Williams injured his ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Williams is officially listed as questionable to return, but he almost certainly won't come back into the game against Seattle with Los Angeles trailing by three touchdowns down the stretch. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN, Williams was put on a cart on the sideline and taken to the locker room. The Chargers' timely Week 8 bye will give Williams an extra week to heal up before a Week 9 contest against the Falcons. He caught seven of nine targets for 86 yards and a touchdown prior to getting injured.

Reynolds caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.

After seeing 28 targets over the previous three games, Reynolds was curiously unused on a day that Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) left early to join DJ Chark (ankle) on the sidelines. Instead, Kalif Raymond led the way among Lions receivers as Jared Goff slowly worked his way into scoring position before turning the ball over on four occasions. If St. Brown needs to miss time, Reynolds would slot in as the Detroit's clear No. 1 option at wideout in Week 8 against Miami.

Pittman recorded six receptions on nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 19-10 loss to the Titans.

Coming off a 16-target performance, Pittman remained heavily involved in the Colts' offense but was outshined by Parris Campbell. The former was also held under 60 yards for the third time in six games this season, as only two of his catches went for double-digit yards. Pittman has become very reliant on volume, as his two 100-yard tallies came in games when he had 13 and 16 targets, respectively. That may say more about the Colts' offense than Pittman, but it still isn't particularly positive for his outlook moving forward.

Raymond caught five of six targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.

With DJ Chark (absence) sidelined, the second-quarter injury to Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) effectively threw Raymond into the No. 2 wideout role behind Josh Reynolds. Raymond not only delivered from a receiving standpoint, but he also threw a memorable block at one point as well. With Chark set to miss to miss at least the next three games and Jameson Williams (knee) still on the NFI list, Raymond could again play a significant role on offense depending on whether St. Brown can clear concussion protocol in time for next Sunday's matchup with Miami.

Peoples-Jones brought in all six targets for 71 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens. He also lost a fumble.

The speedster checked in second only to David Njoku (foot) in receptions and drew even with the tight end for second in receiving yards. Peoples-Jones' numbers also equaled his season highs in those categories, and with a 26-336 line through seven games, he's well on pace to exceed his career bests. His next opportunity to make an impact comes in a Week 8 home matchup against the divisional-rival Bengals in a Monday night Halloween clash.

Bateman (foot) brought in four of five targets for 42 yards in the Ravens' 23-20 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Bateman led the Ravens in receptions in his return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury, and he also shared the team lead in receiving yardage with Devin Duvernay. Now that the second-year wideout seems to be back to full health, he'll aim to make a bigger impact in a Week 8 Thursday night road showdown against the Buccaneers.

Waddle (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

A shoulder issue led to Waddle logging limited practices this past week, but he'll give it a go Sunday and, barring any in-game setbacks, should continue to see his share of targets alongside fellow starting wideout Tyreek Hill in QB Tua Tagovailoa's (concussion) return to the lineup following a two-game absence. Through six contests, Waddle has done his part from a fantasy perspective, catching 30 of his 49 targets for 533 yards and three TDs, while Hill has racked up an impressive 50-701-2 line on 65 targets in that span.

Collins (groin) was ruled out of Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

Collins thus will end Week 7 action with three catches (on three targets) for 33 yards. With fellow wide receiver Tyler Johnson a healthy scratch Sunday, the Texans are down to Brandin Cooks, Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett at the position.

Samuel caught five of eight targets for 53 yards and rushed five times for 26 yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Packers.

Samuel was involved as both a rusher and a pass catcher, notching double-digit touches for the third time in seven games. His eight targets tied Terry McLaurin for the most looks from quarterback Taylor Heinicke. Samuel should continue to play a prominent role in Week 8 against the Colts.

McLaurin caught five of eight targets for 73 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Packers.

McLaurin reignited his chemistry with Taylor Heinicke in Heinicke's season debut, highlighted by a 37-yard touchdown catch to put Washington up 17-14 in the third quarter. After recording just one touchdown in six games with Carson Wentz (finger) under center, McLaurin could be trending up, though a stingy Colts secondary will do its best to limit the two-time 1,000-yard receiver in Week 8.
