Burks recorded one reception (on two targets) for two yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears. He added two rushes for one yard.

Burks was on the field for 44 offensive snaps, which was more than expected as DeAndre Hopkins was severely limited due to an ongoing knee issue. Despite the opportunity, Burks made a limited impact on the game as his longest gain went for only six yards.

Boyd recorded three receptions (on five targets) for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Bears.

Boyd was on the field for 83 percent of snaps, the second-highest on the team as DeAndre Hopkins was limited by a long-term knee injury. Despite finishing second on the team in targets, Boyd had limited production due to working primarily in the short areas of the field. He should maintain a significant role in the Tennessee offense, though it's unclear how effective Will Levis will be distributing the ball.

Wilson had zero catches on one target in Friday's season opener against the Packers.

Wilson, selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, appeared to have a shot at the Eagles' No. 3 receiver role before the team acquired Jahan Dotson in late August. Wilson saw the field for just 10 offensive snaps in Week 1, well behind Dotson's 32 and just barely ahead of fifth wideout Britain Covey's nine. Even if Wilson were to overtake Dotson on the depth chart, don't expect the Eagles to direct many targets to wide receivers not named A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

Dotson finished his Eagles debut Friday against the Packers with zero catches on one target.

Dotson was on the field for 32 offensive snaps, well ahead of fellow depth wideouts Johnny Wilson (10) and Britain Covey (9), but the only time quarterback Jalen Hurts looked his way, it nearly resulted in a pick-six. Dotson's role can only grow from here, and he's likely to be more involved once he's had more than two full weeks of practice with his new team, which acquired him from the Commanders in late August. However, the Eagles haven't typically afforded many targets to receivers other than A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith in recent seasons.

Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the field according to head coach Andy Reid, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Brown has been working his way back from a sternoclavicular joint injury in his left shoulder that he suffered on Aug. 10. Head coach Andy Reid said Monday that the wide receiver is "getting close" and that "it looks like it's heading in the right direction." Once he's healthy, Brown will compete with the likes of Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce for targets, likely limiting his fantasy upside in the early going.

Chosen reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Chosen played on 12 of Miami's 71 offensive snaps against Jacksonville on Sunday and did not catch a pass. The veteran joined the Dolphins' practice squad Aug. 29 after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster.

Skowronek reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Skowronek played all ten of his snaps on special teams during the Steelers' win at Atlanta in Week 1. It looks like the Steelers aspire to be a run-heavy offense in 2024 as long as game script allows, so there probably won't be many weeks where Pittsburgh pass catchers not named George Pickens draw enough target volume for fantasy consideration in most leagues.

Kennedy reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Kennedy was elevated to the active roster prior to Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams, failing to produce any stats while playing four offensive snaps and six snaps on special teams. The wide receiver can be elevated two more times before the Lions would have to officially sign him to the 53-man roster.

Humphrey reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Humphrey played 21 offensive snaps during the Broncos' loss at Seattle in Week 1, but he drew just one target, which fell incomplete. Given his healthy involvement in the offense, there's a decent chance he'll get called on to suit up again in Week 2.

Pryor reverted to Cincinnati's practice squad Monday.

Pryor was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss versus the Patriots as Tee Higgins (hamstring) and Ja'Marr Chase (illness) were both questionable entering game day, although only Higgins ended up being inactive. Although Chase is now healthy, Pryor could still be elevated once again versus the Chiefs next week if Higgins remains out.
