Gipson caught his only target for a one-yard touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Gipson made the most of his first target since Week 4, securing a tough catch on a low throw right at the goal line, which was upheld as a touchdown upon review. His contributions as a slot receiver come second to Gipson's special teams exploits. The second-year pro had 71 yards on four punt returns.

Sutton caught eight of 11 passes for 100 yards in Sunday's 28-14 win over the Panthers.

In rookie quarterback Bo Nix's best performance yet, Sutton broke out for his first 100-yard game of the campaign and a season high in receptions. Nix may have made it a point of emphasis to get the ball to Sutton after the fifth-year wideout went without a target the week before against the Saints, but given the results, he isn't likely to be forgotten about again. Sutton could be in line for big numbers again Week 9 against a Ravens secondary that has struggled all year and just got torched for a 7-99-2 line by the unheralded Cedric Tillman and a 5-79-0 line by former Bronco Jerry Jeudy.

Woods caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts. He also returned two punts for 23 yards.

Woods, who returned to action following a two-game absence due to a foot injury, played a larger role on offense than anticipated. That was due to the potentially serious knee injury suffered by Stefon Diggs, who is headed for an MRI and is unlikely to play Thursday against the Jets. Some combination of Woods, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie will fill the wideout void created by Diggs' injury.

Legette caught four of seven targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

The rookie wideout opened the scoring by grabbing a six-yard strike from Bryce Young in the first quarter. Legette has gotten into the end zone three times in the last five games, but he's managed only 16 catches for 134 yards on 25 targets over that stretch. Carolina's passing game is likely to be in flux in the second half of the season as coach Dave Canales sorts out his QB situation and the front office decides whether or not to trade away Diontae Johnson (ribs) and/or Adam Thielen (hamstring), but Legette likely will see his role continue to grow as the team focuses on the development of the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 Draft.

Hutchinson caught his lone target for 19 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis in Week 8.

He maintained an elevated snap count (44) with Nico Collins (hamstring) out, and Hutchinson was on the field more than either Robert Woods (24 snaps) or John Metchie (20). However, all three could be in line for increased roles this coming Thursday against the Jets, as Stefon Diggs suffered what appears to be a serious knee injury Sunday. Collins isn't due back until Week 10, so Houston's wideout group this Thursday could be headed by Tank Dell, with Hutchinson, Metchie and Woods behind him.

Coker caught four of six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.

The rookie led the Panthers in receiving yards on the day, and Coker capped his performance with his first career touchdown as he hauled in a 15-yard toss from Bryce Young in the fourth quarter. Over the last four games, the undrafted wideout out of Holy Cross has posted a respectable 12-186-1 line on 14 targets, but Coker's role in Carolina's passing game will hinge on the health of Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) -- assuming the veteran receivers don't get shipped out before the trade deadline.

Metchie caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.

Metchie had his most productive game of the season on a day when Stefon Diggs sustained a non-contact knee injury that may be season-ending. Two of Metchie's targets came on the same drive after Diggs was removed from the game. If the injury turns out to be significant and Diggs joins Nico Collins (hamstring) on the sidelines, Tank Dell would occupy the top of the depth chart, while Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson and Robert Woods take on greater roles as well.

Boyd recorded three catches on six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's loss 52-14 loss to the Lions.

Boyd finished second on the team with six targets, though he didn't take advantage. He should continue to operate as a key member of Tennessee's wide receiver corps with DeAndre Hopkins now in Kansas City, though that's not likely to lead to much production given the state of the team's offense.

Ridley recorded 10 receptions on 15 targets for 143 yards in Sunday's 52-14 loss to the Lions.

The Titans have been doing everything they can to get Ridley the ball, but he entered Sunday's game with only three catches across 17 targets over the last two games. His outlook brightened in Sunday's loss thanks to big gains of 47 and 26 yards, and he showed at least some modest rapport with Mason Rudolph. Given the state of the Titans' offense, it's difficult to trust Ridley moving forward despite Sunday's positive outcome.

Meyers recorded six receptions on seven targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

Meyers returned from a two-game absence and immediately led the Raiders in targets and receptions. He was heavily involved on the opening drive, converting a key first down with an 11-yard catch before finding the end zone from seven yards away. Meyers then tallied his longest catch of the day for 17 yards early in the second quarter, setting up a Las Vegas field goal. While his final stat line was modest, Meyers should dominate targets along with Brock Bowers moving forward.
