  • Jalen Guyton WR | LV

    Chargers' Jalen Guyton: Completely absent in win

    Guyton did not record a reception on his lone target in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders.

    Guyton saw just five offensive snaps despite a midgame injury to Keenan Allen (hamstring). After an uneven training camp in which Guyton clearly fell behind both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter on the depth chart, it's obvious the speedster has completely fallen out of favor with the coaching staff and likely shouldn't be rostered in most fantasy formats.

  • Josh Palmer WR | BUF

    Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Nearly invisible in win

    Palmer registered three receptions on four targets for five yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Raiders. He also carried the ball once for four yards.

    After Keenan Allen left midway through the second quarter with a hamstring injury, there was a window for Palmer to make an impact. While the second-year wide receiver did play 50 snaps, easily the second most among wide receivers behind Mike Williams, Palmer was unable to do anything with the increased workload. Instead DeAndre Carter drew the extra attention from Justin Herbert, and he capitalized with two 20-yard receptions including one that went for a score. Allen is expected to miss a bit of time, which should open the door for Palmer to see more volume.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: No targets in win

    Young wasn't targeted in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Young logged four offensive snaps and is seemingly the fifth wide receiver in Seattle's offense. The rookie seventh-round pick still needs to develop before he makes a real impact in the NFL.

  • Seahawks' Marquise Goodwin: Registers 22 yards

    Goodwin caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Goodwin finished third among Seahawks wide receivers with 28 offensive snaps, which was far ahead of 2021 second-round pick Dee Eskridge, who played just five snaps. A downfield threat, Goodwin could break a few big plays this year as long as he stays healthy, although Seattle's passing game under Geno Smith will be conservative and the team already has big-play options in Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf.

  • Seahawks' Dee Eskridge: Two targets in MNF win

    Eskridge caught one of his two targets for no gain in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Head coach Pete Carroll had a couple of schemed plays ready for Eskridge, but the 2021 second-round pick couldn't capitalize on the opportunity. Eskridge played just five offensive snaps, which ranked fourth among Seahawks wide receivers and just one ahead of rookie Dareke Young.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Quiet in Week 1 win

    Lockett caught three of four targets for 28 yards in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    Seattle never trailed in the game, so Geno Smith didn't have to look Lockett's way downfield as the Seahawks stayed on schedule with a mix of runs and short passes. Lockett's four targets tied for second on the team with Noah Fant behind DK Metcalf's seven. All of Seattle's top pass-catchers could see more volume in Week 2 against the 49ers if the Seahawks fall behind as expected.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Catches all seven MNF targets

    Metcalf caught all seven of his targets for 36 yards and lost a fumble in Monday's 17-16 win over the Broncos.

    One play after showing off his hands and strength to pluck the ball out of the air for a 15-yard gain on third-and-10, Metcalf got greedy on a short pass and had the ball punched out as he was fighting for extra yardage. That fumble was sandwiched between a pair of Broncos fumbles inside Seattle's five-yard line, so Metcalf's miscue didn't wind up costing his team. Big downfield plays could be rare for Metcalf in a conservative Seattle offense helmed by Geno Smith, but the athletic wide receiver was the top option in the passing game, as no teammate saw more than four targets. Metcalf and the Seahawks will face the 49ers in Week 2.

  • Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Four catches in Wilson's debut

    Sutton caught four of seven targets for 72 yards in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.

    Sutton had just one catch for 30 yards on two targets as the Broncos took a 17-13 deficit into the locker room, but he was more involved in the second half as Russell Wilson started to look downfield more often. Both Sutton and Jerry Jeudy caught four of seven targets, but running back Javonte Williams saw the most volume in the passing game with 11 catches for 65 yards on 12 targets. Sutton doesn't look like the clear top weapon in Seattle's passing game, but the 6-foot-4 receiver should serve as a key target for Wilson on a weekly basis, including in Week 2 against the Texans.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Long TD ends lengthy drought

    Jeudy caught four of seven targets for 102 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-16 loss to Seattle.

    After failing to score a touchdown all of last season, Jeudy quickly benefited from the offseason addition of star quarterback Russell Wilson, snapping a scoring drought that extended back to the final game of the 2020 campaign with a 67-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Denver had no trouble moving the ball but failed to execute in the red zone, where Jeudy's impact has been minimal since the Broncos selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft -- he has only 11 red-zone targets in 27 career NFL games. The third-year wideout's already developing downfield chemistry with Wilson and will look to build on this strong start when the Texans come to town in Week 2.

  • Ravens' Demarcus Robinson: Carves out role in opener

    Robinson caught two of four targets for 19 yards Sunday against the Jets.

    The recently acquired Robinson had a solid role in his regular-season debut for the Ravens with four targets, which tied for third on the team. He played 23 of a possible 51 snaps and functioned as the No. 3 receiver behind Rashod Bateman and Devin Duvernay. Robinson's target per snap rate is somewhat encouraging, but he'll need to start converting those opportunities into more production before he can be considered to be back on the fantasy radar.
