St. Brown recorded four catches on six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers.

The Lions' offense struggled to get going for most of the game, with both St. Brown and Jameson Williams putting up muted stats as a result. St. Brown managed only one catch that went for more than nine yards, though he still finished second on the team in receiving yards. Detroit will return home for a Week 2 matchup against the Bears, and the offense should be in line for better results.

Collins was held to three receptions (on five targets) for 25 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.

Houston's entire aerial attack sputtered out of the gates, failing to produce any touchdowns or a receiver with more than 32 yards. Collins' receiving line marks the wideout's worst fantasy output since Week 14 of the 2023 season. This was not the kind of start fantasy managers were hoping for from the unquestioned No. 1 receiving option for the Texans. Perhaps the eventual return of Christian Kirk (hamstring) will help open things up for C.J. Stroud and the rest of the passing game following an abysmal Week 1 performance. Collins is too talented to be held down on a regular basis, so make sure to stick with your studs heading into next Monday's tilt against the Buccaneers.

Love completed 16 of 22 passes for 188 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Lions. He also rushed three times for four yards.

Love threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft in the first quarter and a 17-yarder to Jayden Reed in the second to help the Packers take a 17-3 lead into the locker room. Green Bay's defense and running game took it from there, but it was still disappointing to see Love come up short of 200 passing yards for the fourth straight start dating back to the 2024 regular season. He also hasn't thrown more than two touchdown passes in a game since Week 7 of last season, and ending that drought won't be easy on a short week Thursday against a Commanders defense that just held the Giants without a touchdown.

Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters that the Texans will monitor a foot injury Andrews picked up during Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Andrews was carted off the field in the second half of Sunday's game with what was reported at the time as an ankle injury. He'll undergo further tests to determine the exact nature and severity of the injury, but it puts the 2023 fourth-rounder in jeopardy of missing the Texans' Week 2 clash against the Buccaneers on Monday, Sept. 15. Jarrett Patterson would be the top candidate to start at center if Andrews is sidelined for an extended period of time.

Jennings (shoulder) will have an MRI within the next 24 hours to determine the severity of his injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Jennings got hurt in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks, after catching two of five targets for 16 yards. He had been battling an unrelated calf injury heading into the game. The banged-up wideout's status for Week 2 against the Saints should gain some clarity once the results of the MRI become available.

Gibbs rushed the ball nine times for 19 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Packers. He added 10 receptions (on 10 targets) for 31 yards.

There was plenty of offseason speculation that Gibbs would take over the backfield from David Montgomery, though Montgomery had 11 carries to Gibbs' nine. Gibbs still managed to salvage his day with a team-leading 10 catches, but he also found running room hard to come by in that context. Week 1 was a disastrous game for the Detroit offense overall, so a Week 2 matchup with the Bears should allow Gibbs to bounce back while also potentially clarifying his role in a more typical game script.

Kittle (hamstring) will have an MRI within the next 24 hours to determine the severity of his injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Kittle got hurt in the first half of Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks. Jake Tonges stepped up in Kittle's absence, catching the game-winning touchdown pass with 1:34 remaining. Further clarity on a potential recovery timeline for Kittle will come after the MRI. If he sits out against the Saints in Week 2, Kittle will have missed at least one game for a seventh consecutive season.

Legette caught three of seven targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.

The second-year wideout saw a solid share of Bryce Young's attention, but rookie Tetairoa McMillan was the Panthers' clear top option in the passing game, and Legette's longest gain went for just nine yards. After an inconsistent rookie season in 2024, Carolina is hoping Legette can take a step forward as a sophomore, but this wasn't an encouraging performance from the 32nd overall pick in last year's draft. He'll look to deliver a more efficient effort on the road in Week 2 against the Cardinals.

McMillan caught five of nine targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 26-10 loss to the Jaguars.

The eighth overall pick in the 2025 Draft was the unquestioned top wideout for the Panthers right out of the gate, as he led the team in targets, catches and receiving yards in a mostly disappointing day for Bryce Young and the passing game. McMillan will need better performances from his quarterback to turn that kind of volume into consistent production, but it was still an encouraging start to his pro career. He'll look to make a bigger impact on the road Week 2 against the Cardinals.

McCaffrey (calf) handled 22 carries for 69 yards and nine receptions for 73 yards on 10 targets in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks.

McCaffrey shook off any concerns from popping up on the injury report late in the practice week by handling 31 combined touches in a tight victory over a division foe to kick off the regular season. Newly-acquired backup Brian Robinson (9-33-0) was the only other back to receive a carry outside of McCaffrey. The 49ers didn't have the luxury of taking a cautious approach with its star running back after TE George Kittle (hamstring) and WR Jauan Jennings (shoulder) both left Sunday's contest due to injury. McCaffrey could continue to see extra work as a receiver if either of his banged-up teammates are forced to miss next Sunday's road matchup against the Saints.
