Jayden Reed WR | GB
Packers' Jayden Reed: Back in Sunday's game
Reed (shin) returned to Sunday's game in Denver, Ryan Wood of USA Today reports.
Reed made his way to sideline slowly after making a five-yard catch in the last minute of the second quarter and was deemed questionable to return. After halftime, he was able to do so, rejoining Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Samori Toure as the Packers' available wide receivers.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bears' DJ Moore: Eight catches in win over Vegas
Moore caught eight of nine targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 30-12 win over the Raiders.
With undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent under center in place of Justin Fields (thumb), the Bears' passing game was limited to short, safe tosses, but Moore was still the team's top option through the air. The former Panther has exactly eight catches in three of the last four games, amassing a 29-466-4 line on 36 targets over that stretch, but if Fields isn't able to return in Week 8 against the Chargers, Moore will likely be more of a floor than a ceiling play.

Packers' Jayden Reed: Dealing with shin injury
Reed departed Sunday's game at Denver in the second quarter due to a shin injury.
Reed appeared to get hurt on a five-yard catch just before halftime. With Malik Heath a healthy scratch Sunday, the Packers' other available wide receivers are Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks and Samori Toure.

Amon-Ra St. Brown WR | DET
Lions' Amon-Ra St. Brown: Targeted 19 times
St. Brown recorded 13 receptions on 19 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Ravens.
The Lions offense was stalled for the entire game except for one late possession in garbage time, but that didn't stop St. Brown from recording his fourth 100-yard performance of the season. He did so almost entirely based on volume, as he averaged only 5.4 yards per target with his longest gain of the day going for 15 yards. While the performance wasn't one of his best, it does illustrate the safety of his weekly stat lines thanks to his integral role in the Detroit offense.

Jakobi Meyers WR | JAC
Raiders' Jakobi Meyers: Finds end zone again Sunday
Meyers caught seven of 13 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.
The touchdown came in garbage time after rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell had replaced Brian Hoyer under center. Meyers has scored a TD in three straight games and five times total on the year, a big leap from his Patriot days when he found the end zone only twice in his first three seasons. Jimmy Garoppolo (back) is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Meyers has shown he can be productive no matter who is throwing him the ball.

Davante Adams WR | LAR
Raiders' Davante Adams: Seven grabs in Sunday's loss
Adams caught seven of 12 targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 30-12 loss to the Bears.
The three-time All-Pro receiver led the Raiders in receiving yards while seeing double-digit targets for the first time since Week 4, but the volume didn't result in outstanding numbers, with the aging Brian Hoyer getting the start under center in place of Jimmy Garoppolo (back). Garoppolo is expected back in Week 8 against the Lions, but Adams has still been held under 60 yards in three straight games, and Las Vegas' issues on offense extend beyond the health of the team's starting QB.

Stefon Diggs WR | WAS
Bills' Stefon Diggs: Finds end zone in Week 7 loss
Diggs caught six of 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-25 loss to the Patriots.
Diggs had the presence of mind to get up and keep running after he wasn't touched on a sliding catch, resulting in a 25-yard touchdown to cut New England's lead to 22-17 in the fourth quarter. It was Diggs' sixth touchdown of 2023, putting him on pace for a third consecutive season with double-digit touchdowns. Buffalo's No. 1 receiver has drawn at least 11 targets in five of the team's first seven games, and he should remain heavily involved as the Bills try to bounce back Thursday against the Buccaneers.

Kalif Raymond WR | CHI
Lions' Kalif Raymond: Suffers hamstring injury
Raymond left Sunday's game against the Ravens with a hamstring injury.
Raymond hurt his hamstring in the fourth quarter and did not return to the blowout loss. The 29-year-old's status should be monitored heading into next week's game against the Raiders.

Mecole Hardman WR | BUF
Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Active for Sunday's game
Hardman is active for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.
With Justin Watson out with an elbow injury, Hardman -- who rejoined the Chiefs in a trade with the Jets on Wednesday -- will bolster the team's WR depth in Week 7. In his first game back with the franchise that drafted him in 2019, it remains to be seen how much work Hardman will see, but in the coming weeks, he could push for snaps in a Kansas City wideout corps that also includes Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Kadarius Toney and Justyn Ross.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Increased role on tap
Smith-Njigba is in line for an elevated role in Sunday's contest against the Cardinals with DK Metcalf (ribs/hip) inactive, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
While Tyler Lockett also is active Sunday, he operated with a cap on his practice reps during Week 7 prep due to a hamstring injury, meaning Smith-Njigba is the healthiest among the Seahawks' top two available wide receivers. If Smith-Njigba's volume in the passing game increases, he'll be looking to build upon the 16-110-0 line on 25 targets that he's accrued through the first five games of his career.
