Hill wasn't on the field during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle, on the other hand, managed to participate, despite missing a chunk of Sunday's loss to Philadelphia with a back injury. Hill also went to the medical tent at one point but quickly returned and finished with 15 targets and his seventh touchdown of the season. The Dolphins will release their first Week 8 injury report later Wednesday, when an explanation behind Hill's absence from practice will be provided.

Watson (knee) is set to practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Even if he's merely a limited participant, Watson's presence on the field to begin Week 8 prep is a strong indication that he avoided a major injury when he limped off the field at the end of Sunday's 19-17 loss to Denver. He was hurt on Green Bay's second-to-last offensive snap and thus missed just one play (a game-sealing Denver interception).

Ross, who was arrested Monday in Shawnee, Kan., has been charged with domestic battery and criminal property damage, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

The 23-year-old wide receiver pleaded not guilty to both misdemeanor charges during his arraignment hearing Tuesday. The Chiefs have noted that they are aware of Ross' arrest, but the team hasn't indicated whether his arrest will affect his availability to practice or play moving forward. Ross is due back in court Dec. 4. The second-year player out of Clemson has suited up for all seven of the Chiefs' games thus far, tallying three catches for 34 yards on six targets while playing single-digit snaps on offense in five of those contests.

Jefferson secured one of his two targets for five yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.

Jefferson recorded his first catch as a member of the Falcons on Sunday while earning two targets for the second straight week. The veteran saw a major uptick in playing time in his second game with Atlanta, playing 49 percent of offensive snaps after playing just 27 percent of snaps in Week 6. If Jefferson continues to operate as the Falcons' second option at wideout behind Drake London, he could earn more opportunities in the team's passing attack. The 27-year-old will look to continue his increased involvement on offense when the Falcons visit the Titans in Week 8.

Hodge caught his only target for 19 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.

Hodge played the fewest offensive snaps (12) of any Falcons wideout, and his 19 yards in the contest matched his season high. The veteran has now totaled just five catches on six targets for 64 yards through seven games of the 2023 campaign. With limited opportunities in Atlanta's offense, Hodge should continue to remain off the fantasy radar when the Falcons visit the Titans in Week 8.

Hollins failed to record a single target in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Buccaneers.

Hollins was held without a target for the first time Sunday, as the receiver continued to see a drop in playing time. The veteran wideout has now played fewer than 30 offensive snaps in three straight games and played behind Drake London and Van Jefferson in the contest. It is possible that Jefferson's presence could limit Hollins' opportunities going forward, making the latter even more difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 30-year-old will look to bounce back in Week 8 when the Falcons visit the Titans.

Davis caught one of five targets for six yards in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.

Davis struggled to get much going Sunday despite seeing the third-most targets and playing the most offensive snaps (68) of any Bills pass catcher. After a strong start to the season, the wideout has cooled down over the past two weeks, with his six yards setting a new low mark so far in 2023. Nonetheless, Davis will look to bounce back Week 8, when the Bills host the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Hardman hauled in one of his three targets for six yards during Sunday's 31-17 win versus the Chargers.

Hardman didn't see a ton of action in his first game back in Kansas City, playing just 11 offensive snaps, but he also contributed on special teams and was at least involved on offense, drawing three targets in those 11 snaps. Given the relative mediocrity among the team's wideouts, Hardman could still make a play for regular reps at wide receiver, though Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Rashee Rice may have stated their cases to maintain sizable reps with strong showings Sunday.

Toney gathered in his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory against the Chargers.

Toney had claimed a combined 12 targets over the two previous games and had seen an uptick in his playing time, but that resulted in just eight catches for 35 yards and a score. His playing time waned again Saturday, with Toney logging just 13 offensive snaps, four fewer than Justyn Ross (17) and just two more than returning wideout Mecole Hardman (11), who just joined the team last week. Toney doesn't have a clear path to regular production, leaving him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

Moore had two receptions (on three targets) for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory over the Chargers.

While Moore ranked second on the team in terms of snaps among Chiefs wideouts Sunday, he turned in just two catches for the third straight game and hasn't drawn more than four targets since Week 3. Rookie Rashee Rice has outperformed the second-year wideout on a weekly basis and has drawn 20 targets to Moore's 11 over the past four games, so things seem to be trending in different directions for the two young wideouts.
