McPherson went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and made all three PATs in Sunday's 33-27 win over Tampa Bay.

After making all 15 of his kicks in the preseason, McPherson picked up right where he left off in Week 1, accounting for 15 of the Bengals' points. The Bengals jumped out to a 21-3 lead midway through the second quarter via three touchdowns, but it was McPherson who did all the scoring for Cincinnati the rest of the way, as he made field goals from 20, 55, 58 and 32 yards. Kicking in this elite offense makes McPherson a weekly K1 in fantasy.

Dart completed 23 of 29 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys. He also rushed 11 times for 54 yards.

Dart delivered a superb performance with both his arm and his legs. He threw touchdown passes of 15 and two yards to Isaiah Likely, as well as a nine-yard touchdown pass to Devin Singletary. Dart also finished second on the team in rushing yards, 27 shy of Cam Skattebo's 81. The mobile QB completed all eight of his pass attempts to Likely and showed promising chemistry with wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee), who suited up after being listed as questionable heading into Sunday night's season opener. Dart and the Giants will play in primetime again in Week 2, when they visit the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Nabers (knee) caught six of nine targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.

Nabers was listed as questionable heading into the game but ultimately suited up for his first game action since suffering a torn ACL and meniscus in Week 4 of last season. The 2024 first-round pick led the Giants in targets and finished nine receiving yards shy of Isaiah Likely's team-leading total. Jaxson Dart threw three touchdown passes in a strong Week 1 performance, though none of them went to wide receivers. The Giants' passing game is trending up heading into a Week 2 road game against the Rams on Monday Night Football, and Nabers has reclaimed his role as the team's top wide receiver.

Skattebo rushed 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown but wasn't targeted in the passing game during Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.

Skattebo opened the scoring with a three-yard touchdown run to cap the Giants' first possession of the season. The 2025 fourth-round pick looked spry in his return from a season-ending ankle fracture suffered in Week 8 of his rookie campaign. He led the team in both rushing attempts and rushing yards Sunday while Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy combined for just 30 rushing yards on eight carries, though Singletary got all four targets among Giants running backs and scored a fourth-quarter receiving touchdown. Skattebo should continue to spearhead the Giants' rushing attack in Week 2 against the Rams on Monday Night Football.

Williams rushed 12 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while catching all five of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Williams scored a one-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter and added a 17-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He was called for a 15-yard taunting penalty on his touchdown catch, and Brandon Aubrey missed the ensuing PAT to keep Dallas' deficit at eight points with 5:21 remaining, though that miss proved moot after the Giants proceeded to eat up the remainder of the game clock on the ensuing possession. No Cowboys teammate had more than two carries in Sunday's loss, so Williams is locked in as the primary option in Dallas' backfield heading into a Week 2 home game against the Commanders.

Pickens caught three of six targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Pickens had a couple drops in Sunday night's underwhelming season-opening performance. He was also quiet in Week 1 last season with a 30-yard receiving performance against the Eagles, but Pickens went on to post career highs with 1,429 receiving yards and nine TDs during the 2025 regular season. The talented wide receiver has a nice rebound opportunity coming up Week 2 against a Washington secondary that was among the league's leakiest in 2025.

Lamb caught five of eight targets for 44 yards and a touchdown while adding one carry for no gain in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.

Lamb led the team in targets and receiving yards, as Dak Prescott threw for only 175 yards in a subpar Week 1 showing from Dallas' talented passing game. It was encouraging to see Lamb find the end zone in the season opener after he scored a career-low three touchdowns across 14 appearances during the 2025 regular season. Lamb had at least six total TDs in each of the preceding five campaigns, and he got on the board with a one-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter against the Giants. The Cowboys will aim to bounce back in their Week 2 home opener against the Commanders.

Mayer brought in six of seven targets for 32 yards in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Filling the No. 1 tight end role due to Brock Bowers (knee) being sidelined, Mayer set the pace for the Raiders in targets while also tying for the team lead in receptions. Mayer gained 14 of his yards on one catch, so he was mired in an extreme short-area role for the majority of the afternoon. Nevertheless, he's proven capable of offering useful production as Bowers' fill-in on multiple occasions, although Mayer could revert to his usual reserve role in light of reports that Bowers could be ready for his season debut as early as next Sunday's Week 2 road matchup against the Chargers.

Washington brought in three of eight targets for 53 yards, returned three kickoffs for 56 yards and ran back one punt for 17 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Washington's turnover was the one blemish on an otherwise encouraging afternoon, as the fumble came at the two-minute warning after a 26-yard reception and snuffed out any last-gasp chance at a comeback for Miami. Washington also finished as the team leader in targets and second in receiving yards for the Dolphins, and he matched Caleb Douglas for a team-high 30-yard catch. The 2024 sixth-round pick also put in solid work as a returner, and he should remain heavily involved on both offense and special teams in a Week 2 road matchup against the 49ers.

Douglas brought in five of seven targets for 94 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Douglas led the Dolphins in receptions and receiving yards while finishing second in targets in his NFL regular-season debut. The rookie third-round pick tied fellow wideout Malik Washington for a team-long 30-yard catch as well, and Douglas' immediate chemistry with quarterback Malik Willis combined with Miami's overall lack of playmakers outside of De'Von Achane bodes well for the first-year receiver's prospects moving forward.
