Montgomery rushed 20 times for 60 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Montgomery scored Houston's first two touchdowns of the season with a one-yard run in the first quarter followed by an 18-yard run in the second. The offseason trade acquisition from Detroit added a third touchdown on a seven-yard catch as the Texans pulled ahead 28-27 early in the fourth quarter, but Houston's vaunted defense failed to hold that lead. Montgomery's 23 touches in his Texans debut were more than he had in any of his 17 regular-season appearances in 2025 for Detroit, where he had to share the backfield with Jahmyr Gibbs. Woody Marks had 10 touches for 40 yards in a change-of-pace role behind Montgomery, but the latter is clearly Houston's top running back heading into a Week 2 home game against the Bengals.

Wilson caught six of seven targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

Wilson paced the team in targets, catches and receiving yards while no teammate exceeded three targets as the Jets employed a run-heavy approach while playing from ahead. Poor QB play and a knee injury limited Wilson to a career-low 395 receiving yards in seven appearances last season, but he had at least 1,042 receiving yards in each of his first three campaigns. Wilson is set to continue working as the top target for offseason acquisition Geno Smith in Week 2 against the Packers.

Hall rushed 22 times for 102 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

The Jets overpowered the Titans at the line of scrimmage, controlling the clock with the running game while keeping Tennessee to three points through 57 minutes. Hall didn't enjoy many favorable game scripts as the Jets went 3-14 last season, but he capitalized on the heavy workload in the season-opening win while racking up 24 touches to Braelon Allen's 10. Rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter as new OC Frank Reich reached deep into his playbook early, but Hall also found the end zone with a four-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Hall and the Jets will look to build on this strong start in their Week 2 home opener against the Packers.

Allen completed 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns while rushing six times for 23 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

Allen ran in touchdowns of 21 yards and one yard in the second quarter. Those two rushing scores give him 43 regular-season rushing touchdowns since the start of the 2023 campaign, which is second most in the NFL during that span behind Derrick Henry. Allen added his third total TD of the second quarter with a 43-yard touchdown pass to offseason acquisition DJ Moore. The 2024 MVP delivered some late heroics after the Bills fell behind 31-30 in the fourth quarter, leading a seven-play, 96-yard drive capped by a 34-yard Allen touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 to play. Buffalo's defense did the rest as the Bills improved to 1-0 ahead of Thursday's Week 2 home opener against the Lions.

Lindstrom has been diagnosed with a concussion and has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

With Lindstrom done for the day, Kyle Hinton has taken over at right guard. Lindstrom will have to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be available for the Falcons' Week 2 clash against the Panthers on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Flowers (hamstring) has been ruled out for remainder of Sunday's game against the Colts, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

The Ravens had labeled Flowers as questionable to return after he exited midway through the second quarter due to a hamstring injury, but despite returning to the sideline for the start of the second half, the star wideout won't check back into the contest. He was at least able to deliver an excellent line for fantasy managers prior to his departure, posting five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown on six targets. Considering that Flowers had appeared on the Week 1 injury report due to a hamstring issue, he most likely suffered an aggravation at some point during Sunday's contest. The Ravens could send Flowers in for an MRI before having a better feel for his status heading into a Week 2 matchup with the Saints.

Hopper (Achilles) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Hopper drew the questionable tag after logging a limited practice Friday, but an Achilles injury will prevent him from playing in Sunday's regular-season opener. In his absence, Isaiah McDuffie will be the Packers' primary depth option at inside linebacker behind Edgerrin Cooper and Zaire Franklin. Hopper's next chance to play is Week 2 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 20.

Hummel (abdomen) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.

Hummel went down in the third quarter with an abdominal injury. The starting outside linebacker signed with the Texans in March on a two-year deal. Wade Woodaz will likely play most of the starting snaps opposite Henry To'oTo'o in Hummel's absence.

Bako-Bewele is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Bako-Bewele was listed as questionable Friday due to a knee injury. The offensive lineman is set to suit up opposite Jordan Morgan as the starting right tackle for Sunday's contest.

Banks (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.

Banks drew the questionable tag for Sunday's regular-season opener due to knee tendinitis that limited him in practice all week. However, he has not been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups, and he'll shift his focus toward being available for Week 2 against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 20. Jager Burton figures to start at left guard in Banks' absence.
