Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Josh Cameron recorded two catches for 20 yards on two targets, including his first career NFL touchdown, in Sunday's 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The sixth-round draft pick secured the milestone reception—which doubled as quarterback Trevor Lawrence's 100th career touchdown pass—while establishing an immediate rotational role in the offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence completed 18 of 23 passes for 245 yards and four touchdowns with zero interceptions in a 34-10 Week 1 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Lawrence led scoring drives on Jacksonville's first four possessions to build a 24-0 halftime cushion. He reached his 100th career touchdown pass on a strike to rookie Josh Cameron and added TDs to Parker Washington, Brenton Strange, and Jakobi Meyers.
Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty recorded 147 total yards and two touchdowns in a 27-13 season-opening win against Miami. Jeanty rushed 23 times for 102 yards (4.4 YPC) and caught all six of his targets for 45 yards, catching two 13-yard touchdown passes from Kirk Cousins. Bouncing back from a rough rookie season and an offseason ankle injury, Jeanty efficiently anchored head coach Klint Kubiak's new offensive scheme despite tight end Brock Bowers missing the contest.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 40 passes for 221 yards and a six-yard touchdown to Pat Freiermuth with zero interceptions in Sunday's 20-13 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Kicking off his final NFL season, Rodgers was sacked twice and completed just one pass over 20 yards. Following the efficient performance, he awarded head coach Mike McCarthy a game ball for his 175th career win.
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks rushed nine times for 42 yards (4.7 YPC) and caught one target for a two-yard loss in a 36-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Marks split backfield work evenly with veteran David Montgomery, actually out-snapping him 40 to 39 and running 20 routes to Montgomery's 14, establishing immediate standalone fantasy value in his debut.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught two of four targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 41-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite placing fourth on the team in targets, Downs logged a team-high 32 routes on Daniel Jones' 34 dropbacks (93.8% route participation) while operating out of the slot on 78.8% of plays, signalling an every-down role ahead of Week 2 against Kansas City.
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught four of nine targets for 55 yards and a 10-yard touchdown from Jayden Daniels in a 24-22 loss to Philadelphia. Diggs led the team in targets but drew a crucial 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for hugging the goalpost during his celebration. The penalty backed up Washington for the extra point attempt instead of a potential game-tying two-point try, for which Diggs took full responsibility.
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 27-13 Week 1 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Cousins opened the game 9-for-9, connecting with Jack Bech for a 15-yard TD before later hitting Ashton Jeanty for two 13-yard scoring passes. The effort marked his 301st career TD pass, moving him past John Elway for 14th all-time.
New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq scored a three-yard rushing touchdown on a jet sweep during the opening drive of Sunday's 23-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Sadiq added three receptions for 21 yards, finishing with 11.4 PPR points. The first-round draft pick became just the sixth rookie tight end drafted in the first round to notch 10 PPR points in a Week 1 debut since 2006.
Miami Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis completed 15 of 27 passes for 200 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Raiders. Willis added 39 rushing yards and a 14-yard touchdown run on six carries but lost a fumble. He struggled late, gaining just 49 net yards over Miami's final five drives while operating behind an inexperienced receiving corps.
Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray was ruled out of Sunday's Week 1 game against Green Bay after sustaining a concussion on a late hit during a first-quarter scramble. In his Minnesota debut, Murray struggled prior to exiting, throwing an interception on his initial pass attempt and completing 3 of 5 passes for 18 yards alongside nine rushing yards. Backup Carson Wentz replaced him, leaving Murray's status uncertain for Week 2 against Chicago.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden caught six of 12 targets for 95 yards in a 39-22 loss to the Vikings. Golden led Green Bay in routes (40) and target share (28.6%), serving as Jordan Love's primary target out wide as the Packers attempted 42 passes while chasing points.
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels completed 18 of 34 passes for 164 yards and two late fourth-quarter touchdowns while rushing for 31 yards in a 24-22 loss to Philadelphia. Daniels took responsibility for a costly celebration penalty by Stefon Diggs that forced an extra point over a two-point attempt, and he later stood by the play-call on a failed late two-point shovel pass with 1:01 remaining.
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride caught nine of 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in a 26-14 victory over the Chargers. McBride led Arizona across all receiving categories and hauled in a critical three-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter to extend the Cardinals' lead.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah rushed four times for 32 yards and caught his lone target for zero yards in Sunday's 34-10 Week 1 win over the Cleveland Browns. Abdullah served in a complementary rotational role behind lead back Bhayshul Tuten, providing efficient yardage on limited ground touches.
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten rushed 15 times for 66 yards and caught his lone target for a 22-yard gain in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns. Tuten easily led Jacksonville's backfield in carries, out-touching backfield mates Chris Rodriguez Jr. (six carries, 23 yards) and Ameer Abdullah (four carries, 32 yards) to solidify his status as the primary ground option.
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 17 of 25 passes for 324 yards and a touchdown while rushing seven times for 40 yards and a score in a 41-23 Week 1 victory over Indianapolis. Jackson opened scoring with a five-yard run and later hit Zay Flowers for a 54-yard touchdown pass. Averaging 13.0 yards per attempt in new OC Declan Doyle's scheme, Jackson logged his first 300-yard passing game since 2024.
Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun logged a game-high 12 tackles, two passes defensed, and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 24-22 win over Washington. Baun was named Tom Brady's LFG Player of the Game postgame for anchor performance, helping Philadelphia contain Jayden Daniels and secure an NFC East victory.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 23 of 28 passes for 216 yards and rushed five times for 30 yards and a touchdown, but lost a career-high three fumbles and threw an interception in a 33-27 Week 1 loss to Cincinnati. Days after signing a $55 million annual extension, Mayfield surrendered a first-quarter strip-sack returned for a TD and struggled to generate deep pass completions.
