  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Paces pass catchers in win

    Pittman secured six of eight targets for 80 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' 33-8 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Pittman led the Colts in receiving yards while checking in second to rookie tight end Tyler Warren in both receptions and targets. The veteran receiver looked to be consistently on the same page with new quarterback Daniel Jones right from the jump, with the duo connecting for gains of 14 and 27 yards in the first two possessions, the latter going for a touchdown. Pittman should have a chance to serve as one of Jones' top targets again when the Colts face off with a talented Broncos defense at home in a Week 2 matchup next Sunday.

  • Jake Andrews C | HOU

    Texans' Jake Andrews: Carted off Sunday

    Andrews (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Andrews was carted off the field after suffering an ankle injury in the second half versus Los Angeles. Jarrett Patterson took over at center following Andrews' departure.

  • Rashid Shaheed WR | SEA

    Saints' Rashid Shaheed: Hauls in six passes in loss

    Shaheed caught six of nine targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals.

    The fourth-year wideout saw strong volume in new coach Kellen Moore's scheme, but Shaheed was actually the Saints' third-most productive pass catcher behind TE Juwan Johnson (8-76 on 11 targets) and WR Chris Olave (7-54 on 13 targets). With Spencer Rattler chucking up a career-high 46 pass attempts in a game that remained close throughout, the ceiling for the team's aerial attack might be higher than expected despite the question marks at quarterback. Shaheed will look to turn his volume into a big gain or two at home in Week 2 against the 49ers.

  • Packers' Zach Tom: Suffers hip injury

    Tom (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Lions.

    Tom suffered a hip injury late in the third quarter while trying to avoid landing on quarterback Jordan Love on a broken play. Darian Kinnard replaced him at right tackle versus Detroit.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Just short of 100-yard mark in win

    Meyers brought in eight of 10 targets for 97 yards in the Raiders' 20-13 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

    Facing his old squad, Meyers finished with team-leading reception and target totals while checking in just behind Brock Bowers (knee) in receiving yards. The veteran wideout displayed an encouraging rapport with new quarterback Geno Smith, and Meyers' final line was a signature one for a receiver that's made his living in the league excelling in the short- and medium-range passing windows. Meyers should be very busy again during a Week 2 home divisional showdown with the Chargers on Monday night, Sept. 15.

  • Packers' Brenton Cox: Questionable to return Sunday

    Cox (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Detroit.

    Cox suffered a groin injury in the third quarter versus the Lions, which has placed doubt on his ability to return to action. Prior to exiting the game, Cox failed to record any stats.

  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Suffers shoulder injury

    Jennings exited Sunday's game in Seattle due to a left shoulder injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Jennings was favoring his left arm while coming off the field at the 13:35 mark of the fourth quarter. When he attempted to catch passes on the sideline, he was seen grimacing before the 49ers deemed him questionable to return. Jennings had two catches (on five targets) for 16 yards prior to his departure.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Leading receiver against Cards

    Johnson caught eight of 11 targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Cardinals.

    Arizona's Trey McBride came into the game as the big-name tight end, but Johnson bested him in targets, catches and yards while posting game-high totals in the latter two categories. New Orleans' new offense under coach Kellen Moore could be a boon to all the team's top pass catchers, as Spencer Rattler attempted a career-high 46 passes despite the fact that the score remained fairly close the whole way, and his reliance on Johnson is especially promising for the 28-year-old TE. Johnson will look to make a splash again at home Week 2 in a matchup against another elite player at his position, San Francisco's George Kittle (hamstring), assuming the latter is available.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Quiet day in Week 1 loss

    Waddle brought in four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday.

    Waddle's quiet final line represented the collateral damage caused by an ugly performance from Tua Tagovailoa, who turned the ball over three times while managed just 114 passing yards overall. Waddle finished tied with Tyreek Hill for the team lead in receptions and also drew even with Malik Washington for runner-up status in targets, but it was naturally a very underwhelming day overall for the star receiver. The entire Dolphins air attack will aim for a reset in a Week 2 home matchup against the Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 14.

  • Bo Melton WR | GB

    Packers' Bo Melton: Exits with shoulder injury

    Melton (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Lions.

    Melton sustained a shoulder injury in the second half of Sunday's game, which has placed some doubt on his ability to return to the field. The 26-year-old was making his first official appearance as a cornerback with Green Bay but failed to record any stats before his departure.
