Tyler Warren caught seven passes for 76 yards on a 31% target share, which Pete Nova calls "absolutely insane" for a rookie tight end.

1. Top-10 Takeaways, hosted by Pete Nova of Player Profiler, counts down 10 Week 1 fantasy football takeaways, covering injuries, running back workloads and breakout pass catchers. 2. Nova hosts alone and fills the weekly slot that Matt, "the pod father," has moved away from, and he takes live chat questions in the final stretch. 3. His central claim is that opportunity data from one week, such as Chase Brown's 92.3% opportunity share and seven running backs at 81.8% or higher, should shape start and waiver decisions. 4. On injuries, he reports that running backs stayed healthy while Xavier Worthy's dislocated shoulder likely means surgery, and he doubts Evan Ingram plays in Week 2. 5. He says Travis Etienne posted 19 touches, 156 total yards and 18.6 PPR points under Liam Cohen, and that Tank Bigsby "doesn't really fit this offense very well." 6. He calls Emeka Egbuka the Buccaneers' top target after six targets, 76 yards, two touchdowns including the game winner, and 23.6 fantasy points, with 30 snaps out wide and 24 in the slot. 7. He says Dylan Sampson led the Browns backs with 20 touches and a 66.7% opportunity share, and that Tyler Warren's seven catches on a 31% target share make him a Week 2 start against Denver. 8. He ranks Brenton Strange (78.8% of snaps) and Hunter Henry above Harold Fannin Jr. on the waiver wire, while acknowledging that this may be an unpopular call. 9. He says Zay Flowers had nine targets, 151 yards and a touchdown on a 47% target share, and Jackson Smith-Njigba had 13 targets for 133 yards and 178 air yards, and he names Amari Hampton and Alvin Kamara as buy-low trade targets. 10. Fantasy football managers weighing Week 2 starts, waiver pickups and trades will get the most from this episode.
