Just as we all expected, the leading receiver in Arizona with DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore out was. Shepard is the much more attractive option here, since we've seen him be fantasy relevant before, but I don't hate grabbing James in deeeep leagues as well. Kadarius Toney truthers (like me) were met with a big helping of mashed disappointment in Week 1 that looked oddly like an amorphous mix of Giants receivers Sterling Shepard and Richie James. Jones will likely be unreliable at best, but nine targets simply can't be ignored. Zay Jones finished with six catches and 65 yards on nine targets for the Jaguars in Week 1 (tied with Christian Kirk for most snags on the team).

Mac Jones is likely going to be peppering Meyers throughout the season, making him a decent FLEX option in PPR. The Patriots did not look great in Week 1, but leading receiver Jakobi Meyers looked solid and - more importantly - necessary. Guys to 'Stache: There was a whisper of hype around Titans rookie wideout Kyle Philips (fifth-round pick out of UCLA) in the offseason, but after leading the team in targets (nine), receptions (six) and receiving yards (66) in Week 1, the hype is reaching murmur status. Oh, and just in case Kyle pulls any Shanahanigans in San Francisco (see what I did there?), Jordan Mason is a name to monitor as a potential alternative to Jeff Wilson Jr. Nyheim Hines caught all six of his targets for 50 receptions in Week 1 (adding three carries for only 4 yards), reminding us that he is a legitimate PPR option in deeper leagues. He played 38% of snaps (to Devin Singletary's 59%), and while Singletary looked like the most effective runner, it appears the Bills might have interest in involving Moss in the (extremely productive) passing game. the Rams (on six targets) and added six carries to boot. Believe it or not, Zack Moss snagged six receptions vs. As uninspiring and anti- Dameon-Pierce as this may be (to my own chagrin), Burkhead is the clear-cut leader in passing situations and will likely continue to split the early-down work as well. Rex Burkhead logged 19 touches (22 opportunities, including eight targets) in Week 1 and managed 70 total yards against the Colts defense.

He's worth 'stache-ing as a handcuff to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, but that's it. Guys to 'Stache: What on earth is Isiah Pacheco doing in the "Guys to 'Stache" and not at the top of this article?! Did I not see his late-game touchdown?! Yes, I did, and the key phrase there is "late-game." Pacheco played 4 of 56 snaps in the first three quarters and only became relevant in garbage time.
