Allgeier rushed 10 times for 24 yards in the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

The No. 2 back finished with just two fewer carries than star backfield mate Bijan Robinson, who was similarly stymied on the ground. However, Robinson also logged seven targets and finished with 100 receiving yards, while Allgeier did not see the ball come his way through the air. Robinson is expected to see an even bigger role in his third season, but Allgeier should still have at least an outside chance at double-digit carries in most games.

Jeudy recorded five receptions on eight targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bengals.

Jeudy saw decent target volume overall, though Joe Flacco distributed the ball evenly to Harold Fannin, Cedric Tillman and Dylan Sampson. Jeudy narrowly led the team in receiving yards thanks to a meaningless catch in the final seconds of the game to turn in a passable fantasy line. However, he also dropped a target on fourth down early in the fourth quarter and had a pass deflect off his hands to turn the ball over earlier in the contest. Jeudy should have the chance to put together decent fantasy performances so long as Joe Flacco is under center, but it would be reassuring to see him command a higher rate of targets in Week 2 against the Ravens.

Otton failed to bring in any of his three targets in the Buccaneers' 23-20 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

After managing to head into the weekend without an injury designation following weeks of dealing with leg and groin issues, Otton wasn't able to get on the stat sheet for the first time since Week 2 of last season. Despite the blanking Sunday, Otton will naturally make a much bigger impact on the stat sheet in the majority of games this season, potentially beginning with a Week 2 road showdown against the Texans on Monday night, Sept. 15.

Koo went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers.

Koo had no problem connecting on field goals from 41 and 36 yards in the second and third quarter, respectively. He had a chance to send Sunday's game to overtime, but his 44-yard field goal sailed wide right, allowing the Bucs to take a knee on the next play to seal the game. Koo is coming off a disappointing 2024 campaign in which he went just 25-for-34 (73.5 percent) on his field-goal attempts, including 6-for-9 on tries from 50-plus yards. He'll look to bounce back in Week 2 against the Vikings on Sunday, Sept. 14.

Lutz went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Denvers' 20-12 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Lutz's 39-yard field goal tied the game 3-3 in the first quarter, and his 33-yard make gave the Broncos a 13-12 lead in the third quarter. Lutz is in his third season with Denver. He made 31 of 34 field goals and all 46 of his extra points last season.

Flacco completed 31 of 45 passes for 290 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bengals. He added two rushes for six yards.

The Browns played at a methodical pace and prioritized passes to the short areas of the field early in the game, with Flacco attempting 15 passes for 87 yards by halftime. He opened things up in the second half, when he accounted for his longest completions of the game (25, 25 and 22 yards). Flacco's lone touchdown of the game came on the opening drive of the third quarter, when he connected with Cedric Tillman from five yards away. Things turned quickly, however, as he threw an interception that set up the game-winning field goal for Cincinnati on the following drive.

McManus went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Lions.

McManus made a 36-yard field goal in the first quarter before later adding a 38-yarder in the fourth. The kicker went 20-for-21 on field-goal tries over 11 regular-season games with Green Bay in 2024, and he has now picked up where he left off to open the 2025 campaign.

Myers went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try in Seattle's 17-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Myers' converted field goals were from 48 and 37 yards, and his lone extra point came after one-yard touchdown run by Zach Charbonnet. The 34-year-old Myers is in his seventh season with the Seahawks and is coming off a 2024 in which he made 26 of 30 field-goal attempts and 37 of his 40 extra points.

Ryland went 2-for-3 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Cardinals' 20-13 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Ryland made each of his first four kicks, including a 50-yard field goal early in the second half. He had an opportunity give the Cardinals a 13-point lead late in the fourth quarter, but his attempt from 46 yards out was blocked at the line of scrimmage, which led to a Saints' field goal nine plays later to make it a single-score game. Ryland is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he connected on 87.5 percent of his field-goal attempts and made all but one of his 27 extra-point tries.

Smith-Njigba finished with nine receptions on 13 targets for 124 yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 17-13 loss to San Francisco.

Smith-Njigba had his coming out party as the unquestioned No. 1 option in Seattle following the departure of DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh this past offseason. The 23-year-old Smith-Njigba received 10 more looks than the next receiver (Cooper Kupp), immediately becoming new starting quarterback Sam Darnold's favorite target. JSN did suffer from a case of fumblitis when he put two balls on the ground (losing possession of one), something the wideout will surely work to clean up in practice. Smith-Njigba will look to build off a promising start to the campaign when the Seahawks take on the Steelers next Sunday.
