  • Eagles' J.J. Arcega-Whiteside: Considered day-to-day

    Coach Nick Sirianni said Monday that Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is considered day-to-day, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.

    Arcega-Whiteside exited Sunday's season opener in the fourth quarter, but it doesn't appear as though he's dealing with a long-term injury. The 24-year-old's status for Sunday's Week 2 contest against the 49ers will likely come into focus based on his participation in practice this week.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Multi-week absence expected

    Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said Monday that Jeudy will "miss some time" after an MRI confirmed the wideout is dealing with a right high-ankle sprain, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. A source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN that Jeudy could be facing a 4-to-6 week absence.

    Fangio didn't rule out the possibility of placing Jeudy on short-term injured reserve, which would entail a minimum absence of three weeks. Either way, Jeudy is looking at a multi-week recovery, and he safely can be ruled out for at least the Broncos' Week 2 game in Jacksonville. Before departing with the injury in Sunday's season-opening win over the Giants, Jeudy hauled in six of seven targets for 72 yards.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Just one reception Sunday

    Campbell started at receiver opposite Michael Pittman with Zach Pascal in the slot in Sunday's loss to Seattle, but had just one reception for 24 yards on three targets.

    Campbell played on 46 of the offense's 76 snaps compared to 74 snaps for Pittman and 69 snaps for Pascal. Campbell should have a steady role in the passing game while T.Y. Hilton is out with a neck injury, but he may not get many targets if the Indy offensive line continues to struggle in pass protection, and if the Colts continue to spread the ball around (eight players had two or more targets).

  • Colts' Michael Pittman: Just three receptions Sunday

    Pittman had three receptions on four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's loss to Seattle.

    Pittman played on 74 of the offense's 76 snaps as he took over the No. 1 receiver role with T.Y. Hilton out after neck surgery. However, he was just fourth on the team in targets as Indy's offensive line struggled to give Carson Wentz enough time to throw a deep ball. Wentz sustained 10 quarterback hits in the game. Because Indy's O-line is viewed as as strong unit, Pittman should improve if the unit bounces back and Wentz has more time to throw.

  • Malik Taylor WR | DET

    Packers' Malik Taylor: Draws three looks late in Week 1

    Taylor was targeted three times and caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

    The three targets were a career high for Taylor, but they all came in garbage time and after starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers had left the game. Taylor led the league in receiving yards during the preseason, but he's no more than depth at the moment, as his 15 snaps were less than half the number played by the Packers' top three wideouts.

  • Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE

    Broncos' Jerry Jeudy: Undergoes MRI

    Jeudy (ankle) underwent an MRI on Monday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Jeudy was diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain after he left Sunday's game against the Giants, and he underwent X-rays that came back negative. While the results of the receiver's MRI aren't yet known, the team is evaluating several options that likely will force him to miss some time. If Jeudy is sidelined, Tim Patrick, KJ Hamler and Diontae Spencer should see increased roles in Denver's offense.

  • Amari Rodgers WR | IND

    Packers' Amari Rodgers: One reception in debut

    Rodgers was targeted once and caught one pass for 19 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.

    Rodgers played only 15 snaps in Sunday's contest, but he did manage to record his first reception as a professional. His snap count tied him with fellow reserve wideouts Randall Cobb and Malik Taylor but was far behind the Packers' top three wide receivers, and the bulk of those came late in the game. As such, don't consider the rookie more than a depth option for the time being.

  • Patriots' Kendrick Bourne: One catch in Week 1

    Bourne was on the field for 33 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    Bourne was out-snapped by fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (74) and Nelson Agholor (64), en route to catching one of his three targets for 17 yards. Though he'll no doubt have weeks where he's more involved in the team's passing game, steady volume may be hard to come by for him with RB James White and TEs Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry also commanding their share of targets on a weekly basis.

  • Saints' Ty Montgomery: One catch against former team

    Montgomery caught his only target for five yards during Sunday's 38-3 win over Green Bay.

    While Montgomery saw just over a quarter of the offensive snaps, his most impactful plays came on special teams, particularly when he downed a punt at the Packers' 5-yard line. He should remain involved in the offense to some degree even when Michael Thomas (ankle) and Tre'Quan Smith (hamstring) are back in the fold, but Montgomery probably won't be seeing enough playing time to merit fantasy consideration even without those guys in the lineup.

  • Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC

    Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Catches six passes in opener

    Meyers logged 74 of a possible 75 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

    In the process, Meyers hauled in six of his team-high nine targets for 44 yards. Meanwhile, Nelson Agholor was on the field for 64 snaps and caught five of his seven targets for 72 yards and a TD, while Kendrick Bourne played 33 snaps and caught one of his three targets for 17 yards. Looking ahead, Meyers' volume in the Patriots' Mac Jones-helmed passing attack will vary depending on game plans/flow, but the 24-year-old should maintain a solid weekly floor, given the steady playing time he appears destined to see.
