  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Tallies two splash plays

    Doubs was targeted four times and caught two passes for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Lions.

    Doubs had only eight receptions of 20-plus yards last season and only 22 of the sort through his first 43 games as a professional, but he notched two of them Sunday -- including a career-long 48-yard catch in the second quarter. It could be tough for him to be consistent as part of a Packers offense with a lot of options, but he did start Sunday's contest, and his 34 snaps -- out of a possible 48 -- were 11 more than any other Packers wideout.

  • Anthony Gould WR | IND

    Colts' Anthony Gould: Used as punt returner

    Gould was used as Indianapolis' punt returner and played two snaps on special teams, but he didn't see any action on offense in Sunday's win over Miami.

    Gould begins the season as Indy's punt returner and also one of the team's kickoff returners. He won't have a role on offense unless there are injuries in the receiving corps.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Minimal role on offense in opener

    Dulin had one carry on a reverse for 15 yards in Sunday's win over Miami. He played on 10 of the offense's 73 snaps but did not have a target in the passing game. He also had one kick return for 27 yards.

    Dulin is the No. 5 receiver and key special-teams player who is used on gadget plays on offense. He's been productive when elevated to a larger role on the offense, but he's not going to get many targets unless there are injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps. Dulin looked fully healthy after missing time in the preseason due to a concussion.

  • Colts' Ulysses Bentley: Plays two snaps in reserve role

    Bentley played two snaps on offense in Sunday's win over Miami but did not have a carry or a target.

    Bentley was activated from the practice squad before the game with Tyler Goodson inactive with an elbow injury. Bentley may return to the practice squad when Goodson is able to return in the next week or two.

  • Colts' Drew Ogletree: Gets time in blocking role

    Ogletree did not have a reception or target in Sunday's win over Miami. He played on 27 of the offense's 73 snaps.

    Ogletree went out on just five routes as he's going to be almost exclusively a blocking tight end, with Tyler Warren becoming a focus in the passing game.

  • Julian Hill TE | NE

    Dolphins' Julian Hill: Scores first points of NFL career

    Hill recorded a two-point conversion reception during Sunday's 33-8 road loss to the Colts.

    Hill wasn't targeted outside of a two-point conversion attempt in the fourth quarter, which occurred after Miami's first and only touchdown of the day. With Darren Waller (hip) inactive due to an injury setback, Hill got a chance to start at tight end Week 1 and played 58 percent of offensive snaps, while Tanner Conner saw an identical workload. Neither tight end was targeted aside from the untimed two-point conversion attempt, though Conner saw more playing time on third downs while Hill handled the majority of early downs. If Waller is unable to return Week 2 versus the Patriots, Hill and Conner will continue to split time, with neither option carrying notable fantasy value.

  • Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND

    Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: One reception in season opener

    Alie-Cox had one reception for 20 yards on his only target in Sunday's win over Miami.

    Alie-Cox was the clear No. 2 tight end after Tyler Warren as he played on 33 of the offense's 73 snaps . Warren played 53 snaps and Andrew Ogletree played 27 snaps. Alie-Cox is mostly a blocking tight end, and his profile in the passing game will be minimal with Warren taking over as the primary tight end.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Targeted twice in ugly loss

    Westbrook-Ikhine secured one of two targets for seven yards during the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday.

    Westbrook-Ikhine played 21 offensive snaps, not far removed from the 28 snaps allotted to No. 3 receiver Malik Washington. In terms of offensive opportunities, however, Westbrook-Ikhine's two targets trailed Washington's six total touches (one rush, five targets) notably. Admittedly, a day in which Tua Tagovailoa turned the ball over three times and was limited to 114 passing yards isn't emblematic of Mike McDaniel's intended plans for the passing game, but Westbrook-Ikhine currently is entrenched as the No. 4 receiver heading into a Week 2 matchup against New England. Westbrook-Ikhine falls outside the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Talanoa Hufanga SAF | DEN

    Broncos' Talanoa Hufanga: Leads Denver in tackles

    Hufanga recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Titans.

    Hufanga's Broncos debut was impressive to say the least, as the veteran safety already looks like one of the best free-agent signings the organization made this offseason. The 25-year-old was an every-down player in Week 1 and was consistently making plays all over the field. Hufanga's forced fumble early in the second quarter was quickly recovered by fellow safety Brandon Jones, ending a Titans drive that was already in scoring range. Hufanga, who led Denver in tackles Sunday, will look to carry this momentum into a Week 2 matchup against the Colts.

  • Dolphins' Malik Washington: Makes two grabs in Week 1 loss

    Washington secured two of five targets for 20 yards during Miami's 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also rushed once for nine yards.

    Washington's involvement on offense was notable even in an ugly Week 1 loss, as he tied team target leader Tyreek Hill (four catches for 40 yards on six targets) in terms of total touches. Of course, none of the Dolphins' wideouts could get much going in a game that saw Tua Tagovailoa be limited to just 114 passing yards while accounting for three turnovers, but Washington quietly appears to have taken a step forward entering Year 2. He's entrenched over Nick Westbrook-Ikhine as the No. 3 receiver behind Hill and Waddle, over Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, heading into a Week 2 home game against the Patriots.
