Jones was targeted five times in Sunday's win over the Jets, but caught just two balls for 18 yards.

Worse, Jones -- who was Buffalo's top receiver in 2018 -- saw the field for just 42 percent of the offensive plays while newcomers John Brown and Cole Beasley saw 86 percent and 70 percent of those snaps, respectively. Even Robert Foster was on the field for 22 percent of the offensive action. Jones will have more productive days for sure, but in an offense that would prefer to rely on the run and short passes -- with two or three options clearly ahead of him in the pecking order -- he's likely to be an inconsistent play unless injuries sort the situation differently.

Montgomery rushed twice for four yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills.

Montgomery was the only Jets running back to touch the ball besides Le'Veon Bell, but Bell served as the workhorse with 17 carries and six catches, including New York's lone offensive touchdown. As long as Bell stays healthy, Montgomery won't see enough volume to carve out a fantasy-relevant role.

Bellamy caught his lone target for 15 yards in Sunday's 17-16 loss to the Bills.

As expected, Bellamy served in a depth role on offense. He's unlikely to exceed his career highs of 24 catches and 376 yards, set with the Bears in 2017.

The Chiefs will continue to evaluate the status of Hill's collarbone over the next couple of days, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, with "options ranging from missing a few games to IR/designated to return."

The team is bracing for Hill to miss multiple games regardless of how it handles his injury for roster purposes. Sammy Watkins will profile as the Chiefs' top wideout in the meantime, while Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson are candidates to see added work in the Chiefs offense.

Lacy logged three snaps on offense compared to 21 on special teams during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.

Lacy was almost exclusively utilized on special teams in this one, but that should be expected when Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola are all healthy enough to play. However, considering quarterback Matthew Stafford aired it out for 385 passing yards (most since 2017) during his first game under a new offensive coordinator, there's a reason to be optimistic about Lacy in deeper leagues should he ever be forced into significant playing time on offense.

Grant brought in one of three targets for a loss of three yards during Sunday's 59-10 loss to the Ravens.

Grant was listed as one of Miami's starting receivers Week 1 but was ultimately overshadowed by undrafted rookie Preston Williams, who caught three passes for 24 yards and a touchdown. While Grant is guaranteed to retain his role as a gadget player and kick returner, it wouldn't be surprising if Williams were to usurp him as the No. 3 receiver in Miami in the near future.

Wilson returned one punt for no gain in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. He was not targeted in the passing game.

Wilson logged six snaps from scrimmage and added 13 on special teams, and he notably worked as the No. 4 receiver ahead of Justin Watson. While that didn't equate to any offensive stats in Week 1, the disjointed nature of Jameis Winston's performance could have had a part to play. Wilson's punt returner job will be his most consistent path to potential production from game to game for the time being, but based on the notable improvement he displayed as a receiver in training camp and preseason, he's likely to eventually get involved as a pass catcher as well.

Cole played 12 offensive snaps in Week 1's game versus the Chiefs, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Cole clearly has become an afterthought in this offense as he was out-snapped by Dede Westbrook (48), Chris Conley (44) and rookie D.J. Chark (41). All three of those players had at least four catches and a score, meaning Cole's opportunities are likely to stay scarce unless one of them falters. Expect him to play a depth role again in Week 2 versus the Texans.

Cooks caught just two of his six targets for 39 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over Carolina.

He began his second season with the Rams by hauling in both his passes on the opening drive of the third quarter, and Cooks looked impressive and in sync with quarterback Jared Goff. Cooks then drew a pass interference penalty on a deep ball during Los Angeles' next drive. He played 71 of 77 offensive snaps and primarily was targeted downfield, so his disappointing stat line against the Panthers shouldn't overshadow his five consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons entering 2019. It's important to note there are plenty of offensive playmakers for Goff to spread the ball around to, and this probably won't be the last underwhelming fantasy performance of the year from Cooks.

Reynolds failed to catch either of his two targets during Sunday's 30-27 win over Carolina. He was also on the field for just 25 of 77 offensive snaps.

As long as Reynolds is slotted as the No. 4 wide receiver on the depth chart, he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy splash. He's shown fleeting upside when injuries to Robert Woods in 2017 and Cooper Kupp in 2018 have provided him with a larger role in the offense, but the Texas A&M product also never fully capitalized on those opportunities.
