  • Romeo Doubs WR | NE

    Packers' Romeo Doubs: Blanked on stat sheet in loss

    Doubs failed to bring in any of his four targets in the Packers' 23-21 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

    The rookie was shut out on the stat sheet for the first time in his career, a blanking that came to pass even with a reasonable target total. Doubs has topped 47 receiving yards only once in his first seven games despite having logged at least five targets on five occasions, but he should have a solid chance of bouncing back in a Week 8 road matchup against the Bills on Sunday night where the Packers figure to have to pass heavily in an attempt to keep up.

  • Jaylen Waddle WR | DEN

    Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle: Leads team with 88 yards

    Waddle (shoulder) caught four of five targets for 88 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    Both Waddle and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) were able to suit up after carrying questionable tags during practice this week. Tyreek Hill (7-72-0) had a lopsided 13 to five advantage in targets, but it was Waddle who produced more yardage with less opportunities. Both starting wideouts will benefit from having a healthy Tua back under center, especially heading into a favorable matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

  • Robert Woods WR | PIT

    Titans' Robert Woods: Three catches in win

    Woods recorded three receptions on four targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 19-10 win over the Colts.

    The Titans jumped out to a 13-0 lead by halftime, so Ryan Tannehill attempted only 20 passes. As a result, Woods led the team with four targets and tied for the lead in receptions. He was also limited to short areas of the field and has now managed to surpass 40 receiving yards in only one of six games this season.

  • Tyreek Hill WR | MIA

    Dolphins' Tyreek Hill: Gains 72 yards on 13 targets

    Hill had seven receptions (13 targets) for 72 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over Pittsburgh.

    The Dolphins had starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion/ankle) back under center, and he immediately resumed peppering his favorite wideout with targets. Hill has now seen double-digit targets in four of the five games Tua has started this year. The speedster was held in check on the field -- considering the volume of targets he received -- resulting in his second lowest YPC of the season. Still, it was another productive outing for one of fantasy's top wideouts heading into a favorable matchup against the Lions next Sunday.

  • Steelers' Diontae Johnson: Targeted 10 times in defeat

    Johnson secured five of 10 targets for 42 yards during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Johnson led the Steelers in targets during Sunday's defeat, and he drew double-digit targets for the fifth time over the fist seven games of the season. However, he managed to secure only half of his targets and was held under 50 receiving yards for the third time in the last four weeks. He'll face a slightly tougher matchup against Philadelphia in Week 8.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Steelers' George Pickens: Reaches end zone in Miami

    Pickens secured all six of his targets for 61 yards and a touchdown during the Steelers' 16-10 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Pickens was held to just 27 receiving yards during last week's win over Tampa Bay while catching passes from Mitch Trubisky for most of the second half, but the rookie receiver was much more productive in Week 7 with Kenny Pickett under center for the entire game. Pickens was responsible for the Steelers' longest play of the game Sunday with a 30-yard reception during the second quarter, and he made an impressive catch for a seven-yard touchdown late in the first half. The 21-year-old has now been targeted at least six times in each of the last five games.

  • 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk: Team-high 11 targets in loss

    Aiyuk had seven receptions (11 targets) for 82 yards in Sunday's 44-23 loss to the Chiefs.

    Aiyuk stayed hot with another 80-plus yard game while garnering 11 targets for the second week in a row. The 24-year-old wasn't able to reproduce the two touchdowns from Week 6, but fantasy managers have to be happy with another high-volume game. The addition of Christian McCaffrey could eat into Aiyuk's recent uptick in targets once the dual-threat running back becomes familiar with San Francisco's playbook. For now, the former first-round pick is looking like a hot fantasy asset heading into a matchup against the Rams next Sunday.

  • Drake London WR | ATL

    Falcons' Drake London: Targeted once in loss

    London recorded one catch on one target for nine yards in Sunday's 35-17 loss to the Bengals.

    Marcus Mariota attempted only 13 passes on the day, but London's ability to command only one target is still a concern. London is likely to see his volume tick back up moving forward -- he has at least six targets in five of seven games this season -- though he has now failed to top 40 yards in four consecutive games. However, it is worth noting that he appeared on the injury report with a knee injury early in the week leading up to Sunday's game -- an issue that could have hampered him in this performance.

  • Colts' Parris Campbell: Another big effort

    Campbell recorded 10 receptions on 12 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Titans.

    Campbell turned in his second consecutive strong performance and led the Colts' receiving corps in targets, receptions and yards. He also accounted for the team's only touchdown of the day on a four-yard catch late in the third quarter. Campbell now has 23 targets across his last two games, and he should the chance to continue to rack up looks in the short areas of the field in the absence of Ashton Dulin (foot).

  • Panthers' Terrace Marshall: Two catches in Week 7 win

    Marshall secured two of three targets for 31 yards in the Panthers' 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    With the Panthers playing their first game without both Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson, Marshall stepped up with the second-highest receiving yardage total on the day behind DJ Moore. The second-year wideout was one of four pass catchers to record a gain of at least 20 yards through the air, and it's possible Marshall develops into a reliable No. 2 option alongside Moore if he can continue to outperform Laviska Shenault and Shi Smith.
