Diggs hauled in both of his targets for 37 yards in Week 1 against Atlanta.

Diggs was productive when given a chance, as evidenced by a 31-yard reception late in third quarter. However, he -- along with the entire Vikings pass-catching corps-- was greatly limited as the team recorded only 10 pass attempts for the entire game. On a positive note, Diggs didn't appear bothered by the hamstring injury that caused him to be listed as questionable throughout the week, an encouraging takeaway from an otherwise disappointing performance. There's a strong possibility the Vikings will be forced to throw the ball more in Week 2 at Green Bay, giving Diggs more of a chance for target volume.

Chark caught all four of his targets for 146 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 40-26 loss to Kansas City.

Chark looked looked like a new receiver Sunday, picking up just 28 fewer yards than he had his entire rookie season. He started off hot, bringing down a 35-yard rainbow from Nick Foles for a touchdown, a play in which Foles suffered a broken clavicle. The insertion of Gardner Minshew under center didn't slow Chark down much, as he snagged passes of 69 and 35 yards from the undrafted rookie. Foles is set to miss some time, assuming he comes back at all this season, and so Chark's relationship with Minshew will be important. Though listed as the No. 4 receiver, Minshew -- as the backup -- likely threw to Chark more than some of Jacksonville's more established targets this offseason.

Hardman's teammate, Tyreek Hill, is in line to miss a few weeks, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Hardman did not record a catch in Week 1, but news that Hill will miss some time likely foreshadows Hardman -- who the Chiefs selected 56th overall this past April -- seeing added snaps/touches in the team's offense. Considering that he'll be catching passes from Patrick Mahomes, Hardman now looks like a player who could carry some fantasy utility in the coming weeks.

Though Hill won't require surgery on the collarbone/shoulder injury he suffered Sunday, he "will miss a few weeks," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Given that Hill was sent to the hospital after sustaining a nasty sounding sternoclavicular joint injury, this news does not come as a big surprise. The Chiefs will no doubt miss Hill's explosive playmaking ability, with his absence slated to present added opportunities for Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson.

Snead brought in two of three targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 59-10 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Snead entered the season as the Ravens' top receiver on the depth chart, but as was demonstrated Sunday, rookie Marquise Brown could make that designation obsolete in short order. However, Snead did make his fantasy mark in Sunday's deconstruction of the Dolphins with a 33-yard scoring grab early in the second quarter, and he could well thrive against plenty of single coverage in many games this season if Brown continues to prove as big a threat as he was Sunday. Snead will look to build on his solid start to the season when the Ravens take on the Cardinals in Week 2.

Parker brought in three of seven targets for 75 yards in the Dolphins' 59-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Parker's numbers were a modest bright spot on a thoroughly dismal afternoon for the Dolphins. The 2015 first-round pick was a somewhat surprising holdover from the prior regime in an offseason and summer flush with personnel changes for Miami, and he showed off his leaping ability and body control on a couple of his receptions. Despite the occasional flashes he's shown throughout his career, Parker has proven to be nothing if not consistently inconsistent over his first four seasons, making his week-to-week fantasy production especially hard to trust on a team that figures to have spotty quarterback play all season.

Hill -- who was transported to the hospital after suffering a shoulder injury Sunday -- is being treated to "reduce the dislocation or the injury," Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

That info comes via Chiefs head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder, who described Hill's issue as "a sternoclavicular joint injury." The team didn't provide an update or timetable beyond that, but this has the sound of an injury that could cost Hill some time. If that's the case, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson would be in line to see added opportunities in the Chiefs offense alongside Sammy Watkins.

Thielen caught all three of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Atlanta.

Thielen scored the Vikings' first touchdown of the regular season, hauling in a 23-yard score in the first quarter. He wasn't officially targeted again until after halftime, when he caught two more passes of 12 and eight yards. The Vikings jumped out to a 28-0 lead, which limited Kirk Cousins to just 10 pass attempts, so Thielen's three targets were not an indication that he was surpassed by other receivers on the team. The Vikings will play at Lambeau Field in Week 2, a contest that could lead to a boost in Thielen's involvement due to it likely being a much more competitive game.

Beckham caught seven of 11 targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 43-13 loss to the Titans.

Beckham led his new team in targets, catches and receiving yards, but the entire Browns offense looked underwhelming after receiving nonstop offseason hype. Quarterback Baker Mayfield in particular underperformed, throwing a trio of fourth-quarter interceptions. While Beckham's volume in this one despite multiple other notable mouths to feed was encouraging, he'll need Mayfield to step things up in Week 2 against the Jets and beyond if the former Giants receiver is going to live up to his lofty ADP.

Per BJ Kissel of the Chiefs' official site, Hill suffered a shoulder injury during Sunday's game against the Jaguars that led to the wideout going "to a local hospital to get it treated by their trauma department."

The report doesn't provide any specifics beyond that or a timetable for Hill's return, but this sounds like something that could cost him some time. In such a scenario, Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson would figure to see added opportunities in the Kansas City offense alongside Sammy Watkins.
