Week 1 stats: 51 rushing yards, three receptions, 18 receiving yards, one touchdown — 15.9 fantasy points

One thing to know: The extent of Leonard Fournette's injury is still unclear, but even if he does suit up for the Jaguars Week 2 matchup against the Patriots, it's reasonable to assume his workload might be lightened. In his stead, TJ Yeldon could shine as Jacksonville's primary back, at least for the near future.

Week 1 stats: 71 rushing yards, two receptions, 31 receiving yards, one touchdown — 18.2 fantasy points

One thing to know: Royce Freeman was highly touted as the centerpiece of the Broncos rushing attack coming into the year, but wound up splitting carries evenly with Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay was also involved in the Broncos passing game, which can be a boon in PPR leagues.

Week 1 stats: Three receptions, 46 receiving yards, one touchdown — 13.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: It wasn't clear that Brandon Marshall would even make the Seahawks roster heading into the 2018 season, but on Sunday he emerged as a reliable target for Russell Wilson. He might be a boom-or-bust player in your lineups, but Marshall has proven before he can be an elite fantasy player.

Week 1 stats: Five receptions, 68 receiving yards, one touchdown — 20.3 fantasy points

One thing to know: Every fantasy player has owned Ted Ginn Jr. at some point in their life, but this year might be a good year to at least stash him on your roster for bye weeks. Michael Thomas will always be Drew Brees' first target, but he spreads the ball around enough for Ginn to shine a few times this year.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 4.7%

Week 1 stats: Seven receptions, 66 receiving yards, one touchdown — 19.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: Tom Brady can make almost any wide receiver playable, and on Sunday, Phillip Dorsett emerged as one of his favorite targets alongside tight end Rob Gronkowski. Pick him up now because he'll likely be gone if he has another big day in Week 2.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 9.2%

Week 1 stats: Five receptions, 69 receiving yards, one touchdown — 17.9 fantasy points

One thing to know: Despite Aaron Rodgers missing almost a full quarter of the game, wide receiver Geronimo Allison made an impression on fantasy players during the Packers' comeback win over the Bears. With Jordy Nelson now gone, Rodgers is still in the market for a new favorite target.

Week 1 stats: Three receptions, 105 receiving yards, one touchdown — 19.5 points

One thing to know: If you waited on a tight end and didn't like whichever player you wound up with, Will Dissly is available in literally 99.9% of leagues right now, and got a solid five targets from Russell Wilson in the first game of his NFL career.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 37.2%

Week 1 stats: Five receptions, 90 yards receiving — 14 fantasy points

One thing to know: George Kittle lead the 49ers in targets in their season opener, and was among the top-scoring tight ends in fantasy despite failing to find the end zone. With Marquise Goodwin's status up in the air, Kittle is well positioned to be a big part of the San Francisco offense.

ESPN fantasy ownership: 0.9%

Week 1 stats: 20 points against, three interceptions, one touchdown — 12 fantasy points

One thing to know: While you don't want to read too much into a game that was interrupted twice by long lightning delays, the Dolphins defense forced three takeaways against the Titans, and have a matchup with the Jets set for next week. Depending on how the Jets offense looks against the Lions, Miami might be an interesting option for players looking to stream a defense.
