Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (undisclosed) converted 13 targets into seven receptions for 110 yards during Thursday's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, he also had four drops, including three on Dallas' final drive of the game. After a brief trip to the medical tent, Lamb emerged and appeared to take responsibility for his late-game miscues. Perhaps the drops can simply be blamed on early-season jitters, as Lamb has a track record of being a top receiver in the NFL. After all, he still managed to post 18 fantasy points in PPR leagues. Managers should remain confident that he'll be a dependable fantasy WR1 going forward.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (back) was not given a game status on the team's final Week 1 injury report despite sitting out Friday's practice. With no injury designation, he is expected to be a full go on Sunday when the Giants open their season against the Commanders. Nabers has experienced minor ailments throughout training camp, and he missed Friday's practice due to back tightness. It appears, though, that the team is taking an extra cautious approach with their Pro Bowl receiver, and all signs point to him getting a full workload on Sunday. Nabers was electric as a rookie, making 109 catches in only 15 games, and reports out of Giants' camp indicate that he hasn't missed a beat with Russell Wilson now under center. Nabers should be started without hesitation, and he has a strong chance of being one of the week's highest scoring receivers.
