Davis rushed the ball twice for nine yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

Davis failed to record a single target in the contest and played just seven of the Chargers' 57 offensive snaps. Buried on the wide receiver depth chart, Davis will likely struggle to see ample opportunities on a consistent basis. Nonetheless, Davis will have another opportunity to step forward in the offense when the Chargers visit the Panthers in Week 2.

Gipson wasn't targeted in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers, but he had three kickoff returns for 77 yards and a four-yard punt return.

Gipson was the intended receiver of a Tyrod Taylor pass on a two-point conversion in the final minute, but that play doesn't go down in the books as an official target. The slot receiver actually played 30 snaps on offense compared to just nine for Mike Williams and one for Malachi Corley. Once Williams is up to speed, he'll likely join Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard in three-receiver sets, but Gipson's usage suggests the second-year pro is capable of providing some value on offense early in the season, despite Monday's ineffectual season debut.

Jones caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Jones was minimally involved in the Bengals struggling offense Sunday, playing just eight of Cincinnati's 51 offensive snaps. Buried on the Bengals' receiver depth chart, the second-year wideout should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in Week 2, especially if teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) returns to the lineup.

Irwin caught one of his two targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

With teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) out for the contest, Irwin was on the field for 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. The wideout's elevated usage, however, did not translate to much production. His two targets were behind both Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas who both saw six targets. Going forward, Irwin will continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, assuming Higgins can return quickly from his hamstring issue. The Bengals square off against the Chiefs in Week 2.

Valdes-Scantling reeled in one of his two targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Valdes-Scantling played just 13 of the Bills' 62 offensive snaps Sunday, the fewest of any Buffalo wideout. Buried on the depth chart behind Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel, the 29-year-old likely will struggle to see enough consistent playing time to sustain fantasy relevance. Nonetheless, Valdes-Scantling will have his next opportunity to produce in what projects to be a shootout between Buffalo and Miami in Week 2.

Hollins caught both of his targets 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Hollins' touchdown was an 11-yard catch from quarterback Josh Allen to help tie the game at 17 early in the third quarter. The veteran wideout played the second-most offensive snaps (36) behind just Keon Coleman (45) and ahead of Khalil Shakir (33), Curtis Samuel (17) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (13). After one game, it appears that Hollins could step into a more prominent role in Buffalo's new-look passing attack, however, he could see inconsistent usage with so many mouths to feed in the offense. The 30-year-old's two targets trailed both Coleman and Shakir, who saw five and three targets, respectively. Hollins' will hope to stay involved in Week 2 when the Bills visit the Dolphins in a Week 2 divisional showdown.

Samuel reeled in both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Samuel operated as the Bills' fourth wide receiver Sunday, playing just 17 of Buffalo's 62 offensive snaps behind Keon Coleman (45), Mack Hollins (36) and Khalil Shakir (33). The first look at the receiving corps in Buffalo provided some clarity as to how Samuel could be deployed in the offense, as the 28-year-old was minimally involved despite the Bills finding themselves in a pass-heavy game script for much of the contest. Samuel will look to get more involved in Week 2 when the Bills visit the Dolphins.

Burton played four of the Bengals' 51 snaps on offense and went without a target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Even with Tee Higgins (hamstring) inactive for the contest and with Ja'Marr Chase handling a slightly lower snap share (84 percent) than normal after sitting out all of training camp and the preseason, Burton couldn't carve out much of a role on offense in his NFL debut. Andrei Iosivas filled in for Higgins in the starting lineup and played all 51 snaps, while Trent Irwin (33 snaps) and Charlie Jones (eight snaps) also saw more work than Burton. The rookie third-round pick appears to be viewed as more of a developmental piece and looks to be a long way from delivering value in redraft leagues.

Bell logged 13 snaps on offense (18 percent) Monday but did not log a reception in a 32-19 win over the Jets.

Bell made San Francisco's opening roster as expected after catching just six of 13 targets over 17 regular-season games as a rookie in 2023. The wideout didn't record a reception in Monday's win, and he did not get an opportunity to return a kickoff while rookie Jacob Cowing handled punt return duties. Given his current role, Bell doesn't move the fantasy needle heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Vikings.

Conley logged 29 snaps on offense (40 percent) but did not receive a target in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.

The veteran wideout made the 49ers' Week 1 roster but is stuck behind the unquestioned starting trio of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings (ankle). Conley was also on the field for 16 snaps on special teams. He could become a deep-league option for a Week 2 matchup against Minnesota should Jennings miss that contest due to a minor ankle injury sustained in Monday's win over New York.
