Wilson secured two of three targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.

Wilson has been more involved on offense for Miami as of late, and he made one highlight reel downfield catch to give the passing game life late in the second quarter. The rotational wideout nearly came up with another deep ball for what would have been a clutch fourth-down conversion later in the contest, though a missed facemask penalty on James Bradberry prevented that. Wilson also had a trick play drawn up with him as the passer, though he ultimately took a sack rather than throwing downfield. In deeper fantasy formats, savvy managers may want to monitor whether Wilson's involvement continues to grow when the Dolphins take on the Patriots in Week 8.

Wicks caught one pass for 17 yards, rushed once for one yard and completed one pass for 14 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

Wicks played less than half as many snaps as three other Packers wideouts, but he did make a couple plays while he was out there. He recorded six receptions for 85 yards and a score across Weeks 2 and 3 but has totaled just two receptions for 27 yards in three games since.

Reed was targeted four times and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Broncos.

Reed technically was not the intended recipient of his touchdown, as he hauled in a pass that was deflected by teammate Romeo Doubs. However, in the box score he was credited with both the target and his first touchdown since Week 2. Reed briefly left Sunday's game with a shin injury, but he returned and wound up playing just under 50 percent of the plays run by Green Bay's offense. With Christian Watson coming out of Sunday's loss with another knee issue, Reed could see his role increase once again in Week 8 against the Vikings.

Austin rushed once for one yard during the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Austin scored his first career touchdown via a long reception against the Raiders in Week 3, but his workload has dropped off over the last few games. He's been targeted just once over the last two matchups and played a season-low seven snaps Sunday with Diontae Johnson back in action. As long as the Steelers' other receivers remain healthy, Austin is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option.

Robinson secured his lone target for seven yards during the Steelers' 24-17 win over the Rams on Sunday.

The 30-year-old put together some relatively encouraging performances over the past few weeks while Diontae Johnson was sidelined, but Robinson's role within the Steelers' offense decreased once Johnson was back in action. Robinson hasn't topped 30 receiving yards in any of the last five games and is unlikely to be a reliable fantasy option now that the team's receiver room is back to full strength.

Renfrow caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

Renfrow was credited with a start Sunday, but he ultimately played fewer offensive snaps (24) than rookie receiver Tre Tucker (32). Fellow wideouts Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers also hogged 25 targets between the two, leaving Renfrow little opportunity to produce. Given his diminished role in the Raiders' offense, the veteran slot receiver won't have much more fantasy appeal in Week 8 against the Lions even if Jimmy Garoppolo (back) returns to the lineup.

Tucker caught two of three targets for 16 yards and rushed once for two yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.

The rookie speedster's pair of receptions came on the Raiders' last drive of the game with the team trailing 30-6 and fellow rookie Aidan O'Connell under center instead of veteran Brian Hoyer. Tucker ultimately finished the contest with a career-high 32 offensive snaps played. He figures to continue in a depth role at wideout behind Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers in Week 8 against the Lions, but the potential return of Jimmy Garoppolo (back) would elevate the ceiling of all the Raiders' pass-catchers.

Thompson played three offensive snaps and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Cardinals.

The Seahawks frequently utilized two tight-end sets Sunday, meaning Thompson rarely played as the No. 4 wide receiver. The 27-year-old has suited up in six games for the Seahawks this season and has caught one pass for 10 yards.

Smith finished with four receptions (on five targets) for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Dolphins.

Fellow starter A.J. Brown kept his monster season going with another 100-yard receiving game Sunday that dwarfed Smith's results. Not that the two teammates are competing with each other, but it has become apparent who the true No. 1 option is in Philly after both players cleared 1,000 receiving yards in 2022. Smith's current 32-383-2 line through seven games projects to numbers worse than he recorded in his rookie season. The Alabama standout would benefit from a big performance against Washington next Sunday, or he may find himself falling to third on Jalen Hurts' mental depth chart with tight end Dallas Goedert's role on the rise once again.

Waddle exited Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles in the second quarter with an apparent back injury. He was able to return after halftime, finishing with six receptions on as many targets for 63 yards.

Waddle was seen favoring his back on the sidelines in the second quarter before being taken to the locker room for further treatment. It appears that the Dolphins' No. 2 wideout avoided serious injury, as he was able to return in the second half and tack on four more receptions to his final total. Waddle alleviated any concerns regarding his brief exit Sunday by telling reporters, "I feel good. Solid," following the loss to Philadelphia, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports. Taking him at his word, expect Waddle to line up with the rest of Miami's starters against the Patriots next Sunday.
