In an exciting early slate of games, rookie wide receivers excelled, with Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Malik Nabers of the New York Giants, and Jalen Coker of the Carolina Panthers all surpassing 20 PPR points.
Meanwhile, fantasy running backs faced chaos as Tyjae Spears, Jerome Ford, and Justice Hill emerged as top performers, while usual starters struggled.
Raheem Mostert returned to the Miami Dolphins as a backup running back, and the team dealt with injuries to key receivers, including Jaylen Waddle and Grant DuBose.
In other matchups, notable performances included Davante Adams and Brian Thomas Jr. for the New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars, respectively, while the Baltimore Ravens' Rashod Bateman made a significant impact.
