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.

Boyd caught eight of 11 targets for 60 yards and added a three-yard rush during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Seahawks.

Boyd received some extra attention from the Seattle defense after Joe Mixon (ankle) left the game, limiting him mostly to short catches. Although he led the team in receptions, he wasn't close to leading it in receiving yardage as he averaged 7.5 yards per grab. Still, it was a positive sign that he was peppered with targets and Andy Dalton's huge performance bodes well for his fantasy value. Boyd should be busy once again in next Sunday's home matchup with the 49ers.

Davis did not record a reception on three targets in the team's Week 1 victory over the Browns.

Davis was overshadowed by both Delanie Walker and rookie receiver A.J. Brown in the team's season-opening contest. Perhaps most troubling for Davis was his lack of targets -- he finished fourth in the team -- as compared to the 2018 season when he finished with a 26.4 percent target share. However, the Titans improved their pass-catching depth through free agency, the draft and players returning from injury, which could spell trouble for Davis in terms of volume throughout the season. He'll look to get more involved in the team's Week 2 contest against the Colts.

Smith-Schuster suffered a toe injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Patriots but is expected be ready for Week 2, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.

After further testing, it was discovered that Smith-Schuster rolled up on his toe during the team's final drive of Sunday's 30-point loss to the Patriots. Fortunately for him and the Steelers, it doesn't look like it is anything too serious. The club expects him to be on the field for next weekend's matchup with the Seahawks. Smith-Schuster hauled in six of his eight targets Sunday night for a team-high 78 yards in what ended up being a dismal overall performance for Pittsburgh's offense. His status is worth monitoring throughout the week, but expect the team's top pass-catcher to be a full go for the home opener.

Smith-Schuster suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's blowout loss to the Patriots, but the injury doesn't appear to be too serious, Dale Lolley of DKSportsPittsburgh.com reports.

Smith-Schuster tweaked his ankle during a meaningless play in the waning minutes of the 33-3 blowout loss. Luckily for his fantasy owners, it sounds like the star wideout avoided serious injury. Smith-Schuster paced the Steelers in receptions (six) and receiving yards (78), which was to be expected following the dramatic departure of Antonio Brown this past offseason. The 22-year-old's next matchup comes against the Seahawks next Sunday, whose secondary was just burned by Andy Dalton and the Bengals for 400-plus passing yards. Expect the team to clarify the status of the wideout's ankle in the coming days.

Cain had two receptions for 35 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

The Colts entered the game with uncertainty at the third receiver role, and Cain had the most targets among wide receivers after T.Y. Hilton and Devin Funchess. With Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reporting that Funchess suffered a broken collarbone during Sunday's game, Cain could become Indy's No. 2 wide receiver next week.

Pettis hauled in his only target for seven yards in Week 1 against the Buccaneers.

Pettis made his lone catch of the contest in the middle of the second quarter. After a tumultuous offseason during which he was criticized by head coach Kyle Shanahan, Pettis was still expected to fill a large role in the team's passing attack. However, this lackluster performance calls into question how much he'll be involved going forward. He'll look to get back in the mix as the team heads to Cincinnati for a matchup against the Bengals in Week 2.

Goodwin caught one of three targets for seven yards in Week 1 against the Buccaneers.

Goodwin was one of four 49ers receivers to be targeted three times, with only George Kittle surpassing that mark. However, he failed to show much rapport with Jimmy Garappolo, converting only his first target int a reception. Known for his speed and ability as a deep threat, Goodwin was only targeted on short passes, also a concerning factor for his potential role on the team. He'll look to get more involved in Week 2, when the team will travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals.

Jones caught all four of his targets for 56 yards during Sunday's 27-27 tie with the Cardinals.

Jones didn't get many chances to shine Sunday, getting at least twice as few targets as each of Danny Amendola (13), Kenny Golladay (9) and T.J. Hockenson (9). However, the 29-year-old at least made the most of his opportunities, once making a solid catch to move the chains on third down and also tracking down a ball for a 23-yard gain to bring the Lions within field-goal range in overtime. It wouldn't surprise anyone if this sort of workload distribution becomes a trend as the rest of the year unfolds, but there could be a tradeoff in terms of heightened efficiency for Jones, as we saw Sunday.

Perriman brought in two of five targets for 10 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-17 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Perriman wasn't able to muster much out of his No. 3 receiver role, unsurprising given how much the passing game struggled overall. The third-year wideout is in line to put together more productive games than Sunday's middling performance in coach Bruce Arians' offense, but that will also naturally depend on Jameis Winston's play under center.
