DK Metcalf, Ja'Marr Chase, and Romeo Doubs aim to improve after lackluster performances in Week 1 of the NFL season. Metcalf caught four passes for 40 yards, while Chase managed only two receptions for 12 yards against tough defenses. Doubs, signed to a lucrative contract by New England, failed to register a catch in his debut. Each player faces challenges in Week 2, with Metcalf up against a strong defense and Doubs needing to step up in the absence of A.J. Brown, who is sidelined with an injury.
- •Metcalf received 10 targets but caught only four passes.
- •Chase was quiet in Week 1, finishing with two catches.
- •Doubs must improve after having no catches in his season debut.
- •A.J. Brown's injury increases pressure on Doubs.
- •All three players need more involvement moving forward.
