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.

Agholor caught two of his five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over Washington.

There wasn't much for Agholor to do with DeSean Jackson and Alshon Jeffery hogging all the touchdowns and accounting for just shy of two-thirds of the team's passing yards on the day. Alas, such is the life of a No. 3 wide receiver, even in a loaded passing offense. Perhaps the good news here is that the 26-year-old played 60 snaps compared to 15 combined for Mack Hollins and J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, so Agholor's job doesn't seem to be in jeopardy just yet as the Eagles head to Atlanta for Week 2.

Coach Kyle Shanahan suggested health concerns contributed to the lack of playing time for Pettis in Sunday's 31-17 win over Tampa Bay, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. "[Pettis] just got cleared to come back on Monday, so he was a little behind the 8-ball on that," Shanahan said. "Hopefully he'll work off that and continue to earn some more time out there."

Pettis caught his lone target for a seven-yard gain on two snaps, and he didn't even get any playing time on special teams. It sounds like his preseason groin injury was a factor, though he was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday before the game. Shanahan was critical of Pettis throughout August, hinting at a lack of consistency in route running and intensity. On the other hand, Shanahan also stated his belief that Pettis "can be our best player". In the season opener, Deebo Samuel led 49ers wide receivers with 60 snaps, followed by Marquise Goodwin (50), Richie James (26), Kendrick Bourne (17) and Pettis (two). None of the bunch saw more than three targets, with tight end George Kittle accounting for 10 of the team's 27 pass attempts.

Samuel caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Rams.

Samuel played over 90 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, which is an encouraging sign despite him placing fourth on the team in targets. As the starter opposite D.J. Moore at receiver, his involvement will hopefully result in more looks Thursday against the Buccaneers.

Cobb caught four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Giants.

The former Packer was on the receiving end of Dak Prescott's last of four TD passes on the day, a 25-yard strike in the third quarter. Cobb was the clear No. 3 option for Prescott behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup, but the offense's explosive performance left plenty of production for all three WRs. Cobb may not have many games this good in 2019, but he gets another seemingly solid matchup Week 2 against a Washington secondary that just allowed 313 yards and three TDs to Carson Wentz.

Bourne caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Buccaneers.

Bourne joined three of the other four wideouts who were active for San Francisco to only record one catch. It was a disappointing game for the 49ers' offense as a whole, so its tough to really extract any sort of concrete information regarding the receiving corps. If Trent Taylor (thumb) and Jalen Hurd (back) are forced to miss next week's contest against the Bengals, then expect Bourne to be mixed into the rotation again, but not enough to warrant consideration in standard formats.

Dorsett caught all four of his targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-3 rout of the Steelers.

Injuries opened up an opportunity for Dorsett and he took advantage of said opportunity in spades. It is worth noting that the speedy wideout only garnered four total targets, teaming up with Josh Gordon as Tom Brady's deep shot specialists while Julian Edelman and James White served as the more-frequent underneath options. Even with this monster performance, it wouldn't be surprising to see Dorsett's role actually reduce next Sunday against the Dolphins if free agent acquisition, Antonio Brown, is a full go.

Johnson caught three passes for 25 yards in Pittsburgh's 33-3 loss to New England on Sunday.

Despite completing just 57 percent of his passes Ben Roethlisberger spread the ball around, connecting with eight different players. Johnson was targeted five times - the fewest among the five wide receivers with a reception - but still outperformed Donte Moncrief, who caught three of 10 targets for seven yards. Johnson has work to do but showed flashes to remind everyone why the Steelers picked him in the third round of the draft.

Kirk caught four of 12 targets for 32 yards while adding 12 yards on his lone rushing attempt during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Lions. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Kirk struggled to generate any plays downfield -- his longest catch went for 10 yards -- and he averaged just 8.0 yards per reception. Meanwhile, the likes of Larry Fitzgerald, KeeSean Johnson and Damiere Byrd finished ahead of him in receiving yardage, with David Johnson doing his usual damage as a pass catcher. Kirk did make one vital contribution, though, catching the two-point conversion that ultimately salvaged a draw for his team. Kirk will look to get on the same page as Kyler Murray sooner rather than later, but next Sunday's road matchup against the Ravens will be a tough test.

Humphries hauled in his lone target for five yards in the team's Week 1 contest against the Browns.

Humphries was expected to fill a volume role out of the slot upon signing with the Titans, but was quiet in his first regular-season game with the team. Particularly, he was overshadowed by rookie receiver A.J. Brown as well as veteran Delanie Walker. While his projected role on the team may need to be reconsidered, it should also increase when the team is forced to throw the ball in more competitive contests. His targets will remain worth monitoring in Week 2 against the Colts.
