Kenneth Gainwell showed Week 1 he can be a meaningful three-down contributor for Pittsburgh, posting four targets and three receptions on a day the Steelers leaned on him in key downs. His Week 2 outlook hinges on sustained passing-down usage and a favorable upcoming matchup, making him a sneaky PPR add in 14+ team leagues.

Brashard Smith flashed occasional big-play ability for Kansas City on returns, but his offensive role remains limited behind Pacheco and Hunt. In deeper dynasty formats he’s worth watching as a taxi-squad stash with upside, while Marks sits in Houston as a long-term draft-piece with a narrow Week 2 window thanks to Mixon’s injury timeline, so redraft value is minimal for now.

Week 1 fantasy snapshot centers on Kaleb Johnson, Tyler Warren, Ashton Jeanty, Woody Marks, Kyle Williams, Ollie Gordon II, Elic Ayomanor, D'Onte Thornton, Luther Burden III and Kyle Monangai. Johnson is a wait‑and‑see rookie behind Warren; Warren is the Week 1 focal point. Jeanty and Marks are depth options to monitor. Williams faces injury notes and uncertain role. Gordon II is the primary Dolphins backup; Ayomanor sits as Titans No. 3 behind Ridley and Lockett. Thornton offers sleeper upside for Raiders; Burden and Monangai provide limited Week 1 usage with Bears.
