Amari Cooper

CLE Wide Receiver #2

Amari Cooper caught 2-of-10 targets for 16 yards in the Browns’ Week 1 loss against the Cowboys.

No NFL wideout ran more routes (57) than Cooper on Sunday; his ten targets led the team. His inefficiency was par for the course in a Cleveland offense that was dysfunctional from the start. Cooper was open a few times in the second half but a constantly-pressured Deshaun Watson didn’t see him (along with other open pass catchers). Watson hit Cooper’s fingertips in the fourth quarter on what would have been a long touchdown. Cooper will be a top-15 option in Week 2 against the Jaguars.
Joe Noteboom

LAR Tackle #70

Rams OT Joe Noteboom was carted to the locker room in the second quarter of the Rams’ Week 1 game against the Lions.

No word on when the injury occurred or what the ailment is, but the veteran tackle was carted to the locker room for further examination in the second quarter of the team’s Week 1 game against the Lions. Expect further update to follow.
Audric Estime

DEN Running Back #23

Audric Estime rushed two times for 14 yards in the Broncos’ Week 1 loss to the Seahawks.

On Estime’s first attempt, the rookie tailback ran for 12 yards, attempted to leap over a defender, and fumbled. The Broncos did recover the gaffe, but Estime received just one more touch while Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin saw the overwhelming majority of the touches and snaps. Estime is a potential long-term play, but shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups for Week 2 versus the Steelers.
Ezekiel Elliott

DAL Running Back #15

Ezekiel Elliott had ten rushes for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys’ Week 1 win against the Browns, adding two catches for nine yards.

Rico Dowdle, meanwhile, saw eight carries, with half of those coming in the fourth quarter while the Cowboys bled the clock with a big lead. Zeke ran 13 pass routes and two targets on the day while Dowdle had 11 and had one look. It looks like, for now, Elliott is the preferred option in the red zone, which will matter quite a bit for a high-octane Dallas offense. Elliott should be in play as a flex in Week 2 against the Saints.
Jerome Ford

CLE Running Back #34

Jerome Ford had 12 rushes for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Browns’ Week 1 loss against the Cowboys, adding six catches for 25 yards.

No other Cleveland back saw more than two carries on the day. Ford operated as the clear No. 1 backfield option and benefited from four quarters of negative game script as the main pass catcher out of the backfield. Jerry Jeudy and Amari Cooper were the only Browns players who out-targeted Ford on the day. He should regularly be in the 15-20 touch range for as long as Nick Chubb (knee) is on the PUP list. He’ll face a middling Jaguars defense in Week 2.
Cade Otton

TB Tight End #88

Cade Otton caught 1-of-2 targets for five yards in a Week 1 win over the Commanders.

Otton was a non-factor in a game the Bucs controlled, but the tight end also finds himself in a crowded offense that might not have space for him. Chris Godwin is now operating full-time in the slot, which takes away a lot of Otton’s over-the-middle targets, and both Jalen McMillan and Trey Palmer are getting on the field more as young receivers. With Rachaad White and Bucky Irving also strong pass-catchers, there just might not be enough to go around for Otton, so he can be left on waiver wires in fantasy leagues.
Ja'Tavion Sanders

CAR Tight End #0

Ja’Tavion Sanders caught his only target for four yards in the Panthers’ Week 1 loss to the Saints.

Sanders got the start with Tommy Tremble out for this game and easily played more snaps than backup tight end Jordan Matthews. He simply couldn’t command targets with four Carolina receivers seeing at least four looks. Given the dismal state of the Panthers’ passing attack, Sanders isn’t on the fantasy radar heading into Week 2.
Jalen McMillan

TB Wide Receiver #15

Jalen McMillan caught 1-of-3 targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 win over the Commanders.

McMillan also had another pass go off his outstretched hands on what could have, and probably should have, been a 30-yard touchdown. The rookie is the clear third receiver in Tampa Bay, and Baker Mayfield had no problem looking for him down the field. With the Bucs struggling to run the ball, and Chris Godwin now operating full-time in the slot, McMillan could have some big games on the outside for Tampa Bay and should be on the radar in deeper formats.
Adam Thielen

CAR Wide Receiver #19

Adam Thielen caught 3-of-4 targets for 49 yards in the Panthers’ Week 1 loss to the Saints.

Thielen’s 49 receiving yards inexplicably led the Panthers. However, he ranked fourth on the team in targets with a 13 percent target share. That number was at 26 percent in 2023. The one-two punch of Thielen’s target share taking a dive and Young seemingly making no progress from his disastrous rookie season will likely remove Thielen from the fantasy menu. Fantasy managers should keep him on the bench for Carolina’s Week 2 matchup with the Chargers.
Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Mike Evans caught 5-of-6 targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 1 win over the Commanders.

Evans has been Mr. Consistent in his career, and he’s starting on the right track here as well. The Commanders’ defense seems to be a bit leaky, but Evans used his size and strong hands to make tough catches and was left fairly wide open for his touchdowns as well. The Bucs did take some deep shots with rookie Jalen McMillan and Chris Godwin appears to be healthy, so there is competition for targets here, but Evans always seems to get his.
