- Russell Wilson, QB (Broncos): Wilson completed 69% of his passes for 340 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ loss to his former team on Monday night. The eleven-year veteran had an up-and-down first game as a Bronco but first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett did Russ no favors with some of his play-calling and decision-making.

- Jonathan Taylor, RB (Colts): Taylor picked up where he left off last season, rushing for 161 yards and a touchdown in the Colts’ overtime tie against the Texans. Last year’s rushing yards leader also hauled in four catches for 14 receiving yards in the game.
Who but Jonathan Taylor for our first TD of the year?

- Dare Ogunbowale, RB (Texans): The former walk-on was on the field for 66% of special teams snaps in the Texans’ tie to the Colts.
- Derek Watt, FB (Steelers): The seven-year veteran saw the field for six offensive snaps and also played 69% of special teams snaps for the Steelers in Week 1.
- Alec Ingold, FB (Dolphins): Ingold played 37% of offensive snaps and hauled in one of two targets for eight receiving yards in the Dolphins’ win. The fullback also gained two rushing yards on his only carry of the game.
No surprise here but Alec Ingold’s usage in Week 1 really mirrored that of Kyle Juszczyk in San Fran, like a hybrid tight end. Don’t want to overreact to one game but wouldn’t be surprised to see that continue over 12 personnel w/ Gesicki + Smythe.

On Jason Peters: “We’ll have a spot for him. He can play both tackles. There are all kinds of combinations there.”
- Michael Deiter, C (Dolphins): The former third-round pick logged just four special teams snaps in the Dolphins’ win over the Patriots.

Doctors determined this afternoon that Steelers’ LB T.J. Watt does not surgery on his torn pectoral and he now is expected to miss about six weeks, per source.

Speaks to the camp sixth-round DL Matt Henningsen had that he gets the nod tonight. Teammates say he grasped the playbook immediately. Perhaps not a surprise for a guy who was compared by a scout before the draft to Will Hunting. https://t.co/gJrK1pFPg4
