, so it may take another contest or two to get a good handle on how the workload in the backfield will end up being divvied.

  • Blake Corum RB | LAR

    Rams' Blake Corum: Logs two touches in backup role

    Corum rushed once for two yards and secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 14-9 victory against the Texans.

    The second-year back started his 2025 campaign in a similar fashion to his role at the end of his rookie year, seeing the field for just 10 snaps and making little impact on the game. Notably, Jarquez Hunter (coach's decision) was inactive for the game, while Cody Schrader was used only on special teams, leaving the backup role to Kyren Williams seemingly Corum's to lose. The Rams' next contest is against a Titans squad that allowed 153 yards rushing to the Broncos in Week 1.

  • Cowboys' Perrion Winfrey: Placed on IR

    The Cowboys placed Winfrey (back) on injured reserve Monday.

    Winfrey was ruled out for last Thursday's Week 1 opener against the Eagles and didn't play after he was injured in practice Aug. 31. He'll now miss at least the next four regular-season games and won't be eligible to return until Week 6 versus Carolina.
