Wilson caught five of eight targets for 113 yards in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots.

Wilson's 27-yard catch down to the one-yard line in the second quarter set up Xavier Gipson's go-ahead touchdown catch on the next play. Wilson added a 26-yard catch later in the second quarter and a 35-yard grab in the third quarter to easily lead the Jets in receiving yards. Davante Adams was a distant second with 54 receiving yards. Wilson has caught 10 of 17 targets for 174 yards in two games since Adams' arrival, so Wilson maintains a prominent role heading into Thursday's home game against a Texans secondary that's been susceptible to big plays.

Doubs caught three of six targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars.

Doubs finished as the Packers' leading wide receiver behind tight end Tucker Kraft (3-78-1) on Sunday. The 24-year-old Doubs has been a solid fantasy option since being reinstated from a dispute regarding his playing time in Week 5, accruing 14 receptions for 215 yards and two touchdowns over a three-week span. Consider Doubs a flex-worthy fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against Detroit.

Kirk's left arm was in a sling after Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

After exiting with a shoulder injury, the wideout was subsequently ruled out for the remainder of the contest, and given DiRocco's report, Kirk's status for next weekend's game against the Eagles is cloudy. Fellow WRs Brian Thomas (chest) and Gabe Davis (shoulder) also were injured versus Green Bay, with the trio's status now worth tracking closely in the coming days.

Reed had two receptions (three targets) for 55 yards and did not gain any yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Jaguars.

Reed did most of his damage on a 51-yard reception Sunday, but he finished with just three touches in the win. The dynamic wideout saw his stats tail off after quarterback Jordan Love (groin) exited the game in the third quarter. Reed's big-play ability should keep him a viable fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Lions, but Love's presence would certainly be a boost to the receiver's projections.

Harrison hauled in six of seven targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over Miami.

Fantasy managers who drafted Harrison likely included him in lineup for Sunday's matchup despite his recent results, so the big outing was a strong signal for the rookie, who turned in his second 100-yard receiving effort of the season. Harrison is now up to a 26-411-5 receiving line through eight contests, with most of that production coming in two games.

Waddle caught four of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Waddle's fantasy managers had high hopes for a bounce back in Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return, but Waddle put forth yet another subpar outing as the Dolphins fell to 2-5. After posting 109 receiving yards in Week 1 against the Jaguars, Waddle hasn't exceeded 46 yards in any subsequent game. He'll try to snap that unsavory streak in a Week 9 road game against the Bills.

Smith brought in six of seven targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

In the wake of a one-catch Week 7 in which he netted minus-2 receiving yards, Smith obviously had nowhere to go but up Sunday and made good use of his opportunities. The fourth-year speedster finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with a picturesque over-the-shoulder 45-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter largely responsible for his successful afternoon. Smith's receiving yardage total was also a season high, and he's now been over 75 receiving yards in four of six games heading into a favorable Week 9 home matchup against a beatable Jaguars secondary.

Hill (foot) caught six of nine targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Cardinals.

Hill's 69 first-half receiving yards matched his highest full-game total during the four games Tua Tagovailoa missed due to a concussion. After starting hot with Tagovailoa back in tow, Hill added only three yards in the second half, likely due in part to the effects of a foot injury that had the speedster listed as questionable heading into Sunday's loss. Hill led the NFL with 1,799 receiving yards last season, but Tua's return seems unlikely to precipitate that level of production from Hill in 2024. Miami's passing game will look to pick things up in Week 9 against the Bills, who held Hill to 24 receiving yards in Week 2.

Chase secured nine of 11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) sidelined, Chase was unsurprisingly heavily involved and did record a touchdown for the second straight game on a two-yard grab with just under five minutes remaining in the first quarter. He also led the Bengals in receptions and targets with figures that qualified as his second highest of the season while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards to tight end Mike Gesicki. Chase next draws a tantalizing matchup against a vulnerable Raiders defense in a Week 9 home matchup, one that Higgins could potentially miss as well.

Diggs was forced out of Sunday's game against the Colts with a knee injury.

Per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, Diggs walked off on his own power before heading to the locker room, but this is a situation to monitor nonetheless. In Diggs' absence, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie are left to handle Houston's WR duties versus Indianapolis.
