KeeSean Johnson WR | BUF
Cardinals' KeeSean Johnson: Receives 10 targets in pro debut
Johnson hauled in five of his 10 targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Lions.
Johnson was the third wide receiver selected by the Cardinals in the 2019 draft, going in the sixth round after second-rounder Andy Isabella and fourth-round pick Hakeem Butler. Granted, Butler is on IR with an avulsion fracture in his hand, but Isabella didn't even log one snap on offense Week 1. Meanwhile, Johnson was heavily utilized, ranking fourth in offensive snaps behind Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and Damiere Byrd. This game went to overtime, so Johnson may not be targeted double-digit times too often this season, especially with the imminent Arizona debut of Michael Crabtree, who was a healthy scratch Sunday but is expected to be active Week 2 in Baltimore.

Chris Moore WR | BAL
Ravens' Chris Moore: No targets despite high snap count
Moore was not targeted over 32 offensive snaps Sunday against the Dolphins.
It was surprising for Moore to play such a heavy share of the offensive snaps and not draw a single target. He played the same number of snaps as Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin combined, and those two went for a total of five catches for 152 yards and three touchdowns on six targets. Brown, Boykin and Willie Snead are solidified as the top targets at receiver, and Baltimore also gets plenty of use out of its tight end corps. With that, targets may be tough to come by for Moore for the foreseeable future.

Sterling Shepard WR | NYJ
Giants' Sterling Shepard: May have concussion
Shepard may have suffered a concussion during Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Shepard played 68 of 69 snaps on offense in the season opener, catching six of seven targets for 42 yards. Despite playing the entire game, he seems to be dealing with symptoms that warrant evaluation for a concussion. With Golden Tate (suspension) already out for four games, the Giants will be extremely shorthanded at wide receiver if Shepard isn't ready for Week 2 against the Bills.

JuJu Smith-Schuster WR | NYG
Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Avoids serious toe injury
Smith-Schuster (toe) is expected to be fine after X-rays came back negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
This confirms an initial report suggesting Smith-Schuster avoided a serious injury when he got hurt during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Patriots. His practice participation may be impacted, but it sounds like the Steelers expect to have their top receiver available when they host the Seahawks in Week 2. Smith-Schuster was one of the few bright spots for Pittsburgh in an ugly season opener, grabbing six of eight targets for 78 yards while handling a 90 percent snap share on offense.

Parris Campbell WR | DAL
Colts' Parris Campbell: Small role in pro debut
Campbell had one reception for one yard and one carry for seven yards in Sunday's loss to the Chargers. He played 18 snaps on offense in his professional debut. He also averaged 22 yards on two kick returns.
Campbell had a minimal role in the offense Week 1, but he could get more playing time with Devin Funchess breaking a collarbone in the loss. It was mildly surprising that Campbell emerged as the kickoff returner, and it was thought he could return punts, so he'll have some extra value in the return game.

Miles Boykin WR | CHI
Ravens' Miles Boykin: Scores on only target
Boykin caught his lone target for a five-yard touchdown Sunday against the Dolphins.
The rookie wasn't heavily involved in his NFL debut Sunday, seeing just 18 of a possible 77 snaps according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. However, Boykin made his lone target count as he got wide open and hauled in a touchdown to put the Ravens up 35-3. The likes of Seth Roberts and Chris Moore saw more snaps that Boykin, but part of that could be attributed to the Ravens turning to their reserves in the second half. Boykin should be more involved Week 2 against the Cardinals, although it's clear that Boykin is behind fellow rookie Marquise Brown and Willie Snead in the pecking order at wide receiver.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Patriots' Gunner Olszewski: Serves as punt returner
Olszewski logged one of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-3 win over the Steelers.
Olszewski did see 13 special-teams snaps, en route to returning two punts for 35 yards. With Antonio Brown poised to join the team's wideout mix, Olszewski obviously isn't going to be a big factor in the team's attack. However, he could remain active as a returner, with an eye toward keeping Julian Edelman safe from harm's way on that front.
-
Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Patriots' Jakobi Meyers: Hauls in 22-yarder
Meyers logged eight of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-3 win over the Steelers.
Meyers -- who parlayed a strong training camp into a roster spot -- caught his lone target Sunday for 22 yards in the contest. Looking ahead, however, it's unclear if he'll be active Week 2 against the Dolphins, with Antonio Brown poised to join the team's wideout mix.
-
Zach Pascal WR | NYG
Colts' Zach Pascal: Not targeted in loss
Pascal played 23 snaps on offense without a target during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Chargers.
Pascal also played 13 snaps on special teams. While Pascal wasn't targeted during the Week 1 loss, it's possible that he could see an increased role in Indianapolis' offense going forward with Devin Funchess (shoulder) having suffered a broken collarbone. In any case, he remains locked in as the Colts' punt returner.

Darrius Shepherd WR | LAC
Packers' Darrius Shepherd: Not practicing Monday
Shepard (hamstring) is not practicing Monday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Shepard missed practice all last week and was sidelined during Thursday's win over the Bears. While Monday's injury report isn't official, Shepard's lack of participation nonetheless makes his chances of suiting up Sunday versus Minnesota murky at best.
