Summary
150 receiving yards and a touchdown put Zay Flowers atop PFF’s grades from the first 15 completed Week 1 games, with the Ravens wideout catching five of six targets.
13.64 yards per route run and 83 yards after the catch drove that top mark, and all five of his receptions produced either a first down or a score.
Several other pass-catchers also graded highly: Seattle’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba had 122 yards and a touchdown, Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid posted 130 yards, and Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson scored twice.
Week 1’s top individual grades extended beyond receivers, with Chicago’s D’Andre Swift earning a 90.9 rushing grade on 124 yards and three touchdowns, while Pittsburgh’s T.J. Watt logged two sacks despite double teams on half his rushes.
