Jeudy recorded three receptions on eight targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys.

The Browns made it a point to get Jeudy involved in the offense in his Cleveland debut, as only Amari Cooper saw more targets. That didn't translate to much production, though Jeudy did manage a four-yard touchdown catch midway through the third quarter. Deshaun Watson's ineffectiveness in the face of pressure makes it difficult to trust Jeudy in a Week 2 clash with the Jaguars, even given the volume he saw.

Cooks recorded four receptions on seven targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-17 win over Cleveland. He added one rush for five yards.

Cooks occupied the No. 2 receiver role in Dallas' offense and delivered a pair of catches of at least 15 yards. He did record the team's only offensive touchdown through the air, which came midway through the first quarter on a 21-yard catch. Cooks is coming off his two worst statistical seasons as a pro, but the lack of proven alternatives in Dallas should mean he will continue to get targets.

Cooper recorded two receptions on nine targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 33-17 loss to the Cowboys.

Deshaun Watson was unable to distribute the ball successfully down the field, which plagued Cooper and all the Cleveland pass catchers. If there was a positive takeaway, it's that Cooper commanded nine targets to lead the team. Even so, it will be difficult to trust him until Watson shows improved form, though Cleveland should draw a softer defensive matchup in Week 2 against Jacksonville.

Robinson brought in four of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Lions.

Robinson earned a spot on the Rams' Week 1 roster after serving as a backup in 2023. The long-time Kansas City Chief saw his role immediately increase after starter Puka Nacua (knee) had to be carted off the field in the middle of Sunday's 26-20 defeat. Cooper Kupp (21 targets) benefited the most from his teammate's absence, while Tyler Johnson (seven targets) also absorbed some of Nacua's workload in the second half. If the latter is forced to miss next Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Robinson could see a temporary boost in fantasy value and become a viable pickup in deeper formats.

Hopkins recorded one catch on one target for eight yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Hopkins was on the injury report throughout the week with a knee injury but suited up as expected. As his stat line makes evident, Hopkins was not playing at full strength and was on the field for only 15 offensive snaps (24.6 percent), per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com. It's unclear how long the injury will plague Hopkins, though it would be a surprise to see him play a full snap count in Week 2 against the Jets.

Raymond did not draw a target while turning one carry into 12 yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.

Raymond operated as the Lions' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, but he failed to make a major mark on the contest. His only offensive touch came in overtime when he opened Detroit's game-winning drive with a 12-yard run. Raymond also returned three punts for 18 total yards in the game. The 30-year-old is buried underneath the likes of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs in the passing game, limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Ridley recorded three receptions on seven targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Ridley made his Titans debut and led the team with seven targets and 50 yards. However, he and Will Levis still struggled to connect on several deep targets, which led to an inefficient performance overall. It's also unclear if he will be able to keep his target advantage over the rest of the wide receiver corps, as DeAndre Hopkins played only 24.6 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, per Turron Davenport of ESPN.com.

Kupp hauled in 14 of his game-high 21 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 overtime loss to the Lions. He added two carries for 10 yards.

Kupp popped off with a monster receiving line to begin the fantasy season after beginning last year on the PUP list due to injury. Unfortunately for the Rams, his massive target total came at the expense of fellow star wideout Puka Nacua (knee), who may have suffered a serious injury of his own in Sunday's nationally televised loss to Detroit. Kupp was already poised to bounce back following injury-plagued campaigns in 2022 and 2023, but he may be asked to do even more than expected if Nacua is forced to miss time after being carted off of the field Sunday. Kupp and the Rams will look to shake off this competitive loss in advance of next Sunday's tilt against Arizona.

Williams caught five of nine targets for 121 yards and a touchdown while adding a 13-yard run in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.

Williams accounted for 121 of Jared Goff's 217 passing yards, outperforming the combined receiving contributions of Sam LaPorta (45 yards on five targets), Jahmyr Gibbs (34 yards on six targets) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (13 yards on six targets). The highlight of Williams' night was a 52-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter on which he left cornerback Tre'Davious White in the dust. Detroit's other premier pass catchers won't always be so quiet, but Williams appears to have finally carved out a prominent role after two disappointing seasons. The speedy wide receiver will look to build on this encouraging performance in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.

St. Brown had three catches for 13 yards on six targets in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.

St. Brown was surprisingly quiet in the season opener while Jameson Williams racked up 121 receiving yards and a touchdown and Detroit's ground game took over late to get the team into the win column. You have to go back all the way to a four-yard performance against the Cowboys in Week 7 of 2022 to find the last time St. Brown had such few yards in a game, but it's much too early to press the panic button. The star receiver had at least 90 receiving yards in 11 of 16 regular-season appearances last year and will likely bounce back in Week 2 against the Buccaneers.
