  • Jauan Jennings WR | MIN

    49ers' Jauan Jennings: Garners nine targets on MNF

    Jennings finished with five receptions (on nine targets) for 54 yards in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota.

    Jennings experienced a stark increase in targets, with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) on the sideline for Monday's loss, unlike last week when the slot receiver's usage remained stagnant following his star teammate's departure. The nine targets set a new career high for Jennings, a third-year wideout, but his five receptions Monday did not. Jennings should stick in the starting lineup after the team already ruled Samuel out for Week 8, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect this gaudy of a target total from the role player against the Bengals on Sunday.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Modest production in loss

    Aiyuk had five receptions (on six targets) for 57 yards in Monday's 22-17 loss to Minnesota,

    Aiyuk took over as San Francisco's No. 1 wideout with Deebo Samuel (shoulder) expected to miss multiple weeks to injury. The elevated role did not produce more targets for Aiyuk, who finished with a stat line right around the four receptions and 67 yards he averaged over his previous two contests. The 25-year-old is providing steady production through seven weeks, but a recent lack of touchdowns (none since Week 1) has limited his fantasy value. Aiyuk still is considered a strong play heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Chris Olave WR | NO

    Saints' Chris Olave: Gets arrested Monday

    Olave was arrested Monday for reckless operation of a motor vehicle, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Olave was reportedly traveling 35 mph over the posted speed limit. He is getting processed and will be released from Kenner City (La.) Jail. The Saints are aware of the situation, but there are no further details at this time.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Career-best effort in upset win

    Addison brought in seven of 10 targets for 123 yards and two touchdowns in the Vikings' 22-17 win over the 49ers on Monday night.

    The rookie paced the Vikings in receiving yards on a night where he was forced to exit the game for a time with cramping. Addison scored from 20 and 60 yards out in the first and second quarters, respectively, pushing his season touchdown total to six. The fleet-footed USC product's night also served as his first 100-yard effort as a pro, raising expectations ahead of a Week 8 road matchup against the Packers that will once again see Addison take the field without Justin Jefferson (hamstring, IR).

  • Antoine Green WR | DET

    Lions' Antoine Green: Snap share spikes

    Green was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 38-6 loss to Baltimore.

    With Marvin Jones (personal) being ruled out before Kalif Raymond (hamstring) went down with an in-game injury, Green more than doubled his previous career high in offensive snaps -- seeing just as many as Jameson Williams -- while remaining a key figure on special teams. Should Jones and Raymond continue to miss time, Green could continue to take on a heightened role in the offense.

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Returns to game

    Addison (cramps) has returned to Monday's matchup with the 49ers, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Addison briefly left the game and headed to the locker room after experiencing cramps. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual role at receiver and look to build on an already big game.

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Questionable to return

    Addison is questionable to return to Monday's contest against the 49ers due to cramps, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

    Addison headed to the locker room near the end of the third quarter after experiencing cramps. Prior to that, he was experiencing a career game with 110 yards and two touchdowns on six receptions. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return Monday.

  • Jordan Addison WR | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Addison: Heads to locker room

    Addison exited Thursday's game against the 49ers and headed toward the locker room after suffering an apparent foot injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Addison was able to walk to the locker room under his own power. The rookie was enjoying a career game before exiting with six receptions for 110 yards and two trips to the end zone. It remains to be seen what his status will be for the remainder of the game.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Lions' Josh Reynolds: Modest production

    Reynolds caught two of three targets for 45 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

    The volume and production were each the lowest of the season for Reynolds outside of his Week 3 goose egg against Atlanta. On the bright side, Reynolds continued to log around 70 percent of the offensive snaps despite Jameson Williams approaching 50 percent of the snaps for the second time in the past three weeks. The Texas A&M product will look to bounce back Week 8 against a Raiders team permitting the third-fewest passing yards per game in 2023.

  • Trey Palmer WR | NO

    Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Limited to once catch in loss

    Palmer secured one of two targets for five yards in the Buccaneers' 16-13 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Palmer's output was especially disappointing in the context of his 47-snap workload. The rookie didn't exactly see many opportunities, however, and he certainly retains plenty of upside thanks to his blazing speed. Palmer could also be primed for a bump in targets if Chris Godwin (neck) is limited or out in a Week 8 Thursday night road showdown against the Bills.
