Palmer secured four of five targets for 63 yards in the Chargers' 17-15 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night.

Palmer was expected to see a larger role with the absence of No. 2 receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle), but he saw only a slight bump in targets. The extra involvement was enough to allow Palmer to set season highs across the board, yet he was only third in catches and fourth in targets, with tight end Will Dissly surprisingly setting the pace across the board for the Chargers' pass catchers. Palmer next takes aim at the Saints in a Week 8 home matchup, a game that Johnston could also potentially sit out.

Robinson reeled in six of nine targets for 23 yards Sunday in a Week 7 loss to the Eagles.

Even with rookie Malik Nabers back from a two-week absence due to a concussion, Robinson continued to be peppered with plenty of looks from QB Daniel Jones, as he led the team in targets. However, Robinson's receptions resulted in just 23 yards, with his long gain of the day going for just six yards. The third-year wideout has been almost exclusively a short-field option for the Giants this season, as he's averaging just 7.0 yards per reception and has just one catch of 20-plus yards. Robinson has at least eight targets and five catches in six of his seven contests this season, giving him a relatively safe floor in PPR formats, though he's much less of an asset in non-PPR given that he's been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards five times on the campaign.

Flowers caught his only target for 11 yards and rushed once for 19 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.

Flowers appeared to hurt his ankle on his 19-yard run in the second quarter. He stayed in the game and couldn't corral a backward pass in the fourth quarter on a play that went down as a Lamar Jackson fumble. Flowers' lack of involvement was especially disappointing considering Jackson threw five touchdown passes, but it's likely that the ankle injury had something to do with Flowers' quiet night. With that context in mind, Flowers' Week 8 status will bear monitoring as he has one fewer day than usual to recover before facing the Browns.

Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.

With star rookie Malik Nabers out the previous two weeks due to a concussion, Slayton had stepped up as one of QB Daniel Jones' primary targets, totaling 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. However, Nabers returned Sunday, and Slayton predictably faded back into a lesser role. New York's offense struggled as a whole in the contest -- the team totaled a meager 105 passing yards -- and Slayton was on the field for all 58 of the team's snaps, so there's reason to believe the performance was a low point rather than a new norm. Still, it's been pretty clear this season that the veteran wideout is going to struggle to put up useful fantasy numbers whenever the frequently targeted Nabers is on the field.

Godwin was carted off the field Monday against the Ravens with his lower left leg in an air cast, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Godwin suffered the leg injury inside the final minute of Monday's contest. It appears to be a serious one. He had accumulated 65 yards on seven receptions prior to going down.

Williams is expected to receive a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Williams is expected to accept the suspension, per Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com. That would result in Williams being sidelined until Week 10 at Houston. In Williams' absence, Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond figure to serve as the primary backups behind Amon-Ra St. Brown at wide receiver.

Westbrook-Ikhine recorded two receptions on four targets for 10 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Bills.

Westbrook-Ikhine has only three catches for the season, though he's found the end zone with two. He accounted for Tennessee's only touchdown with a four-yard reception early in the second quarter of Sunday's loss. Westbrook-Ikhine could see an increased snap rate in Week 8 against Detroit if DeAndre Hopkins (leg) remains beat up, but the Titans' passing offense makes it difficult to trust any individual player to produce consistently.

Johnson reverted to Pittsburgh's practice squad Monday.

Johnson was elevated for the second time this season to provide extra depth with Roman Wilson (hamstring) out. However, Johnson failed to record any stats and played a mere 10 offensive snaps.

Wilkerson reverted to the Raiders' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Wilkerson was elevated to the active roster for the second week in a row, failing to record any stats in the team's 20-15 loss to the Rams. The wide receiver played 18 of the team's 79 offensive snaps, which was the fourth-highest total amongst players at his position. With Davante Adams now with the Jets and Jakobi Meyers (ankle) still banged up, it's possible that Wilkerson is active again in Week 8 versus Kansas City.

Evans (hamstring) won't return to Monday's game against the Ravens, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. He'll finish with a 25-yard touchdown reception across his three targets.

Evans tweaked his right hamstring while failing to reel in what would have been his second touchdown of the game in the second quarter. Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer could all be in store for added reps at receiver alongside Chris Godwin for the rest of the game.
