Pierce caught all three of his targets for 125 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans.

The third-year wideout made a huge impact as a deep threat for Anthony Richardson, hauling in a 60-yard TD in the first quarter and adding a 57-yard reception in the fourth on the Colts' final scoring drive. Seven of Pierce's 76 career catches have gone for 40 yards or more, an impressive ratio that seems likely to get even better if Richardson stays healthy this season. In Week 2, Pierce will take aim at a Packers secondary that gave up plenty of big plays to the Eagles in its opener.

Moore recorded five receptions on eight targets for 36 tards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Moore didn't have a particularly strong stat line, but he showed the best rapport with Caleb Williams of the Bears' pass catchers. He caught each of Williams' three longest completions, which went for gains of 13, 12 and 11 yards. While it was a disappointing start to the season for Chicago's offense, better production can be expected in future weeks, and Moore looks to still be the centerpiece of the wide-receiver unit after his excellent 2023 campaign.

Douglas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

No Patriots pass catcher recorded more than three receptions, so in that context, Douglas, New England's de facto No. 1 receiver, didn't have an appreciably quieter afternoon than his teammates. There could be many similarly modest receiving lines for the second-year speedster sprinkled throughout the season as long as New England can effectively lean on the ground attack and its defense, but Douglas may have a chance at more opportunity in a Week 2 home matchup against the Seahawks.

Dell caught three of seven targets for 40 yards and added 19 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.

The second-year wideout looked healthy, which was the most important thing after his rookie season ended early due to a broken fibula. While Dell's production wasn't impressive in his first regular-season action since December, his target volume was comparable to both Nico Collins (6-117-0 on a team-high eight targets) and offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs (6-33-2 on six targets). With Dell still apparently set for a significant role in the Texans' dynamic passing attack, he'll look to make a bigger impact in Week 2 against the Bears.

Iosivas brought in three of six targets for 26 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

The second-year wideout finished tied for first in targets and for second in receptions while also qualifying as the runner-up in receiving yards, but that overstates his overall production significantly. The entire Bengals' air attack was stuck in neutral for the most part against a surprisingly effective Patriots defense, and even the absence of Tee Higgins (hamstring) couldn't clear a path for a stronger performance for Iosivas, who could be similarly challenged to offer useful fantasy production in a Week 2 visit to the Chiefs next Sunday.

Davis brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Davis managed a team-high yardage total in his Jaguars regular-season debut, securing grabs of 22, 20 and 20 yards that fit perfectly with his downfield profile. The veteran speedster is expected to help replace the speed component provided by the departed Calvin Ridley a year ago, and he'll look to garner some chunk plays again versus a talented Browns secondary in a Week 2 home matchup.

Kirk brought in one of four targets for 30 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

With Calvin Ridley and Zay Jones now elsewhere, Kirk was expected to fill a true No. 1 role for Trevor Lawrence, at least early in the season. However, that didn't exactly come to fruition Sunday, with Kirk unable to follow up his early second-quarter chunk play. Kirk did finish tied for the team lead in targets, but the entire passing game could be more productive in a Week 2 home opener against a Browns team that played much less effective defense on the road than it did at home last season.

Robinson caught six of 12 targets for 44 yards and added a 14-yard run in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

Robinson was frequently targeted near the line of scrimmage and finished with five more targets than second-place Malik Nabers, though Nabers led the team with 66 receiving yards. The Giants' entire passing game will continue to struggle barring significant improvement from quarterback Daniel Jones, who threw for just 186 yards on 42 pass attempts (4.4 yards per attempt) with a 0:2 TD:INT. A Week 2 trip to Washington could be just what the Giants need, as Jones is 5-1-1 with a 10:3 TD:INT against the Commanders in his career.

Diggs caught all six of his targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts. He added six rushing yards on one carry.

While Nico Collins remained the top downfield option for C.J. Stroud, Diggs made an immediate impact as a red-zone threat in his debut for the Texans. The former Bill put his new team in the lead for good with a nine-yard score early in the second quarter, then hauled in Houston's final TD of the afternoon with a three-yard grab late in the fourth. Diggs scored at least eight touchdowns in all four of his seasons with Buffalo and has reached that mark six times in total during his career, and it looks like he'll have no trouble doing it again with the Texans in 2024. Diggs will make his home debut for Houston in Week 2 against the Bears.

Collins caught six of eight targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.

The fourth-year wideout immediately re-established his chemistry with C.J. Stroud, topping 100 yards to open 2024 after doing so five times last season en route to a 1,297-yard breakout. While Collins led the Texans in receiving yards and targets, newcomer Stefon Diggs caught two red-zone TDs from Stroud and tied Collins for the team lead with six catches, giving secondaries another serious threat to worry about. Collins will look to keep rolling in a Week 2 matchup against the Bears.
