DJ Moore WR | BUF
Panthers' DJ Moore: Best game of season Sunday
Moore brought in seven of 10 targets of 69 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-3 yards in the Panthers' 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Moore's reception, yardage and target totals were all team highs, and the veteran also recorded his second touchdown grab of the season on a 20-yard catch just before halftime. Moore also has two single-digit yardage tallies this season in the Panthers' wildly inconsistent offense, so while Sunday's returns were a welcome sight, it remains to be seen if they can be replicated in a Week 8 road matchup against the Falcons' vulnerable secondary.

Nico Collins WR | HOU
Texans' Nico Collins: Suffers groin injury Sunday
Collins departed Sunday's game at Las Vegas due to a groin injury.
At the time the health concern was announced early in the fourth quarter, Collins had three catches (on three targets) for 33 yards to his name. If Collins is unable to return, Brandin Cooks, Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett will the Texans' available wide receivers with Tyler Johnson a healthy scratch Week 7.

Chris Godwin WR | TB
Buccaneers' Chris Godwin: Seven grabs in Week 7 loss
Godwin brought in seven of 13 targets for 43 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Godwin was second on the afternoon in receptions and targets for the Buccaneers but mostly limited to a short-area role, leading to his second-lowest yardage tally of the season. The veteran has compiled at least six grabs in four straight games, but he'll head into a Week 8 home showdown against the Ravens on Thursday night still searching for his 100-yard game of the season.

Mike Evans WR | SF
Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Impressive day goes for naught
Evans secured nine of 15 targets for 96 yards in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Evans' reception, receiving yardage and target totals led the Buccaneers on the afternoon, but the impressive numbers didn't come close to equating to any true offensive team success. The game may have turned out quite differently had Evans not dropped a perfectly thrown pass from Tom Brady in the first quarter in which he'd broken wide open down the middle of the field for a sure touchdown. Evans' catch total was also a season-best figure and his yardage tally the second highest of the campaign for him, so he'll head into a Week 8 Thursday night home showdown against the Ravens with some momentum.

Amari Cooper WR | LV
Browns' Amari Cooper: Touchdown called back in loss
Cooper secured three of four targets for 74 yards in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Cooper's stat line -- and very likely the game result, for that matter -- would have been different had his 34-yard touchdown grab with just over two minutes remaining stood. However, Cooper was rightfully called for pushing off Marcus Peters, and Cade York subsequently saw his 61-yard field-goal attempt partly blocked. Cooper's yardage total did lead Cleveland on the afternoon, and although his touchdown streak was snapped at two games, he's now eclipsed the 70-yard mark on four occasions in the last six contests. Cooper and the Browns face off with the division-rival Bengals in a Week 8 Monday night battle.

Christian Kirk WR | SF
Jaguars' Christian Kirk: Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Kirk caught seven of 10 targets for 96 yards, rushed once for five yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.
Jacksonville continued to get Kirk involved frequently, as he was targeted nine-plus times for the fourth time in seven games in addition to getting the ball in a couple of less conventional ways. Kirk's yardage total was his highest since a 117-yard Week 1 performance in the wide receiver's Jaguars debut, but replicating this effort won't be easy in Week 8 against shutdown cornerback Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.

Ja'Marr Chase WR | CIN
Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase: Another explosive effort
Chase recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-17 win over the Falcons.
Chase posted a nearly identical line to his massive performance in Week 6, logging his second consecutive game with at least 130 yards and two scores. He reached the end zone from 41 and 32 yards, which accounted for the majority of his production. Chase also overcame a brief injury scare late in the first half and had a quiet final two quarters, though he still managed three catches for 18 yards, suggesting he escaped relatively unscathed.
-
Darius Slayton WR | IND
Giants' Darius Slayton: Catches 32-yard TD in win
Slayton caught three of six targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.
Slayton capped the opening drive with a 32-yard touchdown catch but didn't contribute much after that. Struggles with drops have limited the deep threat's effectiveness, but Slayton continues to play a featured role in New York's banged-up receiving corps heading into a Week 8 road game in Seattle.
-
CeeDee Lamb WR | DAL
Cowboys' CeeDee Lamb: Team-high receiving yardage Sunday
Lamb brought in four of six targets for 70 yards and netted minus-4 yards on one carry in the Cowboys' 24-6 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Lamb's receiving yardage total was a team high, while his reception tally was second behind only the team-high five catches secured by Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz. Lamb's first game back with Dak Prescott didn't result in better numbers than he compiled in a couple of his games with Cooper Rush under center, but the third-year receiver naturally should have a chance to reignite his chemistry with the talented quarterback the more they play together moving forward.
-
Wan'Dale Robinson WR | TEN
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.
