Washington caught both of his targets for 18 yards during the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Washington was listed as a co-starter alongside Pat Freiermuth on Sunday, though the former didn't see a target from Aaron Rodgers until the second half. Freiermuth led all Steelers tight ends with 49 snaps on offense, though Washington wasn't far behind (43) and figures to be regularly involved in 12 personnel. The Steelers hit the road for a Week 2 clash against the Patriots on Sept. 20.

Dotson caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Atlanta's 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Dotson acted as the clear WR2 behind Drake London, out-snapping rookie Zachariah Branch 38 to 18. Olamide Zaccheaus also played 18 offensive snaps. Dotson ran 19 routes to Zaccheaus' nine and Branch's six. None of these three figure to have any consistent fantasy viability as long as all three of London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson are healthy.

Allen played one offensive snap and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

The 2025 seventh-rounder was cleared to play Week 1 after being limited by a hip injury, but he was an afterthought in the Jaguars backfield behind Bhayshul Tuten (28 snaps), Chris Rodriguez (23) and Ameer Abdullah (five). Perhaps the hip was still an issue for Allen, but he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense unless Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss time.

Cameron caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The sixth-round rookie wideout played well ahead of Travis Hunter, out-snapping him by a 19-4 margin behind the Jaguars' top trio of Parker Washington, Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers at wideout. Cameron ended up catching Trevor Lawrence's second touchdown, a four-yard score toward the end of the first quarter. Cameron would appear to have the lead for WR4 duties in Jacksonville.

The Panthers signed Dodson from the practice squad to the active roster Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Dodson joined the Panthers' practice squad Sept. 1 after being let go by the Dolphins two days prior. The seventh-year pro is now on the Panthers' 53-man roster and will provide interior depth at linebacker behind starters Devin Lloyd and Bobby Okereke. Dodson logged a career-high 129 tackles (72 solo), including 5.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the Dolphins last year, adding three pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Hunter played four offensive snaps in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

On those four plays, Hunter recorded an eight-yard catch on one target and rushed for three yards on one carry. On defense, Hunter logged 29 snaps and totaled one solo tackle. It's become evident that the Jaguars have no plans to feature Hunter on offense unless the wide-receiver room is struck by a string of injuries. He can be left on the waiver wire in all redraft fantasy formats.

Jeudy caught two passes (on four targets) for 26 yards during the Browns' 34-10 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Jeudy's first target from Deshaun Watson in the first quarter resulted in an interception, leading to a 30-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Lawrence to Parker Washington. Jeudy and Watson connected on passes of 20 and six yards late in the second quarter, but the seventh-year wide receiver did not see a target in the second half. His 32 snaps on offense were third most behind rookies Denzel Boston (47) and KC Concepcion (35), and Jeudy also is competing with tight end Harold Fannin for targets. Up next is a Week 2 road clash against the Buccaneers on Sept. 20.

Hill turned six carries into 18 yards and added a 10-yard catch during the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Colts on Sunday.

Hill saw an uptick in usage in the fourth quarter with the Ravens firmly in control of the game. He played 31 of 68 offensive snaps, which wasn't that far behind bell cow Derrick Henry's 37 snaps, though Hill is firmly entrenched as the Ravens' RB2, with Rasheen Ali being the distant third option. Hill will continue to serve as the change-of-pace back for the Ravens heading into Week 2 against the Saints on Sept. 20.

Allen caught all six of his targets for 32 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Allen played 36 of 54 offensive snaps against Baltimore and ran 26 routes on Daniel Jones' 34 dropbacks. He ran six fewer routes than Josh Downs, but Allen's microscopic 3.7-yard average depth of target made him an easy pitch-and-catch option for the quarterback. Allen lacks explosiveness at this stage of his career, but he's always been able to earn targets. He's a low-floor fantasy option at 34 years old.

Bateman did not bring in his lone target during Baltimore's 41-23 win over Indianapolis on Sunday.

Bateman and Lamar Jackson connected on a 19-yard pass late in the second quarter, but that play was called back due to offensive holding. Jackson and Bateman failed to connect on a throw early in the third quarter, and the latter finished with zero catches for the fourth time since the beginning of the 2025 season. Bateman ended up leading all wide receivers with 53 offensive snaps, and despite the early dud, his role in the offense should expand for as long as rookie Ja'Kobi Lane is sidelined by a fractured wrist, and even moreso if Zay Flowers (hamstring) were to miss time. The Ravens host the Saints on Sept. 20 in what is Baltimore's home opener.
