Harvey rushed three times for 18 yards, brought in all four targets for 23 yards and returned four kickoffs for 111 yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Harvey saw an uptick in opportunities as a pass catcher due to game script, one that saw the Broncos fall behind by a 24-10 margin late in the third quarter. The second-year back also was efficient with his trio of carries, which were five fewer than those logged by lead runner J.K. Dobbins. Harvey should have a chance for more opportunities on the ground in most games this season, including a Week 2 home matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday where Denver's offense will have a higher probability of running a more balanced attack.

Williams reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Williams saw five special-teams snaps in Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bengals, returning one kickoff for 47 yards. Williams' one explosive play may be enough to merit another elevation if the Buccaneers still require depth at returner for the Week 2 game against the Browns.

Dobbins rushed eight times for 36 yards and wasn't targeted in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

The highlight of Dobbins' relatively unremarkable night came early in the third quarter, when he changed direction shortly after taking the handoff and rumbled around left end for a 17-yard gain. The veteran back otherwise found running room difficult to come by against a dominant Chiefs defense, and Dobbins' rushing opportunities were notably limited overall due to game script. There will be much more cohesive offensive performances for the Broncos this season, and Dobbins should be in line for a bigger workload during Denver's home opener Week 2 against the Jaguars.

Covey reverted to the Eagles' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Covey saw six special-teams snaps the Eagles' win over the Commanders on Sunday, returning four punts for 37 yards. While Covey's average of 9.3 yards per punt return was impressive, it remains to be seen if he'll be elevated for a Week 2 road matchup against the Titans.

Rice brought in both targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.

Rice was on the receiving end of Patrick Mahomes' first touchdown pass of the season, doing all the work on a 13-yard scoring grab off a wide-receiver screen late in the first half that saw him break multiple tackles. Rice was quiet otherwise, but he did deliver excellent downfield blocking on Travis Kelce's game-long 59-yard catch in the third quarter. Mahomes connected on just five occasions with Rice and fellow starting wideout Xavier Worthy on Monday night, but that volume could certainly increase in a favorable Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was exposed in every facet by the Ravens in Week 1.

Berrios reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, according to the NFL's official transaction log.

The wide receiver saw action on 12 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in New York's 28-20 win over Dallas on Sunday night, making two fair catches on punts and returning one kickoff for 28 yards. He was elevated for the game primarily to serve as a return specialist. It remains to be seen if Berrios will stay in that role, though he's filled it consistently across an eight-year NFL career.

Waddle brought in one of three targets for two yards in the Broncos' 31-10 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.

Waddle's regular-season Broncos debut was as miserable as his final line suggests, as the prominent offseason addition finished last in receptions and yards among Denver players that recorded at least one catch. One of the two targets Waddle couldn't corral was a key third-down drop early in the third quarter, although he was hardly the only underwhelming component of a pass-catching corps that produced a modest 131 total receiving yards. More productive performances are surely ahead for Waddle and the Broncos' air attack, with the first opportunity for atonement coming in a Week 2 home showdown against the Jaguars on Sunday.

Sanders reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Sanders was elevated to be the starting kicker for the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday. The 30-year-old made three of his four field-goal attempts and both of his PATs, totaling 11 points as he battles Blake Grupe to maintain a role with the team. Sanders made field goals from 33, 51 and 52 yards while missing from 54 yards.

Walker rushed 23 times for 173 yards and a touchdown and brought in three of six targets for 18 yards and another score in the Chiefs' 31-10 win over the Broncos on Monday night.

Walker paid immediate dividends in his Chiefs regular-season debut, finding the end zone via a fourth-down, 60-yard run around left end early in the third quarter before adding a nifty two-yard scoring grab on a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes within the first minute of the final period. Walker also rattled off productive gains on the ground throughout, as he still averaged 5.1 yards per carry on the 22 other rush attempts he logged outside of his explosive scoring scamper. Walker will have a tall order trying to improve on Monday night's career-best rushing yardage tally, but a Week 2 home matchup Sunday night against a Colts defense that was gashed repeatedly by the Ravens' Derrick Henry in Week 1 affords Kansas City's new star back an exceedingly bright outlook.

Donaldson reverted to the Saints' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

The running back was elevated for New Orleans' 31-30 overtime loss to Detroit due to both Alvin Kamara (knee) and Audric Estime (thigh) being out. Donaldson played a third-string role behind Travis Etienne and Kendre Miller, seeing 15 offensive snaps and recording two carries for four yards and one catch for minus-2 yards. The Ohio State product also played 20 snaps on special teams.
