Nabers had five catches for 66 yards on seven targets in Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings.

After failing to catch his first two targets, Nabers made his first catch late in the first quarter, finding a hole in Minnesota's zone defense to pick up 25 yards on third down. He finished with a team-high 66 receiving yards, but Wan'Dale Robinson led the Giants in both targets (12) and catches (six) despite finishing with only 44 yards. Daniel Jones didn't look down the field much as the Giants failed to get into the end zone, so while Nabers clearly looks like the most talented member of New York's offense, he may be held back by the ineptitude around him. The Giants have routinely dominated the Commanders of late, which bodes well for Nabers' Week 2 outlook against a Washington secondary that allowed the most passing yards in the league last season.

Harrison caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.

Harrison's much-anticipated NFL debut ended up being a dud, as slot receiver Greg Dortch led a run-heavy Arizona offense with 47 receiving yards. The rookie fourth overall pick out of Ohio State got wide open behind the defense on Arizona's final drive, but quarterback Kyler Murray didn't see him and the Cardinals ended up turning the ball over on downs in Bills territory with a chance to win the game. Harrison will look to bounce back from this disappointing NFL debut in Week 2 against a Rams defense with less talent in the secondary than Buffalo.

Hill brought in seven of 12 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 20-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 11 yards.

A day that began in less than ideal fashion for Hill due to a pregame incident where he was briefly detailed by local police during a traffic stop culminated in a signature performance for the fleet-footed star. Hill led the Dolphins in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, a familiar distinction. He also secured his first touchdown of the season on an 80-yard grab late in the third quarter to bring Miami within 17-14 at the time. There aren't expected to be any further legal ramifications for Hill stemming from the police encounter, so he should be available without restrictions again in four days when the Dolphins have an early-season showdown with the division-rival Bills on Thursday night.

Chase secured all six targets for 62 yards in the Bengals' 16-10 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

The standout receiver couldn't parlay what was once an unlikely Week 1 appearance into a truly fruitful fantasy day, but Chase did set the pace for the Bengals in receptions and receiving yards while also tying for the team lead in targets. His outlook heading into the contest was decidedly murky, considering he'd been dealing with an illness, had practiced only a handful of times since the start of training camp and was still without the contract extension that had caused his summer-long hold-in. Nevertheless, Chase did help pick up some of the slack for the absent Tee Higgins (hamstring), but he was capped by the play of a relatively ineffective Joe Burrow. The entire Bengals offense will have to fix whatever ailed it Sunday in a hurry, as an exceedingly tough Week 2 road matchup against the Chiefs awaits.

Flournoy (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Browns, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Flournoy, who is listed as No. 6 on the Cowboys' wide receiver depth chart will be the odd man out from their receiving corps Week 1. The 24-year-old was selected in the sixth round by Dallas in the 2024 Draft and he'll now look to Week 2 against the Saints for his next opportunity to suit up.

Brown (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 game against the Buccaneers.

The veteran wideout is somewhat of a surprise healthy scratch, considering the Commanders' relative lack of proven receiver depth behind clear No. 1 target Terry McLaurin. Nevertheless, Brown's inactive status will further clear a path to additional opportunities for rookie third-round pick Luke McCaffrey and Dyami Brown behind McLaurin and No. 2 receiver Olamide Zaccheaus.

Palmer (concussion) is active for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Commanders, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Palmer was able to practice in full all week, so the second-year wideout garnering active status was simply a matter of clearing league protocol for head injuries. With that box having been checked as well, Palmer is set to work in a reserve receiver role against Washington, potentially sharing No. 3 receiver snaps with rookie third-round pick Jalen McMillan.

Addison won't return to Sunday's game at the Giants due to an ankle injury, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

Addison went to the locker room in the third quarter with members of the Vikings' training staff and was ruled out shortly thereafter. He'll thus end Week 1 with three catches (on four targets) for 35 yards. Further clarity on Addison's status may be relayed by coach Kevin O'Connell after Sunday's contest.

Keyton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

The undrafted rookie out of Tennessee will have to wait until Week 2 against the Ravens to make his NFL debut. The Raiders will roll with five wide receivers on the active roster Sunday, headlined by Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.

Rice (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Raiders.

Rice made the Chargers' final 53-man roster after being selected in the seventh round of the 2024 Draft. However, his NFL debut will need to wait at least one more week. His next opportunity will be Week 2 against the Panthers.
