Insight pageD.J. Moore
DJ Moore led the league with 170 unrealized air yards in Week 1, including pass interference penalties. He had an impressive debut, nearly securing a 47-yard touchdown that was only prevented by a defensive panic save, and is a strong start for the upcoming Thursday night matchup against the Lions.
Insight pageDe'Von Achane
Devon Achane had a 16-yard back-shoulder catch in the fourth quarter overturned by an illegal use of hands penalty that was unrelated to the play's success.
Insight pageDK Metcalf
DK Metcalf ranked in the top three for unrealized air yards but faced several setbacks, including a missed pass interference call where his arm was pulled down, a 19-yard gain nullified by an offensive pass interference penalty, and a 40-plus yard opportunity effectively covered by AJ Terrell.
Insight pageGeorge Pickens
Despite remaining a major part of the offense with high unrealized air yards and leading the league in defensive pass interference yardage (38 yards this week), George Pickens struggled with drops, including a potential 40-yard gain and a 20-yard dig route, totaling approximately 60 yards of lost production.
Insight pageJavonte Williams
Javonte Williams demonstrated high-value usage in Week 1, getting stopped at the one-yard line twice on the same drive, which indicates he is heavily involved in the team's goal-line offense despite failing to score.

Insight pageMalik Washington
Malik Washington was noted for his involvement in unrealized air yards metrics during Week 1.
Insight pageMatthew Stafford

Insight pageTee Higgins
Tee Higgins recorded over 100 unrealized air yards in Week 1, showing significant downfield opportunity, but he missed out on a potential 40-plus yard gain due to a miscommunication with Joe Burrow.
Insight pageTre Harris
Tre Harris continues to show value as a deep threat with unrealized air yards, drawing a 48-yard defensive pass interference penalty; his opportunities may increase depending on the severity of Ladd McConkey's chest injury.
Insight pageTrey Palmer
Trey Palmer was officially credited with a drop on a potential nine-yard touchdown pass; Ian Hartitz noted his small stature (5'8", 150 lbs) makes him a limited target.
