All saw 20 offensive snaps but didn't get a target during Sunday's 33-27 win over the Buccaneers.

The 2024 fourth-round pick operated as the third tight end behind Drew Sample (41 snaps) and Mike Gesicki (21 snaps). All made 20 catches as a rookie two years ago before missing the 2025 campaign with a right knee injury. He doesn't seem like much of a factor in the passing game for the time being.

Jennings did not bring in his lone target during the Vikings' 39-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Kyler Murray's first pass attempt of the game was to Jennings, resulting in a Keisean Nixon interception that led to a 59-yard field goal from Trey Smack six plays later. Jennings didn't see another pass the rest of the way, even after Carson Wentz took over as the Vikings' QB for Murray after the latter left the game due to a concussion. Jennings' 31 snaps on offense were third most among wide receivers behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, but the lack of offensive output from Jennings was disappointing given the solid production he had with the 49ers in 2024 and 2025. He'll look for better results in the Vikings' Week 2 clash Sept. 20 against a Bears defense that gave up 361 passing yards to Bryce Young in a 59-37 Week 1 win.

TeSlaa failed to haul in his only target during Detroit's overtime win over the Saints on Sunday.

TeSlaa played 52 of the team's 77 offensive snaps but was still the only Lions player who didn't record any receptions, among those who were targeted. The 2025 third-round pick had a promising rookie campaign, catching 16 passes for 239 yards and six touchdowns despite limited usage, but he is coming off a disappointing training camp. TeSlaa will look to improve upon his performance during the Week 2 matchup against the Bills.

Saylors made one special-teams tackle and returned two kickoffs for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against the Saints.

Saylors saw no offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, taking all 24 of his reps with the special-teams unit. Saylors made one tackle on kick coverage and had two short returns in the game, taking on most of the grunt work as the Lions' offense burned bright without him.

Vaki turned two carries into seven yards while also reeling in his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 31-30 overtime win against New Orleans.

Vaki operated as the Lions' No. 2 option running back in Week 1 behind starter Jahmyr Gibbs, but he didn't really have much of an impact over his 22 offensive snaps. The running back also logged 24 snaps on special teams in the victory. Gibbs will likely continue to dominate the touches in the backfield while Isiah Pacheco (back) is on injured reserve, leaving Vaki as an unappealing fantasy option.

Sample caught all three of his targets for 19 yards during Sunday's 33-27 win versus the Buccaneers.

Sample was on the field for 42 of Cincinnati's 64 offensive snaps in Week 1, easily pacing Bengals tight ends in playing time. He has never been a truly explosive pass-catching threat, but a sustained high catch rate and regular playing time should keep him in the mix in a crowded passing attack.

Fitzgerald made four of his five PATs and converted his sole field-goal attempt in Sunday's 59-37 loss to the Bears.

Fitzgerald's 44-yard field goal was his only challenge of the night, and the kicker was up to it. Where the 26-year-old shrunk was in his consistency, with an 80 percent PAT conversion rate that pales in comparison to opposing kicker Cairo Santos' flawless night, despite the latter being asked to kick eight PATs.

Brooks turned seven carries into 29 yards and failed to haul in his lone target during the Packers' 39-22 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

With Josh Jacobs (personal) on the Commissioner's Exempt List to open the season, the Packers went with a one-two punch of Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd in the backfield. Brooks' 38 snaps on offense were ahead of Lloyd (30), though the latter led all Packers running backs with 13 carries for 37 yards. Neither RB managed to get anything going in the passing game, so the Packers may just ride the hot hand on a game-to-game basis while Jacobs is sidelined. The Packers will stay on the road for their Week 2 matchup against the Jets on Sept. 20.

Legette failed to haul in either of his targets and returned two kickoffs for 51 yards during Carolina's loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Legette had a quiet outing despite playing 36 of the team's 68 snaps. The 2024 first-round pick will look to be more involved offensively during next week's game against the Falcons but will most likely continue to see the majority of his production come on special teams unless either Tetairoa McMillan or Jalen Coker is forced to miss time.

Bech caught three of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown Sunday in a 27-13 win over Miami.

Bech logged just 27 of Las Vegas' 68 offensive snaps, but his 3-23-1 line on four targets was very similar to that of fellow wideouts Tre Tucker (3-27-0 on four targets) and Jalen Nailor (3-27-0 on five targets). Bech had by far the biggest impact, however, thanks to his 15-yard TD reception in the first quarter. QB Kirk Cousins leaned the most on running back Ashton Jeanty (6-45-2 line on six targets) and tight end Michael Mayer (6-32-0 on seven targets) through the air, but his near-even distribution of targets among the team's wideouts is a good sign for Bech's potential to grow within the offense. The Raiders' WR corps doesn't have a clear-cut No. 1 option, so Bech has a chance to push for an increased role with a strong start to the campaign.
