KaVontae Turpin WR | DAL
Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: One target in loss
Turpin returned five kickoffs for 122 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
Turpin only saw eight offensive snaps on the night, recording his only catch in that small window of opportunity. However, Turpin made his usual impact on special teams, helping the Dallas offense garner solid starting field position all evening.

Nick Muse TE | ATL
Nick Muse: Back to practice squad
Muse reverted to the practice squad with the Falcons on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Muse was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Steelers. The tight end was on the field for five of the team's 60 offensive snaps and he added one tackle on kick coverage while also logging 23 snaps with the special-teams unit. Muse can be elevated two more times before the Falcons would have to officially sign him to the active roster.

Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL
Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: Catches sole target in loss
Mingo caught his sole target for 10 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
Mingo played 11 of 58 offensive snaps and six special-teams snaps in Sunday's contest. The wide receiver seems to be getting mixed in on snaps when CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens or Ryan Flournoy need a break. Mingo remains the fifth option for the Cowboys wide-receiver corps and will likely continue to see minimal opportunities in a highly competitive room.

Luke Schoonmaker TE | DAL
Cowboys' Luke Schoonmaker: Catches one pass
Schoonmaker finished with one catch for 12 yards in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
The tight end played on 13 of 58 offensive snaps and 10 more on special teams. Schoonmaker, now in his fourth NFL season, has 50 career catches in the regular season.

Emari Demercado RB | HOU
Cowboys' Emari Demercado: Two carries in Cowboys debut
Demercado recorded two carries for seven yards in Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
Demercado operated as the team's No. 2 option at running back Week 1 behind starter Javonte Williams, but he was limited to just five snaps on offense in the contest. Demercado was claimed off waivers by Dallas on Aug. 31, and his role could grow as he continues to get more comfortable in the Cowboys offense moving forward, especially with Malik Davis (hip) out for the season.

Brevyn Spann-Ford TE | DAL
Cowboys' Brevyn Spann-Ford: Versatile in Week 1 loss
Spann-Ford caught both of his targets for 14 yards and made one tackle on kick coverage in Sunday's 28-20 loss to the Giants.
Spann-Ford is the No. 2 tight end behind Jake Ferguson, but the secondary option outperformed Ferguson by eight receiving yards in Sunday's contest. Spann-Ford played 13 offensive snaps and 11 special-teams snaps, contributing to the Cowboys in both phases to the start the season.

Dominic Zvada K | NYG
Giants' Dominic Zvada: Four PATs in debut
Zvada made all four of his PATs and attempted no field goals in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.
Zvada displayed consistency as he knocked in all four point-after tries during his NFL debut. The kicker has yet to be tested from any range, however, and it remains unclear how the undrafted rookie out of Michigan will handle the longer challenges he will face in the NFL.

Hunter Luepke RB | DAL
Cowboys' Hunter Luepke: One carry in Week 1
Luepke turned his only carry into a seven-yard gain during Sunday night's 28-20 loss to New York.
Luepke operated in his typical role as the team's starting fullback, seeing action for 15 of the team's 58 total offensive snaps. The 26-year-old also was on the field for nine snaps on special teams in contest. Luepke is a far more valuable real-life football player than he is a fantasy asset.

Will Shipley RB | PHI
Eagles' Will Shipley: Gets on stat sheet
Shipley recorded two carries for four yards, one catch for eight yards, one kickoff return for 25 yards and one tackle on punt coverage in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.
The running back actually got more carries than fellow backup Tank Bigsby, but Saquon Barkley unsurprisingly saw the vast majority of work out of Philadelphia's backfield. Shipley can contribute in multiple ways, but he is not a fantasy-relevant running back at this point.
-
Jake Elliott K | PHI
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Perfect in close win
Elliott made his sole field-goal attempt and converted all three of his PATs in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Commanders.
Elliott made a 35-yard field goal and provided the consistency that Washington's Drew Stevens could not on PATs, something that ultimately decided the game in the Eagles' favor. The kicker heads into Week 2 without being tested from range, and it remains to be seen how the 31-year-old will fare on 50-yarders or more in 2026.
