  • Giants' Wan'Dale Robinson: Six first-half catches in win

    Robinson caught six of eight targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.

    All eight of Robinson's targets came in the first half, as New York made a concerted effort to get the rookie second-round pick involved early. He limped off the field late in the first half, per Adam Schefter of ESPN, and while Robinson stayed in the game, he wasn't thrown to after halftime. Robinson appeared to be hit below the belt prior to limping off, which would suggest there isn't an injury at play here, but his lack of involvement in the second half makes his status worth monitoring ahead of the Giants' Week 8 trip to Seattle.

  • DK Metcalf WR | PIT

    Seahawks' DK Metcalf: Won't return Sunday

    Metcalf won't return to Sunday's game versus the Chargers due to a knee injury.

    Metcalf's departure doesn't include any context, but he nonetheless won't see any more action Week 7, ending his day with one catch (on two targets) for 12 yards. The Seahawks thus will roll with Tyler Lockett, Marquise Goodwin, Dee Eskridge and Dareke Young at wide receiver for the rest of Sunday.

  • Allen Lazard WR | NYJ

    Packers' Allen Lazard: Picks up shoulder injury

    Lazard departed Sunday's game in Washington due to a shoulder injury.

    After recording a 17-yard reception at the end of the third quarter, Lazard went to the bench to be examined by the Packers' medical staff, according to Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site. While he returned to the game for at least one play, Lazard wasn't targeted again and likely will finish Week 7 action with six catches (on seven targets) for 55 yards.

  • Russell Gage WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Russell Gage: Departs Sunday's game

    Gage picked up a hamstring injury during Sunday's contest at Carolina, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Before exiting in the fourth quarter, Gage reeled in four of his five targets for 39 yards. He tended to a hamstring injury for the first four weeks of the campaign, so the fifth-year wide receiver may have aggravated the issue.

  • Penny Hart WR | ATL

    Seahawks' Penny Hart: Sitting out Sunday

    Hart (hamstring) in inactive Sunday against the Chargers.

    Hart was considered doubtful coming into the contest, so his absence is not a surprise. He contributes more on special teams than offense, so his absence is unlikely to have an impact for fantasy purposes.

  • Seahawks' Tyler Lockett: Active as expected Week 7

    Lockett (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 7 clash against the Chargers.

    The news surrounding Lockett's outlook had been increasingly positive throughout the weekend, and the veteran's active status is now confirmed. Lockett should therefore slot into his usual No. 2 role against a stingy Chargers pass defense that's allowed just 201.7 passing yards per game over the last three contests.

  • Keenan Allen WR | IND

    Chargers' Keenan Allen: Active for Sunday's game

    Allen (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Allen is thus in uniform for game action for the first time since Week 1, though it remains to be seen how close to his normal allotment of snaps he'll see in his return to the mix, a context that makes the 30-year-old a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 7. Given that Joshua Palmer (concussion) is out Sunday, however, the Chargers will gladly take anything they can get from Allen, who will work alongside Mike Williams versus Seattle, with DeAndre Carter also in the team's WR mix.

  • Tyler Johnson WR | DAL

    Texans' Tyler Johnson: Not playing Sunday

    Johnson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest versus the Raiders, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    After Johnson took the field for 43 percent of Houston's offensive snaps Week 5 against Jacksonville, the Texans have elected to sit him Sunday following their Week 6 bye. Johnson has yet to see a target in two appearances this season.

  • Chris Moore WR | BAL

    Texans' Chris Moore: Active in Week 7

    Moore (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Raiders, Drew Dougherty of the team's official site reports.

    Moore will therefore be active for the first time since Week 4, as he sat out the Texans' Week 5 game before their bye. The veteran should slide back into his usual No. 3 receiver role behind Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins against Las Vegas.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Raiders' Mack Hollins: Listed as active Sunday

    Hollins (heel) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans.

    Though Hollins recorded a 95 percent snap share in the Raiders' 30-29 loss to Kansas City back in Week 5, the wideout didn't haul in any of his four targets in the contest. With top TE Darren Waller (hamstring) out Sunday, however, Hollins has some bounce-back potential, but it remains to be seen how much the heel issue that limited him in practice this past week affects him, if at all, versus Houston.
