Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks finished second on the team with five targets, catching three of them for 55 yards. He was targeted once deep, drawing a pass interference call, and was also targeted in the end zone.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster appears to have the early lead for the No. 1 receiver role in KC based on Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He led the team's wideouts in targets with eight, hauling in six of them for 79 yards. The breakdown of how passes would be spread out in... Read More

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler handled 14 carries for 36 yards, adding four receptions for 36 yards on four targets in the team's Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Robert Woods Sees Two Targets In Loss
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods saw just two targets against the Giants, good for fifth on the Tennessee offense. He scored just 2.3 fantasy points in PPR leagues on one catch for 13 yards. This is a concerning development considering he was expected to be the clear No. 1 in the Ryan Tannehill offense.... Read More
Travis Kelce Comes Up Big
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set a new record for 100-yard receiving games for a TE in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, finishing with 121 yards on eight catches.

Dontrell Hilliard Catches Two Touchdowns In Week 1
Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard only touched the ball five times in the loss to the New York Giants but tallied three catches, 69 total yards, and two receiving touchdowns. He should now be on the fantasy radar, but the volume wasn't strong enough to overreact to the touchdowns. RB-needy fantasy managers might want... Read More
Kirk Cousins Throws For 277 Yards In Week 1 Win
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 23-of-32 passes for 277 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers.

Taysom Hill Leads Saints In Rushing Yards
New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill was productive with his touches in the 27-26 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran had caught his only target for two yards in the game.

Daniel Jones Efficient In Week 1 Win
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones completed 17 of his 21 attempts for 188 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. The former first-round pick was under duress for the majority of Week 1 as he was sacked five times. The 25-year-old quarterback wasn't asked to throw the ball... Read More
Derrick Henry Has Unproductive Week 1
Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry posted just 82 rushing yards on 21 attempts, and once again proved to be a "zero" in the receiving game. He failed to find the end zone, so this will go down as a "bust" week for the two-time rushing champion. He usually takes time to heat up, but... Read More
Chris Olave Limited Against The Falcons
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave was limited in the Week 1 comeback victory over the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wide receiver had only three targets in the game.

Justin Jefferson Goes Off With 184 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson had a monster performance in Week 1, putting up nine receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns. The third-year stud was highly efficient in this one, as he caught nine of his 11 targets and averaged 20.4 yards per catch. Playing in the offensive system that turned Cooper Kupp... Read More
Ryan Tannehill Throws Two Touchdowns In Loss
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 20 of his 33 passing attempts for 266 yards and two touchdowns. He posted 23.34 fantasy points, good for a QB10 finish before Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football.

Jarvis Landry Has Team-High Seven Receptions
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry was very productive in his team debut. He had seven receptions on nine targets for 114 yards, all team-highs.

Russell Gage Will Play On Sunday Night
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (hamstring) will play on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Gage had been questionable heading into this one.

Kyle Rudolph Inactive Versus Dallas
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Kyle Rudolph is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Dallas. The Bucs are high on Cameron Brate and Cade Otton, so both men figure to get some targets from Tom Brady in the opener. Unfortunately for them, Chris Godwin (knee) is active, so their outlook for Week 1 isn't as bright... Read More
Alvin Kamara Quiet In Week 1
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was disappointing in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran running back had only nine rushing attempts for 39 yards in the win.
