Ehlinger (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Broncos' emergency third quarterback against the Chiefs on Monday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Jarrett Stidham will serve as the Broncos' backup behind Bo Nix this season. As the emergency third quarterback, Ehlinger is not allowed to play Monday unless both Nix and Stidham were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection.

Ridley played 32 offensive snaps and did not show up in the box score otherwise during the Titans' 23-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Ridley had the third-most snaps among Titans wide receivers behind Carnell Tate (44) and Wan'Dale Robinson (41), though Ridley didn't end up seeing a single target from quarterback Cam Ward during Sunday's loss. Ridley restructured his contract in mid-March after playing in only seven regular-season games in 2025, but it looks like the veteran wide receiver might be an afterthought in the Titans offense. He'll look for better results in Tennessee's Week 2 clash against Philadelphia on Sept. 20.

Taylor caught two of three targets for minus-2 yards in the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Taylor got the start at tight end and played 44 of 67 offensive snaps. He ran 16 routes on Geno Smith's 26 dropbacks but had a laughable zero-yard average depth of target, giving him no chance to produce much in the box score. Taylor has next to no fantasy value in the Jets' low-volume passing offense that will feature Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall first and foremost.

Mitchell caught all three of his passes for 60 yards during the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Mitchell connected with Geno Smith on a 40-yard pass early in the third quarter to set the Jets up in the red zone, leading to a Breece Hall four-yard touchdown run two plays later. Mitchell's catch was the longest play of the game for the Jets, and that deep-threat ability is a big reason why New York acquired him from Indianapolis last November. Mitchell's 46 snaps on offense were second-most among Jets wide receivers behind Garrett Wilson (50), though the former's extended playing time was partially due to an ankle injury that ended Omar Cooper's day early. The Jets will welcome in the Packers for Week 2 on Sept. 20.

Williams caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Titans.

There was some buzz during the summer that Williams had passed first-round rookie Omar Cooper on the depth chart. Cooper ended up playing more with the offense to begin the Jets' Week 1 game against Tennessee, but he suffered a sprained ankle at the end of a 30-yard catch in the first quarter, allowing Williams to soak up more playing time behind Garrett Wilson and Adonai Mitchell. Williams played 40 of 67 offensive snaps but was targeted on just one of his 19 routes.

Allen rushed 10 times for 40 yards in the Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.

Allen failed to secure his lone target in the pass game. With Breece Hall past his groin issue, he operated as the clear RB1 in a workhorse role, rushing 22 times for 102 yards and one touchdown while adding two catches for 16 yards. Hall out-snapped Allen 39 to 27, cementing the former as an RB2 with RB1 upside for fantasy, especially if the Jets can get into positive game scripts like they had in Tennessee on Sunday. Allen is an upper-tier fantasy bench stash at the position.

Washington caught both of his targets for 18 yards during the Steelers' 20-13 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Washington was listed as a co-starter alongside Pat Freiermuth on Sunday, though the former didn't see a target from Aaron Rodgers until the second half. Freiermuth led all Steelers tight ends with 49 snaps on offense, though Washington wasn't far behind (43) and figures to be regularly involved in 12 personnel. The Steelers hit the road for a Week 2 clash against the Patriots on Sept. 20.

Dotson caught one of three targets for 19 yards in Atlanta's 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

Dotson acted as the clear WR2 behind Drake London, out-snapping rookie Zachariah Branch 38 to 18. Olamide Zaccheaus also played 18 offensive snaps. Dotson ran 19 routes to Zaccheaus' nine and Branch's six. None of these three figure to have any consistent fantasy viability as long as all three of London, Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson are healthy.

Allen played one offensive snap and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

The 2025 seventh-rounder was cleared to play Week 1 after being limited by a hip injury, but he was an afterthought in the Jaguars backfield behind Bhayshul Tuten (28 snaps), Chris Rodriguez (23) and Ameer Abdullah (five). Perhaps the hip was still an issue for Allen, but he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense unless Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss time.

Cameron caught both of his targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

The sixth-round rookie wideout played well ahead of Travis Hunter, out-snapping him by a 19-4 margin behind the Jaguars' top trio of Parker Washington, Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers at wideout. Cameron ended up catching Trevor Lawrence's second touchdown, a four-yard score toward the end of the first quarter. Cameron would appear to have the lead for WR4 duties in Jacksonville.
