Metcalf had three receptions on five targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Rams.

The entire offense struggled in Seattle's home opener Sunday, but Metcalf was able to escape with a healthy stat line. The 25-year-old finished tied for the team lead with five targets after logging only two games with five or less targets in 2022, making his volume the only concern coming out of an ugly team loss. Metcalf will look to build off of a solid start to the season in a road matchup against Detroit on Sunday.

Doubs caught four of five targets for 26 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Bears.

Doubs overcame a hamstring injury to suit up Sunday and took advantage of his opportunities, with fellow starting wideout Christian Watson (hamstring) sidelined. Although his yardage wasn't anything special, Doubs opened Green Bay's scoring with an eight-yard touchdown in the first quarter before impressively hauling in a four-yard TD in the fourth. While Watson could return for the Week 2 matchup versus the Falcons, Doubs should remain a prominent option for quarterback Jordan Love to target in key situations, with upside for a wider variety of involvement as Doubs gets more healthy.

Moore finished with two catches on two targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers.

Moore was held in check in his Bears debut, with five teammates garnering more looks than him in the passing game. To his credit, Moore hauled in the only pair of throws his way, but he nonetheless failed to make a meaningful impact in his first game with quarterback Justin Fields. Chicago's top offseason addition will strive to make a bigger splash in Week 2 while facing a Tampa Bay secondary he knows well from his time in Carolina.

Hill recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 215 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-34 win over the Chargers.

Hill teamed up with Tua Tagovailoa to singlehandedly dismantle the Chargers. He had five receptions of more than 20 yards, one of which went for a 35-yard touchdown late in the third quarter. Hill also tallied the game-winning score on a four-yard catch with just under two minutes remaining in the game. It was an incredible performance to begin the 2023 season and marked Hill's third career contest, and his first with the Dolphins, with more than 200 receiving yards.

Adams (leg) corralled six of his nine targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 17-16 win over Denver.

Adams had a pedestrian stat line by his lofty standards, but it was a positive to see him out there for the season opener after suffering a minor leg injury late in camp. New quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo targeted his star wideout nine times, but it was fellow new addition Jakobi Meyers who cashed in on both passing touchdowns Sunday. Meyers is dealing with a potential head injury, so Adams could be in store for even more targets against the Bills on Sunday.

Samuel caught all five of his targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.

The veteran receiver led the Commanders in receiving yards while tying Jahan Dotson for the lead in catches on a fairly quiet day overall for the passing game. Samuel is No. 3 on the depth chart behind Dotson and Terry McLaurin, which will likely limit his volume and ceiling as the season progresses, but new offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy's scheme could keep all three wideouts involved in a Week 2 meeting with the Broncos.

Dotson caught five of seven targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.

The Commanders' passing game wasn't particularly productive on the afternoon, but Dotson tied Curtis Samuel for the team lead in receptions. The 2022 first-round pick showed a nose for the end zone as a rookie with seven TDs in 12 games, and if Patrick Surtain matches up with Terry McLaurin during a Week 2 clash, Dotson could add to that total against a Broncos secondary that got torched for two touchdowns by Jakobi Meyers in its season opener.

Meyers is being evaluated for a concussion after Sunday's 17-16 win over the Broncos, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports. Prior to getting injured in the fourth quarter, Meyers caught nine of 10 targets for 81 yards and two touchdowns.

Meyers stayed down after a high hit from Kareem Jackson in the game's final minutes. After eventually being helped to his feet, Meyers was immediately taken to the locker room, per Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette. Gutierrez notes that Meyers was upright in the locker room, but the wide receiver will need to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol to have a chance to build on his productive debut in Week 2 against the Bills.

McLaurin caught two of four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals.

After suffering a turf toe injury in the Commanders' second preseason game, McLaurin was in danger of missing the team's opener completely, but he was able to practice this week and got cleared ahead of Sunday's contest. The fifth-year wideout didn't look like his usual dynamic self however, as Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Logan Thomas all posted better receiving totals than McLaurin. With more time to recover, he could be more productive in Week 2, but the Washington passing game will face a tough test on the road against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

Sutton brought in four of five targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 17-16 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.

Sutton couldn't benefit much from the absence of Jerry Jeudy (hamstring), but he did salvage his day from a fantasy perspective with a five-yard touchdown grab. The veteran saw quarterback Russell Wilson spread the ball around to 10 different players, although Sutton did co-lead the team in targets with tight end Adam Trautman. Wilson and the rest of the offense are likely to become more productive the more they acclimate to new head coach Sean Payton's offensive concepts. Consequently, Sutton could have a decent chance to improve his overall production in a Week 2 home matchup against the Commanders, irrespective of Jeudy's availability.
