TD: Wilson’s lone touchdown was a [67-yarder]( to Jerry Jeudy, who finished the game with 4 receptions for 107 yards. Javonte: Wilson’s favored pass-catcher was running back Javonte Williams, who caught 11 of 12 targets for 65 yards. - Williams added 43 yards as a rusher. Though both he and Melvin Gordon lost costly fumbles at the goal line. Controversy: With 20 seconds left in the game and trailing by one, new Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett chose to attempt a 64-yard field goal for the win rather than let Wilson try to convert a 4th-and-5 to put the team in a more manageable range. The field goal was missed, which has since led to the near-universal [bashing]( of Hackett’s decision. Geno: Geno Smith was excellent in a game manager role for the Seahawks, completing 23-of-28 passes for 195 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. Big Injury: Jamal Adams suffered a serious quad injury in the first quarter and is looking at an extended absence. Next Up: Wilson and the Broncos have a nice bounce-back opportunity in Week 2 versus the Texans (0-1). While the Seahawks will travel to San Francisco (0-1). Image: @seahawks on Instagram Mac [Mac Jones] Mac Jones (back spasms) has “a chance” to play in Week 2 Details: The insight comes from Ian Rapoport, who added that initial [X-Rays]( on Jones’ back came back negative. - Jones suffered the injury in the Patriots’ 20-7 loss to the Dolphins. He never left the game. Performance: The 24-year-old quarterback was lackluster against Miami’s stout defense, he completed 21-of-31 passes (67.7%) for 213 yards, 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Next Up: If Jones returns for Week 2, he’ll go up against a Steelers’ defense that just smacked around Joe Burrow (7 sacks, 4 interceptions, 1 fumble lost). More Patriots News... - According to Phil Perry (NBC Sports), there are players in the locker room who want WR Kendrick Bourne to be more involved in the offense — Bourne did not enter the Miami game until the fourth quarter.

[TRY IT]( Bucs [Brady] Chris Godwin and Donovan Smith avoided major injuries; Julio Jones set for an expanded role Godwin: According to Tom Pelissero (NFL Network), Godwin will likely miss “[a few weeks](” with a hamstring strain. Initially, the team thought he may have sustained a more serious tear. - Godwin suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Bucs’ 19-3 win over the Cowboys. - He caught 3 of 3 targets for 35 yards before exiting. WR Depth: Tom Brady’s top targets moving forward will be Mike Evans, Julio Jones, and Russell Gage. Behind them are Breshad Perriman, Jaelon Darden, and Scotty Miller. - Brady showed strong chemistry with Jones against Dallas — the two connected on 3 passes for 69 yards. - According to Next Gen Stats, Jones reached [20.62 mph]( on one of his receptions, which was the third fastest receiver time in Week 1 — behind only Jaylen Waddle (20.8 mph) and Zay Jones (20.64), and ahead of Gabe Davis (20.39) and Tyreek Hill (20.33 mph). Smith: Smith, Brady’s blindside protector, left the game with a hyperextended elbow. According to Todd Bowles, the 29-year-old left tackle could return for the team’s Week 2 matchup against the Saints — if he can tolerate the pain. Wells: Josh Wells earned a solid 75.0 PFF grade in relief of Smith and will start at left tackle if Smith can't play. Image: Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire Under the Radar [Isaiah Pacheco] Under the Radar: Pacheco, Dotson, and Anderson flashed fantasy relevance in Week 1 Isaiah Pacheco: Pacheco, a rookie running back, totaled 62 yards and a touchdown versus the Cardinals. He led the Chiefs in rush attempts, finishing with five more than starter Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Jahan Dotson: Doston, a rookie receiver, caught 3 passes for 40 yards and 2 touchdowns versus the Jaguars. Carson Wentz targeted him five times. - Dotson’s teammate, Curtis Samuel, had an even bigger day — reeling in 8 of 11 targets for 55 yards and 1 touchdown. Robbie Anderson: Anderson was Baker Mayfield’s preferred option versus the Browns — the 29–year-old caught 5 of 8 targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. - Mayfield only connected with D.J. Moore on 3 passes for 43 yards. Image: Scott Winters/Icon Sportswire Together with Stathead Question of the Day Which rookie WR finished with the most Week 1 PPR fantasy points? - Jahan Dotson - Drake London - Kyle Phillips - Garrett Wilson Davis [Jordan Davis] Eagles rookie DT Jordan Davis stood out vs. the Lions Details: With Davis on the field, the Lions gained 41 yards on 14 carries (2.93 ypc). When Davis was off the field, the Lions gained 140 yards on 14 carries (10.0 ypc). Metrics: According to ESPN, Davis had a run-stop win rate of [69.2%](. The next closest defensive lineman (Fletcher Cox) had a 33% rate. Playing Time: Davis played the fewest snaps (22) of the Eagles’ five defensive tackles, a number many fans and analysts want to see increased versus the Vikings next Monday night. - Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison dropped 126 yards on the Packers in Week 1. More Eagles News... - DE Derek Barnett is out of the season with a torn ACL. - Jalen Hurts has a 7-2 record over his last nine starts. Image: Andy Lewis/Icon Sportswire Ravens [Devin Duvernay] Devin Duvernay emerging in Baltimore Details: Duverany caught 4 of 4 targets for 54 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Ravens’ 24-9 victory over the Jets. Not Surprised: After the game, John Harbaugh said of Duvernay: "He came up with plays when we needed plays made. That's what you hope for. We knew it was going to happen… He's been doing it in camp every single day. I don't think any of the players are surprised, coaches. We're just happy to see it in a game." WRs: Duvernay led all Ravens’ receivers in catches, finishing ahead of Rashod Bateman (2 catches for 59 yards) and Demarcus Robinson (2 catches for 19 yards). - Moving forward, Duvernay figures to operate as Lamar Jackson’s third option in the passing game — behind Mark Andrews and Bateman. More Ravens News... - CB Kyle Fuller is out for the season with a torn ACL. - Kenyan Drake played 59% of the team’s running back snaps and will continue to operate as the starter until JK Dobbins returns.
