Arizona Cardinals
Trey McBride finished second among tight ends in targets (nine).
He also finished second in:
McBride played an elite role in Week 1 but PFF deemed just 56 percent of his targets as catchable. Better days are ahead for him as long as Kyler Murray starts playing better.

Atlanta Falcons
Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Kyle Pitts all ran 100 percent of the Falcons’ routes.
Here’s the kicker: Ray-Ray McCloud saw twice as many targets as any of them on nine fewer routes. Kirk Cousins struggled in his Atlanta debut, struggling to put any speed behind the football on far too many throws. The route rates for Atlanta’s top pass-catchers were all promising, but we need to see more from Cousins or Michael Penix may end up making an early debut.
Baltimore Ravens
Justice Hill led all running backs in targets (eight)
Hill out-snapped Derrick Henry 43-37 and ran 28 routes compared to Henry’s 14. We saw this same dynamic play out between Henry and Tyjae Spears in Tennessee last year. On the other hand, even in a down year for his lofty standards, Henry still dominated in the Titans’ six wins.

Luckily for Henry, he will be favored in far more games with Baltimore. The Ravens are 9.5-point favorites against the Raiders this week. Big dog gonna eat.

Buffalo Bills
Keon Coleman led the Bills with 27 routes
He ran a route on 90 percent of Josh Allen’s dropbacks. No Buffalo receiver, including Coleman, separated themselves as the clear top target in Week 1. However, if the unknown rookie is running the most routes and his quarterback is Josh Allen, he strikes me as a clear buy.
Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt…
