Ja'Marr Chase
CIN (at PIT)
In the passing game, Ja'Marr Chase was Burrow's most reliable target, catching 6 of 6 passes for 62 yards, with 24 yards after the catch (YAC), leading the team with a 21% target share. He ran a route on 89% of dropbacks a slight dip from last season. Makes sense given his missed time this offseason. The Bengals are notorious for starting slow in September, so I'd buy low on their No. 1 WR after a disastrous Week 1 contest. This was Chase's first action in awhile and he didn't kill lineups despite the concerns about his availability.

Cooper Kupp
LAR (vs . SEA)
In the passing game, Cooper Kupp was the focal point, receiving a whopping 21 targets (43% target share), catching 14 passes for 110 yards and a touchdown (158 air yards and 54% air yards share). He played nearly every snap running a route on 98% of the dropbacks while commanding three red-zone targets. With Puka Nacua out, Kupp is slated for a billion targets. But how sustainable are 20-plus targets per game for a 31-year-old WR. Not to mention, Nacua will likely return at some point and the Rams OL is dealing with major injuries. At this moment, Kupp's value may never be higher. Sell for the farm.

Rashee Rice
KC (at DEN)
Rashee Rice emerged as Mahomes' top target in Week 1, catching 7 of 9 targets for 103 yards, with an impressive 78 YAC. The second-year WR commanded a 32% target share while commanding all the short-underneath targets from Mahomes. Hard to see him not leading the Chiefs in all receiving categories for the 2024 season.

Nico Collins
HOU (at TEN)
Nico Collins led the way with 6 catches on 8 targets (25% target share) for 117 yards, including 18 yards after the catch (YAC). Posted a team-high 27% target rate while finishing third in routes run (84%). Also led the Texans in air yards at 130 and air yards share (49%).
What I might have overlooked in my Collins fade this offseason was the fact that he actually broke last season. Again, he was being drafted behind players that were all projection. Collins certainly had ambiguity regarding targets etc. but I'm not sure how much more of the talent we need to see from him to be convinced he's just going to be a great WR in this offense. He's a human highlight-reel. Consider this stat from Next Gen Stats: Stroud's 55-yard pass to Nico Collins had a completion probability of 16.6%, Stroud's most improbable completion his NFL career. I'm sure Collins won't always be the most consistent receiver in the Texans offense, but he the highs he can deliver (like Week 1) make it worth it. Buy high. |

Jayden Reed
GB (vs . CHI)
Jordan Love is expected to miss somewhere between 3-4 weeks, as the Packers did not put him on IR. However, LeFleur isn't ruling him out of this week, although this seems like just gamesmanship than anything set in reality. Malik Willis will start in his place. Willis joined the Packers on August 26th in a trade for a 7th-round pick. Love's go-to receiver in Week 1 was Jayden Reed, who was explosive throughout the game. Reed caught 4 of 6 targets for 138 yards, including a massive 57 yards after the catch (YAC) and a highlight-reel 33-yard touchdown. Reed showed his versatility, adding a 33-yard run for a touchdown on his only rushing attempt. Reed commanded over 100 air yards and ran a route on 73% of the dropbacks. As for what managers need to do in the Packers QB situation.... For me, it's still to buy Reed. Through Week 1, he leads the NFL in receiving yards (not counting MNF). Not saying this is sustainable, but it's just a reminder of how great Reed is as a player. He is the "scheme touch" player in the Packers offense. I'm less concerned about his production with a backup QB. He might not even have to be someone you need to start anyway. The Love injury has opened a buying window for Reed. Take advantage.
