Robinson hauled in one of two targets for 22 yards Sunday in a 14-7 Week 7 win against Washington.

Robinson contributed a 22-yard reception late in the first quarter to help set up New York's first score, but he was limited to just one target thereafter. The performance was a letdown after the second-year wideout finished with campaign-high marks of eight targets, eight catches and 62 receiving yards last week versus Buffalo. Robinson had seen at least five targets in each of his previous four contests before Sunday and figures to continue to be a presence in the team's passing game, but his output thus far has made him difficult to trust on a weekly basis in fantasy.

Slayton caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 14-7 victory versus the Commanders.

Slayton posted season-best marks of four catches and 69 yards against Buffalo in Week 6, but he followed that effort with season-low totals of just one catch and two targets against Washington. His lone reception came near the end of the first quarter, and he was targeted just once after that. Meanwhile, Darren Waller led New York with seven catches, eight targets and 98 yards, and rookie Jalin Hyatt finished second in both targets (five) and receiving yards (75). Waller is the only pass catcher that has established week-to-week fantasy value for the Giants so far this season, and while Slayton ranks second on the team with 258 yards through the air on the campaign, he's yet to find the end zone through seven contests.

Pringle caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

Pringle ran only three routes, fifth most among Washington's wide receivers. He could perhaps get a little more playing time in the future if the team grows frustrated with Jahan Dotson, but for now the Commanders seem more inclined to let their 2022 first-round pick work through his struggles. Pringle isn't likely to see more than a target or two Week 8 against Philadelphia.

Samuel caught four of eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 14-7 loss to the Giants.

Samuel snapped a three-game streak with at least 42 receiving yards and a touchdown, and he finished without a carry for the third time in seven appearances this season. He's outproduced No. 2 receiver Jahan Dotson but isn't exactly getting big-time volume (5.6 targets per game) and hasn't done any better than 65 total yards in a a game this season. Samuel did have a season-high seven catches the last time Washington faced the Eagles, their upcoming opponent for Week 8.

Dotson caught five of eight targets for 43 yards in a 14-7 loss to the Giants on Sunday.

It was better than his one-target, zero-catch outing the week before and technically represents a season-high for yardage, but Dotson still hasn't reached 50 yards in a game this season or done much of anything to help fantasy managers. He ran a team-high 42 routes, suggesting his starting job is still safe, but the big plays from last year (14.9 YPR, seven TDs in 12 games) have completely dried up. Dotson gets a home game against the Eagles in Week 8, facing veteran cornerbacks Darius Slay and James Bradberry.

Watson appeared to injure his right knee on the final drive of Sunday's 19-17 loss to Denver, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The injury wasn't reported by Green Bay because it happened on the team's penultimate snap, one play before Jordan Love threw a game-sealing interception. Watson had minor surgery on his right knee last June and has missed time on multiple occasions due to hamstring/thigh injuries to that same leg.

Hill turned 15 targets into 11 receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Eagles.

Hill scored his seventh receiving touchdown of the season Sunday, tying the number he scored last year over 17 games in his first season with the Dolphins. The speedster continues to be the focal point of Miami's high-flying offense while leading the league with 902 receiving yards. Philadelphia's AJ Brown sits at No. 2 on that list, but he finished with the superior receiving line (10-137-1) for the victorious team Sunday. The Patriots will be the next team to attempt to slow down Hill's furious pace when Miami hosts New England next Sunday.

Brown hauled in 10 receptions on 15 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Dolphins.

Brown and the Eagles came out victorious in a primetime battle between conference contenders that featured two of the league's top wideouts Sunday. The 26-year-old bested Tyreek Hill's 11-88-1 receiving line for the Dolphins as both superstars led their respective teams with 15 targets apiece. Brown has now recorded at least 125 receiving yards in five consecutive games, tying an unofficial league record shared by Calvin Johnson (2012) and Pat Studstill (1966). Brown will look to become the sole holder of that honor if he can produce another monster receiving line against the Commanders next Sunday.

Valdes-Scantling secured three of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Chiefs' 31-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.

Valdes-Scantling finished a distant second in receiving yards to Travis Kelce on the afternoon for the Chiefs, but the veteran receiver's tally was his best of the season by far. Valdes-Scantling hadn't topped 48 receiving yards prior to Sunday, and the play that was integral to him eclipsing that mark, his early-second-quarter 46-yard touchdown reception, also served as his first score of the campaign. Despite the encouraging numbers Sunday, MVS remains a highly speculative fantasy option week-to-week due to the Chiefs' propensity for spreading the ball around to an inordinate number of targets.

Scott caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

After being targeted five times over Chicago's first five games, Scott has seen four targets in each of his last two games. The recent bump in production along with an increased snap share since Week 5 are promising, but until Scott can post higher yardage totals, he's not yet a consistent fantasy option.
