Jeanty rushed 23 times for 102 yards and secured all six targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the Raiders' 27-13 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Jeanty shook off the ankle injury that had plagued him for weeks leading into Week 1 by handling a voluminous workload with impressive efficacy. He set the pace for the Raiders in both rushing and receiving yards on the afternoon, and he shared the team lead in receptions as well. The 2025 first-round pick's pair of receiving scores were each from 13 yards out and transpired in the second and third quarters. With his health apparently no longer in question and Las Vegas' offense looking crisp in its first game under head coach Klint Kubiak's scheme, Jeanty's prospects are bright heading into a Week 2 road matchup against the Chargers next Sunday.

Love completed 21 of 42 passes for 387 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings. He also rushed once for no gain and fumbled twice, losing one.

Love started hot, connecting with Christian Watson for an 81-yard touchdown in the first quarter and a two-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half. Green Bay's offense sputtered in the second half, and both of Love's turnovers came in the fourth quarter, during which the Vikings outscored the Packers, 22-0. Love finished with the second-highest passing yards total of his career, trailing only his 389-yard performance in a Week 4 loss to the Vikings in 2024, and he exceeded 42 pass attempts only once in 15 regular-season starts last season. Green Bay may continue to rely heavily on Love's arm as long as Josh Jacobs (personal) is on the Commissioner's Exempt List, which may remain the case Week 2 against the Jets.

Kraft caught three of six targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 39-22 loss to the Vikings.

Kraft avoided the Week 1 injury report in his return from a torn ACL suffered Week 9 of last season. He finished third on the team in receiving yards in his return, behind wide receivers Christian Watson (147 yards) and Matthew Golden (95 yards). Kraft is poised to maintain a prominent role Week 2 against the Jets.

Pittman caught all three of his targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Falcons.

While Pittman was sixth on the team with three targets, seeing just a 7.5 percent target share on Aaron Rodgers' 40 throws, the newest Steelers wideout paced the team with his 58 yards. Rodgers dropped back to pass 42 times against Atlanta, and Pittman's 39 routes were second on the team behind DK Metcalf's 42. Pittman's ability closer to the line of scrimmage as a possession wideout aligns better with Rodgers, who likes to work the ball out quickly. Pittman will have a tough date with the Patriots next Sunday.

Achane rushed 11 times for 36 yards and brought in four of five targets for 30 yards in the Dolphins' 27-13 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Achane ceded only one carry to backup Jaylen Wright, but the former's opportunities on the ground were limited due to a game script that saw the Dolphins trailing throughout. Achane did finish second in receptions and third in targets for Miami on the afternoon, and his 15 touches were tops among all of the team's skill-position players. He should continue to enjoy a solid floor in terms of his workload each week, as even if the Dolphins are frequently in scenarios similar to Sunday's, his prowess as a receiver projects to consistently keep him on the field.

McLaurin caught two of four targets for 14 yards against Philadelphia in a loss Sunday.

McLaurin surprisingly took a back seat to third-round rookie Antonio Williams (4-61-1) and veteran Stefon Diggs (4-55-1) in the season opener. McLaurin had as many targets (four) as Williams but logged less than half as many as Diggs' nine. It's expected that McLaurin will serve as the Commanders' No. 1 wideout again this year, but with Diggs and Williams both new to the receiving corps, it remains to be seen how QB Jayden Daniels will adjust his distribution of targets. McLaurin will look for a more robust line in Week 2, when Washington will face the Cowboys, who gave up the most passing yards in the league last year.

Rodriguez rushed six times for 23 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Bhayshul Tuten got the start and out-snapped Rodriguez by a 28-23 margin and out-carried him 15 to six in one of the friendliest rushing environments the Jaguars will see all season after Jacksonville jumped out to a 31-0 lead early in the third quarter. The lack of volume and production from Rodriguez in this spot is concerning for his fantasy viability moving forward, as Tuten seemed to have the clear upper hand and averaged 4.4 yards per carry to Rodriguez's 3.8 mark. Tuten also caught a 22-yard pass, while Rodriguez didn't see a target. It was clear against Cleveland that Tuten is the preferred fantasy option in this backfield.

Love rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

The rookie had been managing a high-ankle sprain for several weeks, but Love looked to be at full health when he capped off the Cardinals' first possession of the season with a five-yard scoring run around left end. Love found running room mostly at a premium the rest of the afternoon, and he ultimately finished with six fewer carries than veteran backfield mate Tyler Allgeier. Nevertheless, Love's usage also may have been the byproduct of a cautionary approach due to the first-round pick's lack of practice time this summer, and the Notre Dame product therefore could be in store for a larger workload in a Week 2 home showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Goedert caught four of five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns Sunday in a 24-22 victory versus Washington.

Goedert looked spry in the first game of his ninth NFL campaign, leading Philadelphia in catches and receiving yards. Even more impressively, he accounted for two of his team's three scores, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the second quarter and a 43-yarder midway through the fourth. Goedert carried over a strong finish to the 2025 campaign, when he caught five touchdowns over his final four contests (including one in the Eagles' wild-card loss to San Francisco). He tallied a career-best 11 touchdowns last year, and despite Philadelphia running a new offense this season, Goedert appears to still be a magnet for Jalen Hurts' throwing scores.

Hampton rushed 12 times for 43 yards and a touchdown and lost a fumble in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Hampton and the Chargers looked ready to roll early in the alarming loss, as the second-year back answered Arizona's opening-drive touchdown with a hard-charging eight-yard scoring run with 4:22 remaining in the first quarter. He was very quiet from that point forward, however, and his lost fumble at Arizona's 34-yard line on the following possession cost Los Angeles both a potential scoring opportunity and led to a Cardinals field goal. Hampton also was surprisingly shut out of any pass-catching opportunities, but he should have a good chance at a larger workload in a Week 2 divisional home clash against the Raiders next Sunday.
