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.

Perine rushed five times for 20 yards and caught all three targets for 30 yards in a 33-27 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Perine was the only Bengals running back besides starter Chase Brown (16-56-1 rushing line) to record a carry, and the former also finished with Cincinnati's third-highest receiving yardage total. Perine fell off quite a bit as a pass catcher last year, finishing with just 17 receptions for 87 yards over 15 games, so his usage in that capacity Sunday was promising in terms of his potential fantasy value. The Bengals next make a trip to Houston, and though the Texans were one of the league's best defenses last year, they gave up 409 total yards to Buffalo on Sunday.

Harrison brought in one of three targets for 33 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Harrison's one reception was impressive, as he corralled a perfect over-the-shoulder throw from Jacoby Brissett down the left sideline on the Cardinals' second play of the second half to help set up a Chad Ryland field goal. Harrison's low target total was far from ideal, however, as all of Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Trey McBride and even rookie Jeremiyah Love outpaced him in that regard. Nevertheless, Harrison's upside requires he be kept in fantasy consideration when the Cardinals host the defending champion Seahawks in a Week 2 NFC West clash next Sunday.

Hooker exited Sunday night's game against the Giants with a forearm injury and will not return, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Hooker left the game in the fourth quarter and recorded just one solo tackle prior to his departure. P.J. Locke and Markquese Bell are next in line for snaps at safety alongside Jalen Thompson.

Overshown exited Sunday night's game against the Giants with a hamstring injury and is questionable to return, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Overshown left the game in the second half and was spotted on the sideline without his helmet, suggesting his night may be over. Prior to the injury, Overshown racked up seven tackles (one solo). Jaishawn Barham and Shemar James are next up at linebacker alongside Dee Winters.

Wilson secured five of seven targets for 56 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Wilson saw No. 3 receiver Kendrick Bourne outpace him by three catches, 19 receiving yards and one target, an interesting development to at least keep in mind in the early portion of the season. However, Wilson still enjoyed a solid role that saw him record four more catches on four additional targets than No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison, and there's no questioning Wilson's chemistry with Jacoby Brissett after the duo generated multiple fantasy-friendly stat lines last season. Wilson therefore retains plenty of fantasy viability despite a tough Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Hockenson caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Justin Jefferson easily paced the Vikings with nine targets on 24 total pass attempts, but Hockenson was second on the team with his five looks. His 16-yard touchdown in the third quarter pulled Minnesota within five points to make it 22-17 in favor of Green Bay. Hockenson averaged a career-low 29.2 yards per game last season, but improved quarterback play and being another year removed from ACL surgery has the veteran tight end potentially undervalued in fantasy this season.

Allgeier rushed 17 times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Allgeier lived up to his No. 1 slotting on the Week 1 depth chart, outpacing Jeremiyah Love by six carries and matching the rookie's reception total, albeit on two fewer targets. Allgeier did scuffle for rushing yards all afternoon long, but the veteran back helped keep the Chargers defense honest and proved capable of leading the ground attack. Love should be in line for a progressive boost in volume as the season unfolds, and there's no doubt as to which player between him and Allgeier has the higher ceiling; nevertheless, the latter should continue to see plenty of opportunity during a Week 2 home divisional clash with the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Robinson finished Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Jets with five catches for 38 yards.

Tennessee's offense struggled as a whole Sunday, and the addition of Robinson and rookie Carnell Tate to the wideout corps didn't do much to improve QB Cam Ward's performance following a disappointing rookie season. Robinson and Tate both turned six targets into 38 yards, with Robinson logging five catches to Tate's four. As has been the case throughout Robinson's career, he was deployed mostly in short yardage, averaging a meager 7.6 yards per catch. Robinson blossomed with the Giants last year for a career-best 1,014 receiving yards on 92 catches, but he may struggle to reach those marks in 2026 if Ward doesn't show considerable improvement.
