McLaurin caught two of four targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

Perhaps a lack of training camp reps due to an ankle injury and since-resolved contract dispute threw off McLaurin's timing in the season opener, though he also got off to a slow start last season, with just 39 yards through Week 2. McLaurin will try to avoid the same fate Thursday when the Commanders travel to Green Bay. He had a boom-or-bust season in 2024, with four multi-touchdown performances in the regular season, as well as five games with fewer than 30 receiving yards.

Jones is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to an ankle injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Jones has gone back to the locker room to determine the severity of the injury and whether he can return late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen are candidates to see an uptick in defensive snaps due to Jones' injury.

Daniels completed 19 of 30 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown while rushing 11 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 21-6 win over the Giants.

Daniels gave the Commanders a 7-0 lead with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Zach Ertz in the first quarter, and Washington took a 14-3 lead into the locker room, but it could have been larger if not for an intentional grounding penalty on Daniels from the Giants' four-yard line that resulted in a half-ending 10-second runoff. Washington's defense continued to stifle the Giants in the second half, so Daniels wasn't asked to do too much, though he still topped the 60-yard rushing mark for the seventh time in 18 regular-season NFL starts. Daniels' ability to contribute with both his arm and legs makes the second-year pro an elite fantasy option heading into Thursday's Week 2 trip to Green Bay.

Robinson rushed 12 times for 24 yards and brought in six of seven targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons' 23-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble.

As his final line indicates, Robinson was completely stonewalled on the ground by a typically stout Buccaneers run defense. However, the versatile running back made his mark through the air and wasted no time doing so, capping off the game's opening possession with a weaving 50-yard touchdown reception. Robinson would go on to compile exactly that same amount of yardage on his subsequent five receptions, just getting to his second career 100-yard game as a receiver. Better days are naturally ahead for Robinson as a runner as well, and despite the lack of rushing production Sunday, his 18 total touches certainly represent a solid start to his season from a fantasy perspective. Robinson next takes aim at the Vikings defense on the road in a Sunday night Week 2 matchup.

Nabers caught five of 12 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders.

Nabers caught only two of five first-half targets for 23 yards as Russell Wilson mustered only 58 passing yards in his first two quarters as the Giants' quarterback. Things didn't get much better for the Giants on offense in the second half, though the cream rose to the top with Nabers finishing as the team leader in targets and receiving yards. New York doesn't seem to have upgraded at the quarterback position with the switch from Daniel Jones to Wilson, but it may not be long until Nabers is catching passes from rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart if things don't pick up offensively. Wilson is likely to remain the starting quarterback in Week 2 at Dallas.

Mullings is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos due to an ankle injury, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Mullings appeared to injure his right ankle during the Titans' punt return in the first quarter, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. Julius Chestnut would serve as the Titans' lone backup running back behind Tony Pollard if Mullings is unable to return.

Emmanwori (ankle) has returned for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.

Emmanwori went to the locker room early in the first quarter due to an ankle injury. The injury doesn't appear to be severe as he was back on the field for the Seahawks' kickoff coverage early in the second frame.

Tagovailoa completed 14 of 23 passes for 114 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions while adding one rush for seven yards in the Dolphins' 33-8 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also lost a fumble and threw a two-point conversion pass.

In a harbinger of the type of game it would be for the Dolphins offense and Tagovailoa in particular, the 2020 first-round pick sailed a pass intended for Tyreek Hill very high on the opening drive, leading to an interception by Camryn Bynum. The veteran signal-caller then handed the ball to the Colts again on the next possession, losing a fumble recovered by former teammate Xavien Howard. Tagovailoa would go on to short-circuit another possession with a third-quarter interception in Indianapolis territory, and only his 11-yard touchdown pass to De'Von Achane and subsequent two-point conversion pass to Julian Hill in the fourth quarter gave the signal-caller's fantasy day any semblance of respectability. Tagovailoa's first opportunity for atonement comes in a Week 2 home matchup next Sunday against a Patriots defense that allowed 362 yards to the Raiders' Geno Smith in Week 1 while playing without Christian Gonzalez (hamstring).

Thomas is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers due to a hand injury.

Thomas may have picked up the injury during the Lions' first defensive drive in the first quarter. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Thomas entered Sunday's game as the only reserve safety on the active roster behind Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch.

Following Sunday's 20-10 win over the Patriots, Bowers downplayed the knee issue that caused his exit from the contest, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, Bowers indicated afterward that he's fine, with the tight end noting that he took a little hit on his knee (which he got checked out ) and that there are no concerns moving forward. Meanwhile, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Bowers wanted to return to Sunday's game, but the Raiders' training staff elected to hold him out. In any case, added context regarding Bowers' Week 2 status will arrive no later than Thursday, when Las Vegas takes the practice field ahead of next Monday's contest against the Chargers.
