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.

Schultz caught four of eight targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Schultz's eight targets were second on the team to Nico Collins' 10 on 38 pass attempts by C.J. Stroud. Schultz doesn't offer much big-play ability at 30 years old, but he's a reliable target in the middle of the field and saw his floor raise when Jayden Higgins went down with a season-ending torn ACL over the summer. The veteran tight end will be a borderline TE1/2 next Sunday against the Bengals.

Brissett completed 27 of 37 passes for 277 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions while rushing six times for 14 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Brissett helped the Cardinals set an immediate tone for a potential upset on the team's first drive of the season, when he led Arizona on an 11-play, 70-yard march that culminated with Jeremiyah Love's five-yard touchdown run. The veteran signal-caller proceeded to put together a performance highly reminiscent of several of his 2025 starts that earned him an extension this summer and the starting role to open the new campaign. Brissett connected with Trey McBride for his one touchdown pass from three yards out early in the fourth quarter, and his afternoon also included a 27-yard connection with McBride and a picturesque 33-yard rainbow down the left sideline to Marvin Harrison that was dropped in perfectly. Brissett will look to build on the stellar effort in a tough Week 2 home matchup against the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Waller secured both of his targets for 28 yards in the Panthers' 59-37 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Waller actually had a one-yard touchdown called back on a penalty on the Panthers' opening drive. Carolina used all three of Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans and Waller pretty heavily against Chicago, and both Tremble and Waller each ran 18 routes. Waller isn't going to be a full-time player, but it's clear he's going to be featured in the scoring area. He's a touchdown-or-bust fantasy bet most weeks and gets a road date with the Falcons next Sunday.

Mitchell rushed four times for nine yards in a Week 1 loss to Arizona on Sunday. He added 47 yards on two kickoff returns.

Mitchell had a long rush of eight yards but combined for just three yards on his other three carries. While he also contributed in the return game, it was a bland Chargers debut for the 24-year-old, who joined Los Angeles as a free agent in March. The Chargers' run game as a whole was largely stifled Sunday, as Omarion Hampton -- the only other RB on the team to log a carry -- finished with a mediocre 43 yards on 12 carries, though he did score a touchdown. Mitchell will look to make more of an impression in Week 2 versus Las Vegas next Sunday.
